Noah stepped forward before looking back. “You coming?”
Lola couldn’t shake the foreboding feeling. “Noah, where are we?”
“Somewhere safe. Come on.”
She let his evasion go as she followed him past the smiling doorman. A woman looked up from a desk, but she didn’t stop them as Noah stepped up to the gold-faced elevators. Once inside, he hit the button for the top floor.
“This is Drew’s building, isn’t it?” Lola ran a hand through her hair and blew out a breath.
Noah shot her a guilty smile. Yes, guilty. Because he’d deliberately taken her to the one place she wouldn’t want to go. The one person. Her mind continued reeling from Asher’s words, and she couldn’t deal with Drew right now.
But Asher’s words continued on a loop through her mind.You think Drew actually sees you?
It was the same question she’d asked herself.
Yet, she didn’t turn back. Instead, she followed Noah into a wide open penthouse. Windows looked out on the city, illuminated by what seemed like a million tiny lights.
Most of the place was dark, but light filtered out beneath one of the bedroom doors.
Noah went straight for the kitchen and pulled two bottles of water out of the fridge, throwing one to her.
She caught it and busied herself drinking as her eyes took in the fancy penthouse.
“I have to text Dax really quick and tell him I left.”
“Dax?” Her eyes widened. The third man hadn’t been some random man named Nelson. It was Dax Nelson, one of the most prodigious musicians in the world, a man as mysterious as he was talented.
Noah cursed. “It seems, Lola, you weasel all the Rockstars Anonymous secrets out of me.”
“Rockstars Anonymous?”
He cursed again. “I’m just going to shut up now.”
“That would be a nice change.” Drew’s voice rolled through the room like a tidal wave, threatening to take her under the surface.
The water bottle crinkled as her hand tightened around it. Drew’s gaze didn’t leave her face. His eyes, so different from his brother’s, held an intensity in their blue depths.
“Well…” Noah looked between them. “Seems I’ve been so much of a nuisance today I may as well go do the unthinkable. I’m off to wake the preggers woman to run through our new song one final time. Check on me later to make sure I’m not dead.” He whistled as he walked toward one of the bedrooms.
Neither Drew nor Lola spoke until they heard the door shut.
Lola didn’t know what she’d expected when she faced him again. The last time she’d seen Drew, she kicked him out of her room so she could talk to Asher. And the time before… she brought a finger to her lips, wondering if it was possible to still feel his warmth.
He stepped toward her before stopping and looking away. “What…” He cleared his throat. “What are you doing here?”
“I was out with Brooke and…” She closed her eyes. “And Asher.”
“Noah told me he was in town.”
Lola nodded. “He came because of the article about us.”
Drew rubbed the back of his neck. “He flew all the way here from Florida for that?”
“To check on me.”
“Ah, I see.”
“You said you wanted to talk.” She pulled herself up onto a stool. “So, talk.”
