“No, that’s okay. I’ve got my car here,” she tells me.
“Don’t be ridiculous, you’ve been drinking. Tank can drop your car off in the morning.”
“What? I don’t want that big bastard driving my car, he’ll burst all four tires just getting in,” she mutters, before seeing the look on my face and reaching into her bag to pull out her keys. She reluctantly hands them over, and I have to pry them from her fingers. “He’ll be careful, right? I worked too many hours to pay for that car.”
“Your car will be fine” I laugh.
I say goodnight to the guys and give Tank specific instructions about Mia’s car before handing him the keys. He raises his eyebrows at Mia and shakes her keys in front of his face, making a show of throwing them in the air and pretending to lose them to get the perfect rise out of her. It’s obvious he has little sisters of his own. I knock him in the arm and head out, but I can’t stop the smile from gracing my face.
I make it home in record time, debating whether or not it would be okay to stop by Dani’s place to make sure she’s alright. On second thought, that might be a little stalkerish.
I show Mia to the spare room and double check that I remembered to change the sheets after Jaxon’s threesome the other week. She gives me a hug goodnight and then proceeds to take over my bathroom.
After leaving her be, I drop down on my bed, unable to get Dani off my mind.
Miller - You keep disappearing on me. Hope you’re okay.
Chapter 13
Danielle
I dance the night away with Sophie and Jared, drinking, partying, and having the time of my life. Things between me and Miller seem to be moving forward, and I can finally feel myself lowering my walls to let him in. After all, he’s been nothing but amazing. Or amaze-balls, as Sophie would put it.
“I’ll get us another drink,” Sophie calls over the music.
I give her a nod because there’s no point trying to project my voice over this sound. I shimmy up against Jared as we dance to Tay Tay, shaking our asses with our hands high in the air. Sophie returns with a bottle of vodka, and we begin taking shots, making our night that much more exciting.
“Get the boys,” Jared smirks, momentarily forgetting that his boyfriend is around here somewhere. “I want to dance up against Tank and Miller like a Dragon sandwich.”
Sophie laughs. “Oh, hell yeah. I want to be a part of that sandwich too.”
“Me too,” I slur, feeling the room start to spin. “I want a Miller sandwich.”
Together, we head for the back door, giggling as the three of us attempt to get through the door frame at the same time and fail miserably. I know without a doubt my shoulder is going to be bruised in the morning, but right now, the only thing that matters to me is getting Miller back in my arms and maybe in my bed.
“Shit,” Jared mutters as he looks out toward the backyard, his body stiffening as his tone drops.
When Sophie gasps, I look up to see what has their attention. “God, I’m going to kick his ass,” she snaps.
My eyes land on Miller and more importantly, the beautiful girl snuggled in on his lap. His hand is curled around her waist as he looks at her with such adoration that it makes me feel like I’m intruding. The way they are with each other, it’s clear they’ve meant something to each other for a long time. Which makes me nothing but a fool.
Fuck me.
My heart sinks. I knew it was too good to be true. It was all a game to him. A game that he has clearly grown bored of.
Sophie grabs me by the hand and pulls me back into the house with Jared following behind. Without a backward glance, we head straight for the front door and leave the Dragons behind. “You okay, babe?” Sophie asks, slipping her hand into mine and holding me close as I feel my world starting to crumble.
“No,” I tell her, feeling empty inside. “I really liked that one.”
“I know,” she sighs, her heart breaking right along with mine.
“I’d kick his ass if it wasn’t so likely he’d snap me like a twig,” Jared says as he pulls me against him.
Words escape me as we make our way home, dragging my feet like the pathetic fool I am. “Well, doing the rest of the assignment is going to be a tad awkward now,” Sophie murmurs as we push our way through the door.
Crap. I didn’t even think about that. I groan as I stumble down the hallway and into my room. I find my pajamas then head into the bathroom and strip out of my clothes for a hot shower. Sophie makes her way into the bathroom and begins brushing her teeth as I step into the hot water. “What are you going to do about your date tomorrow night?” she asks.
