  107. About the Author

“Oh, you’ll have friend requests. I don’t need to tell you to be careful.”

I pick up my phone.

“Clear them. There’s no point in trying to keep up with that.”

“Reece Evans friend requested me.”

Josh laughs. “Typical. Just let me double check that it’s actually his account.”

It takes a moment for him to check. I just stare at my phone. Reece Evans wants to be my Facebook friend. What planet am I living on?

“That’s him alright. There’s a request from Gabby too.”

“You can accept that one. She suggested we get together for dinner before we all leave.”

Josh nods. “We should. I’ll give her a call later to organise something. Do you use lists for your Facebook friends?”

I shake my head.

“Maybe you should start. Then you can keep posts just for us.”

“Well, there aren’t any nudes.”

Josh laughs. “Save those for me.”

I lean over and peck him on the cheek. “They’ll only be for you. I’ll sort the lists out later.”

I rub my face with my hands. “This is all so much.”

“This is my life, Delaney. I’m not known for dating, so my friends, the ones who want to be friends with you, know that it’s serious.”

My phone pings a bunch of times, and he sighs. “I’ll turn your notifications off too. I didn’t want it to yet, but your life is going to change. You know that, don’t you?”

“I do.”

“Still want me?”

I take the phone from his hands and throw it on the bed. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I push myself against him and give him a kiss that’ll leave him with no doubt just how much I want him.

“We are never going to leave this bedroom again, are we?” he asks.

“Another week and I’ll be going home, so yes, we will at some point.”

He looks at me with so much love it takes my breath away.

“Why don’t we see if we can FaceTime Amelia and then I’ll take you to dinner. If our relationship is out there, we’ve got nothing to hide.”

“Are you sure?” He has his own world to protect—especially now he’s cut ties with Mac.

“Am I sure I want to take my beautiful girl out, and not hide her from the world? Yes. Reece told me about a great place to eat. Let’s try it. But first, Amelia.”

After checking the time, I FaceTime Pania. She grins when she answers.

“I’ve just been reading this really terrible story about you. The photo’s hot though. You two are on fire together.”

I laugh. “That’s what I just told Josh.”

“I’m guessing you want to talk to this girl who went crazy the second she heard your voice?”

“Yes please.”
