I blew out a breath. My baby’s heart was broken. Her and Luke were together for a year before he took his life. It had nothing to do with Sky and their turbulent relationship. She was a mess. So, I couldn’t tell her a year was nothing in the grand scheme of things, and she would love again.
A few minutes later someone knocked on my door.
I opened it a hair to see Bubba with a handful of flowers. I recognized them. They came from my mom’s flower box.
I crossed my arms, “How did you find me?”
“I followed you.”
I started to close the door on him.
He put his hand in the way. “I’m sorry, Maddie. Let me in.”
Reluctantly, I let him sling the door open. Tapping my foot, I waited for him to speak.
“I’m sorry. This was my fault. I shouldn’t have assumed you knew I was me and not Beau.”
“No, you shouldn’t have. I haven’t seen you all in forever. You and Beau look just alike. Besides the scar on his chin.” I hadn’t even remembered until… a jolt from my climax zipped through me, reminding me.
“Beau and I look nothing alike now.”
Picturing a big burly biker, I wondered if Beau got fat. “And we shouldn’t have… you know.”
Bubba smiled too big.
I pursed my lips, not wanting to think any more about how I enjoyed it.
“Give me a chance, Maddie.”
“A chance for what? You already got what you wanted.”
“No. I want more.”
“More sex?”
“Of course. But more than that. I’m tired of being single. Every girl I meet just wants fame and fortune. They just want to get into the music industry, and I’m a handsome, wealthy steppingstone.”
“How do you know, I don’t just want that as well? I’ve sold a song before. I came to Nashville wanting a new career in the music industry too.”
“You, Maddie? You don’t even know country music.”
“I just got here. I planned to learn.”
“Well, that’s not why you had sex with me.”
“I thought you were Beau.”
“I am now. I’m just not your Beau. Spend some time with me. Give me a chance.”
“You’re a liar.”
“How so?”
“You said your help was leaving. That man outside says he lives there.”
“He does live there, but at the guest house. Mack and Selma are married and usually take off around that time.”
That made sense, but I wasn’t about to give in.
