Chapter 0348
“What the hell are you talking about?” Nicholas snapped back.
“You need to stop walking Piper around,” Julian said, firm. “It makes me look bad. She’s supposed to be my date, remember?”
“It’s after hours,” Nicholas said. “There shouldn’t be any cameras.”
““Shouldn’t be,“” Julian said. “You admit it. There could still be some.”
“You are being overly paranoid,” Nicholas said.
“And you aren’t being paranoid enough,” Julian countered. He looked at me. “If we want this to seem real, we need to keep up appearances even without the cameras. I don’t care what you two get up to behind closed doors
His gaze dips to my neck, where the love bites Nicholas left are still prominent.
“But when we are in public, even if it’s late, you have to respect that I’m Piper’s boyfriend,” Julian said.
Boyfriend? We’d never used that term before. We’d only been dating, or I was Julian’s favorite. But neither he nor 1, nor any of the producers, had gone so far as to call Julian my
boyfriend.
He didn’t back down. He didn’t take it back. He just glared at Nicholas like he planned to say it six or seven more times to stab him with the word.
“You are not her boyfriend,” Nicholas said, his voice dropping low and dangerous. A growl was hidden there, revealed around the edges. “You are fake dating. That is not the same.”
“Keep telling yourself that.” Julian’s lips quirked into a mocking smirk. He was baiting his brother, and protective and jealous Nicholas was falling for it.
“Julian,” I said, strained. My patience was thin. I’d already had a trying day, making Elva cry. I didn’t have the necessary calm to deal with these brothers and their deep–seated rivalry today. “Please stop antagonizing him.”
His smirk wavered a bit.
“And Nicholas,” I turned to him next. He seemed surprised that I would address him in this argument, but a moment later, he met my disapproving gaze with a steady one of his own.
“Piper.”
1 weaved my fingers together. My heart told me to go with Nicholas anyway. Our moments. were so stolen and rare, I collected each like precious gemstones. But I didn’t dare risk my fake relationship with Julian…
“Okay,” I said at once. For Nicholas, I was willing to throw caution to the wind. What could possibly happen that we wouldn’t be able to cover for? “I’ll go with you.”
