significantly day by day and it is only a matter of time before he eclipses every other star out there.
W e talked through my concerns about getting in the way, of his management and the TV Company not wanting him to bring a hanger on and he did everything he could to assure me that it wasn’t an issue.
He explained that his manager had been informed of the change in plans and any concerns she had, were minor.
He brushed my own concerns aside so effortlessly, that any worries I had, all but left me.
I’m not naïve, I realise they are going to think that this situation has happened too quickly.
He goes from a lady killer, party boy, with a wild reputation, to bringing me with him in the space of a week and a half.
When you put it like that, I look like a fame hungry whore.
“E arth to Emma, the lights are on but nobody’s home.” Liv waves her hand in front of my eyes bringing me back to the moment.
“You pining for Jake already?” she smirks before plopping herself down on the sofa next to me.
I blush and look over to where Nate and Liam sit opposite us on the terrace of Aurora.
Liam was due to fly home before Jake but for reasons he hasn’t shared with anyone, he’s decided to delay university yet again and has taken up my old position working for his brother.
“J ules & Jakey sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G.” he singsongs like a two year old.
“Oh very mature Liam, remind me again why we hang out so much?” I roll my eyes and pick up my steaming hot cup of tea from the table in front of us.
“Oh come off it Jules you love it, besides I’ve hardly seen you the last few days seeing as you have barely left Jake’s side. Anyone would swear…” the grin on his face lets me know what he’s about to say next.
“Don’t you bloody dare finish that sentence.” I glare at him over the rim of my cup.
He widens his eyes making the gesture of zipping his mouth closed and throwing away the key. Liv and Nate take it all in with smug smiles on their faces.
“Oh for Christ’s sake what? What are you pair looking so pleased about?”
Nate answers “Oh nothing but I’m guessing someone is missing you as much as you are missing him.”
I shake my head about to discount his words when a voice comes from behind me. “Delivery for Senorita Campbell.”
I turn quickly, eyeing a delivery man holding a massive bouquet of stargazer lilies and I gape silently at him.
“This is Miss Campbell” Liv calls out besides me, motioning him in my direction. “Now I wonder who those could be from?”
I look from the delivery guy to her and see a devious twinkle in her eye. “Liam, did you know that the stargazer lily symbolises true feelings and emotions or in other words, that you miss someone?” she asks in a nonchalant, conversational tone.
“Wow aren’t you just the flora and fauna dictionary” is Liam’s cheeky reply.
I take in their continuing banter as the guy with the flowers gently places them on the table in front of me and hands me his clipboard to sign.
“Enjoy Senorita” he says before checking my signature and leaving the club.
“S o I wonder who they are from and if there’s a card” Liv says as she sneakily leans towards the beautiful display of flowers.
I am momentarily snapped out of my stupor and I slap her hand away before snatching up the attached card and hiding it against my chest.
“Hmph not fair, I wasn’t going to open it.” She pouts before releasing a sly grin and leans over to smell the lilies.
“C’mon Jules, who’s the secret admirer.” Even Nate has started calling me by Liam’s pet name. I look over at the two Fox brothers in front of me, waiting for any more sarcastic comments but all I see are genuine smiles, although for a second I see something else pass over Liam’s face, something that looks like sadness.
I try not to dwell on that look, although Liam is like a brother to me and I really need to have a chat with him about his
