Rolling over with a groan, I cursed the bottle of scotch I’d devoured the night before

It seemed like such a good idea at the time, but now I was paying for it. My head throbbed, and my mouth tasted like something had died in it. I hadn’t had a hangover in a long time, and now I remembered why I was usually so careful.

A nagging feeling inside me was saying something happened last night. More than getting drunk. My head was in that foggy in between place, half in sleep and half in my impending hangover. Clawing my way out of the scratchy polyester quilt, I put my feet on the floor, and for the first time since Jessie had ditched me, I got up and started to pull it the hell together.

Getting in the shower was the first step, and then I needed to shave this crap off my face, get in the car, and find my way to Nashville. It seemed like the promised land, and if I managed to get there, then I hoped things would get better.

Music was the only thing I could count on to save me. I had to believe it because I couldn’t believe in anything else right now. The human race had let me down big-time.

As the water pounded onto my skin, washing away the stench of alcohol, my mind wandered back to the night before. Had Jessie really been here? She’d turned up at my door, and I’d just lost it and kissed her. My tongue against hers, my hands in her hair, her perfect brown eyes. Running my fingers across my lips, I remembered what that felt like. Remembered what it was to be consumed. She was still in there, lodged in my heart, and I wanted her out.

Shit, that scotch really did a number on me. Did I get so drunk that I hallucinated her? Fucking hell. How would she even be able to find me? The moment I thought it, Zoe’s face flashed in my mind. Fucking Zoe.

Dragging my sorry ass out of the shower, I cleaned myself up, shaving and getting dressed. I had to focus on the task at hand because if I didn’t, then I would be focusing on someone else.

Packing my bag and sliding my sunglasses on, I downed a glass of water before opening the door and walking out into the cool morning. The fresh air hit my face, and it was oddly soothing.

What I didn’t expect was to find Jessie sitting on the bonnet of the car, and my heart did this stupid flip-flop thing. So, not an alcohol related hallucination after all. I felt a burning sensation at the thought of kissing her last night.

“I don’t have a way to get home,” she said, her gaze fixed on me.

“Not my problem.” I threw my stuff in the boot and slammed the back closed with a bang. Ignoring her, I went down to the office and dropped my key in the box.
