NORA'S POV
Knock-knock...
"Are you ready?"
I take a deep breath.
"This is fine, right?" I refer to my outfit.
"Nora!!! The outfit is fine."
I am wearing a cream lace top tucked in blue jeans and oxford heel boots.
I will be fine. You will do great.
"Come on, let's go."
When I enter the table my jaw drops.
"Are these people all for me?"
"They are, Nora. Your novels are quite popular. Critics have approved your work."
I blink back tears while looking down.
"So stop underestimating yourself. You have a great talent."
"Stop it." My voice comes out vulnerable and weak.
The fansign event starts after the interaction with the fans.
"I like your writing so much. I cried for 2 hours because of the ending."
"I am sorry for that and thank you so much. What should I write?"
She whispers something in my ear and I write it for her.
We both giggle. Turns out, most of my fans aren't innocent at all.
"Thank you for coming."
"Your coffee."
"Thank you, Hayley." I give her a smile.
"You are working hard."
"You are working more hard, Hayley."
"It's my job."
I am still working on the ending of the book. I literally had to be pulled from my room and fed because I had been skipping meals.
Ira was so upset with me, I quote, "I know how you love being a zombie but for a change you need to turn human." This made me laugh for about 30 minutes. She didn't find it funny but I did.
"O My God!!! Did you look at him? He looks like a Book Boyfriend. Damn!! Is he a model?"
What's going on? I can't figure it out because the crowd is covering the so-called book boyfriend.
I resume with my fan-signing event and honestly my heart is content. I have never received so much love and it's overwhelming in a good way.
"Hello, how are you doing......"
My eyes are wide open and I think I dropped my pen too.
Light Purple Lilacs are practically shoved in my face before I can speak.
"What? What's this?"
He shrugs.
"Flowers for my girlfriend." He says that with a very straight face. He is cute.
He holds the flowers for me. Whispers break out in the crowd. Camera phones are pulled to record it.
"For me?" I point to myself.
"Aren't you my girlfriend?"
Yeah. Fake-girlfriend. We are pretending.
I nod. I take the flowers.
He holds out my novel in front of me.
"Have you read my books, Mr. Dalton?"
"They are pretty good. Especially chapter 30. Never knew you had a vivid and colorful imagination."
