hanging in the air between us.
    “Why not?” Aamir asked, giving me a puzzled look. He looked so sincere
that I almost believed he had no idea what I was talking about for a moment.
Almost.
    “Look, Aamir ,
I don’t know what your deal is, but sending us to the Arkansas House was
really, really messed up of you. I don’t think I can forgive you for that, and
I think any reasonable person would feel the same way.”
    “Wait, what are you talking
about?” he said.
    “Are you kidding me?” I
could feel the anger burning behind my eyes. It was one thing to put my
friends’ lives in danger. It was another thing to play dumb. “I don’t have time
for this,” I spat, turning on my heel to walk back towards the stage door. I’d
get the merch another time.
    “Wait, Bailey!” Aamir grabbed my wrist, pulling me so that I turned around
to face him. There was that shocking spike of feeling again. I pulled my wrist
away, quickly, fearfully.
    “Look, if you don’t like me,
fine. Say so. But don’t go making wild accusations that I don’t even
understand. Just tell me you don’t like me and I’ll go.” His voice wasn’t
angry, but firm. Even his look told me he was near wit’s end.
    “You really don’t know what
I’m talking about,” I murmured, searching his face for an answer. He just shook
his head. I suddenly wondered how much he knew about any of it, if he even did
know anything about all the werewolves and demons and the so called “Other
Realm.” But his touch told me otherwise.
    He shook his head, his eyes
filled with hurt and concern. Whether he was lying or not, he had me in the
palm of his hand.
    “They...attacked us,” I
said, trying to be careful not to mention anything about Marie’s freakish
powers. It wasn’t the time or place, and there was always the chance that I was
wrong and he knew nothing about his ex’s magical weirdness. “There was a riot
and everything.”
    His brows furrowed, and for
the first time I thought I saw a hint of anger in his face. “Are you serious?”
he said. “Dammit, I’m so sorry Bailey.”
    “Yeah, well...” I said,
shrugging and turning my head.
    “Why did they do that to
you?”
    “I don’t know, no reason
really. I don’t think Marie liked me.” It was the truth. I had no clue on earth
as to why that happened. 
‘ And if
it didn’t, this tour might’ve stood a chance ,’ I thought bitterly.
    “I can’t believe this...I
mean, I knew they were punks and everything but I didn’t think they took it that
seriously...” He looked away and sighed. “I understand why you don’t want to
talk to me. Honestly, you’re too good for me. I’m going to call those punks up
and give them a piece of my mind...” he said between gritted teeth. He looked
different angry, but I liked it—it was rough. I couldn’t fight my
attraction to him—every new expression burned a raw desire in my stomach.
    “But please, just think
about it, okay? I’m not asking you to run away with me to a foreign country,
I’m asking you to be our band manager. We’ll pay you and everything,” he
smiled. “And if Bad Moon ends up touring again, you’ll just have that much more
experience to help them out.”
    I bit my lip, remembering
the plush hardness of his mouth against mine. It was ridiculous. He was
offering me a job, but all I could think about was making out with him. My
priorities had definitely gone down the toilet since this tour started.
    “I’ll think about it,” I
said, too touched by his offer (and his hotness) to outright deny him. Maybe he
really didn’t know anything about Marie’s powers. Besides, it would be awesome
if I could tour the country, even if it wasn’t the way I originally planned...
    “Thank you,” he said, bowing
his head as he reached for my hand and brought to his lips like a goddamn
prince.
    “You can’t just go around
doing things like that,” I murmured.
    “Pardon?” Aamir asked, lifting his face. I shook my
