a
stubborn idiot.
    I couldn’t meet his eyes, not when
it felt like he could see straight through me. Instead, I turned my
attention to her. Of course she would be a tall, leggy, beautiful
blonde that was totally rocking her mini skirt, black halter cut
low to show perfect breasts, and stilettos that I couldn’t even
begin to walk in. I suddenly felt extremely underdressed and was
very aware of every single ounce I’d gained over the winter. She
caught me staring and gave me a smile that could light up any room.
“Hi.” She held out a hand. “I’m…”
    “Well, faahk me!” Tiny shoved
himself between Matty and Legs, staring at me as he dropped a giant
keg on the counter and then lifting me up into his arms. “It’s
about faahking time you came back!” I smiled at his excitement,
hugging him back. At least Tiny was always happy to see me. He let
me go but didn’t release me completely, keeping an arm around me as
he pulled me from the kitchen to the other side of the island,
asking questions about my kids and life in general until Rocker
interrupted him.
    “ L.K., this is Jessie.” Rocker
smiled warmly at the blonde without giving an explanation of who
she was. “Jess, this is L.K., my roommate.” I offered her a small
smile and then gave my full attention to Rob, hoping he’d be able
to rescue me from this awkward moment. As if reading my thoughts,
he moved his hand to the small of my back and leaned in close to my
ear. “We should go change.”
    It was a simple, supportive
gesture, and I sighed in relief. It meant the world to me that he
was trying help. I could hear men talking behind me and the clink
of bottles as they got ready for the party. I knew we needed to get
downstairs before anyone else showed up. I glanced up at Matty,
intending to say goodbye, but the look on his face made my breath
catch. The easygoing smile he’d worn earlier was gone, and he was
clenching his teeth so tightly that the muscles in his jaw were
ticking as he glared at Rocker. I half-expected Rocker to move
away. Instead, he held Matty’s angry stare. For a few uncomfortable
minutes, I watched the two of them have a silent
conversation.
    Finally, Hawk broke the silence.
“Everyone will be heah before w…”
    “He’s right,”
Matty interrupted, looking at me. “We’ll have plenty of time to
catch up in the morning , L.K. ” He practically spit out
my new name.
    Rob moved then, practically
pushing me out of the kitchen and down the stairs in front of him
before I could hear if anyone responded.
    Matty’s never here my ass.

    “Where in the hell am I supposed
to sleep now?” I seethed at Rocker once we were downstairs. “I
can’t stay in Sam’s room either!” There was no telling how thin the
walls were. I knew first hand just how loud Matty was during sex,
and I would not spend the night listening to the two of them. No
fucking way. I fought the tears I knew were coming, pissed at
myself for insisting Matty move on and heartbroken that he had. I
paced the hallway. I needed to leave. There was no way I could face
them in the morning. I knew the train didn’t run this late, but
maybe Teagan would drive down to get me. She wouldn’t get here for
hours, though. I turned back to Rob, desperation filling my voice.
“Will you take me home?”
    He gave me a sympathetic look, but crossed his
tree trunk arms over his thick chest. “You are home, Joey. You
signed the lease and wrote me a check earlier.
Remember?”
    “ Well, tear them both up and we’ll
forget all about this shit show!”
    “ No.”
    “ No?” I was practically screaming,
my voice getting louder with each word, not caring if they heard me
upstairs. “You,” I jammed a finger into his chest above his folded
arms, “told me he was never here. YOU told me he’d never had anyone
else in that room.”
    “ Jesus, you two are frustratin’ as
hell. Don’t you ever talk?”
    “Yes!” I snapped back, suddenly
pissed off at the world. I
