Without You (Love Wanted in Texas 1)

The phone went dead.

I looked at Grace and busted out into tears. “Oh my God, Grace. Did I do something wrong last night? I don’t remember anything. Grace! What did I do?”

She got up, picked up a pair of jeans, and handed them to me. I pulled them on quickly and grabbed a T-shirt.

“Alex, you didn’t do anything but drink too much. You danced a little too close to Blake, that’s all.”

I stopped moving. “What do you mean, danced a little too close?”

“You were all up on him, and his lips were getting a little too friendly with your neck.”

I felt sick to my stomach. “Did I…did I…”

“You didn’t do anything.”

I let out a breath. “Oh, thank God.”

I made my way to the door and quickly ran to the elevator.

Why would Will leave if he’s right here? He’s mad. He must be so mad at me.

I pushed open the doors and quickly started scanning the area outside. When I saw Will, my heart began pounding in my chest. Smiling, I made my way over to him. When his eyes met mine, I started running. He smiled, and I began crying. I jumped into his arms and wrapped my legs around his waist.

“Oh God. Oh God, I’ve missed you so much!” I cried as I buried my face into his neck.

“Lex, baby, I’ve missed you, too.”

“Please don’t be mad at me. I’m so, so sorry. I swear I’ll never drink like that again. I swear.” I pulled back and searched his eyes. “I love you, Will.”

He reached up and placed his hand behind my neck. He pulled me in for a kiss. I wasn’t sure how long we were kissing for, but it was turning more passionate by the second.

Then, I heard a male clear his throat. I pulled back some and smiled at Will. He smiled back and winked at me as he slowly put me down.

Will turned and looked at someone. “Thanks, Blake.”

Blake? My stomach knotted up as I slowly looked over at Blake.

He smiled at Will. “Sure, no problem. I’ve never seen you here before, and you looked like you were lost.” He glanced over to me. “Good morning, Alex. I heard you had a little too much to drink last night.”

Bastard.

He was playing a game with me, and I wasn’t about to participate.

“You would know, Blake. You were there.”

Will looked between Blake and me with a confused look on his face.

Blake laughed. “Yeah, I was. It was my party after all.” He slapped Will on the back. “It was a pleasure meeting you, Will. Hope to see you around soon. Take care of her. She’s a special girl.”

Wait—what? What in the hell?

Will attempted to smile as he shook Blake’s hand. “Yeah, nice meeting you, too.”

Blake turned and walked away. I quickly looked back at Will.

I grabbed his hand and smiled. “Come on, let me show you our room!”

He chuckled and quickly kissed me on the lips. “Sounds good.”
