Pearl woke up to him gathering his things. "Good morning." Pearl said, half awake. "Hey...morning. Sorry. I gotta go." Dylan said.
"You have to go?" She looked at her phone. "But it's like 6:30 in the morning?" "I know, I'm sorry. I have to be somewhere" "Ok" said Pearl. And she heard her door close behind him. "Well, I guess that's that." She said out loud. That was not the wake up she expected. He gave her the morning ditch. And she deserved it. She never should have went through with that. It seems he was either completely terrified that it happened and felt awkward or he was just using her and bailed. Either way, it made her feel like shit. She fell back into bed and back asleep. She woke up at noon. She never slept in that late. These last few weeks had been a whirlwind. She had managed to sleep with a movie star, her boss and one of her best friends who was also a virgin. And the virgin ditched her right after it. When she listed itRelated chapters

The first set went well and the club was packed to capacity. Still no sign of Rhys and Jason. Pearl went down to the bar to get a water. "Hey there Pearl with the pretty eyes." She turned around and there was Rhys and Jason. She wasn't going to screw this up for the guys so she ate her pride and said "hey there." And smiled. Rhys had a beanie and sunglasses on. He was trying to look low key but he was getting a ton of looks. "You guys can hang backstage if things get too crazy out here." Pearl said. Just then she felt someone push into her. She turned and there was Dylan. "Hey there, movie star. I hope after all this we're still cool. I appreciate you coming given the circumstances" and he smiled and put his arm around Pearl. "I don't know what you mean, man." Rhys said. "You didn't tell him?" Dylan sneered. "Can I talk to you?" Pearl pulled Dylan away and over to the side stage. "What the fuck are you doing?" Pearl was furious. "Why are you making a scene when less than an hour ago

Pearl chased after Rhys, "Wait! Hey. Don't leave like this." She said breathlessly when she caught up with him. "It's ok. I meant it. I understand, it's only been a few weeks. You owe me nothing. Not even an explanation.""I don't want to be with anyone else right now, tonight, at this moment, but you" Pearl said "You brought Jason here. You stood up for me. I don't want you to go.""Do you love him?" Rhys asked again. "I care about him. I'm not in love with him." Rhys searched her eyes, begging them for the truth. "Do you care about me in that way?" He asked. "I am falling more and more for you every day. You are light. And full of life. You're an incredible human. Yes. I care very deeply for you." Pearl said."I believe you. I believe you do." Rhys answered. They got into the cab and left.Dylan ran out into the parking lot, but Pearl and Rhys were gone. John wasn't far behind him. "They left" Dylan said, still facing forward

"Good morning." Pearl said as she wiped the sleep from her eyes."Good morning." Rhys said as stretched and stood up. "How are you?""I'm good. Thank you again. For everything." Pearl said, still feeling uneasy the previous night."No need to thank me." Rhys said. "My flight leaves at 3 today. I'm headed to Ontario for a week to get acclimated with the location and do a first script read through with the cast.""Ah, ok. I'm sure you're excited about that." Pearl tried to hide her disappointment."Yes and no. Kinda bittersweet. It's always exciting beginning a new season. But I'm gonna miss what I have beginning here, too." He winked and kissed her cheek. That made her feel a little happier about it."I will get out of you hair, then." Pearl said as she gathered her things."When I get back into town, let's spend some time together, sound good?" Rhys asked, putting his hands on her shoulder and looking in he

It was still dark as Pearl rolled from the side of the giant four post bed and tiptoed into the master bathroom. Everything had happened so fast. She looked in the mirror, replaying it in her mind. Her abrupt attempt to leave. David following her out into the street and kissing her, the rain soaking them through. Him telling her to get in his car and out of the rain. How they sat there in silence until David started the engine and drove her to his house. She had protested but he didn't react to it at all. How they walked up the stairs, through his door, and without saying a word, he began removing her wet clothes, layer by layer, and never taking his eyes off of hers. The silence between them had been deliberate and intense. She stood there, naked in his foyer, her hair wet and her makeup running down her face. The look he gave her as he took her hand and led her to his bedroom, still in silence. How he had made love to her with the intensity and desire that only he could. "I'm not

Pearl walked into the office still feeling a little shaky from her night and morning. Her assistant greeted her in her office and went over what she had missed on Friday and her schedule for the current day. "Hey there, glad to see you're feeling better. I heard you took a sick day Friday." David said as he walked into her office. Pearl's pulse raced. "I am feeling much better, thank you." Pearl said looking down, trying to show her flushed face. "I thought you were off this week?" She asked. "I decided I had some things that required my attention here." He replied with a smile that only she would notice. "I'll see you at the meeting today." And he left. "Could he be ANY hotter?" Ashley said as she watched his tight backside in his tailored suit walk away. "The man is the definition of sexy. I bet he's like 50 Shades when he's in the bedroom. He can take me to his red room any day." She joked. Pearl acted liked she ignored it, but she had to stifle a grin.She exhaled and

John decided the band should get together sooner than later and suggested they have a quick meeting that evening. Pearl agreed and went home after work to relax a little before hand. She ran a bath and tried to clear her head.This entire month had been a rollercoaster ride. Spending most of her adult life with one man who barely showed any kind of adoration or care to having 3 men claiming she was worth loving and valued, was not something she was prepared for. She really didn't possess the skills to manage this properly and she knew it. She was naive. She was vulnerable and coming from a place of serious self doubt and years of damage. She was between wanting to be the defensive and isolated woman she only knew herself to be and this newly empowered and desired woman she barely recognized in the mirror. Add to that an opportunity in the works to really do something with her music. Her ife was turning around for the better and she struggled feeling she truly deserved it.

"Hey. Can I come in for a minute?" Dylan asked as he walked up to Pearl."I'm not thrilled about it, but I don't have a choice currently. I know we need to work together on these songs. Just know that what you said and how you behaved the other night is borderline unforgivable. I don't know what you hoped to accomplish putting on that show, but if it was to make me resent you, mission accomplished." Pearl said, as direct and confident as possible."I understand that." Dylan replied, as he grabbed his acoustic guitar from his car.They made their way into Pearl's apartment. "I wrote a song . I'd like to bounce it off of you, see what we can make happen." It was obvious Dylan was trying to keep on task and casual. He began playing and singing,"I close my windowsTo keep out memoriesBut I would understandIf you still seep through the poresOddly effervescentI hide my secrets

Pearl emailed Jason at Epic and they set the meeting for Friday. Three days of planning was hardly enough time but Pearl knew it was an opportunity they couldn't afford to pass up. After getting the guys on board, she took her lunch break and worked on regaining her focus at work. Her life was a bit insane right now and definitely not what she had been used to."Good morning." A voice said from behind her. David looked amazing. He was in a tailored suit and he had let his hair grow out a little. He was looking less Robert Redford and more Brad Pitt these days. He was really beautiful."Good morning." Pearl replied, trying to keep it professional."Are we still on for later tonight?" David asked. "Yes." Pearl began and figured she would let him know about Friday "I'm going to need to take Friday off. I have a meeting in New York with a record producer. I fly out early Friday morning and won't be back until Sunday. Ashley will cover everything for me."
