“We could stop by tomorrow,” Jake said. “I have to say I’m kind of intrigued.”
“Great! I’m not shooting anything for a few weeks now so I can show you around.”
“Right, well I’m off to take a shower and call my builder while you two discuss pornos,” Sawyer announced, shaking his head in amusement as he walked out of the room.
“So how’s he really been doing?” I asked Jake once Sawyer was out of earshot.
“A lot better.” Jake told me a few months ago that Sawyer had been having nightmares, and despite knowing his stepdad was in prison in a whole other country he couldn’t seem to stop looking over his shoulder at the slightest sound. “The sentencing helped I think.”
“And what about being ‘out’? He seems a lot more comfortable with the idea these days.”
“This is going to sound corny as shit but I’m so damn proud of him. Last week we walked through a crowd of press and he didn’t let go of my hand once. Doesn’t sound like much but it was a huge breakthrough for him.”
“I think it’s great. You guys were made for each other.”
“Do you think you’ll ever find that?” he asked, curiosity forcing his eyebrows together. “You know, being in the industry you’re in?”
“Well I’m sure as shit not looking for it.” Jake flashed me a surprised, somewhat dubious look and I just shrugged. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for you guys and what you have together, but I don’t want that shit. It’s way too complicated.”
What felt like sadness panged in my chest and I didn’t understand why. I spoke the complete truth. I didn’t want to get close to anyone, more importantly I didn’t want anyone to get close to me, so my reaction coupled with how I felt when I found them snuggling in bed together this morning confused me.
“So how are the rest of the guys?” I asked, forcing a less serious subject change.
“Isaac’s loved up with Elle, but then I’m sure you know that from her.”
“Yeah,” I agreed. “She tells me everything. And by everything I mean everything.”
“Well please don’t feel like you need to relay it to me,” he replied, feigning a shudder. “Darren’s moved to Philadelphia to be near Dana’s family. We’re hoping to visit soon to meet the baby.”
“She’s had it?”
“Yeah. A girl – Poppy. She’s almost eight weeks old. Oh, and Gavin’s going to be a daddy too.”
“No shit! They set a date for the wedding yet?”
“They’ve brought it forward to next spring. Kerry doesn’t want to have the baby before they’re married.”
“What about Matt? He still in love with Belle?” Like we could ever forget her name after Matt’s ‘It’s like Elle but with a B,’ comment.
“No,” Jake laughed. “Lasted longer than I expected though. Two whole months.”
“What did he do?”
“He said the ‘m’ word.”
“Marriage?”
“Ménage.”
I threw my head back and laughed. Now that was the Matt we all knew and loved. He’d been with more women than I’d taken shits and not one of them had ever been able to hold his attention for longer than an orgasm.
“Look I’d best be off,” I said before he had a chance to probe me any further. “Just popped round to say hi, but I’ll call you later about a time for dinner. Say bye to Saw for me.”
“Sure, mate. Talk to you later.”
Walking back out to my car, I smiled. It was great having them back in town and I hoped they stayed a while. I’d never really had anyone who I considered a close friend growing up, but now, thanks to Elle, I didn’t just have friends, but a family too.
I arrived at the studio a little early, before Ivan in fact. So, with nothing else to do, I pulled out my phone and did my daily Twitter scroll through.

They went on forever. This was the kind of stuff that filled up most of my feed on all my social media sites, and also the kind that never got responses. Sometimes some jumped out at me though, from seemingly genuine fans rather than fucking psychos, and I tried to reply as often as I could.
