“Yet she knows I haven’t had sex with you. Isn’t that strange?” He winced, looking away from me. “I don’t know what hurts more, the fact that you’re lying or the fact you take pleasure in mocking me in front of your bimbos!”

“It wasn’t like that.” Obviously stressed, he ruffled his hair before pinching the bridge of his nose with his fingers. “I may have said something to a few women Maddison knew the first week you arrived, but I didn’t mean any harm.”

“Well, you hurt me. I’m your PA, Alex. You hadnoright discussing that shit withanyone!”

“You’re right. I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.”

“It better not. Otherwise, Iwillleave!”

“Does this mean we’re not friends anymore?” he pouted. How could I resist that pout?

“No, we’re still friends. That doesn’t mean you’re not a fucking asshole!”

“I know,” he sighed as fans engulfed the limo. London clearly didn’t want Alex to leave. The blackout glass gave us privacy, though. All you could hear were screams and the thud of women banging on the windows. The hysteria around him never faded after Steel Roses split. Instead, all the focus become directed toward him.

“Doesn’t this scare you?”

“No,” he chuckled as a fan pressed her bare breasts against the window.

“Do these women have no morals?”

“They're just trying to get my attention. You have to admit, that was a great pair of tits.”

“I wasn’t looking that closely,” I sulked.

“Shane will get us through safely, don’t worry,” he laughed.

Despite the crowds, we made it to the airport in plenty of time for the flight. The comfortable first class seats meant I slept most of the way after we’d been served breakfast. The air stewards were all swooning over Alex, so he was busy anyway.

“Hear me out!” I woke up to Diego’s raised voice. “Don’t you think it’s time?”

“All that fucking shit isdone! He should have moved the fuck on from it. I have!” Alex was seriously pissed about something.

“You never talked about any of it. You all just walked away.”

“I had no fucking choice. You know that!” Crap, were they arguing about the Steel Roses split? “Why are you bringing all this shit up again? Have you seen him?”

“Mason just said…”

“Youhavebeen seeing them behind my fucking back! What, are you some fucking spy, going back and telling Matt everything?”

“Oh, shut the fuck up before I bitch slap you for overreacting.” I held in a snigger. Diego could handle Alex as well as I could. “I saw Mason at a club last month and he said that Matt had mentioned a reunion tour, but that you and he would have to talk it all out before it happened.”

“It’s not fucking happening. I don’t owe those fuckers anything! They can do a tour, but I won’t be part of it.”

“That’s not going to work, is it? You’re the damn front man.”

“Fuckingdrop it, Diego.” Alex’s tone was laced with pure hatred, and it made me wonder what actually happened to make the band split over ten years ago.

“You don’t have to be soambitchous,”Diego glared, throwing his hair over his shoulders, annoyed.That made me snort before I could stop myself. Putting my hands over my mouth, I tried to pretend to be asleep, but failed.

“Eavesdropping on a conversation, huh? There is usually a punishment for that,” Alex tutted, taking the seat opposite me.

“I only heard the last part. I’m sorry, but it was funny.” I grinned over a Diego. “Ambitchous?”

“It’s when you act like a bigger bitch than usual,” he winked. I loved it! “Alex is one most days.”

“Shut up, fucker. You overstepped the mark.”
