more than happy to help him fucking shut it.
     
    “No dibs Slater, you know the rules,” Sonny informs sarcastically, like he is talking about a piece of meat and not an actual girl. I don’t think the rules for groupie fucks should apply when they are talking about a girl I use to be in love with.
     
    I angrily clench my fists and my gaze turns to look at Kylie. She must notice my intense stare as she lifts her head and her pretty eyes stare directly into mine. She smiles shyly and gives me a hesitant wave. Sonny, always being a pompous prick, waves back and winks seductively at her. She smirks at him before her eyes quickly dart away, causing Sonny to chuckle softly. Kylie appears to be shy but not many people know she has a wild side hidden underneath her country girl appearance. Once she leaves the room, I turn my furious gaze back to Sonny and Mark.
     
    “If either of you touch her, I will cut your fucking balls off and feed them to you,” I inform sternly. Sonny smirks, finding it amusing that he has sparked a reaction out of me, but Mark swallows harshly before he nods his head.
     
    “Now, do you fucking job and fix my drums,” I instruct angrily before storming towards my dressing room.
     
    I tried to convince myself that I only agreed to Kylie working with Emily to help Emily, but I’m full of fucking shit. I agreed to help Kylie solely to help her. I had thought she was the girl of my dreams and we appeared to have started a good solid relationship. The six months I had with her were some of the best months of my life. Then the day after we left the cabin it was all over. No explanation, no reason, she just vanished. The first week I was fucking panicked out of mind when she didn’t return any of my calls or messages. When we returned from doing the radio tour on the West Coast, I rode five hours straight to her family ranch and even went back to the Bar N Barrel. But everyone was just as clueless as I was about Kylie’s whereabouts. She appeared to have vanished off the face of the earth.
     
    I was that desperate, I lodged a missing person’s report at the local police station. My panic only resided a few days after that when I finally received a text message from her. The instant I read the message my panic turned into anger.
     
    I’m sorry. Please stop looking for me. Kylie
     
    And that was the last time I had heard from her in nearly two years, until she walked back into my life Friday night. Even though I am still angry at her for the way she left, I hated the fact that she couldn’t even afford to pay her hotel bill. Neither Kylie or I had money when we dated, but that didn’t stop us having some of the most adventurous months of our lives. I had hoped she had left me to go on to bigger and better things, but seeing her struggle to pay for her crappy ass hotel room made me realize she hadn’t.
     
    Noah, Marcus, Emily and I had just finished having breakfast at the hotel café. Emily had told me during breakfast how she had offered Kylie a job and was surprised when she turned it down as she appeared so excited when she had first offered it to her. As we were leaving the café, I noticed Kylie at the checkout counter. She was pulling several different cards out of her purse, while her eyes kept darting down to her phone screen. She seemed a little frazzled and upset so I made my way over towards her. It was only when I overheard her requesting for the hotel clerk to put her bill on several different credit cards did I realize that she couldn’t afford to pay the entire amount on one card. I didn’t even hesitate in handing over my card to pay her bill. The band has been making more money than I could ever possibly need, so a small hotel room charge wasn’t going to affect my bank balance.
     
    Kylie was clearly embarrassed when her eyes looked up at me, but they filled with tears when she noticed that Emily, Noah and Marcus had witnessed the whole exchange. She mumbled a thanks before
