Read Online Blogger Girl by Meredith Schorr - Free Book Online

read my blog post on juggling!” I mentally kicked myself for flirting. The plan was to get over him if I couldn’t get under him.
    Nicholas smiled. “I did. But refresh my memory.”
    “Rob knows that I won’t let my job suffer as a result of the blog so as long as I’m caught up on stuff, he doesn’t mind if I write during the day. He also knows I’m in a better mood after I’ve written a post. My mood is elevated after writing a blog post or even a review. I don’t know what it is but I’d probably compare it to runner’s high if I had ever actually experienced runner’s high.” I realized that Nicholas was staring at me and felt a rush of heat through my body. “Anyway, I make the time because I love doing it.”
    Studying me, Nicholas said, “I think it’s very cool that you’re so passionate about it. Ever thought about writing a book?”
    I placed a piece of hair behind my ear. “Writing a book review and writing a book are two totally different animals.”
    “True. I figured after reading so many books, you might have some ideas of your own though. Especially since you’re such a good writer.”
    I gave him a timid smile. “That’s nice of you to say. But book writing is not for me.”
    Nodding, Nicholas said, “Duly noted. So, on to new topics. Been emailing your newest friend on Facebook?” Nicholas asked with a glint in his eye.
    “Not exactly. And by the way, what makes you think she’s my newest friend? You don’t think I’ve had any friend requests since then?” I teased, silently cursing myself for flirting. Again .
    Nicholas put down his knife and fork. “I know you have.”
    I looked at him curiously. “You know I have what? ”
    Holding my glance, he said, “I know you’ve had at least one friend request since then. Have you been on Facebook yet today?”
    I stared at him a second before reaching into my handbag for my phone. When I clicked on Facebook, I saw that I had in fact received a new friend request. I looked at him again before opening the request.
    He shrugged and raised his eyebrows.
    I opened the request. Nicholas Strong wants to be friends on Facebook. From his profile picture, Nicholas’ brown eyes peered at me and his sexy smile seemed to say, “Come hither.” I looked back at him, my heart beating rapidly.
    Laughing, he said, “I hope accepting my request won’t be as difficult as your friend from high school.”
    “Hannah is not my friend,” I argued. “But of course not.” I secretly wished it wouldn’t be rude to confirm the request later, after I had untagged myself from all unflattering pictures and brainstormed the decision with Bridget and Caroline.
    “Cool,” he said taking a bite of chicken.
    “Speaking of which, I found out why Hannah friended me in the first place.” If Nicholas insisted on being “friends,” I figured there was no harm in giving him an update.
    Nicholas dropped his fork and smiled. “So it wasn’t to reminisce all your good times back in senior high?”
    “Not so much,” I said, shaking my head.
    Nicholas leaned forward. “What happened?”
    I took a deep breath as I prepared to tell the story again. “My friend Jonathan told me she’s writing a book. A chick lit book.” I gave Nicholas a knowing look. “You make the connection.”
    Understanding washed over Nicholas’ face. “Oh. You think she’s hoping for a great review, huh?”
    Nodding, I said, “I know she is.”
    After downing the rest of his water and chewing a piece of ice, Nicholas said, “I agree. She’s definitely trying to work you. Can you blame her though? I mean, she knows you, apparently you have some clout in the biz, why not?”
    Despite being humored by his use of the word “biz,” this was not what I wanted to hear. 
    “What’d she say when she asked you?” Nicholas asked.
    “She didn’t. She’s way too slick for that. Or at least she thinks she is. But she friended me on Facebook the same week I received an email from
