"How can you be so beautiful?" I whisper in her ear as the music echoes everywhere ...

We've made it a point to keep some distance when we're in public, as fans have been running wild ever since Morgz has been doing live shows and everyone knows I'm here in Los Angeles.

This has sparked a lot of excitement, since they are trying in every way to understand if Jo is with me or not ...
It's kind of funny to see the various theories, especially when they mistake Jamie or Haley, her assistant, for Josephine, since they all have blonde hair ...
So as soon as we leave the Resort, I avoid taking her by the hand, even if I would love to and we keep our distance when we move around the Coachella park so as not to be portrayed together in the photos...
My photos, on the other hand, are literally everywhere, ever since I arrived!

I posted something too, in order to avoid the spasmodic search for news by the fans, but it did little to calm the spirits ...
All this attention flatters me but sometimes the curiosity towards my private life is really too much and when it comes to Jo I want in every way to preserve her privacy ...
But when the lights go out and only the ones that illuminate the stage remain, no one can see me and I approach her by pulling up the hood of mine and her sweatshirt, to stay hidden as much as possible...

"Hero, someone will see us..." she turns to me as soon as I wrap my arms around her waist from behind and I approach her with my mouth to her ear, leaving her a kiss just below...

"You're making me shiver..." she smiles at me with her mouth close to mine

"Is it bad?" I smile happily holding her closer to me

"No ..." her eyes in mine "But I'm afraid they might find us..."

"If a photo comes out, we'll say it's a photomontage..." I joke as she turns back to the stage and I sink my face into her hair "I can't tear myself away from you..."

I hear her sigh as her hands rest on mine around her waist...
The songs follow one another and we remain embraced, rocking a little to the rhythm of the music, or almost ...

"How about we go get something to drink? They've opened the snack kiosk!" proposes Alex and since we still have dinner, it seems to everyone a great idea...

I let go of Jo and she looks at me sad...
"What's up?" I bring a lock of hair behind her ear, arranging the hat on her head.

"Nothing... I don't like pretending not to be together, that's all!" she snorts "But it's better than the alternative, I couldn't stand it..."

"I know... let's eat and then come back here!" I wink "We have all night together then ..."

She puts on her sunglasses again and walks off with Mia, while I wait a bit before following them with my friends...
It's weird having to pretend she's not here, especially when they stop me to take photos and ask what happened to Jo...
I always have to answer that I don't know or maybe she is with Anna, since she is at the BTS concert in Las Vegas, at least as far as I have seen from her Instagram stories.
It is also strange to go back to being more active for the fans... so far I have hidden from the rest of the world all the photos and videos that I posted only for friends, few and trusted...
I generally use Instagram just to keep in touch with them, but now that I've received several job offers for major fashion houses, I need to rehabilitate my page a bit, just for publicity...

"For me a hamburger, thank you..." Morgz documents everything with his cell phone and turns to me "So FT, what do you want to say to your fans?" he laughs "Do you have any news?"
I shake my head in amusement ... What a dickhead he is! Is it possible that every time he suggests something? He does it on purpose, I know ...
It makes me laugh and I answer "Apart from the thousand and thousand videos you are making even when you go to the bathroom?"
Felix joins me "Or do we want to tell everyone that you love Harry Styles?" he stands in front of the camera "Girls, Morgz loves Harry !!! he really loves him !!!" he teases him, knowing that when he does live like this it's just to attract as many girls as possible to his page ...
