Chapter 17: Neil
Iâm beginning to think that âchillâ isnât the best word to describe Jules. Maybe heâs chill when weâre hanging around his apartment or taking a walk. But Iâve seen a growing number of highly un-chill moments that have forced me to reassess. Chill is certainly one piece of the puzzle, but thereâs also passion, protectiveness, and affection.
I like all of it, so very much, but I wouldnât want to be the person who threatens what he cares about. Iâm what he cares about, arenât I? It sure seems that way. The question is: Do I have the courage to ask him? To see if he wants something more with me? Something lasting? I almost asked earlier, but then the car stopped, and the moment passed. Itâs too noisy and crowded to try again tonight. Thatâs what Iâm telling myself. Itâs totally NOT that Iâm too scared to ask. I sigh. I am totally scared.
Why disrupt whatâs already working? Thereâs no reason, except I want more. Iâve always wanted more with him. A label. A commitment. And I know in my bones that losing him would hurt like hell. That Iâd feel the absence of him, even though he has no contact with my everyday life. My heart would know. Jules picks that moment to look back at me and his face immediately darkens.
âYou sure youâre okay?â he asks.
âYes. Really. I was just thinking about work,â I reassure him. Good lord, what was my face doing a moment ago? âLetâs go see your friend.â
âRight on,â he says and continues leading me to the door that leads to the control room.
His movements are too jerky to be considered chill. Like heâs still mentally shaking off that confrontation. Nothing like the easy stride he uses when weâre at home together. Did I just call his place home? Before I can unpack that little truth grenade, weâve arrived at the control room, and I have to mentally realign. Jules leans over and points to my earplugs. I quickly stuff them in my pocket.
âDonât worry,â Jules says. âHeâs going to love you.â
âCool, sure.â My voice sounds brittle but thereâs nothing I can do now.
Jules slowly opens the door like he doesnât want to startle anyone.
âHey Kris,â Jules calls towards the leather-clad man facing at the far side of the room standing behind a control panel. Next to him a technician with earphones is fiddling with the controls.
Kris turns he looks at me and his eyes narrow. Whoa Kris is hot. Heâs big with dirty blond hair, tattoos, not as many muscles as Jules, but that same kind of rough-around-the edges look, except with lots of swagger. I kind of want to punch him and Iâm not sure if itâs because heâs so handsome and smug or because heâs looking at me like Iâm gum on his shoe.
âHey Jules, come on in,â Kris smiles at his friend, âand you must be Neil.â He shoots me a cold glance.
Iâm starting to wonder what Jules said about me.
