“Yeah, you are really doing this, Kai Cooper”

“I just don’t want to hurt you, Kat”

“Then don’t” I nudge his shoulder and get up, pulling hi that will hurt us both’ My chest aches but Kai deserves this, even if it o

Upstairs, the band looks nervous when Kai and I walk in They are waiting for Kai’s answer, on pins and needles, I a off his dimples, and I can see the relief wash over their faces I can understand that they would be afraid that I wouldn’t want Kai to leave me

I watch excitedly with Kelli as she snaps pictures of the guys signing Clive Owens as their agent Khloe is on ers, and Kai looks at the two of us with this weird expression on his face I don’t knohat to s his head, rubbing the back of his neck

It’s Kai’s turn to sign This is what he wanted, isn’t it? So why does he look so sad? Kelli and Clive go over hteen yet I tune out for ed in the past fiveand we are all loading into our vehicles to make the drive home

We have to fuel up and grab a few drinks and snacks for the road Kai is acting off He even wants h sleep the past few days He is being so quiet it is freaking me out He has barely spoken three sentences to ned that contract

He reclines his seat back and closes his eyes I turn the radio on low and let him sleep Maybe he really is just tired My phone vibrates with a text e I would never text and drive, but I see it’s from Raven

Raven: I cheated on Kai : (

Me: That is shitty, but you guys could have easily told ht now so I will call you later

I don’t get it Yes, Raven cheating on Kai is horrible and wrong, but ould they be afraid to tell h Did he think that I would?

When I pull off at a rest stop in Virginia to stretch s and use the bathrooets out of the car, yawning and stretching I toss hio to the bathroom I know I shouldn’t feel pissed off, but I do Does he think I ahts froo back to the car

When I coainst the side of his car, hands shoved in his pockets, looking mad at the world But even ready to burn the world doith his dark eyes, Kai is the sexiest guy I have ever seen I know deep down he is it for me He sucks all the air from me He consumes me so cos I want to confront hiht be one

I hate seeing him look this way, and I can see he is back to hish his belt loops, and plant a kiss on his cheek He presses his forehead to mine

“Sorry, Kat I know I a like a dick I’et a recording deal…I need you to pro away fro to be hard I knoill be hard for you living in my house without me there”
