Chapter Eleven

Andrew woke first and basked in the sight of Cain beside him. He liked Cain being there. He made life comfortable. Cain shifted in the blankets. His eyes remained closed as he continued to sleep. He looked so young and innocent in slumber.

Someone’s phone rang. Andrew didn’t recognize the tone and assumed it had to be Cain’s device. He picked it up. The name Dixon filled the screen. He couldn’t answer for Cain and should wake him but didn’t want to.

Cain stretched again. “It’s mine, isn’t it?”

“Yeah.” He placed the phone in Cain’s hand. “Dixon?”

“My agent.” Cain fiddled with the screen and sighed. “Jesus. He’s called forty-six times and filled my voicemail.”

“We must’ve really been out, because I didn’t hear it until now.” Andrew left the bed and dressed in a pair of running shorts. “I hope it’s not serious.”

“He’s dramatic, so it could be nothing or it could be something.” Cain shrugged. “He does this sometimes. Thinks the world is ending and it’s just a photo in the tabloids that looks sort of bad, or someone pulled out of a movie I wanted and there’s a chance I can get it, but it won’t go through because I wasn’t the one they wanted in the role.”

Nice guy. “Do you need a minute to talk to him?”

“Nope.” Cain sat up and tucked his legs beneath him. “I want you to hear what’s going on. I want us to be a couple, and if that’s going to happen, I want no secrets.” He dialed the phone, then placed the device on the bed.

“Dixon.” Cain rested his elbows on his knees. “You called?”

“Jesus fucking Christ. Where are you?” Dixon snarled. “What happened?”

“I’m in Cedarwood, like I told you.” Cain reached for Andrew and held his hand. “Why?”

Andrew sighed. Their quiet solace at the farm would end soon.

“I came to this awful town to save your ass and I can’t find you. No one knows where you are,” Dixon said. “What the hell were you thinking? This town is terrible. No stores, no coffee shops…it’s so behind the times. Liam Blackwell better be happy he’s been left behind, because he belongs here.”

“Funny, I’ve found tons of things to do.” Cain squeezed Andrew’s fingers.

“Bullshit,” Dixon replied.

Andrew hated the way Dixon spoke to Cain. His hometown wasn’t that bad, and he and Cain were happy. Why make fun of something Dixon didn’t understand?

“I heard you touched base with Liam, at least,” Dixon said. “Did you go through the script?”

“Not yet. Filming doesn’t start for another two months.” Cain met Andrew’s gaze. “I’m meeting with him next week. Now, I’m busy, so what do you need?”

“I need you to get the fuck away from that stupid farmer you hooked up with and get your ass back to the Hills. Your mother is upset and won’t stop crying because she misses you. You should be in California doing your job, going to premieres and being seen,” Dixon grumbled. “Understand?”

Andrew let go of Cain’s hand. He couldn’t listen to this any longer.
