Page 6 of Undeniable Love

When Jax opened his eyes the next morning, it took a while to piece together why he was sleeping on his living room floor.

Slowly, he sat up and blinked at how bright the room was. His living room had a ton of natural light and right now it felt like he was staring at the surface of the sun. Scratching his head, he slowly got to his feet. Nothing seemed out of place—other than where he slept—and it bothered him that he didn’t remember driving home.

Stumbling over to the door to the garage, he yanked it open. His jaw hit the floor when he found it empty.

“What the hell…?” Slamming the door, he stormed around until he found his phone, hoping there was some sort of clue as to what happened last night. It took thirty minutes to find it—in the refrigerator—and as soon as he tapped the screen, he saw there were over twenty unread messages. “That can’t be good.”

Before he read anything, however, he needed to deal with the pounding headache he was currently sporting, along with all the body aches. After washing down a dose of ibuprofen with a bottle of water, he braced himself for whatever clues his phone held. Raking a hand through his hair, he let out a long breath and carefully sat down on the sofa and began to read. The first was from Declan.

Declan: Dude, where’d you go? You said you’d be right back.

“Where did I go?” he murmured.

Declan: Did you seriously leave with that redhead? You know she’s crazy, right?

Redhead?

Declan: Would you just answer me?

Declan: Fine. Whatever. I’m not bailing your ass out.

And that was the last from Declan. Next were a bunch of texts from Travis.

Travis: We’re moving the party to my place!

Travis: Can’t believe Declan bailed already

Travis: I’m telling the guard at the gate that you’re on the list, but lose the redhead.

Travis: That chick is crazy. I don’t want her knowing where I live!

“Again with the redhead? Who the hell is she?”

After that, there was a series of texts from a number he didn’t recognize, but when he clicked on it, things began to fall into place.

Photos.

Tons of them.

Of him and a beautiful woman with red hair while they were at Bruno’s.

Then…

Unknown: Hey! It’s Tiffany!

Unknown: Now we have each other’s numbers!

Unknown: I love that I can call you now all the time!

Unknown: You smell so good!

Then there were more pictures, and in each of them, Jax could see how he was relaxing more and more and had more than a bit of a buzz on.

Shit.

Unknown: OMG! Did Travis just invite us back to his place?

Unknown: Don’t leave without me! I need to tell the girls where we’re going!
