Chapter Nine

I sat at my desk
staring at the photo of Alex and I, looking so silly and happy. It was taken
moments before our time together ended. A whole month had gone by since we last
saw each other, and it was still another month until I visited him in Texas.
The time couldn't go by quickly enough.

I put my phone
away before my boss caught me. He had a tendency to sneak up behind me when I
was least expecting it. It made surfing the internet or doing any personal
business too stressful. It was definitely an effective strategy to keep his
employees honest.
Jackass that he was
.

About to catch up
on some mundane office work, I smiled when Melissa popped into my cubicle. We
worked on a few projects together, so we could pass some time chit-chatting while
looking legitimately busy.

"Hey,
Melissa. How's it going?" She looked as stunning as usual.

She smiled
brightly, "Guess who I got a text from?"

With Melissa, you
never knew. "Um, the guy from accounting?"

Her smile faded.
"What? No!" She brushed aside my lame attempt at a joke.
"Tommy!"

Now she had my
attention. "Tommy from Cold Fusion? I didn't know you two kept in
touch."

"Well, not
really. But he said that Alex is in bad shape."

My heart started
racing. "What do you mean, bad shape?"

"Apparently,
he hasn't been with other girls, and the band is all incredulous about this -
they act like its impossible." Melissa rolled her eyes. "Anyway, he's
been miserable without you."

My initial scare
that something was wrong turned to annoyance. "So, he's miserable that
he's not fucking other girls?"

"No."
Melissa looked sympathetic. "I think he's just miserable without you. That
was just Tommy's dumb way of saying it."

I sighed.
"Yeah, I should be relieved to hear he hasn't been with other women. You
saw what their lives were like - all the partying and hot women throwing
themselves at them night after night. I'm not sure what he even wants with
boring me."

Melissa shook her
head. "Honey, he doesn't want those other women. He wants to be with you.
But 8 weeks is a long time to make a man wait for you. Especially a man in his
situation. You need to get over there and remind him why he loves you so
much."

I bit my lip.
"The non-stop touring makes it so complicated. I try to give him a little
distance. Like not calling or texting him every free minute I have. But I feel
like we're drifting apart again."

"Evie, if you
want your relationship to work with Alex, you're going to have to fight for it.
Tommy told me that they have an overnight stay at a hotel in Ohio next week. He
said that 'Alex's dick is gonna fall off if you don't get over there.'"

She always made me
laugh. "He really said that?"

She held up her
cell phone. "I've got the text to prove it. Anyway, I can get all the
details from Tommy and then you can go out to Ohio and surprise Alex."

I was already
aflutter with anticipation. "Tommy really came up with all this?"

"He's
actually really sweet under all that dumb rock-star routine. I'm quite
impressed myself." Melissa laughed as if she suddenly realized it.

When Melissa got
the information from Tommy, I began to get nervous. Eight days couldn't come
soon enough. Because of an important work meeting, I wouldn't be able to get to
Ohio and see the band perform. I was disappointed, but I would be able to spend
the night with Alex and stay the entire next day.

I made my travel
arrangements, booking flights and a rental car, and pampered myself. I went to
the salon to get my hair highlighted, got a waxing, a French manicure and I
went shopping to pick out some super naughty lingerie.

My anticipation
grew to bursting, as the time grew closer. I had trouble not blurting out my
secret to Alex when we managed to talk on the phone. We mostly talked about
seeing each other in Texas and what we wanted to do there. Alex joked that he
was going to buy a video camera before then. My heart would race just imagining
it.

The day I was to
leave for Ohio, I could barely concentrate on the people who were speaking at
my work meeting. I wasn't even nervous about the 20-minute presentation I had
to give; I just wanted to get it done.

Melissa stopped me
in the hall after my meeting. "I told Tommy what time you were getting to
the hotel tonight. He said that you should just give the front desk your name
and they would give you a key to Alex's room."

I nodded and she
continued, "Tommy is going to make sure Alex goes to his hotel room at a
decent time after the show. So, are you ready for all this, girlfriend?"

I gave Melissa a
hug. "I can't thank you enough for this, Melissa. For setting this up and
for keeping me from screwing everything up with my insecurities. Are you sure
you don't want to come with me?"

"No way,
honey. This is all you. Just make sure you come back and give me all the juicy
details."

I waved good-bye
as I headed to my cubicle to pack up for the day. I needed to get to the
airport to catch my flight. I turned on my phone and texted to Alex -
Have a
great show tonight. Miss you.
I pulled up the picture of us and smiled. Tonight
I would be in his arms again.

