Deleted Scenes - It Should Have Been Us Book One

{James’ POV}

I hate it when she insists on wearing these masks when we’re out on dinner dates. And how we always have to go out on midnight dates just to avoid people from seeing us together. I appreciate the privacy but sometimes, I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs how she belongs to me. I feel the need to flaunt her and not give a damn about the rest of the world. I’m getting tired of hiding our relationship but I know it wouldn’t do. Tonight I was forced to go on a night out with a new colleague from Front Row to quash whatever issues surfaced all over instagram about my last outing with Nadine. The staff from Viva already took care of it, denying it was Nadine with me. I know it painted me on a bad light but it was a necessary evil. This event with Debbie-whatever-the-hell-her-surname-was would end whatever doubts there still were. I feel sick and sleepy and just really wanna stay home or be with Nadine. But this is also for Nadine. She’s still not ready for things to be out in the open just yet and so we kept on with the pretense.
