Chapter Seven

Groaning, hands held to his head in an effort to keep it from falling off, Jesse sat up and cracked open an eye. He seemed to have fallen asleep on one of the couches in the basement, and there were other guys passed out on the floor and on the beat-up lazy boy recliner. A square of daylight through a window high on the wall revealed it to be daytime.

He pulled his phone from where it was wedged between the cushions and saw it was nearly four o’clock. Shit, he had less than an hour before they took off again. He was starving, he stunk, and he couldn’t quite focus his eyes. How the hell was he going to play tonight?

This was why he’d stopped partying so hard after the last tour. It was bad for business.

Grabbing his guitar, which even in his drunken stupor he’d managed to return to its case last night, he emerged onto the first floor to find a couple guys playing video games and drinking.

“Dude, you look like shit,” Kelly observed from his spot on the floor in front of the TV. “Want a beer?”

“Shit, no¸” Jesse said, his stomach turning over at the thought. “You’ve been a bad enough influence already.” Grabbing his bag from the corner he headed for the bathroom.

“Not nearly bad enough,” Kelly called over his shoulder, thumbs still moving on the console. “I don’t know how you let that hot piece go last night. She totally wanted it.”

Jesse stopped in his tracks. “What are you talking about? Do you mean Beth? Because we’re–”

“Nah, not her, though now that you mention it, I’d do her too. I meant the chick that nearly sucked your face off.”

“Exactly when was this?” Jesse asked, dread filling him at the thought of Beth witnessing that.

Kelly looked at him, clearly wondering why that mattered. “Dude, how the hell do I know? Sometime between you getting here and passing out.”

It was starting to come back to him. Some girl kissing him just as the urgent need to take a piss had come over him. He’d untangled himself from her to find the bathroom and then wandered downstairs. He hadn’t even thought of the girl again. Beth had been at the party for a while, but at some point he’d gone looking for her and come up empty. He didn’t remember much after that.

Christ. Had Beth seen him kissing her?

Another groan escaped him at the sight of himself in the warped bathroom mirror. What were the chances he’d look like a human being before Beth showed up?

He hadn’t shaved in days and had passed from scruffy to homeless, so he took care of that as soon as he’d showered. Maybe he was a mess and a fool, but he didn’t need to give her further evidence of it.

He hadn’t given up hope that he’d somehow have Beth before the end of the tour. That was the only explanation for his celibacy. He’d never gone more than a few days on the road without sex, but now he’d gone over a week with no one in his bed but him.
