More Than Enough by Ashley Johnson Read Free Book Online

knowing I had eliminated the Trevor problem and stopped potential problems from arising with Luke. Tonight I could breathe a little easier.
    The rest of the night went smoothly. Since there wasn’t a band anymore to fill the slot that Trevor once had, The Lounge mainly did karaoke and finally started playing dance music and I wanted to dance so badly. I wanted to dance with Luke and forget that I saw Trevor for the first time in months. A little after midnight the crowd finally started to thin out and I could finally start closing. When the last few people left I locked the door and went to close the office. This bar really was my second home. There were so many memories good and bad here, but I loved it.
    “Thanks for hanging with me tonight. I hope you weren’t bored.” I leaned into Luke for a hug and let him briefly hold me.
    “Me bored? I always have the best time with you babe. And I’m going to have an even better time when I torture you once we get home. Who knows, maybe I’ll start in the car.”
    I pulled away from the hug and started laughing. He was absolutely unreal sometimes. “Keep sucking up Luke. I’m exhausted, I had fun though. I’m not scared of your torture threats, bring them on big boy.”
    I turned off all the lights and we made our way to the door when my phone started ringing. Who the hell would be calling this late? I pulled it out of my pocket to see Halley’s name. Geez, what in the world did she want. I better answer since it is so late. What if there was some sort of emergency? No clue what it could be, but she doesn’t ever call this late. The only reason I was going to be answering this phone call was incase something was wrong. I mean what if she got hurt or something? She is still my best friend no matter how mad I am at her. I do care about her more than most people in my life. In fact, I care for her a whole lot. I had been avoiding her like the plague since she informed me earlier that Trevor and I were supposed to walk together in the wedding.
    “Hey, let me see what Halley wants real quick. It’ll be just a second then we can go.”
    “Go ahead. She’s not in trouble is she? It’s awfully late.”
    “Yeah, I don’t know . Let me see.”
    I stepped to the side and tapped the answer key. “It’s midnight what do you want? Are you ok?”
    Trevor’s voice came in from the other side of the phone and I almost let it slip out of my hands. I probably should have and just prayed it would shatter into a million pieces. I hate to even imagine living without a cell phone even if it was just for a few hours but I was willing to make an exception just this one time. “It’s me Mace. This is the only way I knew you would talk to me. You sounded amazing tonight but was it really necessary to bring him up there with you to sing? I mean were you trying to make me jealous? It worked if you were.”
    Shit. I can’t believe I was stupid enough to fall for this trick. Did she even know he had her phone? Maybe she gave it to him. It was probably some big conspiracy theory to bring me and Trevor back together and drive Luke and me apart. I really wasn’t talking to her ever again. Ever. What am I supposed to say so that Luke thinks I’m talking to Halley? Think Macy. I ran my hand through my hair, taking a second to tuck a few strands behind my ear and took a deep breath and whispered, “Don’t you need to get back to Taylor? I’m sure she needs you to help her tear off that outfit she wore tonight. Why are you calling me?”
    “Taylor and I aren’t going to work. These past few months with her have been miserable and I just, I can’t do it. I know I fucked up Macy and I need you to forgive me. You and I were amazing together. We can be that way again.”
    My jaw dropped as I heard those words come through the phone. This was some cruel joke and I was the butt of it. It felt like I were in the middle of a room of people and they were waiting to see if I were going to crack or
