Chapter Eleven

Henley

“So, how much of a hand did you have in that?” Davis asks, dragging me away from the scene of the world’s worst bachelor party.

I hold up my palms. “I had no idea what Kasha ordered.”

“That would be a little more convincing if you could wipe that grin off your face.”

“Probably not going to happen. The look on Anderson’s face when that vibrator was coming for him.” My sides ache as I crack up again. “Yama! Yama! I should get him a T-shirt made.”

Davis chuckles, shaking his head. “I knew crazy Henley was still in there somewhere.” He slings an arm around my shoulders, leading me toward the house. “Since you and your friends sabotaged the bachelor party, it’s your responsibility to keep me entertained tonight.”

I’ll entertain the fuck out of him. “What did you have in mind?”

“Let me take you on a date.”

A pang shoots through me like a hot dart at the realization we only have a couple of days left together before we head our separate ways again. I know the only reason I let myself get involved with him was because it would be temporary, but now it seems a little too temporary. It’s stupid to be upset about it. It could never be anything more even without the years and miles between us. I could never trust him not to run off on me again.

Two days. We may as well have as much fun as we can. “Ice cream and Skee Ball?” I suggest, remembering the arcade we saw in town.

“If that’s what you’d like to do,” he laughs, his dark eyes sparkling.

We make a pit stop at Davis’s room so he can grab his wallet, then we’re off.

What I dubbed an arcade is actually a family fun center complete with laser tag, mini golf, an array of inflatable bounce houses, and a pizza parlor, in addition to the arcade of games. “What would you like to do first?” he asks.

“I could kick your ass at laser tag,” I boast, and he grins.

“Oh, sweetheart, I almost feel sorry for how badly I’m going to beat you.” He pays and we get strapped into vests.

While a young man fiddles with his vest, letting out the straps to fit over his wide chest, I can’t resist taking a quick shot. A piercing sound rings out and the vest lights up. The guy turns to give me an exasperated look, and Davis shakes his head, grinning. “Sorry, didn’t realize the safety was off.”

“There’s no safety,” the guy growls.

“Oh, guess it wasn’t my fault then.”

A group of guys are going in with us, and we’re divided into teams by the color of our vests. Davis is on the yellow team while I’m on the red. “All right, boys, help me teach this guy a lesson,” I say, nodding to Davis.

“Sorry, baby, but I’m going to have to wipe the floor with you,” Davis taunts.

“No firing until the buzzer sounds,” the man in charge warns, shooting me a look. Geez, one little shot; you’d think I used a real bullet.
