day.”
Xander doesn’t waste any time taking a seat next to Raven. He slings an arm over her chair and I’m surprised when she cuddles up next to him. She doesn’t exactly come across as the cuddling type. I notice that Xander also pulls her close to him. If I didn’t know better and had just met them I’d think they were a couple.
When Leo takes a seat on the other side of Nic I brace myself for some kind of ridiculous or obnoxious comments.
“ Nic hasn’t joined the mile high club yet. Maybe Harper can help him out.” He laughs at his own joke but Nic just glares at him.
Looking a bit uncomfortable, Leo slumps in his chair. “Just kidding, Bro.”
“So what’s your friend Brooke been up to?” Leo glances in my dire ction.
“Same old Brooke stuff. Work. Sleep. Probably more sleeping than working. Why are you so interested?”
Leo shrugs. “She got a boyfriend?”
I laugh. “What do you think?”
He shakes his head like he really doesn’t have a clue.
“She slept with you a few days ago. She doesn’t have a boyfriend.”
Nic laughs. “Fucking a guy in a band and having a boyfriend are definitely not mutually exclusive.”
“Brooke isn’t attached,” I assure him. “And I don’t think she wants to be any time soon.”
“That’s cool,” Leo says.
When I look over at Raven and Xander I can see they’ve fallen asleep in each other’s arms. They look peaceful together.
“I think they’ve got the right idea,” Nic whispers in my ear.
“I have to admit, a nap does sound tempting.”
Nic taps his shoulder. “It’s not much of a pillow but it’s all yours.”
“Thanks but I’m okay.” I lean back in my chair and close my eyes.
As I begin the drift off to sleep I can feel my body swaying closer to Nic. I’m not sure I want to lay my head on his shoulder but I’m too sleepy to stop myself. When my head finally rests on him he lays his head on mine. It feels a lot more comfortable than I want it to.
I’m much too tired to give it any more thought. I decide to take Brooke’s advice for once in my life and be young, go with the flow and not overthink every moment of my life.
I just enjoy Nic’s warmth until I fall asleep.

“Can I talk to you for a minute?”
Raven eyes me like she usually does with equal parts contempt and suspicion. “It depends.”
“On what?”
“Are you talking to me as a reporter or just talking?”
“Just talking.”
She heaves an exaggerated sigh. “Sure, why not. It’ll be my fun for the day.”
“I’m glad I can entertain you.”
“So what’s up?”
I’m not sure how to ask what I want to ask. I’m not even sure why I want to ask it. But I want to know if she’s sleeping with Nic. I’m not sure why it bothers me so much. Nic sleeps with a lot of girls. But I know he doesn’t care about them. I can tell he cares about Raven. All of the guys do. I’m not even sure why that makes a difference.
“Why do you do —what you do?”
She gives me a sly little smile. “And what exactly is it that I do that you’re so curious about?”
I had a feeling she was going to make me say it. Kind of like Risky Business . How are you ever going to do it if you can’t say it?
“Why do you sleep with the band?”
She laughs. “Because I can.”
Not exactly the answer I was looking for. I’m actually not sure what I was looking for but I feel like I’ve made a big mistake even thinking that Raven would have a serious conversation with me. “Maybe I’d better go.”
“Sit down.”
Raven isn’t laughing anymore. She’s dead serious. I sit on the bed next to her.
“I’ve been with the band since they first got started. That was twelve years ago. Before anyone knew who Nic Rayne was and nobody ever heard of Always Rayne. We’ve all been together since we were kids. We all grew up in the same shitty neighborhood. We all had even shittier parents. We basically all raised ourselves. The guys all had musical talent.
