It’s just sleeping. Nothing has changed.

Alice

Really? You’re sleeping next to a demi-god and nothing has changed?

Emma

Nope. Sorry to disappoint.

Hayley

It’s only been one night, though. How long are you staying there again?

Emma

Six days

Hayley

Plenty of time.

Alice

Exactly!

Hayley

I have to say, your life sounds pretty fun right now. Living it up while fake dating your high school crush, who also happens to be a famous actor, and now throwingOne Bed into the mix? Not bad.

Emma

Says the girl who’s traveling around Paris with her hockey player boyfriend, who pursued her from day one. You win this one. Anyway, you should go to bed. It’s late, and I’m being called on set.

Yes, I’m lying to my friends, but I need out of this conversation, stat.

Alice

Of course. We don’t want to keep you from Auston ;)

Hayley

Have fuuun. Love you.

Instead of replying, I just turn the chat off. No need to entertain them any longer.

Auston and I had dinner with the rest of the crew in the hotel restaurant. No need to spend more one-on-one time with him than necessary. Can you blame me? I’m in a very fragile state today.

Unfortunately, everyone else turns in early, and I’m once again alone with him in the room.

“We should watch a movie,” he says, leaning on the bathroom door.

I roll my eyes.

“Come on, it’ll be fun,” he says with a bright smile. Dang it. Something inside of me stirs, and I can’t bring myself to turn him down. This is bad—really bad. I hate it.

“Fine,” I grumble.

“You choose the movie. They have all the streaming services here. While you do that, I’ll go grab us some snacks,” he says. “We can’t do a movie night without snacks.”
