Chapter Nineteen

"I'm not nervous!" Simone finished pinning her necklace around the back of her neck as she stared in the mirror in her dressing room.

Jax chuckled, leaning in behind her and kissing her shoulder. "That's my girl."

She warmed at his affection, melting backward into his touch. "Okay, I might be a little nervous. But not a lot. I've rehearsed a ton for today. I can't afford to be nervous."

They were only an hour away from the live performance of Kiss Me, Kate broadcast onto every television in the entire damn world. Nerves were to be expected, but she was a professional. She was trained and ready, and that was what she was going to depend on. She knew all her lines. She knew all her moves. She knew exactly what to do when.

Now she just had to do it.

Live.

In front of millions of people.

No big deal.

"I have no doubt that you'll blow them away," Jax said, taking a seat on the couch to the far side of her dressing room. "I mean, you've already impressed the fuck out of me."

She and Jax had been dating for a couple weeks, but they'd been taking it pretty slow. While things with Grant had been hot and heavy out of the gate, she'd made sure to take her time with Jax. Honestly, she wasn't ready to jump into anything that fast right now. He was wonderful to her though, and somehow, he continued to be incredibly patient despite the fact that she'd barely done more than kiss him.

She checked her makeup again, even though her makeup artist had done an impeccable job and used a setter that would keep her makeup perfect for the entire performance.

"Ten minutes to set," a production assistant knocked on her door and announced.

Simone turned to face Jax. "This is it."

Jax stood back up and walked over to her, taking both her hands in his. "I'm going to be watching from the sides, baby. You're going to kill it."

She smiled, nerves scattering through her stomach. "Thank you, Jax."

They said their goodbyes as he began walking her back to set. When they were rounding the final corner toward the main stage, she ran directly into someone else walking the opposite direction.

She jumped back, nearly stumbling if not for Jax grabbing her arm to steady her. "Oh! Sorry!"

A startled Grant Mercer and his deep green eyes were staring back at her. His gaze darted to her left, scanning Jax, then back to her. "Simone…"

"Grant." She swallowed hard, suddenly more than aware of the awkward triangle she was in the middle of. "Uh, I didn't expect to see you here."

"They wanted me here for the performance," he replied, then he reached out a hand toward Jax. "Grant Mercer. Musical Director."

The two men shook hands.

"Jax Walker, Simone's boyfriend," Jax said with all the confidence she didn't have.

Simone coughed, surprised by the label he'd just given them. "Uh, right…well, I mean, we haven't discussed it. Uh, yes. So, there's that."

She closed her mouth, already wishing she could rewind her nervous ramblings.
