Chapter Thirteen

Nathan

LJ hadn’t been kidding when he said it wouldn’t take Abby long to pull her own weight. She was nearly there already, she just needed a few pointers, but her singing was tremendous. He was almost a little jealous of how effortless it seemed to her.

Luckily enough, he ran into LJ before heading into the writing session. Unluckily, his manager wasn’t too pleased with him for forgetting about said writing session.

“I need you at your best, Nathan. What’s wrong with you?”

Nathan rubbed the back of his neck. This wasn’t exactly how he wanted to start the conversation about Abby. “Sorry, LJ. Lost track of time after my date with Marissa.”

The creases in LJ’s forehead disappeared and he smiled. “Right. How’d that go?”

Nathan shrugged. “Good. But listen, now that you bring it up, I’ve got this idea. Does it matter who we use as the girl we—I…the girl I date?”

LJ’s smile quickly turned into a frown. “What’s this about, Nathan? Marissa is perfect because she has a wide reach and she has a segment of the market we don’t have.”

His manager checked his watch and then neatly crossed his arms.

It was now or never.

“It’s just that I thought it would be a great idea for the girl I date to be another singer. Someone a little different than Seconds to Juliet to bring more fans to us, but also someone you could have the media spin us as like a singing dream team.”

The wrinkles around LJ’s mouth deepened as his lips thinned. “And I suppose you know just the girl to use? Don’t be stupid, Nathan. You know my rule. Don’t let a pretty face screw up the rest of your career.” LJ looked him in the eyes. “And if that’s not enough to convince you to back off, let me say this. Don’t do something that screws up her career, either.”

His manager’s face, now red and angry, shook by the time he finished his tirade.

LJ had all but spelled out that he knew Nathan was talking about Abby. And he’d made the consequences clear.

If Nathan pushed this, Abby would be fired. Replaced.

If it was only Nathan’s career on the line, maybe he would push the issue. Try to call LJ’s bluff. But Abby’s career had just started. If she got fired now, this could be the end for her.

Nathan wouldn’t do that to her. He wouldn’t ruin her future simply because he had feelings for her. She was one of the best things that had ever happened to him. He wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen to her.

He glanced away before his disappointment showed on his face. He shrugged nonchalantly. “It was just an idea, LJ. I didn’t really have anyone in mind. I just thought the singer angle would be cool. I can see the media loving that, but if you don’t think it’s a good idea, I’m not going to push it. I trust you.”

LJ relaxed visibly beside him. “That’s my boy. Just focus on Marissa for right now.
