Being a Star (Isn't Easy)
Chapter Sixteen
A WEEK LATER
It had been a week since Vin had received the flesh wound, saving Ezra's life,
and none of them were any closer to knowing who the culprit was.
Since Ezra was gone, shooting a music video in town, and Buck along with Nathan
were watching over him, Chris figured it was the time to talk to Vin.
He found Vin standing in front of a window, looking outside. "What are you
doing? What if you get shot again?" Chris demanded.
Without looking at him, Vin replied, "I doubt I will. But, I want to keep a look
out, in case anyone is able to get by the gate and all again."
"I know you wanted to go with Ezra, but you're still healin'. It was better for
Nathan and Buck to go with him."
Vin snorted, "I wish Nate would get his head outta his ass! He's really startin'
to piss me off."
"I know." After a short pause, Chris continued, "About Ezra, you're dating him?"
"Yeah." Turning his head to the right, to see Chris, he asked, "Problem?"
"It could be. We have a rule of no dating the clients for a reason. You could
get distracted from your job, be too overprotective of Ezra."
Vin raised an eyebrow, not knowing how the hell he could be too overprotective.
"I know I broke the rules, but I couldn't help it. We love each other."
"Are you sure? Ya haven't known him that long. Besides, are you sure that he's
the "relationship" type?"
"Yes, Cowboy, I'm sure. I know he loves me. I can see the truth in his eyes. If
I have to make a choice between the company and Ez, it'll be no contest. It'll
be Ez every time."
Chris sucked in a breath, "You're serious."
"I told ya I was."
Chris nodded. "Well, I'm happy for ya. About time that ya found somebody," Chris
said as he delivered a pat to Vin's back.
Looking Chris in the eye, he smiled, "Thanks."
"I'm gonna go outside, check the perimeter. And, don't worry about Nate. He'll
get his head out of his ass soon."
Vin nodded as Chris walked away, he sure as hell hoped so. He didn't know how
much more of Nathan's attitude he could take. Especially since the man was
supposed to have changed it. He sighed, hoping time would hurry up. He'd feel
much better when Ezra showed up, and he could see that the man was unhurt.
If it wasn't for the stupid flesh wound, he would've gone with Ezra. For right
now, he would just have to content himself with watching the outside, at least
he would be doing something helpful.
