heart then what’s the point in being given the gift of
life?’
‘Wow, that’s deep for after two in the morning.
You sound as if you speak from experience.’
‘Do you want to live with regrets?’ he frowned.
‘No, of course not, but it’s not that simple. You
don’t know my parents, the expectations they have of me. It’s not befitting of
someone with my heritage to break the mould and follow her heart, no matter how
much I may want to.’
‘Human beings would never have made progress if
there weren’t trailblazers, Eve. We’d still be huddled in caves, rubbing sticks
together to keep warm, if people didn’t try new things. Text him, set up a
date, see how it goes. You may decide he’s not the one worth risking it for, or
he may be the one that changes everything, for the better.’
‘Even if I did contact him, I’m not sure he’d be
interested anymore anyway. I’ve knocked him back so many times, he’ll have
moved on.’
‘Surely to try and to fail, is better than to have
never tried at all,’ he advised. I shrugged and yawned.
‘Come on, sleep, I’ll be waking you in a few hours.’
‘You don’t sleep when you’re working?’
‘Not when I need to run a full body inspection
before you leave, make sure that everything’s in working order. Can’t have you
unhappy with the service I’ve provided,’ he grinned.
‘Trust me, I’m happy, more than happy.’ He turned
his head as he heard a noise coming from the street. I gasped as I saw his side
profile and it suddenly came back to me where I knew him from. ‘You’re Summer
Beresford’s boyfriend.’
‘What?’ he uttered, as he snapped his head back
around to look at me with a frown.
‘I saw you together on Celebspot on the net, a
picture of you both on the red carpet and you were kissing the side of her
head. You were listed as an unknown date.’
‘We’re not dating, you’re mistaken in your
assumption.’
‘I’m sure I’m not, I thought I recognised you when
I saw you. You’re really seeing her? She’s gorgeous.’
‘I can promise you categorically that I’m not seeing her,’ he responded forcefully.
‘It was you though, wasn’t it?’ I enquired. I
wasn’t stupid, his whole body language had changed, he’d tensed up and his eyes
had turned dark, bringing her up had angered him.
‘I was there as a friend, that’s all, there’s
nothing between us. Now sleep please, you only have a few hours.’
‘Ok,’ I nodded. His tone had turned dominant, this
wasn’t something he wanted to talk about. I knew I’d recognised him, I remember
thinking what a stunning couple they made and how hot he was. Had she hired him
for the night as well? Was someone as pretty as Summer that desperate for dates
that she needed to pay Logan? I stifled a laugh. I was paying for a date with
Logan, who was I to judge her? Maybe she was like me, just needing an escape, a
perfect night to keep her going and I’m sure that Logan would have made sure
she got that.

I sat with her until she was fast asleep, then
quietly headed downstairs and grabbed my phone out of my bag, seething. How the
hell had Ian missed a photo of me out there with Summer? I rubbed my forehead
in frustration. I’d been stupid going to that premiere with her, thousands of
fans were there with cameras, as well as the media. How the hell did I expect
Ian to source every image of me that got uploaded, without my name on for him
to search for? I suddenly straightened up with a smile, my best friend had
developed a software package to scan and recognise faces in pictures and video,
to protect his identity when he went into hiding. Christ knows how it worked,
something to do with facial bone structure and distance between the eyes. Ian
must have access to it as he worked for him, as his permanent job anyway, he
probably ran it daily, he could just upload my profile picture to the system
for it to work its magic. I sent him a message asking him to use it,
