GIO (Interracial Rockstar Romance) - Page 80

I pushed him away. “Really, Midnight?”

“It’s been ages, baby.” He patted my arm. “I missed you. It’s been too long since you’ve stood in front of me.”

“Not long enough to be embracing me.” Smiling, I straightened my shirt.

Midnight looked off in the distance, watching Simone further down the hallway. “So, that’s her?”

“Yeah.”

He whistled as she walked around the corner. “What are you doing, Gio? You know damn well you can’t handle all that ass.”

“Stop looking at her ass.”

Midnight laughed. “Shit. If you think no one’s going to look at that big ass just because you lay up next to it, then you’re in for a rude awakening, baby. Shit. Her ass is so fat, I could see how big it was from the back. Shit. There isn’t any dress or shirt on this earth that’s going to stop people from looking at that.”

I frowned at him.

“Fine, Gio. I’ll stop looking at her ass.” He shook his head. “Come on, baby. Let’s go on a walk. I want to see that train set you’re always playing with.”

“Cool.” I needed to give Simone some space. We’d just had our first little disagreement. Unfortunately, I knew neither one of us would compromise. She thought I would just sit back as she dealt with her creepy manager. I was confident that I could get that motherfucker out of my house and away from her life all by myself.

After hearing about him groping my staff, I didn’t want him in the same room with Simone by herself. Guys like that didn’t get sexual gratification over lust and pleasure. They got off from cruel control and pushing the line.

But, you won’t have any more control over Simone. I don’t care how mad she gets at me. You must go.

“Yeah.” I nodded at Midnight. “Let’s go. I want to talk to you about something anyway.”

“What?”

“Simone’s going to need a new manager.”

Midnight stopped in the center of the hallway. “She’s dropping Ru?”

“Yes.”

He leaned his head to the side.

“She will.”

“Because you’re telling her to?”

“Yes.”

Midnight shook his head and walked off. “What are you doing?”

“He’s fucking rapey. I don’t like him around her. “

“And what does she think?”

“She...kind of agrees.”

“Sounds like you don’t truly know. I’m not getting in the middle of Ru and you.”

“Isn’t that the reason why you came here?”

“No. I came here to make sure you didn’t hurt him, not to help you gain an advantage in a love triangle.”

“Hey, this isn’t a love triangle. Simone has no feelings for him.”

“Are you sure about that? They’ve been working together for five years. Emotions grow.”

“No.”

“That could be why you’re uneasy about him.”

“No.”

“I’m just saying. Are you thinking rationally?”

“Ru got drunk and groped women on my staff. He’s breaking shit.”

Midnight shrugged and took his time going up the steps. “That’s how some guys do it.”

“Do what?”

Midnight huffed and leaned against the wall. “I thought you had an elevator?”

“Do what, Midnight?”

“Some guys grab chicks’ ass. It doesn’t mean he’s a danger to the community.”

“If he’s grabbing chicks’ ass, then he is a danger to the community.”

“She’s got your nose open.”

“That doesn’t matter.”

“So, you’re not arguing against it?”

“I’m into her.”

“You got that ass and didn’t know what to do with yourself. Now, you’re running around trying to possess it, roaring at anyone that’ll get close. You know lions do shit like that? They’re territorial. But look, baby, we’re not lions. We’re not animals in the wild. You don’t have to piss on her.”

“This is your big advice? I’m being a lion and trying to piss on her?”

“You get what I’m saying. You say Ru is being possessive of her, but it sounds like you’re doing the same thing.”

Midnight’s words hung in my mind as we went to my train room and I showed him around. David ended up bringing us some drinks as we played with the trains, racing each other through the different cities. At least two hours passed.

By the time I headed to my bedroom, I was a little tipsy and confused at how I’d handled the situation with Simone. Maybe I was being too controlling. I still couldn’t see myself compromising, but I hoped to have a change of heart when I woke up.

But if not, I going to kick his ass out of here and make sure he stays far away from her.

When I entered, she lay fast asleep in the bed. I undressed, got under the fur blankets, and held her.

Moaning softly, she rolled over and lay in my arms.

I kissed her forehead. “I’m sorry.”

Surprising me, she scooted in closer to me and whispered, “I’m sorry too.”

“We’ll figure it out.”

“We will.”

Simone

Music is spiritual.

The music business is not.

The next morning, I rolled over, reaching for Gio, finding his arm and then broad chest with my hands. A little bit of sunlight streamed through the edges of the curtains, but darkness spread over most of the room. The blankets covered our bodies as we smoothed against the other.
