Share Us
I awkwardly try to clear my throat.
Rae rolls his eyes. “Sookie’s never done that before.”
Eric shares a look with Chul then shrugs. “Maybe he’s just tired of shit.” He grins, knowing he said it loud enough for people to look up and give all of us side eye.
My job is going to be hard reigning these guys in. People always leak things out and the last we need is negative gossip about the groups who are supposed to be best friends and mentors to the new younger group. And the bullying…
Shit. See now I’m the one cursing.
I point at each of them individually, Grace included. “Behave, and Grace.”
“Yup.” She grins, then her smile falls when I glare.
She holds her hands up. “I’ll reign them in too, don’t worry.”
“Good girl.” Lucas winks at her.
I cover my eyes. “NOT what I meant!”
I walk off to some chuckles from both groups which is a bit surprising, only to see Sookie outside leaning against one of the many balconies.
He looks serious.
Much too serious for someone his age
But then, he’s never really felt his age. He’s always seemed so much older, wiser even, with all the feels.
I clear my throat so he knows I’m approaching and stand beside him without looking in his direction. “You good?”
He’s silent, then lowers his gaze to his hands which are bracing the balcony, only to lift his head back up and jerk in my direction. He’s so handsome, it’s unfair. His eyes always seem shy when he’s talking to fans, but when he talks to me it’s like he sees not just everything, but wants me to know he sees rightthrougheverything.
“Yeah.” He rasps out. “I’m perfect.”
I nod my head solemnly. He doesn’t sound perfect, but I’m not going to argue with him right now.
“I’m glad,” is the best I can do.
He snickers at me and shakes his head, suddenly mad, letting me in to see his anger.
“My ex is here,” he says with great annoyance. “And I’m a fling. Isn’t that just perfect? At least you didn’t call me a booty call, then again you wouldn’t know what that’s like with me nor will you ever. Pity, maybe when you’re old and gray and with some accountant with a stick up his ass you’ll think back on the time when I could have been the one biting it.”
My jaw drops.
He walks off as I collapse against the railing.
I am officially in hell.
Chapter Eight
Sookie
I can’t believe she’s here.
I remember her oh too well.
The touches.
The kisses.
