Only wanna be with you

39

The event wasn't too crowded and we didn't have to mingle much. It's was mainly promotional shots for the new line. Me and Pete raided the complementary desserts while Jack was caught up in interviews.

"So, what are your intentions with Jacketh" Pete says as he pops a profiterole in his mouth whole.

"My intentions?" I chuckle "well I intend to make him happy, i guess"

"Well I can see that, that's working. But in the long run? I don't want him to get hurt"

"I don't intend on hurting anyone. It's nice to just be in each other's company. I've always been too busy or with Dre and them to even think about a relationship "

"Yeah, what's up with all that? They act like your some precious child that needs to be protected at all costs. I actually thought Posty was going to throw me out of a window at that party because I dared to say your name" he gulps dramatically

"I don't know, they have always been like that. It's actually really annoying at times. They mean well I suppose. But Posty is just a egotistical dick, so just ignore him" I bite into a chocolate covered strawberry

"Wooo girl. Tell me how you really feel?" He clicks his fingers in the air.

"He's been there for some shitty things but he's just too overprotective and overbearing sometimes. I wish he would just back off and let me live my life" Pete's face drops and I instantly know that Austin is stood behind me. I take a deep breath before I spin on my heel to face him.

"Hey Posty man, how's it going?" Pete's feeling super awkward that Austin had overheard our conversation

"I've been better" he says curtly

"Well maybe you should lighten up a little and have some fun" I smile sarcastically at him before pulling Pete with me to find Jack

—————

He had left by the time I woke up. Greg had called to ask what time I needed him to come for me. Austin had contacted him saying I would need to be picked up. Greg didn't ask me any questions, he didn't want to know. He hated my meet ups with Austin and was relieved when we had stopped talking.

He didn't contact me.

It was weeks before we had any contact and that was only because we both had to be at the same event with Dre. He smiled for the cameras and posed for photos but I knew he was still upset with me. I must of hit a nerve with my couple comment. Because he was in a couple, just not with me. Must of made him feel guilty for what we had been doing.

He didn't speak a word to me the whole time. Avoiding any eye contact with me. Nobody else noticed but I was acutely aware of how tense he was around me. When everyone decided we should go to a club I think he assumed I would go home but I needed to make him talk to me. Needed him not to be mad at me. I hated the fact he couldn't even bring himself to look at me.

As soon as we arrived in the club a gaggle of girls where by his side. Fawning all over him, and he wasn't declining their attention. Ash was no where to be seen and obviously not on his mind. I sat with Dre as he was talking to Ty dolla sign about the single.

"So, why so mysterious baby?" He smirks at me

"Me? Mysterious? Never" I smile back sweetly

"Hmmm I don't believe you. You have that look. The quiet ones are always the worse " he licks his lips at me

"She's far from quiet. This girls a star " Dre wraps his arm around my shoulders protectively

"She something special I can definitely see that" Ty flirted

"All these compliments are going to go to my head gentlemen" I smirk as I fan myself flirtatiously "your going to make me blush"

"I bet you look good with some rosy cheeks" he winks

"Austin! My man we where just talking about your single" Dre jumps up to break the tension as Austin walks over with a frown creased into his forehead.

"From what I heard you was talking about Rhiannon's rosy cheeks" he shot me a death stare. I was just thankful that he had finally took me on. I held his gaze until Dre slapped his back

"Just some banter my man" Dre chuckles, he looked fazed though. The situation must have thrown him off kilter. I stood to head to the toilet, they all stopped and watched me walk away. I checked myself in the mirror as I waited in the cue. Tracey, Dre's PA came over to stand with me while I waited.

"It's so crowded in that VIP area tonight. There's too many skanks hanging about. I came in here for a break. At least when Austin had Ash they stayed away" she rambled on

"Why where's Ash?" I tried to stay nonchalant

"Oh did you not hear? They broke up about three, four weeks ago. She's moved out. There's rumours she cheated on him... don't know how true that is "

"Oh. No I've not really asked so I'm guessing they wasn't making a big deal of it. No one ever tells me anything anyway" I joke

"I wish I didn't know everything, unfortunately that is my job . How's the new house? I would have thought he would have told you then. Boys hey?!"

"Nope, didn't say a word. But yeah it's great. Nearly finished decorating, so feels like home now" she nodded her head towards a now empty stall. I headed in and locked the door. Austin had split up with Ash before he came and got me sober. Still took me to a hotel and not his house. Always the mistress. But this meant he was free. Even if we were only fuck buddy's at least he's single now and doesn't have to feel guilty.
