Someone to Watch Over Me (47 page)

“Champagne,” Shane said. “I’ll open a
bottle.”

“Better hope they aren’t girls,” Evan joked,
“cause if they’re anything like Coop, you’re in a woooorrrrrlllld
of trouble.”

“Word,” Marshall concurred. “I’m glad I
didn’t tear up that envelope, ‘cause I think I’m gonna have to find
a new occupation. I don’t know if I can keep up with three of
them.”

‘
Ha ha
,’ I chided. ‘
Life would be
boring without me around. You both know it
.’

Taylor smiled jokingly and lifted one
shoulder. “Job security.”

Somewhere, behind the small cluster of
friends and family, the champagne bottle gave a percussive ‘pop!’
The cork launched in the air, ricocheted off the ceiling and pegged
me square on the forehead. I slapped my hand over the sting,
scowling at the laughter and gibes around me.

‘
Shane
!’

“Sorry, Coop!”

“Jesus Christ, babe!” Tate exclaimed,
fighting a smile. “You alright?” He passed Levy off to Carter—who
was undoubtedly checking to see if he got it on video—and pulled me
into his arms. He tilted my head back, looked me over. “It’s never
a dull moment with you, is it?”

I shook my head, smiled sheepishly.

The bus jolted forward, jostled us closer
together. Tate tightened his arms around me to keep me from falling
down—ok, not so much to keep me from falling, but to kiss me
better. His lips crashed into mine, enamel scraping together as we
eased over a speed bump. As we smoothed out onto the Boulevard, we
let the world fall away, losing ourselves in one another.

“They’re gonna write songs about us,” Tate
whispered against my lips, his eyes alight. “What we got…it’s the
stuff of legends.”

Another note from the Author

I’ve received
very many inquiries on who actually attacked Cooper in the white
van. The answer will be in one of subsequent stories. Yes, I am
planning to write a book for each of the members in the band,
though they will be told from the female’s perspective. Each will
be stand alone with elements and characters from the preceding
books. I am planning to release in this order: Shane, Jake and
Carter. This is subject to change, contingent on which character
demands my attention. As of now, the story line falls in this
order.

If you’d like to be notified of future releases for
this series, you can visit any of the links above. I love to hear
from my readers.

Thanks again for your interest in my books,
