The guy next to him made me gasp.
I looked down immediately as my palms sweated and heat rushed through my body. It was Blake. I closed my eyes. It was his band.
“Sorry,” Lucian whispered.
I shook my head and didn’t look at him, but my heart was bouncing like crazy.
“You were on fire,” the girl with the white hair said. I closed my eyes not to see them kissing.
When I looked, Blake sat next to her on the couch.
The guy with the long hair handed him a glass with a brown drink on ice.
“How is the throat, Blake?” another guy asked.
“I’m Blake fucking Leaf. My voice is just fine.” Everyone cheered and my eyes landed on the princess as she stared at him with sultry eyes.
Blake was so different, full of himself, obnoxious. Everything I didn’t think he was. He didn’t even spare us a glance. He flirted a lot with plenty of the girls that came to sit close to them. The white hair girl kept swearing at them, reminding them who she was and he laughed it off. Why was I here? I should just leave. This wasn’t good for me at all.
Lucian and I didn’t speak anymore, as we just listened to their conversation. He didn’t even speak about his mission. Disgusting things left his mouth. It wasn’t the guy I fell hard for. Lucian’s jaw muscles pumped as he kept shaking his head.
Tears pricked my eyes, and I tried everything to push it away.
I was ready to go when the guy with the long hair fell on the single cough, against the wall, on the left of us. He chucked an empty beer can at the guy that laid on the couch in front of us. “Timmy,” he screamed, and I smiled.
“Fuck off, Isaac,” the guy mumbled and carried on sleeping.
Isaac? Blake’s band had a manager named Isaac. Was it this guy?
“Hello,” the guy said and Lucian made the most horrible accent, which I almost burst out laughing but stopped it in time. I lowered my cap and didn’t look at him.
The guy’s eyebrow twitched, and he introduced himself. Lucian leaned over and grabbed his hand, introducing him as Chris and me as Elle.
I waved with a smile.
They spoke about the Shifters.
“Yeah, where did you say you are from?” The guy had a lopsided smile on his face and Lucian answered again, from Areeth.
“Areeth? And you are a game developer?”
“Yeah,” Lucian answered.
It was hard to suppress my laughter as this guy clearly knew Lucian and he did not know that it was him.
“I know you from somewhere?”
“No. I would remember if you did. I mean you are famous.”
Isaac’s eyebrow raised as his gaze skidded to me. “You are silent.”
“She is very shy,” Lucian answered.
“If you say so.” He raised his glass at me, and Lucian just stared at him. “Blake,” Isaac yelled, and my heart picked up a notch.
“What do you want, wanker?” Blake yelled.
I didn’t like this Blake at all.
