really hard, I try my best
not to react, not to let my emotions get in the way. As I start to
speak, Cash Money takes control, and I can’t thank him enough, or
maybe I can later!
    “Y’all, Char-coal did what
she thought was right. Yeah, it got a little messed up, but
anything involving Douchebag Dylan is goin’ to be jacked up. I’m
just glad we were all there,” he says as he places his hand around
my waist, and I let my head meet his shoulder.
    “Anyways!” Anna says. “Let’s get our
party on! What’s the game plan?”
    “That’s why we came in
here. We wanted to see if y’all wanted to make a night there. I
heard they have some kick ass shrimp and grits!”
    Both Hayden and Anna have a
disgusted look on their face. “Hey, don’t knock it till ya try it!”
I reply. “Y’all wanna be ready to roll around seven?”
    “Hell to the yeah! There
isn’t going to be anything bored there tonight!” Tori
exclaims.
    Hayden starts to laugh, and
we all know where this is going. “I can think of a few things that
might be stiff as a board!” We all shake our heads and go our
separate ways to get ready.
    Once we are back in my
room, I stare at my closet. I have no clue what I want to wear. As
if he’s reading my mind, Cash walks up behind me, grabs a pair of
Rock N Roll Cowgirl jeans that are completely worn in all the right
places and a one-sleeved coral shirt. He pairs it with my new
Ariats.
    “Here ya go,” he says.
“This is what I want to see you in, and I’m all that
matters.”
    Acting like I’m going to
take the clothes from him, I go to grab them, but instead, I push
him onto my bed. It’s time to leave Cash like he’s been leaving me.
I slowly crawl on top of him and kiss his neck and then give a
little nibble on his earlobe. When a low moan escapes his lips, I
know I’m on the right track. He goes to place his hands underneath
my shirt, and I get chills as his tough hands touch my skin. I
realize this might not have been the best idea. I slow my
movements, but Cash has other ideas.
    With his hands on my skin,
he rolls me to where this is now his game… and I like it. We spend
the next twenty minutes exploring each other, but never crossing
the line. If this is that good, I can only imagine what having him
completely will be like.
    We realize we need to get
ready, but we hold each other for as long as we can. I give him a
brief kiss before pulling away to take a quick shower. When I
return, Cash is dressed and ready to go. Hot damn. He’s standing
there in a pair of jeans that hug his ass just right and a worn
pearl snap, and I’m instantly rethinking this going out
idea.
    “See somethin’ ya like?”
    “Maybe?” I smirk as I walk
to my desk, turn on Cole Swindell’s new album and start to put on
my makeup. Cash begins to sing, and when he’s right behind me, he
bends down, sweeps my hair to the side, and places one tender kiss
on my neck. Every nerve in my body is on alert, and chill bumps
react on my skin. “What was that for?”
    “Is that answer still
maybe?” I shrug my shoulders and grin. “Well, let’s just see
later.”
    After I finish getting
ready, we load up the Love Machine and make our way to The Board
Room. Our ride to The Board Room is nothing out of the ordinary.
Hayden is her crazy self. We laugh and enjoy being back together.
We don’t talk about what happened that night, and I’m glad. I’m
ready for some good food with great friends and dancing with the
man of my dreams.

Chapter 14
    We arrive downtown on two wheels, giggling, and
starting the night off right. What’s even better is that there has
been little alcohol consumed by anyone, and we are still our crazy
selves.
    Cash guides me out of the
Love Machine and takes my hand as we walk up the street to The
Board Room. When we enter, the smell of Southern comfort food
tickles my nose. The lighting is dim, and people stare at us as we
walk inside.
    “Um…y’all, is this place
supposed to be fancy or
