Focusing on work and the keystrokes on my laptop was easier. It was simpler to place all my energy there instead of the one place it shouldn’t have been, Colton and everything that had to do with him. Currently, those things consisted of his social activities, Jesse and… Madison. Colton’s friend sat to his right and his former girlfriend to his left—and I used that title loosely. She sat quite close to Colton, using absolutely any excuse to touch him or tilt her head back at a joke he said, which really wasn’t all that funny. I knew because I heard.

I heard when I was supposed to be working.

He may have broken things off, but they clearly remained friendly. Even Jesse teased him about it sometimes, shaking Colton’s head. After that, Jesse threw his hands back behind his head and slept the majority of the flight to NYC. That action left Colton and Madison to themselves. They chatted together then, and most of the conversation, Colton remained silent, listening while Madison went on about whatever she did. She was quite beautiful and essentially perfect for him and the world he found himself in. She fit right in, and as the flight started to descend, he took her hand, guiding her to bend her head of lengthy dark hair. He spoke to her in her ear, and whatever he said made her smile. I unfastened my attention just as he brought her in for a hug because I had to. What they were saying was none of my business.

I made sure of that.

I couldn’t provide any answers to Colton during the flight. I couldn’t tell him why this couldn’t work because I didn’t have anything for him. I couldn’t get into a relationship with him because that was my choice. The decision was something he also should take stake in, as he should be focusing on himself and the purpose of these next few days. This trip was about him and his career, and it definitely wasn’t about me. We grounded, and the man of the hour got up from his seat. His friends joined him, and while they did, I figured it was important to start getting down to business as to what this trip was about.

“We should probably go over your first feature in the car,” I tossed to Colton, gaining his attention. He and his friends had all been trying to get their bags from above, and I reached up and got mine too. “Just so you’re prepared,” I stated. “We never got to do that during the flight.”

I didn’t dare go over to him while he was in the middle of a conversation with his former girlfriend—again, I used that term loosely. They were close now, even standing.

And he had his arm around her.

I mean, he had his arm around Jesse too, I supposed, slapping his friend’s back before allowing him to stride down the aisle. In response to what I said, Colton simply said one word, “Cool,” before tipping his chin and placing his hand to the small of Madison’s back.
