close, he had the deepest blue eyes—so blue that I wanted to sit and stare into them all night. With his medium brown hair, a bit different from Damien’s and a bit of a mess on the top, he had pure boyish charm. Unlike Damien, he actually had a shirt on.
Damien cleared his throat. “Come here, little brother. Let me introduce you to my roommate, Sydney.”
The guy walked over to Damien’s side and looked down to the ground. What was up with this guy? “This shy guy is my little brother and lead singer, Sebastian.”
He finally looked up, and I stuck my hand out to him. “Hi, Sebastian. I’m Sydney Summers. It’s nice to meet you.” We shook hands. “You have an amazing voice, but I have to admit, I would love to see more of your face while you’re singing.”
He looked down at his shoes and then back up at me. “Sure.”
Damien put his arm around his brother and then ruffled his hair. “Don’t mind him, he’s just extremely shy. But I wanted to introduce him to you so you know him when he comes to the apartment.”
“Cool, thanks.”
Shaina nudged me on the arm. I guess she wanted me to introduce her.
“Damien, this is one of my friends from the salon, Shaina. Damien and Sebastian, meet my gal.” I leaned away a little so they could all shake hands.
“Well, aren’t you going to introduce me to the rest of the table?” Damien raised his eyebrows. No doubt the little man-whore was checking out the merchandise. But he wouldn’t get too far because Mags had already set her sights on him. It stung a little bit. If he were a different kind of guy, it would really hurt. But I knew he wasn’t good for me. I needed someone who did attachments and was all hearts and flowers. Even though he had become somewhat of a gentleman, I knew this was a quality he wouldn’t have.
I did the introductions, and each time, my friends took turns telling him how great the band sounded. I could have sworn I saw his head getting bigger. It was going to be so inflated by the time he left tonight that he wouldn’t be able to get it through the front door.
“Hey, Syd, I’m going to go out back and smoke before our next set starts. You wanna come with me and keep me company?”
I wondered why he would possibly want me to go with him. He had plenty of girls here that wanted to throw themselves at his feet and have a million babies with him.
Pointing to myself, I raised an eyebrow. “Me?”
“Yeah, you.”
“Sure, I suppose.” I grabbed my water off the table and followed him through the bar and into the back parking lot.
As he lit his cigarette, I couldn’t help but stare at him and the way his lips caressed the edges. Smoking wasn’t my thing, but I had to admit it looked sexy as sin on him.
“So I wanted to ask you a question.” Oh, lord. I could only imagine what kind of question was going to roll off his lips.
“Yes?” I prompted him.
“I’ve been eyeing your friend Mags and she wants to get together after the show if you know what I mean.” He took another drag and blew it out while I sipped down some of my water. The water was helping me from getting too tipsy.
“Really? You are such a player, Damien. Do you always have to have a woman in your bed?” I rolled my eyes at him.
“Yeah, sometimes two, as a matter of fact.” He winked at me, and I felt a little bile rise in my mouth.
“Honestly, I don’t care what you do. To each his own. If that’s what is going to make you happy, then so be it. I honestly don’t even know why you would ask for my opinion. Please just don’t screw up Mags and my friendship. You know I have to work with her every day.” I would step off my soap box for now. I had said my piece.
“You could always join us?”
“You disgust me, Damien. Hell no.” I was done with this conversation. But with the way he set my body ablaze, I could have stayed out there all night and talked to him.
“Well, you can’t blame a guy for trying.” He flipped his cigarette
