Chapter Nineteen

Andy

One of the worst things about being drunk, I thought, is that sometimes you forget stuff. Like, I was sure I was supposed to be mad at Chance for something when he helped me into his truck, but I’d forgotten what.

As soon as we pulled out of the parking lot, I remembered.

I looked over at him. He glanced sideways at me and smiled. No stupid smiles. No stupid charm. It won’t work on me. I frowned at him. “Why am I in your truck?”

He smiled at me again. “I’m taking you home.”

Stupid smile. “I didn’t want you to take me home.”

He laughed. “Yes, you did.”

“Did not.”

“Did too.”

I wanted to argue, but I wasn’t completely sure what we were arguing about. Another bad thing about being drunk is that sometimes you get confused and stupid.

God, I’m hot and I feel sorta queasy, I thought as I rolled down the truck window. I needed air. I rested my head on the door against the open window so I could feel the cool air against my face.

“What are you doing?” Chance asked.

“I need air.”

“It’s thirty-five degrees.” He smiled again. Stupid smile. “Do you feel sick?”

I frowned. “No,” I lied.

“Then why do you need air?”

“Because I’m breaking up with you.” Did I really say that? We pulled into a parking spot in the front of my building.

Chance put the truck in park and reached over and touched my cheek. As he ran his thumb across the stubble along my jawline, he smiled. Stupid smile. “You’re not breaking up with me, monkey.”

Admittedly, I was confused and still drunk, but I was pretty sure I was supposed to break up with him. I didn’t want to break up with him. But I had to break up with him. But I didn’t want to. He leaned over and kissed my forehead. “You’re not breaking up with me,” he said again.

“Well, maybe not tonight. But I will. Later. Tomorrow.” What am I saying?

He shook his head and laughed. “Why not tonight?”

“Because I want to snuggle. And maybe fuck you or let you fuck me. I haven’t decided.” Oh god, did I just say that out loud?

A wide grin spread across his face. Stupid smile. He leaned over and kissed my cheek. “You’re not breaking up with me, monkey.”

I shook my head and wondered why I kept saying stupid stuff out loud. “Truth serum.”

“Huh?” Chance looked at me. Damn, I did it again.

“Maybe it’s the vodka, or the lemon juice, or that sugar they put around the rim of the glass.”

Chance laughed. “Monkey, what are you talking about?” I wasn’t sure why he didn’t understand. I thought I was making perfect sense.

I shook my head in frustration, determined I wouldn’t say anything else—especially something stupid. It could get worse, I thought. I could tell him I’m in love with him or something really stupid like that. Chance was helping me out of his truck. Again, I was little confused, because I remembered him sitting next to me inside the truck and there he was outside the truck.
