I blink.
Jax Wynn is one of Steve’s friends and teammates.But he’s alsomyfriend.My tequila-drinking, trivia-playing buddy.Biting my lip, I cross the room and unlock the door.I crack it open and peer out.“State your business.”
His lips quirk.“Are you okay?”
“Are you kidding me?Of course I’m not okay!”
He winces.“I know.I’m sorry.Can I come in?”
“Did Steve send you?”
He frowns.“No.”
“Okay.”I open the door wider to let him in, then lock it again.
“I saw your bridesmaids ripping into Steve,” Jax says.“I can’t believe what just happened.”
I sigh and move to the counter where the champagne bottles are.The open ones are all empty.I pick up a full one and peel off the foil.Then I turn to Jax.“Can you open this?”
He takes the bottle, grabs a small towel and easily removes the cork with a pop.He looks for a glass, but I seize the bottle and take a swig.
He scratches the back of his neck.“You look beautiful.If that helps at all.”
“It doesn’t really, but thanks.”
“Yeah.”He sits in one of the chairs, resting his elbows on his knees.“How did you find out?”
“Someone sent me screen shots of the texts last night.”
“This Claire girl?”
“I don’t know.I don’t know who else would know or be able to do that.Unless someone got Steve’s phone.It doesn’t matter.”
“That was…gutsy.”
I nod slowly.“Probably stupid.I wanted everyone to know what an asswipe he is, but now everyone knows what a loserIam.”One corner of my mouth dips.
“What?Loser?You’re not a loser.He cheated on you.”
“Because I don’t give blow jobs as good as Claire.”
“Christ.”He rubs his face.
“Also, my boobs aren’t as big.In fairness, though, he may love makinghercome, but he wasn’t that good at it with me.”
Jax chokes.
I drink more champagne.Feeling a little woozy.That’s good though.
I sit again, my skirt spread all around me.“Did you know?”I ask quietly.
Jax’s mouth pinches up.“No,” he says shortly.
“I just don’t understand.”
“Me either.Hand over that bottle.”
I comply with a wry smile, watching as he lifts the bottle to his lips.His throat works as he takes several swallows.
