Ezvin found himself genuinely enjoying Aiden's company. The rock star was not only handsome but also possessed an easygoing charm that made conversation flow effortlessly. At one point, Ezvin, unable to resist the allure of Aiden's ruby-studded jacket, asked if he could touch it. Aiden's affirmative response brought a genuine smile to Ezvin's face, further lightening the mood between them.
As they chat, Ezvin shared about his work as a songwriter, even sending Aiden links to some of his past compositions. Though Aiden seemed to have moved beyond his musical career, they agreed to hang out sometime.
Their interaction was briefly interrupted when Sage arrived, wrapping an affectionate arm around Aiden's waist. Observing their closeness, Ezvin instinctively stepped back a bit, respectful of their relationship. He couldn't deny the allure of the 'rock-star effect,' but he also knew where to draw the line.
When Jensen joined them, Ezvin noticed the immediate shift in his demeanor. Ezvin managed only a simple "You’re welcome" before Jensen turned to walk away. A wave of regret washed over him. He had been the one to initiate their first conversation, to ask for Jensen's number, to suggest the date. And now, he was just letting Jensen leave.
He glanced at Maksim, across the room, speaking softly with Alina. His brother’s warning was fresh in his mind. There was no knowing what or who he referenced, but Maksim was far more connected to that world than Ezvin. He should trust his brother’s judgement.
Shit. He grit his teeth and hurried after Jensen, catching him at the door.
“I’m sorry I’ve been weird,” he said, voice earnest. “I am really glad you came. Can I call you after this?” He shared an apologetic smile, hoping to convey the sincerity and desire to continue to explore whatever was budding between them.
