seeing them was getting to me.
We were seated at a large table in the center of the place. Amy was sitting next to me, at first, but then Bella had a fit and wanted her to sit with her. After we order our food, I saw a group of people sitting at the bar. I slouched down in my seat when I realized who they were. Three out of the four girls I had slept with. Two of my mudding buddies were standing around behind them with beers in their hands. I needed to change seats so they couldn't see me.
It was too late. From across the room, I heard my name being called out. When I looked up I saw my friends approaching the table. Matt reached out his hand. "Long time no see, dude. When did you get back?"
"I'm here visitin’ with family."
Parker patted me on the shoulder. "It's good to see you, man."
"You too."
Amber, a blonde with hair down to her ass, pushed her way through the two guys. She wrapped her arms around me and pulled me in for a hug. "Why didn't you call me when you got back? We need to hang out. Shelby is having a party at her daddy's barn. You should come by. It's goin' to be so much fun."
I knew Amy was watching and because she knew me so well, I also knew that she was probably figuring that I’d been with this chick. Amber had always been a good time. On her inner thigh she had a tattoo that said 'the fun starts here'. She wasn't exactly quiet about being adventurous and always lived up to the hype too.
"Yeah, I can't this time."
"Oh, please change your mind. You know it would be just like old times."
I heard a fork drop loudly on the table and turned around to see my sister standing up. "Hey Amber, have you met my brother's girlfriend Amy? We're here celebrating the fact that he's goin' to be a daddy. He left town and fell in love. Ain't that great?"
My sister hated Amber and her herd of bitchy friends. I knew what she was doing. This wasn't really for me or Amy, it was for her own personal amusement. Still, Amber looked from me then over to Amy. She cocked her eyebrow and turned her attention back to me. "Well, you know where to find us if you change your mind. We all know how fickle you can be."
They walked away, but the damage was done. I was afraid to even turn around.
Chapter 9
Amy
This trip wasn't going the way I wanted it to. Conner was being distant and I felt like he was pushing me away. Then we go out to have a nice dinner and this group of his apparent friends come up and invite him out. It was like he had forgotten about me sitting there at the table for a second. The way she put her hands around the back of him made me crazy mad. If it wasn't for Miranda, I may have made a fool out of myself over it. I needed to calm down. He was in his hometown. He was going to run into people he knew. Although, I couldn't help but wonder if he had history with the girl.
I felt my blood boiling at the way she reacted when Miranda announced who I was and that we were expecting. My stomach started to feel upset, so I stood up to head to the restroom. Conner came up behind me and spun me around, just before I reached the ladies room door. "Blaze, it ain't like you're thinkin'."
"Guilty conscious?"
He scrunched up his face. "I would have introduced you myself."
I cocked my eyebrow and felt myself getting defensive. "Are you sure about that? I didn't even see you look back at me until your sister spoke up. Maybe you don't want any of your friends knowing you have me back at home."
He pressed me against the paneled wall. "Don't say that. It ain't true and you know it. You know what's important to me."
"Do I? Maybe you should have left me home so you could hang out with your old friends. Is that what you call it here? Is it called hanging out, or hooking up?" His eyes got huge. When he turned around to calm down, I slipped into the bathroom. Knowing he was probably coming in, I locked myself in a stall and started to cry. I hated being over-emotional. I wasn't the type of person