Chapter Ten

Tommy had one eye
on the delectable ass in the tiny black shorts lying in front of him on his
lap, but he couldn't help but be distracted by Alex, of all things. He tapped
on the girl's luscious ass, always on the look out for the perfect ass to drum.

Fooling around one
night with a girl, he had used his drumsticks on her ass as she was recovering
from their recent romp. He was surprised at how turned on she got. She was
moaning in an agony of pleasure as he tapped her ass with the sticks harder and
harder, leaving little angry red marks all across her smooth skin.

It had led to an
amazing night of mind blowing sex. So naturally he had tried it again with
another girl. And he was just as surprised to see how well it worked. Now he
had become obsessed with finding the perfect ass to drum on.

But tonight, he
had to get Alex to the hotel room. Alex had started downing alcohol as soon as
the show was over, as he had been doing more and more lately. A few more drinks
and Alex would be a fucking mess. And Lena, or more likely, Melissa would kill
him.
The fucking thanks he got for trying to do something nice.
He watched
Alex down another drink.

The girl's ass
wiggled on his lap. He began tapping it again wondering if Melissa's perfect
ass would writhe under his talented drumming. He remembered it perfectly in her
tiny bikini that day on the beach and later on during their hot sex sessions.
Too bad she was so far away. He wasn't about to get all caught up like Alex was.
Fuck that shit.

He glanced over at
Alex. Cassie was rubbing up against him and he was downing another fucking
drink.
Jesus.

Standing up
quickly, he felt the girl he forgot about again, roll off his lap. "Sorry,
babe."

Tommy walked over
to Alex. "Don't you think you should slow down?"

"What are
you, my fucking counselor, Tommy?" Alex was in rare form.

Withholding a crude
reply, Tommy said, "Just take it easy, man. Maybe you shouldn't go out
tonight - just head over to the hotel and chill."

Alex looked disgusted.
"Maybe you should just mind your own fucking business."

Shit. Why do I
bother with this asshole?

He walked back to
the couch, sat down and grabbed his smoke from the ashtray. He took a quick
drag wondering what to do about Alex.

Cassie came over
and sat next to him, looking as pissed as he was feeling. He turned to her. "What's
wrong? Did Alex turn you down again?"

She gave him a
dirty look. "Fuck you, Tommy. It looked like he turned you down too.
What's wrong with him anyway? He used to be so much fun."

Tommy looked
around for his beer. "He still has it bad for that girl in New
Jersey."

Cassie looked even
more annoyed. "I could make him forget all about her."

Tommy took another
drag of his smoke. "Not tonight you won't. I've got a surprise for him if
he doesn't fuck it all up by getting loaded."

Tommy's cell phone
buzzed on the table. He glanced at the text message.

Melissa: Lena will
be there by midnight. Make sure Alex gets to the hotel room right after

He wasn't sure
Alex was going to do a damn thing he said. He glanced over and spotted Alex
doing a shot with a roadie. Sighing, he got up from the couch to do damage
control.

An hour later,
Alex was stumbling drunk and Tommy's patience was about worn thin. He had spent
the whole time babysitting Alex, trying to subtly stop him from drinking too
much and steer him towards the idea of going back to the hotel.

Finally, he
thought he had convinced Alex. Probably because he was too drunk to protest.
Lena might not be too happy about that, but Tommy was beyond caring anymore.
His night had been seriously hampered already.

Tommy rounded up
the girl with the pretty ass and found Alex. He figured if he had to physically
bring Alex to the hotel, because he wasn't sure Alex wouldn't fuck it up on his
own, at least he could enjoy himself. He still had hours ahead of him and he
could have a lot more fun with a girl in a hotel room than he usually did on
the bus or in some back corner.

He actually walked
Alex to his room and was only satisfied when he saw him stagger into the room
and collapse on the bed. His work was done. Lena could deal with the asshole
now.

––––––––

★★★

I stepped into the
hotel lobby, wheeling my small suitcase behind me. Butterflies danced in my
stomach as I thought about surprising Alex. The flight had landed on time and I
had made good time from the airport to the hotel. It was just after midnight.
If Tommy did his job correctly, I would have enough time to get into the room
and change into some sexy lingerie. A jolt of desire shot through my body,
making me tremble with anticipation.

Scanning the
lobby, I spotted the check-in area. I approached the friendly looking woman.
"Hi, my name is Lena Woods. I think you have a room key waiting for
me?"

