Chapter 18

IT TURNED OUT RHYS had a job.

He was bartending at one of the bars, and he’d told me to meet him there. I had no idea how no one had talked about it before or how I hadn’t heard it, but it didn’t look like it was a big secret or he would’ve never invited me there.

But as I was sitting at the bar waiting for his shift to end, I realized that I hadn’t seen him for more than five minutes.

He’d gone off through one of the doors and hadn’t come out yet. Was he busy doing something in the back? Or had he escaped me and just left me here?

I waited a few more minutes, but then I headed outside, unable to sit there any longer. When I rounded the corner, I found Rhys sitting on a bunch of bricks and smoking.

“Are you okay?” I asked because he didn’t really look well.

Okay, he was still as handsome as ever, but there were dark circles under his eyes and it seemed as if he was tired of everything.

He let out a sound of annoyance as he closed his eyes for a moment. “What are you doing here?”

“I saw that you weren’t there, so I went to look for you. If this is not a good time or if you’re not feeling well, we can do the project some other time.” I didn’t really want to have to find another time and date, but he was of no use to me like this, especially if he just sat there and waited for me to do most of the work.

“Just give me five fucking minutes!” He shot me a glare.

“Fine. Jeez.” I lifted my hands up.

My gaze raised to the person who was walking toward us.

It was Aaron.

What the hell was he doing here?

“I need a smoke,” Aaron said, and without a word, Rhys pulled out his little box.

I sighed.

Now I was never going to get them out of here, especially when Aaron sat down next to Rhys.

“Hey, Melody,” Aaron said when his eyes briefly lifted to me. “Is she bugging you with that stupid project?” he asked Rhys.

“Yep.”

Oh great.

Ignore me as if I’m not here at all.

Why not?

“My folks are fucking insane,” Aaron said, leaning his head against the wall. “I would kill for a fucking burger.”

“Then quit,” Rhys said.

“I wish.” He groaned. “But I love to play, despite all the nonsense my parents say and do.”

“Then quit your parents.”

“Easier said than done.”

“Yeah, I know.”

“Melody.” Aaron focused his attention on me. “Don’t just stand there like a nun. Sit with us.”

“I’m not going to sit down on that cold stone.” I had no idea how it didn’t bother them, but I didn’t want to catch a cold or something.

The bricks were dirty too.

The last thing I needed was to ruin my favorite pair of pants.

“Then go away.” He made a shooing gesture.

“I’m not going away. Rhys and I need to work on our projects, and since you’re here too, maybe you can join us.
