Chapter Twenty

Blake

“What do you want to watch?” Hadley yelled from across the room. She flipped through the channels, going ninety miles an hour.

How the hell could she see what was on? I grabbed a beer from the refrigerator and joined her on the couch. “If football was on, I’d say we could watch that. The Carolina Cougars have been killing it.”

She handed me the remote. “That’s because Cooper Davis has been kicking ass at quarterback.”

I coughed and almost choked on my beer. “You watch football?”

“Yeah, all the time. Cooper is one of my favorites. I met him when I sang at the last Super Bowl.”

“Would I be name dropping if I said I personally knew him?”

Her eyes went wide. “No way, really?”

“Yep. There was a bar in downtown Charlotte where we used to hang out all the time. Sometimes I miss being back there.” Hadley snuggled into my side and I put my arm around her. She’d been with me for over a month and I knew it was only a matter of time before she had to leave.

“When was the last time you went back?” she asked.

“Over a year now. I don’t have any siblings and both my parents like to travel, so it’s not like I have anything to go back to.”

“That must be fun to travel the world. One day I hope to be able to do that when I’m not stuck on a tour bus. Are they retired?” She turned to look up at me.

I nodded. “For two years now. They decided it was time to live life to the fullest. You never know when your gig is up.”

She blew out a heavy sigh. “My parents were like that, but my mom didn’t have much time. It’s not fun watching someone you love suffer.”

I swallowed hard and rubbed her shoulder. “I know. I’ve been through that as well.”

“What?” she gasped, eyes wide in surprise. “Who?”

“My mother,” I said. “She was diagnosed with breast cancer and was lucky to survive. I didn’t want to tell you because I knew it would bring up bad memories and only make you upset.”

She held up a hand, trying to hold back tears. “I’m glad you told me. Every once in a while, I’ll donate all of the proceeds of one of my concerts to charities who help take care of cancer victims. My goal is to help others before it’s too late. I’ve seen the look on a child’s face that just lost a parent to cancer. It breaks my heart.”

“That was one of the things I found out about you that made me realize you weren’t just a spoiled bitch who only thought of herself,” he mumbled.

She smiled. “Gee, thanks. On a brighter note though, I want you to introduce me to the Carolina Cougars. I need to meet some famous people,” she said with a wink.

“I doubt you have issues with that. Besides, I don’t know if I want you to meet them. You might want one of them over me.
