Chapter Seven
Billie
Was Billie really expected to go outside in these clothes? Thank God no one would recognize him with the glasses and hat because he did not want to be seen. âI look like the Fugitive. If the Fugitive was a ten-year-old wearing his dadâs clothing.â
Eli had loaned him a pair of sweats and a flannel shirt, but they were gigantic on him. The shirt was so long it was more like a dress than a top. The only thing Billie could do was roll up the sleeves and tie the sides of the shirt together. The sweatpants were also enormous, so he rolled them up and wrapped the drawstring around his waistâtwice. Finally, he tucked his hair under a baseball cap and added a pair of sunglasses. Fuck, was this what Dax had to go through on a regular basis with the media? At this rate, the tour couldnât come soon enough.
When Billie finally ventured out of the bedroom, he was greeted by Eli and Luisâs bellowing laughter. They picked up their phones and began snapping pictures.
âHave your fun, guys. But the next time you need a custom-made suit, donât come running to me,â he said as he took off his glasses and tucked them in the shirt pocket.
âSorry, Billie, but youâre so stinking cute!â Luis chuckled.
âI agree. Youâre adorable.â Eli smiled at him and did a thorough once-over, but Billie would not be moved. He pointed at Eli.
âDonât think your cute smile and that sexy look you give me is gonna make me forget your reaction. I hope you enjoyed last night, âcause thatâs all the kissing youâre gonna get from me.â
âWait a minute nowâwe were laughing with you, not at you,â Eli countered. âDonât be mean.â
He wandered over and drew Billie in close, leaning down to whisper in his ear. âI love seeing you in my clothes. It turns me the fuck on. Makes me feel like a caveman. Mine.â Billie glanced up and got lost in Eliâs whiskey-colored eyes. Eyes full of heat and desire and something deeper⦠Oh, boy. He was in trouble. Deflect! Keep things light and flirty.
âI better get going. I have a lot of work to do.â
âCall or text me later?â
âYou got it, big guy.â He gave Eli a quick kiss.
Billie gathered up his clothes and boots and placed them in a gym bag that Eli loaned him. They said their goodbyes, and then Luis escorted him out to his SUV. Thank God for tinted windows. Billie could at least remove the hat when he was in the car.
âSo you and Eli, eh? I guess thatâs why Iâm now your primary,â Luis murmured as he drove them back to Manhattan.
âYes, me and Eli. Weâre friends. I mean, weâre more than friends. But not boyfriends. I donât think. I donât know. I donât really want to talk about what we are exactly.â Billie was a mess this morning. âMason was going to suspend him, but thankfully he changed his mind.â
âMason changed his mind? Whoa, thatâs shocking.
