proud of you for waiting, or disappointed in you for letting your sex life get this sad, Kenzie.”
“Christ, Hailey! That is enough. Come on, let’s go.” I grabbed Hailey by her arm to try to pull her up, but she was dead weight. Hunter grabbed her arm from me, and picked her up so we could make our way inside. When we reached my room, I dug into my pocket for the key to unlock my door.
Hailey put her arm around Hunter’s neck. “You know what? I’m just so happy because I get to go to bed, and when I wake up there will be chocolate milk and Mason’s penis waiting for me.” I gasped, looking back at Hailey while she started to giggle.
“That is just wrong on soooo many levels.” Hunter said, trying not to laugh; clearly, the situation amused him.
I just shook my head. “Like, really wrong! That is just disgusting. No one wants to hear about that shit!”
As I got the door opened, Hunter stepped in and put Hailey down on her feet. She started jumping up and down, screaming she had to pee. After she had taken off towards the bathroom, I took a few steps towards my bed. Hunter grabbed my hand, and turned me around to face him. He whispered, “CC, you look so damn sexy tonight.” Then he leaned in, and kissed my forehead.
He was giving me whiplash. He wanted me, but didn’t want me at the same time. After a few seconds, I heard him curse under his breath. “I’ve got to get out of here before I do something I shouldn’t. If Hailey becomes too much for you to handle, just come get me or one of your brothers.”
Looking puzzled, I said, “Goodnight, Hunter.” Then he left.
About an hour later, there was a knock at the door. I got off my bed, and found Dominic leaning against the wall.
I was furious. “What in hell took you so long? I thought you would have been here hours ago?”
He was standing there, looking at me as if I was crazy and being unreasonable. “Can I just come in, and we can talk?”
I walked back in my room, and he followed behind me. “Just be quiet. Hailey isn’t feeling good. She had too much to drink.”
“You couldn’t put her in her own damn room? I haven’t seen you in two weeks, MacKenzie.”
I shook my head, “No, I couldn’t. Hunter is in the spare room, and you know I always share this room with Hailey and Jaylinn.”
He cocked his head at me. “Why are you being such a bitch? It was just a question. I drove all this way just to see you; you could have at least made sure we had our own room.”
“You know what? Just leave. I don’t even know why you bothered to show up this late. You didn’t have practice today, so there is no excuse for why you were late.”
“Fine. I don’t know why I bothered to drive six hours just to come to this stupid ass party anyway.” He stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind him.
Hailey walked out of the bathroom, shaking her head. “I don’t know why you stay with that asshole, Kenzie.”
“He never used to be like that.”

When I woke up the next morning, everyone was still sleeping. I decided I would make breakfast since I bailed on them early last night. I looked around the place, and it surprised me that the house was actually fairly clean. I thought there would be a giant mess to clean up. At least now, I didn’t have to tip the housekeepers any extra.
As I was making the last of the pancakes, Hunter escorted some girl from his room out to the front door. How did he turn his feelings for me off and on like that? Not that it mattered but still, I couldn’t figure it out.
Hunter grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge and asked, “Need any help, CC?”
“Nope, I’m good.” Yeah, I want you to explain to me what you were doing with her!
“Alright.” He went back towards his room, but then stopped before he opened the door. “Did Dominic ever show up last night?”
I pulled the last pancake out of the frying pan and put it on a plate. “Yeah, but not for long.”
He shook his head at me, “What did he do this time?”
