Extremely Famous by Heather Leigh Read Free Book Online

for you to be an unbelievable ass last night, or for you to come in here drunk, but I had no choice. We’re not avoiding this conversation.”
    Drew squeezes his eyes shut. “Fuck. Let me shower first.” He stands up and exhales, resigned to his fate.
    Twenty minutes later, Drew seems a little more human. A hot shower and a cup of coffee have done wonders for his crappy attitude. The pain medicine probably didn’t hurt either. We sit next to each other on the couch, neither one of us knowing what to say.
    I guess I’ll start. “Drew, you must know that I’m not interested in Adam. I was going to tell you about bumping into him at the café but never got a chance.”
    He stil l just sits there watching me, offering no insight as to what he’s thinking, his neutral mask in place.
    “I ditched him at the coffee shop but he chased me onto the street.” That gets a reaction out of Drew, and not a good one. He looks murderous. “I told him to leave me alone, that I didn’t want to be photographed with him. He followed me home insisting that we talk.”
    “He did what?” His voice is low and scary.
    Ignoring him I continue. “When we got to the front of the building, I told him to leave. That his stupid ex-girlfriend tried to destroy our relationship and I didn’t want him fucking it up again.”
    Drew stills, his hard eyes softening some.
    “He was yelling on the street Drew. How Kiera ruined his relationship, that she dumped him for you. I felt it was better to take it up here where he could unload his feelings without people watching us.” I reach out and put my hand on his knee. “I love you, Drew. I told him that flat out. He just wanted someone to talk to about all the shit that went down with Kiera. Don’t forget, he was a victim of the manipulation just like we were.”
    “Did you tell him that we’re getting married?” His hand finds mine and touches my ring.
    “No. It’s none of his concern,” I say firmly. He flinches from my words . I look directly into his eyes. “But I will if you want me to.”
    Drew’s face registers surprise, and his hand clenches around mine. “Sydney, I don’t want you near him,” he says darkly. “I don’t trust him at all. He wants you. Just like Kiera, he’s trying to break us up. I can’t believe that fucker followed you home.”
    A laugh bubbles up from my throat. “Drew, he doesn’t want me. He had plenty of time and opportunity to ask me out before I ever met you and never did. He’s a friend, or he was a friend. I have to tell you I’m not feeling very friendly to him right now after subjecting me to all of this media speculation.”
    “Sydney, opportunity or not, he wants in your pants. He probably only started actively pursuing you after he found out you were with me.” Drew is dead serious as he says this. “I don’t want you alone with him, ever.”
    “What the hell is it with you two anyway!” I yell. “I’m sick of being in the middle of whatever testosterone-fueled pissing match you have going on! Stop! Just stop it! I’m marrying you , you win okay? Adam loses and you win, so cut it out!”
    I see the corner of Drew’s mouth quirk up and it makes me smile. Despite the tense conversation, we’re both laughing.
    “Testosterone-fueled pissing match , Syd? Where do you come up with this shit?” He shakes his head.
    “I don’t know, I guess I’m just that charming .” I get up and sit on his lap, facing him. “You know I only want you, right? There is no one else. There will never be anyone else.” I lean in hesitantly and press my lips to his.
    Drew wavers for a moment, then wraps his arms around me and slants his mouth against mine, his decision to forgive me made. I melt into his chest and let him in, opening my mouth to allow his tongue to explore every bit of me.
    I shift on his lap and he moans. “Syd, I have to be somewhere soon. Don’t tempt me.”
    “I know,” I say as I shift again, dragging another guttural groan
