SEVENTEEN

“So, he just bolted?” Skylar asked with wide eyes as she scooped some vanilla froyo into a sundae glass.

“Pretty much. I mean, don’t get me wrong. It worked out for the best, because I had that shoot with the people from Cosmo today, anyway,” I replied.

“Which I’m sure was probably awesome, but still. You have every right to be disappointed about Colton just leaving like that.”

“Yeah,” I agreed. “I think it was mostly just that it was weird how it happened, you know? It was so out of nowhere. Once he got off the phone, it seemed like he was really upset for some reason. He told me we had to come back here so he could get his car and go. He didn’t really say much of anything on the walk back, and then he was gone without more than a goodbye.” I let out a sigh. “I think he’s probably just dating someone.”

She shook her head. “No, I don’t think that’s it.”

“Really?” I raised my eyebrows.

“It’s always possible. He is Colton King, after all…but I don’t think a girlfriend is the one who’s calling. If she is, things clearly aren’t going well. I mean, he slept in your bed last night. If he was in a happy relationship, wouldn’t he have gone home to her? And if it’s not going well, he has no real reason to answer or rush to leave at her beck and call, you know? He’d probably just ignore her call.”

“I guess you’re right,” I replied, even though I wasn’t entirely convinced. “Who else could it be, though?”

“Do you know anything about his family?” Skylar questioned as she sprayed some whipped cream onto her frozen yogurt.

Just that someone in his family was an alcoholic. But I wasn’t about to tell her that. Skylar was my best friend, and I knew that, regardless of what had happened in Nashville, I could trust her with anything, but this felt like something that just needed to stay between Colton and I.

“Not really,” I lied.

“Maybe he’s just a mama’s boy and goes running any time she calls him to open a jar of pickles for her,” she suggested. “Or maybe there was some type of family emergency he doesn’t want to talk about. You never know.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.” I sighed. “This is why I don’t date. I hate dating.”

Her lips curved into an amused smile. “Hmm.”

“What are you ‘hmming’ about?” I narrowed my eyes at her.

“Oh, I don’t know. Suddenly, you’re talking about dating the guy. What happened to not mixing business and pleasure, Miss ‘I Have Willpower’?”

“My idea of not mixing business and pleasure sounds great in theory, but come on… let’s be real. This is Colton King. It’s impossible for any girl to work with him and sleep in the same bed with him on more than one occasion and not want something more.”

Skylar laughed. “You’re lucky we didn’t actually bet on this, because you would’ve been out of money.”

She was right. I so would’ve lost.
