"Wait what?!" Romeo says with a subtle smile.

"Ro, I've always liked you but I knew that if we dated I would be heartbroken when I left," I say.

"I get it, I guess" Romeo says as his smile fades.

"But now... now we have three months to spend with each other and I want to make them the best three months ever." I say smiling.

"So what your saying is..." Romeo says waiting for me to jump in.

I nod.

Romeo clears his throat and says loudly and formally while also trying not to laugh, "Emily Isla will you be my girlfriend?"

"Why of course I will Mr. Beckham!" I say trying to mimic his voice.

He smiles, I smile.

"I bet getter ready for tennis," Romeo says.

"Ok!" I say back.

"Do you want to come?" Romeo asks, he's still
smiling.

"Yeah! " I say happily. "I'll let you get ready and just text me when we are leaving."

"Ok, great," Romeo says.

I walk to my room.

"Romeo, time for tennis" Brooklyn yells.

I grab my phone and run down stairs.

"Hey Brook, I'm coming to watch Romeo play," I say.

"Cool cool," Brooklyn says.

Romeo dashes down the stairs with his tennis bag.

"I'm ready!" Romeo says full with energy.

We walk to the car and get in. Romeo's in the front seat I'm in the back.

Romeo: Don't tell anyone about us ok?
Me: I told my best friend Alexa
Romeo: I told my best friend too but just don't tell your fam or my fam or the fans yet if that's ok with you
Me: I'm ok with that!!
Romeo: I'm so happy😃❤️
Me: Me too😇

Most of the car ride was silent except for the radio.

We get to Romeos tennis and head to the courts.

"Hey Emily!" Miles Romeos tennis friend says.

"Hey guys!" I say.

They all wave.

"Have a good practice Ro," I say to Romeo.

"Thanks Em," Romeo says to me as I walk away.

As Romeo and his tennis group are getting out their rackets and things I sit in the bleachers next to Brooklyn.

"I know about you and Romeo." He says.

"What? How?!" I say surprised.

"I saw him texting you in the car," Brooklyn says.

"Ohhh... please don't tell anyone else yet!" I say sorta desperately.

"I won't," Brooklyn says. "But just so you know I've shipped you guys ever since that plane ride."

I laugh.

For the rest of the practice Brooklyn's fun I briefly talk but nothing to important.

We get down from the bleachers as we see Romeo head off the court. I decide to text Romeo,

Me: Brooklyn saw you texting me in the car, he knows

"Hey Romeo great job out there little bro!" Brooklyn says.

"Yeah! Great job!!!" I say happily.

"Thanks," Romeo says.

"Ok you two love birds let's head home," Brooklyn says.

I signal Romeo to check his phone. He pulls it out and nods.

Me: You're also gonna do the campaign right?
Romeo: Of course<3
Me: Good yay!
Romeo: I have to tell my mom and Ruthie that...
Me: Do it now!
Romeo: I will

I look at Romeo and he taps his nose three times.
