“And he’s protective of you.”
A hot flush crept over my cheeks, and thank god for the low lighting.
“I don’t know what you mean,” I murmured in response.
Except, I did.
“He nearly took my head off when he saw me touching your arm earlier.”
I wasn’t blind to how Brodie treated me. Like I belonged to him. But he loved to be the center of attention; that’s all it was.
Even still, the thought of Brodie being jealous sent a shockwave of heat through me. It was happening all too often when I thought about him, when I talked to him, or hell, when I just looked at him from afar.
And for someone who thought of themselves as straight, possibly bi-curious, it was a heady realization.
“Brodie’s possessive of my time, that’s all.”
Was I trying to convince Zoe or myself?
“It’s none of my business,” she replied.
Thankfully, that was the end of that conversation.
When the ceremony was done, Zoe went in search of the guys to manage their interviews.
I headed to the afterparty, but after an hour and several conversations and no sign of Zoe or the band, I decided to leave.
On my way out, I spotted him.
Several VIPs were surrounding Brodie, gazing at him, hanging on his every word.
And it hit me that whatever these feelings were, it didn’t matter. It wasn’t going anywhere.
He was a rockstar. The Brodie James.
Maybe he flirted with me and was possessive of my time, but it didn’t mean anything. It was just his way.
And whatever was going on inside me, I dismissed it. If there was one thing I was good at, it was compartmentalizing.
I shoved my crazy revelation about Brodie aside and locked it away.
I was still raw from my dad’s recent passing and that was enough for me to deal with.
For once, I walked out of the venue and I didn’t look back.
I knew Brodie would be looking for me.
This one time, he’d have to wait.

“Iwant to record this song.”
My demand was met with total silence.
