The great thing about Manhattan is that there’s always a hotel around the corner, and they’re usually pretty nice ones, too. We found a Hilton a block from where we’d started our reunion, and I used my card and my name to check in.

“Keep that reputation safe,” I whispered to him as we entered the elevator.

And at that, quite suddenly, he had me shoved back against the wall of the elevator, his hands on my cheeks, his eyes staring hotly into mine. But he didn’t kiss me, like I expected him to. Instead, he started talking to me.

“Alexis, I have to tell you something,” he said quickly.

Oh, terrific, here we went. This was the time where he admitted to having a girlfriend, but said that they weren’t doing that well and he was going to break up with her, and yada, yada, yada. I didn’t want any of it. Didn’t want to hear it. Yeah, I’d known he had a girlfriend. Hell, I’d just checked us into the hotel under my name specifically so there wouldn’t be problems for him. And I’d known his butt would need covering.

But I hadn’t really stopped to think about it, you know? Hadn’t bothered to think about what it all meant. I’d been so excited to see him, so suddenly filled with everything good, that I hadn’t bothered with that little thing called reality.

Now, with his words, it all came rushing back to me. The fact that he had a girlfriend. The fact that I’d actually seen her with him. Seen him holding her hand. The fact that he’d brought her to my goddamn show.

I started to push him away, my rational mind coming back into control, ready to assert itself once more. The romantic part of me was already wilting. I needed to remember what the truth of the matter was, here. And the truth was that if I slept with him again, I’d do it knowing that he was cheating on someone else with me.

“Right, actually, now that you mention her, I’m not positive this is such—”

He stopped me with a kiss, and it was one of those searing, mind-numbing, bone-melting deals where he absolutely took control of my mouth, shutting off anything but a groan from me. When he pulled back, he left me feeling hazy and craving his presence.

“Please just be quiet and listen. Just for a second,” he whispered.

I looked up into his eyes and realized that I couldn’t tell him no. Not when he looked like I would tear his heart out and stomp all over it if I did. So, I nodded and sealed my lips, waiting.

“She’s not my girlfriend,” he said quickly. “Haley. She’s not. It’s just…a fake. It’s just something the label set up, after she joined the band. They thought we should have a girl in the band to appeal to a wider audience, and they made me kick my friend out and take Haley on. Then, it turned out she was hugely unpopular with the audience and we had to do something about that.
