Van

Waking up next to Lexi was the best thing I’d done all year. Maybe ever. I’d woken up next to women before but always with the main focus being getting out of there or getting them out of there. With Lexi, I was dreading having to leave her room yet knew I had to.

Most of all, I wanted to wake her before I left but decided against it. We’d been up late and she looked so comfortable snuggled down into the mattress. Most disappointedly, she’d put pajamas on before we’d fallen asleep last night.

I sat on the bed watching her for as long as I dared before leaning over and pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. Then I slipped from her room as quietly as I could. Just because I needed to go take care of some things didn’t mean she should get up.

“What the fuck?” that annoying voice said from behind me right after the door finally closed.

Of course Lawson would see me leaving his sister’s room. Of course he would.

I’d known I was going to have to deal with him at some point. May as well be now. I didn’t give two shits if he knew about Lexi and me but she seemed to which meant I had to respect that. But it wasn’t my fault he was lurking around her room this fucking early in the morning.

“Morning, Lawson,” I said after I turned toward him. He was in his standard dress pants and shirt. I never understood why he dressed that way, given that not a single fucking person would’ve cared what he was wearing. Most people on tour wore jeans and T-shirts but now Lawson and now that I thought about it, not Mack. I guess it’s a manager thing.

“Again,” he said. “What the fuck?”

I folded my arms over my chest and took a deep breath. This was going to require some patience. “What are you doing out here?”

“Daisy’s and my room is just two doors down.”

Well, that was awkward.

“Now,” he continued, “and please don’t make me say it again. What the fuck?”

I scratched the back of my head and fought off a grin. “You’ll have to be more specific.”

“I just saw you coming out of Lexi’s room. What were you doing with my sister?”

Now I winced. “I don’t think you want those details. I know I sure as fuck don’t want to give them.”

Lawson’s jaw tightened and he took one step forward before stopping himself. “Jesus Christ, Van. You’re taking this thing with me too far.”

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

“You’re messing with my sister to get back at me. I get it. You don’t want me with Daisy. I hear from Mack all the fucking time that I’m too old for her. But this…this is taking it too far. You don’t get it, man. You don’t know what she’s going through right now and it’s not OK.”

I furrowed my brows. I didn’t know what Lexi was going through because she hadn’t told me and had made it crystal clear that she didn’t want to.
