Chapter 9

Chantel woke as the car stopped. She’d been out. Dead asleep.

JJ turned to her. “Hey there, sleepyhead, we’re in Amarillo. Are you hungry?”

She shook off the cobwebs of sleep and glanced at the clock on the dash. It was eight o’clock. “I can’t believe I slept that long.”

He grinned, then lightly touched his lip. “Might want to clean up that bit of drool there.”

Unwillingly, she laughed, hitting his shoulder lightly.

He caught her hand. “I know you just can’t keep your hands off me, but you’re going to have to use your words instead of your fists, because we have an agreement.”

She rolled her eyes, pulling her seat to an upright position.

JJ got out of the car. “I’m going to run and check us in. Be back soon.”

Outside, he stretched for a second, and she couldn’t stop herself from checking pretty much every developed muscle in his arms. He caught her staring and winked.

“Dang him,” she muttered. Her thoughts went to Tonya and his recent decision to end things so suddenly. She wanted to know about their relationship.

Fifteen minutes later, Chantel stared at the two queen beds, unsettled about sharing a room with him. “So there really aren’t two rooms?”

He stepped out of the bathroom, where he’d been freshening up. “There’s a big convention in town, so the place is booked.”

She shifted her weight from one foot to the other. She wasn’t sure she could handle being so close to him all night.

With a sad smile, he said, “I actually had to use some star power to get us this room.”

She gave him a mocking look. “And you just hate it when you’re recognized for your amazing voice.”

He laughed. “I do.”

A sudden wave of nausea left her lightheaded. She sat on the bed. “Shoot.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I don’t know.” She held her stomach. “My blood sugar, probably.”

“What’s wrong with your blood sugar?” he demanded. He reached for her hands, holding them in his and kneeling in front of her.

“I’m fine. I just get low blood sugar when I don’t eat consistently, and I only had Ho Hos in the car.” Her heart raced as she saw true concern in his eyes. She stared at their hands, thinking of all the times she’d held his when they were sitting in the tree house together. It had just been a normal part of her life when she was young.

“Are you okay?”

She let his hands go, and with them, the feeling of being young again. “I’m fine. Let’s go eat, but not a steak place.”

His eyebrows lifted. “Why not?”

She laughed, teasing him. He’d always liked steak places. She grabbed her purse and headed for the door.

Quickly, he reached around her, flinging back the door and holding it for her. They were close enough for her to smell him. Carefully, he reached up, taking one of her loose hairs and gently sweeping it behind her ear.

She batted at him. “Don’t touch my hair.”

“It gets in your way,” he said, smiling.

She turned on her heel. “You’re in my way.
