Chapter 91 Tell Me You Need Me

Julia bites her bottom lip with a slight nod and takes my boxers off.

"Get on top of me."

"Is this the "Do anything you want" game because you are very demanding, Mr. Gallo."

"That's exactly what this is." I pull Julia in and show her how good she has it with me. I show her how good we feel together. How good we ARE together. I show her until she's pulling my hair and saying my name. I show her so much she will be feeling this tomorrow. Maybe the next day.

*Trisha*

I flirt with Nate and he pulls me in against his body and kisses me. But it's a peck on the lips, not his passionate kiss. This is Nate letting me know me and him? We're never going to happen. We can have sex a trillion and one times with each other, but the reality is- Nate's heart is with Julia. Not me. So when I cry in his chest, he holds me and hugs me and comforts me. As much as it hurts, I DO need to move on, though I don't think I will ever be able to entirely move on from Nate without cutting ties all together. Quitting my job and moving to some deserted island far far away from him. That's not happening.

And for once in the man's fucking life, he does the right thing. Nate kisses my forehead, wipes my tears, walks me to my room, and leaves.

The next morning it's like nothing ever happened between us. We are still best friends. Maybe even best friends with benefits, who knows. But we will never be a couple. I watch Jonah take Nate's blood pressure like he does every morning.

"You sure you don't want to come to The Avalon with me?" Nate looks my way as I pour Evan a cup of coffee. To be honest, I'm not really sure why the guy is here right now. We don't technically need his services until tour but I'm going to take advantage of this hot stud while we have him.

"Nope. I have some errands to run." Aside from a hair appointment, I don't, but I'll find something.

"Take Evan with you, please. You went out yesterday without a bodyguard. You seem to have forgotten about your idiot ex-boyfriend lurking around."

"Are you feeling under the weather?" Jonah takes the blood pressure off and jots down Nate's numbers.

"I feel fine. Why?" He gets up and puts bowl from breakfast in the sink.

"140 over 90, Nate."

Wait. 140/90. That's high for someone just sitting there eating breakfast. Too high. I look over at Casey who shares the same thought but Nate only shrugs.

"I mean, I'm fine. Feel fine. Not stressed."

"That's why they call it the silent killer." I shake my head and gain a look from Jonah. "What? It's true. It's a good thing he has you taking his blood pressure every day and documenting it all. You need Jonah around to keep up with this shit. We all know you never will."  I stand up and turn to Evan."Anyway, I have a hair appointment. You coming or can I go alone?"

"Coming." Evan dumps out his coffee and is on the job now. He looks at the basket of all Nate's car keys on the counter.  I think he has 7 here in L.A. Never mind the cars he owns in London. "Benz?"

"Over my dead body." Nate shakes his head no. Oh Evan, cute, sweet, dumb Evan. Nate will NEVER let you drive his Mercedes.

"Don't die today Hollan." I loll my head towards Nate who smirks, making me laugh, before entering the elevator with Evan.

"What's it with him and that car anyway?" The bodyguard asks.

"That's his baabbbyyy.  I'm not sure he's even let Paul drive the Benz and he's known him since we were teenagers!"
