Chapter 18

Jess's P. O. V. *two months later*

"Daniel!!!!!" I yelled running through the front door and straight to our room. He was laying shirtless on his bed and when I ran in he looked up from his phone.

"What!?" He asked.

"You know how my book was published last month?"

"Yeah."

"I'm going to this huge event and reading my book in front of a ton of people!" I yelled jumping up and down.

"What?? That's amazing!!" He shouted jumping up from bed and picking me up.

"My publisher said the books are selling so well, people were begging to meet me and stuff."

"I'm so proud of you!" He picked me up and spun me around before kissing my lips.

"When is it?" He asked.

"It's on Saturday, and it's in Colorado."

"Colorado?"

"Yeah," I said smiling.

"Can I come?" He asked, starting to look worried.

"I don't know, Wren said you guys had a press event on Saturday."

"So you're gonna go to Colorado alone?" He asked.

"Yeah, is that a problem?" I asked.

"It's just...don't you remember..."

"What?"

"Justin?" My heart dropped. I had honestly almost forgotten about him.

"He won't be there. Will he?"

"If you're being advertised in Colorado, then he probably knows about it."

"Shit," I cursed under my breath.

"I can ask David-"

"No, you need to be there with the guys."

"What about Wren?"

"She's your photographer for Saturday."

"I don't want you going alone," he held my hands.

"I know babe, but I'll be okay. There's tons of security, I'll be fine."

"When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow." He slid his arms around my waist and pulled my body against his. I intertwined my fingers around the back of his neck and rested my head on his shoulder. He kissed my head.

"I'm gonna talk to David."

"Daniel, you can't get out of it."

"I'm still gonna try."

"I'm gonna miss you baby. I'm sorry I can't come," Daniel said. We were hugging at the airport.

"I'll be back on Monday. And don't worry about it, there'll be next time."

"Yeah." He grabbed my face bringing my lips to his. I slid my hands into his hair, pulling him closer to me.

"I love you," I told him.

"I love you, too." I kissed him for what felt like forever until my flight was called.

"Bye baby."

"Bye Daniel." I rolled my suitcase through the airport following Rachel, my publisher. We boarded our flight in first class and got settled.
