Chapter 41 - Reece
The first thing Reece did when he landed was text Nick. Then he got home to his apartment, which still didn’t feel like home to him, and left his bags in the living room. He was exhausted, too tired to eat, but in desperate need of a long, hot shower.
He slept until noon and woke up to texts from Nick—the one notification out of thousands on his phone that Reece cared about.
Nicky:just landed too
Nicky:meeting the team and having dinner
And then a few hours later—
Nicky:night kitten
Reece screamed. Phone clutched in both hands, Reece rolled around on his bed from one side to the other, kicking his feet and hugging his pillows and squealing into them.
It felt like things were back to how they used to be. Because that’s what Nick wanted. He showed Reece that he wasn’t happywith their separation. He held him. Kissed him. Promised him that they’d meet again and they’d have more time.
So Reece couldn’t stop smiling.
Reece:Good morning, Nicky!
Reece:Sleep well ♥?
It was so much easier to get out of bed today, Reece feeling as if a weight had been taken off his shoulders. He could breathe. He could laugh. He could cry in the best way.
He even sang as he ordered some breakfast and then sat on the couch with his laptop to check his emails. Checking his emails happened in between perusing his notifications on Instagram and X.
Everything had been so chaotic that Reece hadn’t checked his socials since before the draft. He’d been completely oblivious to how much his name and face had gotten around since then.
Did Nick just kiss that blond guy?

“That blond guy” is Reece KEYS, a supermodel who must be close friends with him!
Holy shit is it just me or was the number one pick eye fucking the hell out of that model Reece Keys?
Omg the way Reece spoke about Nick in the interview!! ??

Fuck that. What about the way Nick was looking at Reece the whole time??
Hey @ReeceKeys are you and @NickGray dating?
IT’S CONFIRMED THAT GRAY WAS INVITED TO ATTEND THE D&G SLEEK AND CHIC LINE SHOW AND GUESS WHO IS ONE OF THE MODELS?
I saw Nick drooling over a certain blond at the K-Center.

It was Reece Keys btw
Reece was so absorbed in reading everything with heated cheeks that when a knock sounded on his door, his phone flung right out of his hand. He cursed and went to open the door, coming face to face with a shorter guy who started bouncing on his feet the instant Reece’s face came into view.
“You really are Reece Keys! Oh my God, you’re that model who’s dating Gray right?”
“What? Who told you that?” Reece frowned, taking his food and closing the door halfway.
