The split

Chapter 8

Once we got into his private room, I slowly but gently pulled my hand from his. He turned and looked at me and I looked at him. "So what did you want to talk about?" He asked licking his lips before a big goofy smile spread across his face. I don't know why he's smiling but at least he isn't cheesing, he has an open smile.

"Why are you smiling?" I asked not smiling and he shook his head still smiling before shrugging. "You know," I said seriously but not too serious. "Well I'm just happy you showed up to see me, and to talk to me. It means a lot to me that you're here." He said and I felt my face heat up as a smile I am fighting spread across my face anyway.

"I have been to one of your performances before but you didn't know because I didn't want you to." I said innocently and shyly as he raised his eyebrows. "Really? What performance?" He asked shocked but happy. "Your very first big one, I knew you were nervous and I knew how much it meant to you, so I went to be there for you although I never went up to you. I hid in the crowd and gave my support from afar and in the shadows."

"Why?" He asked and and I shrugged childishly. "I was mad at you and hurt, and although I was there when you needed me I didn't want you to know." I said and he just stared at me. "So why are you here now and letting me know? What has changed from then and now?" He asked and I stared into his eyes.

"Time has changed, I don't want to hold a grudge against you or continue down the path that we have been. I want closure, and I want to move on. I would prefer not to be here when we have this conversation. It's not all that private and I don't feel comfortable talking here." I said and he nodded.

"So maybe another time," I said as I tried to ignore the way he's staring at me, so passionately. "I'm just about done for tonight, so we can head over to my hotel room and talk because I feel like this is a conversation we need to have now. My hotel room is private, I would say your place but I don't know how private it would be there." He said and every bone in my body screamed go and my brain screamed no.

"Yea, your place is fine." I said against my better judgement. But honestly why wait when this can be over tonight? All I have to do is behave myself and stay on topic. "Alright lets  go," he said taking my hand again and he and his bodyguards escorted us out of the club. As soon as we were out of the club paparazzi were taking pictures of us and I hid my face knowing this will somehow get back to Don.

The ride to his place was just us, his bodyguards were in separate trucks so we can have some privacy. One truck drove in front of us and the other behind us. When we got to his hotel, only three of them rode up the elevator with us and then only two stayed outside of his door. As we walked in the suite I looked around not surprised it's really nice.

"So this is where you stay,......it's nice." I said without much excitement considering I've seen it all before. "Yea," He said walking into a bedroom and I followed. "So this closure thing you want to talk about, how far do you think it will go?" He asked and I smiled and shrugged. "We can go as far as saying we can start off as friends again." I said and he smirked and stared into my eyes. "How close of friends, friends friends or friends?" He asked and I froze.

I tried to speak but nothing came out, and my body wouldn't move. My chest tightened as my heart beat rapidly, and I became so confused. Then my body and mind snapped out of it and I took a deep breath realizing I wasn't breathing which caused my heart to beat fiercely and caused my chest to feel closed in.

"I-I have to go to the bathroom." I said trying to find a way out of his bedroom. "Private bathroom." He said pointing his hand at the door across the room. "Everything private for you right," I said before walking to the bathroom.
