“Izzy?” Nikki started, but Chase jumped in with introductions. “Eli my man, did I miss your show?” Chase asked. “Nah, I just couldn’t risk someone else talking up my girl before I could,” he said with a grin. “Your girl?” Izzy whispered, her head flicking between the two men standing in front of her. Eli spotted Nikki and offered up his hand, “Hey I’m Eli, I work with Chase.” “Eli, nice to meet you,” Nikki said trying to keep her tone friendly, when all she wanted to do was interrogate this guy to wheedle out his intentions with HER girl. He didn’t get to lay claim to her until he had earned it. “Well, I better get backstage, I’m up in a few,” he said, turning to Izzy he reach his hand up and tucked a stray hair behind her ear. He let his finger trace lightly down her cheek, “I’ll be back angel, promise.”
