"Was it Drake?", Luis asked pulling me from my gaze.
"Um, yeah", I retorted.
"Who is Drake?", Francis asked.
I whipped my head around to look at him and noticed how he was studying me, his gaze dropping to my lips. Instinctively I nibbled on my bottom lip, but totally not to tease him. The look in his eyes though looked as if he thought I was. Get your shit together, Lynn!
"Drake is........", I trailed off, not really knowing how to reply to his questions.
"He's her boyfriend", Luis blurted out and i swear I almost snapped my neck when I glared at him.
"Ah! boyfriend", Francis tsked.
"Too bad.....",
"He's not really my boyfriend. We were just having a.......",
"Some problems", Luis blurted out again, before he leaned down and whispered in my ear. "Cool it Lynn. I have a feeling Mr Royal wants to get into your pants. Having a boyfriend, fake or not is detecting him",
My cheeks flushed but I heard Luis loud and clear.
"Yeah, problems", I agreed turning to Francis with a fake smile on my face. "We will be totally fine when I get home, he is taking me on a vacation and then we meeting up with my family and......",
"So, it's serious then", Francis stated and it took my mind a moment to realize that it wasn't a question. I bit my bottom lip and nodded my head. "Yep, totally serious",
Luis snorted next to me so that I could only hear, telling me that I just needed to shut up. I tucked my phone away and stared into my lap. "Where the hell is this jazz club?", Francis said it was only a few miles away.
But the longer we say here, the more I wanted to pull my phone out then read Drake's messages again. He sounded worried and I felt bad saying anything to him, no matter how confused I was. As far as Drake knows I have no idea of what he does for a living. I will text him, I think.

DRAKE'S POV.
"Did she say where she was going?", I interrogated Dakota. She was the one who told me that she saw Lynn with packed bags getting into an Uber this morning, but she hasn't said anything else. Knowing Dakota, she went over to speak to Lynn because she was a nosy person, but she wasn't saying shit to me right now and that was getting on my last fucking nerve.
Dakota shrugged curled up on the other side of the couch with a huge blanket, wrapped around her. I knew she was still calming down and going through withdraws but she should also know that I'm not going to stop bothering her until when she tells what the hell was said this morning.
"Dakota talk to me",
She let out a small giggle and shook her head. "Man you really have it bad for the hottie next door",
My irritation was at an all time high and I was seconds away from exploding on her but I was seriously trying to keep on my cool. "Dakota", I breathed as I sat down on the coffee table in front of her. "Will you please tell me what really happened this morning?, I can't really help it but wonder if I did something wrong to her last night",
Her eyes stared into mine for a long moment, studying me and then they changed to pity and rocks filled up my stomach.
"She knows", Dakota stated..
Confused I cocked an eyebrow at her. "Knows what?",
"I know too", She continued.
"Know what?", I asked louder and much more anger than I had intended to.
"What you do for a living?",
I felt all the blood drain from my face as I froze in place, staring at my little sister. My sister knows am a porn star. Lynn knows it too and she might have got the wrong impression of me. I had this feeling that it wasn't me being a porn star that annoyed Lynn. It was something else.
"I just found out few weeks ago", Dakota began. "And honestly I wasn't surprised, it actually makes sense with your good looks, your constant need to stay fit and then there's all gorgeous women around you", She went on then she looked around my living room.
"And let's not forget about this house and the car in your garage", She added.
I felt my jaw tighten, I wasn't ready to have this conversation with my sister but there was no going back.
"I did what I had to survive, Dakota", I spoke and that was the truth. She, more than anyone knows how true that statement was. We both left Chicago in a hurry .
While I got in the porn industry, Dakota got in with rich, powerful men. Our career paths were different yet they were the same.
"I know that D. I'm not judging you. I think it's quite exciting that my brother is this huge star. I mean I'm going to be watching anymore of them", She shivered and shook her head.
"But now I'm totally cool with it", She added.
I glared at her. "And Lynn?", I asked.
She said Lynn knew and that was the only person's response that I cared about.
She was looking at me with pity again and I wanted to throw up. That was a good look. Fuck! I knew I should have just spit it out but I was a fucking coward and then that phone call interrupted me.
"I could tell that she was totally freaked out by it, even if she didn't say as much. But D........ ", She paused to lean forward and took my hands in hers.
