Crazy Maybe by A. D. Justice Read Free Book Online

from her.  I just met her and I can’t promise it’ll last more than one night.
    Shane continues, “I heard before I even got to the gym that you and Andi seemed to be into each other.  If that’s true, I gotta tell you – you are royally fucking this up.  Ignoring her, flirting with her friend, then with that other girl.  Andi’s planning on taking some stranger home with her tonight – she’s never done that, Luke.  Make your mind up about her but don’t screw her over.”
    The thought of her going home with some other guy tears me up because I know I want her.  I’m just not really a relationship kind of guy.  As much as I don’t want to say it, the words just tumble out before I can catch them.  “She’s grown, man.  If that’s what she wants, I say she should go for it.”
    Shane gives me a disappointed look and, while shaking his head in disbelief, says, “Your loss, man.  Your loss.”
    He walks back to the table and then leads one of Andi’s friends to the dance floor.  I scan the area but I don’t see Andi anywhere and my heart pounds.  At this very moment, I know without a shadow of a doubt that she’s already left with someone else.  Her one night stand. 
    T he anger hits me hard and I decide that’s exactly what I need, too.  A night of meaningless sex with a meaningless person whose name and face I will forget by this time tomorrow night.
    As I round the bar, the girl who was mauling me just a few minutes before steps into my line of sight and I make my way to her.  I grab her hand and pull her to the dance floor without asking.  The DJ is playing another slow song so I pull nameless-girl in close to me.  She wraps her arms around my neck and I let my fingers slide down her sides, feeling the side of her breasts and her stomach.  When my fingers reach the hem of her shirt, I slide my hands underneath it, stroking the skin on her stomach and around to her back.
    She angles her head up and before I know it, she’s pushing her tongue in my mouth for a very aggressive kiss.  She lets out a little moan and I know she’s more than ready to go.  I grab her hand, ready to pull her to the door, when I take a step and realize Andi is standing in front of me. 
    From the look on her face, I know she saw the whole thing.  Her mouth is slightly open, as if she just sucked in a shocked breath and is still holding it, and her face is pale.  The anger hasn’t even hit her yet – only the shock.  I see movement over Andi’s shoulder and I slightly shift my eyes to see Shane watching me, nameless-girl and Andi.  I’m suddenly keenly aware that Andi didn’t leave with anyone – she was probably just in the fucking bathroom and I overreacted again.
    Andi squares her shoulders, steels her spine and collects her wits quickly.  Her emotions are stamped down and a hard mask is pulled over her beautiful face.  My only coherent thought is, “ What the fuck have I just done?” 
    I drop nameless-girl’s hand and ignore her protests as I slowly walk away from her, following in the direction that Andi just went.  She’s back at the table with the other girls and when I sit, I realize nameless-girl has followed me and is now in my lap since there aren’t any open chairs at our table.  Andi looks over and sees this girl in my lap and our eyes meet.  She looks hurt at first….then really, really mad.  She gets up and heads towards the dance floor but keeps going past it.
    Suddenly, Andi’s on stage, standing in front of the microphone.  The DJ is queuing up the music for her and when it starts, I immediately recognize the song.  She puts on a good sh ow, but there’s no doubt who this song is dedicated to.  The song is Stupid Girls , by Pink.  She blatantly sings the bridge, where she sings about how vain they are, directly to me and the stupid girl sitting in my lap.
    I watch in awe as Andi drops to her knees on the stage, her back arched so her chest is sticking out, and her
