falling out of my shirt for the whole place to see. I had more class than that. I was a respectable girl, and I was going to act like it.
There was no way in hell I was going to let some miscreants scare me, nor was I going to care about what they thought. So, I stood tall and strutted my way back to the front of the building, ignoring all the eyes that followed me as I went. The door was in my sight, and I focused on it. I pushed the chain of my bag more securely onto my arm and continued on.
The place smelled of cheap booze and whores. I needed a shower to rid myself of the filth I was currently surrounded with. The further away I got from Cash, the more disgusted I was becoming. I picked up pace, and was feet from the door, when a guy stepped in front of me.
“Whoa there, beautiful. Where are you off to in such a hurry?” His hand landed on my shoulder, and I shook it off. He had a jagged scar across his cheek that added to his frightening character.
“I shouldn’t be here,” I said, but didn’t feel the need to explain myself further. I doubt he even cared anyway. The desire to leave only grew as I feared Cash would come walking out with those girls on his arms, laughing at me. There was a lot I could handle, like holding my head high and leaving with my dignity, but, seeing Cash with those girls, that I couldn’t deal with.
The guy took a comb out of his back pocket and ran it through his hair. I wanted to tell him that 1955 had called and they wanted their signature move back, but the last thing I wanted to do was piss this guy off.
“I’m guessing you were the distraction,” he said as he put his comb back in his pocket.
“I beg your pardon?” I quipped.
“Why don’t you let me get you a drink?”
“Unless you have something that doesn’t come out of a can, no thank you,” I spat finally finding my voice. “Now if you’ll excuse me.” I stepped around the man and as soon as I did, I heard him. My body froze at the deep silky voice.
Despite myself, I turned. Cash walked toward us, pulling up the zipper of his jeans, and then swiping a hand across the side of his mouth.
Repulsed, I took a step back. He could have at least had the decency to clean up before coming after me.
“Thanks for keeping an eye on my girl,” Cash said, and went to put his arm around me, but I ducked out of it.
“He didn’t, and I am most definitely not your girl. You made that abundantly clear back there.” I pointed toward the back room, and the two girls stepped out into the hall. Unable to even look in their direction, I turned on my kitten heel, pushed past Comb Boy, and took off toward the door.
Cash’s strong hand gripped my arm, and yanked me to him. My hands splayed across his hard chest, and I shoved off. “Don’t!” I screamed, and swatted at his hand on my wrist. “Don’t touch me after you touched them!” I glanced over his shoulder to see the two girls, leaning against the wall and snickering.
“Come on, baby, you’re overreacting. I didn’t even know you were coming.”
“Somebody was coming alright,” someone said with a snicker, which only fueled my raging anger.
“Shut the fuck up,” Cash said and, when he turned toward the person, I ran out the door into the parking lot.
Now that the shock had worn off, I was appalled at the whole situation. Pissed at myself for thinking I actually had a chance with someone like Cash. Angry that he couldn’t even wait a full week before he stuck his manhood into someone else. Embarrassed that I thought we actually had some sort of connection. I was a fool. A fool who thought a one-night stand meant more than what it was. This was exactly why I didn’t casually hook up. I didn’t know how to navigate the situation. I didn’t know how to let it go. Let him go…
“Sunshine!” Cash shouted after me, but I didn’t look back. He was behind me, where he belonged. It was time for me to move forward, and forget about the hot biker who turned
