Chapter 14

The week after Demi's scare, Jules & Apollo were flying to my show in Miami. I hadn't seen much of Apollo since he stopped needing my wife to care for him, but every time I saw Jules she gushed about how amazing he was. They were getting pretty serious & Demi was ecstatic for both of them. I could give a rat's ass because I still wasn't sure how I felt about him. Maybe I was still bitter that he kissed Demi, knowing she was married. Or maybe it was the fact that I never liked him when I'd see him in the gym years before. I promised Demi, though, that I would give him a chance & get to know him better, so I was going to try my best. That was the only reason I agreed to let them come to my show & come backstage.

I was backstage in my dressing room, relaxing before I had to take the stage, in Miami, when there was a knock on the door. Joe came in a moment later. "Hey. Jules here yet?" He asked as he walked into the room.

"No, but they just left the hotel so they should be here soon." I sat the guitar I had been strumming down on the stand next to the couch.

"So, I was talking to Greg & John & they are lining up a Latin America tour along with the UK." Joe grabbed a beer from the mini fridge & leaned on a counter.

"For when?" I asked, standing up & walking over to Joe. Just as he was lifting the beer up to his mouth I grabbed it & took a drink. "Thanks, man." I smirked at him & he rolled his eyes before grabbing another beer from the fridge.

"I don't know... in the spring I think."

"I don't want to be in another country when Demi is due. Why would they schedule it then?"

Joe gave me a sarcastic smirk. "Uh... maybe because they don't know that your wife is pregnant."

I looked at him sideways as I took a sip of my beer, then grinned at him. "Oh yea, that is true. I guess I should tell them, huh?"

Joe nodded with his eyebrows up then took a drink. "I'll let them know we should have a meeting. Maybe in the morning."

"Yea, that will work. Breakfast meeting before we head out." I nodded my head, then I heard another knock on the door. "Come in." I called out.

The door opened & Jules peeked her head in. "You decent?"

I laughed, rolling my eyes. "Yes."

She walked in the room, Apollo becoming visible behind her a moment later. I wasn't sure, but he looked really pissed off. He kept his eye on Jules as she walked to hug me. "I'm so excited to see your show." She said.

"I'm glad. I hope it's entertaining." I stepped toward Apollo, my hand extended. "Apollo. Good to see you, man."

"You, too." He replied, then let out a sigh, sounding annoyed.

I decided to ignore him & turned my attention back to Jules as Joe greeted Apollo. I couldn't help but notice he was cool with Joe. "How's your sister?" I asked, smiling, as I sat back on the couch, sitting my beer on the coffee table.

"Like you don't know. You've probably talked to her more than I have today. She told me you text or call her every hour." Jules sat on a stool near the couch, chuckling as she shook her head.

"It isn't every hour. She exaggerates."

"Well, don't be upset if she doesn't answer on Friday. She'll be at her shoot." Jules smiled at Apollo as he came to stand beside her.

"Shoot? What shoot?" I wrinkled my brows, trying to remember if Demi had told me about a photoshoot & I forgot. I couldn't find a memory of it, but that didn't mean anything. Once in a while, I forgot shit.
