Loving You (Love Wanted in Texas 6)

I couldn’t help but notice how she was looking at Jill with a disgusted look. “Let’s just say she has a way of trying to make something seem like it is something it isn’t.”

Swiveling around to look at me, she smiled and said, “I think I’ll go find my fiancé before he finds trouble. See ya later.”

“See ya,” I said as I made my way over to Jase. Jill kept laughing and putting her hand on his stomach. Anger began to build in my veins. When he took a step away from her, my body relaxed a bit.

Here I thought Rick was going to be the problem and it was Jill.

“Hey,” I said as I kissed Jase on the cheek.

“Hey, sweetness. Having fun?”

His eyes were blurred and I knew he had probably had more to drink then he should. I knew in college Jase would let loose and drink. I’d seen him a few times at parties. But why he was doing it now, I was unsure. Maybe because he was with his friends and that’s what they did? All I knew was I wasn’t pleased he was getting drunk.

“Maybe you should slow down on the beer,” I said with a grin.

Jase held up the beer bottle and looked at it. “Jesus Christ, lay off of him. It’s not like you’re married to him. If he wants to drink let him drink.”

I curled my lip and peered at Jill. “Maybe you’ve had too many as well or do you make it a habit to hang on men who are taken.”

“Oh shit,” Jase mumbled. “You know what, you’re right, Tay. I’ve had too much to drink. Let’s head to the cabin. My head is pounding.”

I didn’t even bother to look back at the little bitch this time. I was seething mad. “Which cabin is ours?” I asked.

“Ten. I’m not feeling so great.”

“Wonder why? Oh wait, it’s probably the twelve pack of beer you drank.”

“Fuck, my head is killing me.”

Making my way up the steps to the cabin, I opened the door and turned on the light. It was cuter than I thought it would be. “It’s cute in here.”

Jase pushed past me and ran into the bathroom.

When he started throwing up, I rushed in there. Grabbing a wash cloth, I ran it under hot water and handed it to him. “Did you drink anything else besides beer?”

He slowly nodded. “Rick gave me a couple shots. I should have known better. I haven’t had a thing to eat all day since breakfast.”

Not wanting to nag him about it, I rewet the washcloth. “How’s your head?”

He stood and stumbled. “Shit, I’m more drunk than I thought.”

Wrapping my arm around his waist, I led him out of the bathroom and over to the bed where he collapsed.

“Fuuuck. My head.”

Sighing, I closed my eyes. He was only going to get worse unless I had something to give to him.

“Jase? Baby, I’m going to take your truck and run to HEB. Get some water and Advil. Do you want anything else?”

“Hamburger. I want a hamburger.”

Smiling, I kissed him on the cheek. “I’ll grab one on my way back to the cabin from the pit.”

He mumbled something about my sexy ass and telling Rick off. I guess that explained why Rick had stayed away from me for the last few hours.

“I need your keys, Jase.”

He flipped over on the bed and spread his legs open and gave me that crooked smile of his. “They’re in my p-pocket . . . you needs to reach in there and get ‘em.”
