Chapter 19: Damo

When I woke up, Polly was gone. What the hell? She’d snuck out in the night. Obviously, she’d had second thoughts.

I ran my hand through my hair. If she wanted to be like that, it was probably for the best. We weren’t compatible; that much was facts. Even so, I reached out and grabbed the pillow she’d slept on and hugged it to me, her scent still strong on it.

I’d told her we should go slow. That’d nearly killed me, but I didn’t want to rush her. I didn’t want to rush myself, either. I needed to think this whole situation through. If we hadn’t been touring together, it would have been fine, but we’d be forced into close proximity over the next few months. If this thing didn’t work out, my life would be hell, and I wasn’t cut out for stress and tension. Maybe I should’ve explained that I didn’t want to go that slow. Hell, I had no idea what I wanted.

I couldn’t get back to sleep.

Screw it. I showered and dressed, then decided to head out to that cafe I’d been to with Fartstard. I needed coffee, not the shit over-brewed stuff you got at the hotel, but decent coffee. Some bacon would be mighty fine too, since I’d only had that crappy sandwich last night.

As I left my room, I ran into Elijah.

“Morning,” he said with a knowing smile.

What was that smile about?

“I’m going to get breakfast from that cafe down the street,” I told him.

“I’d be into that. I’m getting a little bored with the same thing that’s on offer here every day.”

“Don’t you ever sleep?” I asked him.

He never ceased to amaze me with his scanty sleep schedule. His lack of hangovers despite his heavy drinking was almost insulting, too. And to be honest, for a dude who’d been out partying all night, he looked pretty good.

“Plenty of time to sleep when you’re dead,” he said. “Actually, my plan was to hit the breakfast buffet before it finishes, then come back and have a nap.”

We left the hotel and walked to the cafe. It surprised me that the streets were buzzing with so many people. It felt like early morning to me, even though it must’ve been about lunchtime.

“So, what did you do last night?” he asked.

“I got the lyrics written for the new song. I’m pretty happy with it, too. I’ll play it for you during sound check tomorrow.”

“Is that all?” he said.

God, he knew. He wouldn’t be smirking like that if he didn’t know. I’d hoped to keep this Polly thing—if there even was a Polly thing—quiet for a while. Hell, I almost blushed. Why should I even care? What I did in my own time was my business, and that was business I didn’t want to discuss with Elijah. Despite his knowing gaze, he couldn’t know what had happened last night.

“Should there be something else?” I asked.

“Dude, we all saw Polly leave your room last night. Well, this morning.
