LEWIS

After having less than three hours of sleep, I handed my suitcase and Cole’s huge roller duffel to the concierge at the InterContinental Hotel in Downtown LA. With dark black Ray Bans covering my tired eyes, I entered the huge light-filled foyer, caught the elevator up to the seventieth floor, and walked along the Sky Lobby in search of my band. My stride had a touch of swagger and a new smile had been etched onto my face. Last night with Tia had been phenomenal, nerve-wracking, and life changing. Clearly, I’d survived. So much for dating and taking things slow. I had a history of going all-in fast. This had been no exception. But I was adamant about moving forward at a steady pace to make sure our infatuation wasn’t a hot fuse that fizzled out quickly. Keeping what happened under wraps would be hard—especially with the guys. But thanks to our busy schedule over the coming weeks, our promotional tour would ensure I remained focused on the band, not Tia.

I headed toward the bar at the far end of the lobby. Flint and Slip lazed on a large gray sofa with April and Blake sitting opposite on comfy chairs.

“How are you holding up? Tia okay?” Flint asked over the rim of his coffee cup.

I’d told the guys last night before we’d left that she’d been tired, her leg had ached, and the reporter had upset her, and so I’d offered to take her home. Since it had been late, they’d thought nothing of it.

“I’m still on a high after our show. Tia’s fine.” Leaving her in bed had been hard, but music was why I was here.

“You tuck her into bed real good?” Slip’s suggestive chuckle made me falter.

Did he suspect there was something between Tia and me? Or was this his sense of humor shining through. I played along, grinned and told a version of the truth. “There was no tucking.” Only ripping off bedsheets and clothes, and a lot of fucking. But he didn’t need to know that. I quickly changed the topic. “She doesn’t like gossip reporters very much.”

“Who does?” Flint lowered his sunglasses over his eyes. The sun blazed too brightly through the large windows that gave views across LA. We’d all had a big night. “Tia can get fired up, rather than remaining cool and calm during interviews.”

“So I witnessed last night.” I waved down a waiter and ordered a cappuccino, before continuing. “Gloria from Entertainment On-Show had a go at her about the pictures of us at Club Destruction and whether I was really gay, and whether we were just creating hype for the launch. That pissed her off. I interrupted, just in time.”

“Geez, thank you.” April covered her mouth with her fingertips as she quickly finished a bite of her blueberry muffin. “I haven’t missed dealing with Tia’s outbursts. But that news should die now you’ve launched the single. Initial posts online about the track and last night’s show have been all positive.
