Eloise

I’ve never had a solid group of girlfriends. Maybe it’s that I’ve spent so many years in a band with all guys, but female friendships have been few and far between. Something Merry and Cassie seem intent on changing as they force me to tag along with them.

At least they’re amusing to be around. Even if they’re close, they’re very different people, which makes for some entertaining hang-outs. So when Cassie suggests a girls’ spa day in my suite before our final show in Phoenix, Merry’s frown wasn’t surprising, seeing as she’s been vocal about the fact that she’d rather hit up a tattoo parlor.

“Where’s Adrian?” Merry looks across the suite to Adrian’s room.

Through the door, I can see his bed perfectly made and not a thing out of place. He’s the tidiest man I’ve ever met, and over half a decade out of the military hasn’t made him sloppy.

“If I had to guess, making himself scarce.”

Cassie holds a hand on her hip. “Smart man.”

Merry smiles at her and drops down onto the couch. “All right, what is this shit you think you’re going to put on my face.”

“Gold-flecked exfoliator mask,” Cassie says smiling. “Quinn swears by it.”

Cassie hands one to me and one to Merry, who frowns.

“What is it with you two and all this pink shit?” Merry cocks an eyebrow, looking at the bubble gum pink packaging.

Cassie tosses her hair over her shoulder. “Don’t knock it ‘til you try it.”

Merry snorts a laugh but opens the package, humoring Cassie.

If they hadn’t become friends in college, I’m not sure they ever would have, given their different personalities and interests. But the closeness they built during that time is palpable. Enough to make me want their kind of friendship in my own life.

“You better get used to all this girly shit, future Mrs. Hayes.” Cassie winks at Merry.

“First of all, I haven’t decided if I’ll be taking Noah’s last name.” Merry leans forward and rolls her eyes. “My name is perfectly fine as is. And second, who says my wedding will have any of this girly shit. If I had it my way we’d run off to the nearest courthouse and just get it over with.”

“Romantic.” Cassie frowns.

“I don’t need romance.” Merry leans back and grins. “Just give me a hot-as-fuck honeymoon, and I’ll be happy.”

Cassie throws her head back in a laugh, and I feel the blood rushing to my cheeks at the thought. The way they’re so open about their sex lives is bad enough considering it involves my brother and a guy who might as well be. But add in the fact that it’s been far too long since I’ve been with a man, has my insides spinning at the thought.

“Speaking of sexual tension.” Merry’s gaze slides in my direction. “Adrian’s been awfully close and protective lately.”

“He’s my manager.”

“Mine too.” Merry’s eyes narrow. “I don’t see him sleeping on my couch.”

“I blame my overprotective brother for that.”

Cassie grins. “Except he’s not the reason why Adrian’s doing it.”

“What are you talking about?”

This is why I avoid getting buddy-buddy with people on tour.
