Faithful (Wanted 3)

“I want you so much, baby,” I whispered to her.

“Yes,” she whispered. “I want you, too, Josh. I need you so much. ”

“Josh? Heather?”

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me! That’s twice today. ” I leaned my forehead against hers.

When she giggled, my heart melted.

“Meet me downstairs at midnight, okay?” I said as I looked into her eyes.

She gave me the biggest smile ever and I felt my legs wobble.

“Are we sneaking out tonight, Mr. Hayes?” she asked.

“Fuck yeah, we are, Ms. Lambert!”

She threw her head back and started laughing. When I glanced up, I saw my mother walking toward us, and she looked pissed.

“Hey, Mom. What’s with the sour look?” I grabbed Heather’s hand and started toward my mom.

Just then, I saw Victoria walking toward us with a big grin. Fuck me. Her smile faltered just a little when she looked down at my hand holding Heather’s. I didn’t mean to, but I tightened my hold on Heather.

“Look who dropped by for a visit,” Mom said with sarcasm in her voice.

Victoria walked right up to me and kissed me on the cheek. “Oh, hey, Heather. How are you?”

“I’m just fine, Victoria,” Heather said.

I glanced over at my mother as she winked at Heather.

“What brings you by?” I asked.

I could feel Heather trying to pull her hand out of mine. No way, girl. This is the most contact I’ve had with you since I woke up in this nightmare. I glanced at her as I brought her hand up to mouth. When I kissed it, a flush spread across her cheeks, and it nearly sent me down to my knees. Knowing that I could make her feel this way did crazy things to me.

I let my eyes travel down her body. Fuck, she has a nice body. I need to make her mine again. When my gaze moved back up, I stopped to stare at her eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes just made me want to get lost in them for hours.

“Josh? Josh! Hello? Earth to Josh!” Victoria said as she snapped her fingers in my face.

Slowly, I pulled my eyes away from Heather to look at Tori. “What did you say?”

Victoria glared at Heather like she wanted to stomp on her. “I thought we could maybe go out to dinner, but I see you have a friend over. ”

Now, it was Heather’s turn to squeeze the shit out of my hand.

“Yeah, I don’t think so, not tonight. Heather and I have plans with my parents for dinner. Next time, it might be a better idea if you called ahead before you drove all the way over here. ”

As Victoria looked my body up and down, I remembered the kiss. When I’d kissed her in the elevator in the hospital, she’d felt me up with her hand. I instantly dropped Heather’s hand before I started to walk into the house.

Oh my god. I cheated on Heather. I felt sick. I needed to get away from both of them. I knew it. I knew I would fuck this up.

“Josh?” Heather called out to me.

Then, I felt someone grab my arm, and I turned to see Victoria. “What?” I snapped at her.

She took a step back. “Your face went white as a ghost. Are you feeling okay, Josh?” she asked, looking concerned.

I ran my hand through my hair and then down my face. “Yeah, I’m fine. I just want to fucking remember my life. Hey, are you still coming to see the Matt Kimbrow Band at the Luckenbach dance hall on Saturday night?”
