“How are you?”

He was Adam. Standing behind them in the line to claim their cars. The world was dangerously tiny. Then again, where else would you expect to find the moment’s hot rising vocalist, if not at the ever popular dance club? The females loitering near the entrance had their cameras in action, snapping pictures of the singer. Damn that Kai, she silently cursed. If it was not for his participation in the social scene so actively.

She struggled to find her voice. But Kai beat her to it. ‘Oh hey, how are you doing?’ He reached out a hand to the other young man. They shook hands firmly.

‘You know each other?’ Adam seemed to notice the familiarity between their two bodies. She did nothing to hide the fact that she was in the company of Kai. If only she could summon the courage to speak up.

‘Yeah, Deedee and I go way back.’ Kai volunteered the information. She had no idea that the two males were acquainted. But nothing escaped Kai’s eyes even in the wee hours of the morning. ‘Oh, Adam and I met at some launch party of something. I forgot. And we were at that ridiculous eligible bachelor affair.’ He explained with an embarrassed shrug.

Adam laughed, his deep set eyes twinkled for a moment, then went dull again as he looked at Deedee.
