partner."
    "Aiden, what do you do?"
    "We own a security team."
    "Shit.  Stop the truck."  Macy slams on the brakes and we all look out the windshield for what could possibly have her screaming.
    "Let me out.  Let me out, please."  Brie starts to push on my chest and I swear if I didn't open the door to get out myself, she would've climbed over me.  
    "Shit woman.  What's wrong."  She starts pacing in the grass and I'm waiting for this damn emergency that has her practically hyperventilating.
    "Tell me they don't call you Cowboy."  What is she talking about?
    "What?"
    "Tell me your friend Holden doesn't call you Cowboy.  Shit, I'm so fucking stupid."
    "Yeah.  They all call me that, why?"
    "Because I lied about my name when I first met you.  I'm Kimber.  I'm staying in that damn cabin just down this road right here.  The road you're on going to check on 'something' Aiden.  Tell me it's not Holden's friend you're headed to check on."
    "Shit."
    "Damn it.  I never lie.  You were some stranger I just met and I'm just trying to start a new life for myself, then you come up with that fucking smile and swagger and then I lied about my name.  If I would've just said what my name is right then and there, you would've known right away, but nooooo, I name myself fucking cheese.  Cheese, Aiden.  I name myself cheese and have a great fucking time with a stranger that made me forget the shit I'm trying to move on from.  I didn't think one fucking time about my real life.  I just enjoyed you.  I enjoyed being free from the weight of all the bullshit.  Fuck."  She starts to pace faster and I just lean up against the truck and watch her.  This is not as bad as she's making it out to be.
    "I kissed you.  I kissed Luke's fucking friend.  How can I move on from him when I kissed his friend?  Hell, I would've slept with you if you hadn't decided to come here."  I knew we were going there.  Any chance of that has been blown out the window now.
    "I'm such a whore."
    "STOP.  I can handle a lot of things, but I won't listen to you talk like that.  You're not a damn whore.  I can tell by the way you carry yourself.  Hell, I saw plenty of whores in that bar, but you weren't one of them."  I move to stop her angry pacing and she walks around me, then behind the truck.
    "How does this happen?  I went for groceries, decided to stop for a drink and a burger.  You just walk in like you own the place, make me lose all logic, then boom, I've fucking kissed his friend.  I don't kiss strangers.  Hell, I've never even really had the real chance to date like normal people do."
    "Are you a damn virgin?"  I have to ask, because the way she's talking I'm not even sure what she's saying.  She stops in front of me and looks at me like I'm crazy.
    "No I'm not a virgin.  I've just had a strange life.  My father chose my boyfriends through business decisions.  It's a long story and I'm just going to walk to the cabin.  Can you have your sister's friend bring my Jeep here?  I'll leave in the morning.  I can't take this shit anymore."  She starts to walk fast toward the cabin and I lean in to tell my sister to get the vehicles moved here before I run to catch up with her.
    I finally reach her and flip her around to face me.  "Stop walking so damn fast.  We need to talk about tonight.  Nothing happened and Luke isn't some jackass that would hold this against either of us.  If he tried, I'd kick his ass."
    "Why did I not see that your nickname would have to be Cowboy?  Hell, I even heard the girls in the bathroom call you the cowboy and it didn't even register that you could possibly be him.  Never."
    "Everything happens for a reason."
    "Oh my god.  I can't even deal with this night.  Can we just pretend none of this ever happened?"  How can I forget tonight when I've had a great time?  I know I'll have to because she's going to run.  Not that I want to do anything with Luke's ex, but shit I had a great connection with
