“Cheers.”
With that out of the way, I fired off the NDA and took care of the rest of my emails.
Some of the press at the concert were invited to take pictures for the first hour of the afterparty. I got their credentials verified, and then I texted Brodie to remind him to be on his best behavior.
Right.
Just got off the phone with your date. Seems like a nice guy. Give the press the shots they like. But no comments. Keep it about the event and the charity we’re supporting.
Brodie: You mean, no pics of him grabbing my ass? Wait. I forgot. Only you’re allowed to touch my ass from now on.
My dick perked up at that idea.
Funny. Hand holding, arm around the waist, or side by side for the photo ops.
Brodie: I’ll stand side by side, but I ain’t holding his hand.
Maybe we should forego the duet. I’m not sure about the optics.
I was nervous that I was going to fuck up on stage. And more importantly, I was concerned that everyone in the audience, my boss included (via video), would know something was up between Brodie and me.
I wasn’t ready to answer those questions, not when we barely knew the answers ourselves.

With him. To him.
Brodie: The duet stays. You, me, and “Sideline.” And I don’t give a fuck about optics.
Fuuuuck.
And if the media starts asking questions?
Brodie: I know how to say no comment. You just worry about you.
What do you mean?
Brodie: Try not to eye-fuck me too much.
But I’ll be singing with THE Brodie James. I don’t think I can help it.
I waited for his response, watching the three dots appear and then disappear.
