Chapter 14

At around two in the morning, I ordered car service for Julian and me. Neither of us was fit to drive my truck home, and I couldn’t be assed to deal with Uber or cabs tonight. Back when Nicky worked for me, he'd hooked us up with drivers contracted to the agency he was at, and it was convenient. Someone would be here soon.

Lucia and Shawn had gone home, and the others were staying at the beach house, but we had a fucking cat to go home to. First day in her new home, it was probably not a stellar idea to leave her alone too long.

Julian had named her Blue at some point tonight, for the color of her eyes.

Beats Fluffy.

After hanging up the phone, I returned to the living room. Brooklyn and Asher bid everyone goodnight before heading upstairs, and I sat down next to Julian in the loveseat. On one couch, Tennyson was sprawled out with his head on Sophie's lap, and Danny and Zane were on the other looking all lovey-dovey.

Sickening.

I wanted it.

Paris was the topic, so it was easy to catch up.

"Are we doing a dinner when we get there?" Sophie asked. "I've only shot with Little Paul, so some bonding with my fellow cast wouldn’t hurt."

We had two Pauls on the set, so the kid who portrayed April's son had been nicknamed Little Paul. He was a great actor; Tennyson had found him.

"Well, you'll meet them next week," Tennyson said pensively.

I nodded. "We're shooting the scenes where your family packs your belongings."

Sophie pouted. "Is it wrong I'm on April's side?"

That was the whole mindfuck of the movie. It was about April's love for her son, and parallel to that, we had a devastated but determined family searching for her. 'Cause she was, despite all her love for her son, unfit to care for him, and her family was on a quest to take him away from her.

"I'm on April's side, too," Julian said quietly. "I get that she can't be the mother he needs, but damn. She loves him so much. Who wouldn’t want that?"

I hummed. "Sometimes it's not about what you want, though. Needs come first."

I was beginning to worry I was mixing the two up, though. For a year, I'd tried to do what was best. Tend to needs and not only desires. But what if what I desired was also what I needed?

As the others continued discussing the film, I distracted myself by keeping it about Paris with Julian. He'd only been there once on a school trip.

"I'm guessing you did all the boring museums then," I murmured.

"It wasn’t boring." He chuckled quietly and traced patterns on my shorts. "I heard it would take a whole week to see everything at the Louvre."

I almost forgot he'd majored in art. "You wouldn't mind that, would you?"

"No, it would be a dream come true." He grinned tiredly and shifted in his seat. His legs ended up over mine, and he snatched up a blanket before leaning back against the armrest.
