under his breath as I shake my head. He’s probably pissed off that he’s playing babysitter to me while he could be getting into the blonde bimbo’s pants.
    “If she wanted to be with you, she would be, Davis.” I look from one man to the other, feeling the testosterone rolling off their bodies in waves. “But she doesn’t. She’s with me tonight.”
    Before these two men turn me into a human tug-of-war rope, Amanda steps in. “Bowie, back off! Cowboy’s just trying to get her to eat something before she winds up puking all over the place.”
    “What the fuck ever. CB, when you’re ready for a real man, come and find me.” He puffs out his chest at Colby before storming off in the other direction. If I didn’t feel all fuzzy, I’d kiss Amanda for handling that so well.
    “Amanda, take her to the living room and I’ll fix her a plate.” He hands me off to my friend before turning away from us. She leads me to the front room of the house, cursing at anyone who won’t get out of her way. By the time we get through the dining room turned dance floor, I can feel every eye assessing me. Judging me. Mocking me.
    “What the fuck are you doing?” Amanda scolds after kicking someone off the couch so I can sit down. Tossing my arm over my eyes, I groan, wishing I could go back in time a few hours. Being the fun-loving girl is highly overrated. “You’re playing with fire, flirting with other guys when you knew Colby was going to be here.”
    Across the room, I see the blonde from earlier shooting daggers in my direction. Even through my beer goggles, I can see that she is here with a single goal in mind: to find someone to throw her down on a horizontal surface and screw her brains out. That won’t take long, seeing as she’s dumber than a box of rocks. Fueled by more beer than I’ve consumed in any given week before tonight, I lift my hand, wiggling my fingers in her direction. If Colby’s going to be pissed off at me, I might as well give him a reason.
    “Fuck him,” I say defiantly. “I’ve been in love with him for four flipping years, and he’s never once made a move on me. I’ve tried dropping hints, but he’s so busy looking at the bimbos throwing themselves at him that he doesn’t even know I exist. I’m nothing more than one of the guys to him!”
    It’s not until Amanda stiffens next to me that I realize how loud my slurred words are as they fall out of my mouth. My head lolls to the side to see Colby looming over me, his jaw clenched tight. Damn it. That’s it, this is officially the last time I drink!
     

Chapter 4
    Colby
    Handing the plate to Amanda, I turn on my heel to get out of the house. It’s suddenly way too warm in here. I hear Cricket calling out behind me, but I don’t turn around to look at her. Hearing the pain in Lea’s voice when she talked about my flirting doused any desire for any woman here. If I can’t have Lea, I would rather go home alone than hurt her again.
    “Dude, where the fuck did you disappear to?” Robby yells as I walk through the dining room, trying to avoid anyone bumping or grinding into me. I push my way through the crowd, hopping up on one of the barstools along the wall.
    “Just had to get away for a while, sorry.” I grab Robby’s beer, hoping to refresh the buzz I had going on before I saw Lea cuddled up to Bowie.
    “You about ready to man up and talk to her?” Robby asks, swiping the bottle away from me, nodding toward Lea. He’s the only person I’ve been honest with about my feelings. Whether or not he agrees with my reasons for keeping her at a distance, he’s usually pretty good at keeping quiet about it. “Look, I get that you don’t want to fuck up your friendship, but wouldn’t it be better to hook up with someone who gives a shit than these whores who want a night or two before another shiny cock comes along?”
    Leave it to Robby to call it exactly like it is. His crude comments cause me to spit beer all over a couple who
