53.

I try to be quiet as I sneak out of Edward's Hotel room. This time we're in some big city, and I happened to have an event here while Edward has a big concert here tomorrow. We made sure to meet up and do whatever we do best: fuck and satisfy each other's cravings.

No one but us knows, still. Angela has asked me a couple of times why I'm acting funny. I still haven't told her and I'm not planning to.

I tiptoe past some hotel rooms, most doors closed. Except for the last one.

I hear the voices and they are very familiar.

"I don't know why they think they're hiding their fucking around," says one.

"I don't know either but I sure as fuck don't like it." Voice number two belongs to Kate, Edward's manager.

"Why not, Kate? He's happier than I've seen him in a long time. For a while I actually thought he was gay," says Kate's girlfriend, Maggie.

"Sooner or later they'll get caught, and his image will be ruined. His whole image is him being the single guy. Every woman out there, whether they are going to his concerts or they're just buying merchandise, believes they might just have a chance with him. His single status is what fills up his bank account, and ours. If that gets ruined, you better count on his whole career being ruined."

"Aren't you a little pessimistic?" Maggie replies.

"No. I'm realistic. It's what will happen. I just need to figure out what to do to separate them."

With that, I finally hurry up and move past the hotel room, my mind made up.

There is no way I will ruin his career.