The woman smiled
warmly and then typed into her computer. "Hmm. Let's see. It says here
that you already picked up the key."

I shook my head.
"No, I just got here."

Her brow creased
as she typed again into the computer. "This is for Mr. Lavigne's
room?"

I felt myself
blushing furiously. "Um, yes. That's correct."

She looked at me.
"Well, that's strange. I hate to ask, but can I see some identification.
The hotel takes the bands privacy very seriously."

"Oh, yeah.
Sure." I dug through my purse and found my wallet. I handed her my
driver's license.

She studied it for
a few moments. "Everything seems to be in order, Ms. Woods. I know the
band manager personally requested this, so I'll just issue you another key.
There must be some mistake in the computer. I'm sorry, Ms. Woods."

I nodded my head.
I was just anxious to get this over with and get up to Alex's room before he
got there. "No problem. I'm sure the band appreciates your
thoroughness."

Finally, she
handed me the keycard. "Suite 618. Have a nice night."

I smiled my thanks
and headed toward the elevators. 'Nice' wasn't the word I had in mind.

My stomach was
fluttering with nerves as I rode the elevator upwards. I remembered the
elevator ride I had taken with Alex over a month ago. It had ended in a night
of pure bliss. My pussy was clenching with anticipation just remembering.
My
God, I was going to cream my panties before I even got to Alex's room.

I headed down the
long hall; his room was at the very end. By the time I reached the door my body
was tingling with nerves. I let myself in with the key and flipped on the
light. I wheeled my case through the living room and headed for the bedroom.

The bedroom door
was cracked. I pushed open the door just as I felt something underfoot. I
looked down to see what I had stepped on. And froze. It was a red silky bra. I
felt my hands start shaking as I let the suitcase topple. I stared at the
frilly bra as my mind scrabbled to find reasons that it could be there. But I
think my heart already knew.

My stomach began
to churn as I stepped into the bedroom and looked at the bed. It was occupied.
My head was spinning in horror as my eyes focused on Alex sleeping next to a
blonde woman. I stared in disbelief at the agonizing scene before me as my
blood ran cold with shock. The woman's hand was resting against the tattoo on
Alex's shoulder. The sheet that only half-covered them revealed their intimate
position and their lack of clothing. There was no misinterpreting what I saw.

I fought to draw
air into my lungs as I felt the sharp ache of betrayal piercing my heart.
Oh,
I had been such a fool. So naïve.
My dreams, my fantasies were all
pulverized before me in one harsh moment of shocking discovery. I choked down
the sob that threatened to bubble up out of my throat. I hadn't been able to
contain my eager anticipation when I had entered the hotel room. Now, I would exit
a crushed and battered soul.

I backed away, not
able to bear the sight any longer. Blood was ringing in my ears as I stumbled
out of the suite.
Alex had cheated on me. With Cassie
.

Working on only
pure instincts, I managed to make it back to the rental car. I started driving.
I drove east for hours. My brain was numb, probably with sheer shock. Somehow I
drove the entire night through, even after working the full day before. I got
home before nine in the morning and then stumbled up to my bed. I slept for
hours, but could only delay my heartbreak for so long. When it hit, it hit
hard. Nothing could stop the wracking sobs shaking my body.

I was in pretty
bad shape when I heard the knock on my bedroom door. "Go away, Jen. I'm
not in the mood."

"Evie, it's
me Melissa. I was so worried about you! What's going on?"

I groaned as I got
up to unlock the door.

Melissa took one
look at me. "Oh God! What happened?"

I shook my head,
holding back tears, not trusting myself to speak.

She sat on my bed
with me. "Tommy texted me this morning and said you never showed up last
night. I've been calling and texting you all day. It's a good thing your
roommate came home and let me in, I was about to call the cops."

I smiled weakly.
That's the last thing I needed - the cops breaking down my door.

Melissa grabbed my
hand. "Did you go to Ohio? I saw a rental car with Ohio plates parked down
there."

I nodded and took
a deep shaky breath. "Oh, Melissa, I walked in on him fucking another
girl." My voice broke and my body started shuddering with sobs. How I had
more tears to cry, I didn't know.

Melissa's face
told me all I needed to know. It was over. There was no salvaging this
relationship from the depths. As much as I wanted to ignore it, it wouldn't go
away. I may have just spent hours secretly trying to justify Alex's behavior to
myself, but there was no way to rationalize out of this one. My dreams of being
with Alex were over. The realization and the finality of it all shook my body
to the core.
