LILA

“Amazing!” Noah shouted, grabbing me up and swinging me in a circle around him. “You had them eating out of your hand! The audience adores you!”

I laughed and wiggled to be put down, more than a little bit uncomfortable at this particular member of the band manhandling me. He was hot, don’t get me wrong, but he also made Rivers look like a choir boy. Ragged blond hair, eyeliner, and more tattoos than bare skin, Noah also smoked like a chimney and drank enough to knock out any normal human being. I could smell the whiskey on him now and wondered if he was actually coated in it.

Though I wasn’t going to lie. It was nice to be admired by someone that good-looking.

“They just liked the song,” I laughed, staring up into his ice-blue eyes.

He snorted. “They like a lot of songs. They adored that song, and I’m thinking it was because you were singing it.”

I made a face at him, blowing it off, and turned to look for Anna. She’d been a part of that song too, but I hadn’t seen her since we got off stage. The band had hauled us both to one of the meeting rooms backstage, where we’d found every food you could imagine and way too much alcohol. We’d been eating and drinking—some of us more than others—ever since. This was evidently where the party started.

Not that I would know. I’d never even been on tour before, and certainly not with a band like Global Authors. They seemed like they got everything they wanted—including their own microphones, if that situation with Rivers was to be believed—and they didn’t even have to ask for it.

I could only dream of a career like that. Although Noah was right about one thing: I was right at home on the bigger stage, in front of a bigger audience. I hadn’t even thought twice about performing tonight, and when Rivers had insisted that we play the whole set with them, Anna and I making it up as we went along, I hadn’t argued with him. When we finished up on the song that he and I had written together...

It had been perfect.

At that moment I finally found Anna, and I started laughing. She was backed up against a wall with Matt standing over her, one hand leaning on the wall behind her and the other tucked behind his back like he was trying to keep himself from touching her. She had her face tipped up to his and I could see from the look she was wearing that he’d been teasing her. She looked half furious and half amused, but like she was definitely going to give him some trouble for whatever he’d just said, and I wondered—not for the first time—when those two had started this thing between them. And then I felt guilty for having to wonder. I’d been spending every night in the same room as Anna but hadn’t exactly been asking how she was spending her days.
