If it’s about Charlie, I’ve got all the time in the world.
I shrug. “I'm free now. Ceremony starts in thirty minutes.”
“It’s uh…kind of personal. Should we go somewhere?”
I glance at my brothers. “We can use his tent. It’s set up down here.”
I imagine what he wants to talk about on the short walk. Does he want to find out what the deal is with me and Charlie? Did she tell him she’s living with me? He better not be asking me for ‘advice’ as her ex-boyfriend.
“What's up?”
“I need advice.”
Fuck.
I sigh out loud and he holds up his hands. “I’m sorry. Chase told me you’re a lawyer.”
I blink. “You need…legal advice?”
“You review contracts?”
I specialize in them.
“Occasionally. Does this have anything to do with a trade?”
Please say yes.
“No. It’s modeling underwear.”
Of course it is.
“Would you take a look at the terms for me? I’d pay your regular rate.”
I shake my head. “Sorry, that’s not my expertise.”
He nods, but I know he doesn’t believe me since I thoroughly review all of Chase’s contracts.
“I thought maybe you could take a look. I feel like you really can’t trust anyone in the media biz, you know? Chase trusts you with his life so…”
“You know what, yeah, I could review them for you. Give me a call at the office on Monday.”
“Awesome. I owe you big. If there’s anything I can ever do for you—”
“There is,” I blurt out. “You can stay away from Charlie.”
He blinks and frowns like he's trying to remember the name. “Pepper’s friend?”
“Yes. She and I have history. And I want her back. For good this time."
He puts up his hands. “Noah. Hey, man, I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about.” The curtain to the tent opens behind Landon. Charlie’s eyes widen, taking in the sight of the two of us in here. “I'm not into Charlie.”
“Aren't you her date?" I grit, keeping my eyes on the girl behind him.
He looks over his shoulder awkwardly. “If I am…I wasn’t aware.”
I swallow hard, tearing my eyes from Charlie, and look at Landon. “I must have misunderstood.”
He holds up his hands defensively. “No worries. It uh… happens all the time.” He gives an awkward hello to Charlie and steps out.
