I was startled when my phone buzzed in my back pocket. I’d been on edge for days.

Hey rock star. How did the interview go?

Relief flooded me when I saw it was Val who’d texted me. We’d had the most amazing weekend together, and then I flew home on Monday and hadn’t gotten anything more from her than a couple of random texts in three days. She’d been swamped at work and I had this interview coming up, so I’d flown home. Val hadn’t said anything about when we’d see each other again.

Still waiting I texted back. Not sure what the hold up is.

I’d wish you luck but you don’t need it. You’re going to rock it.

I was new to long-distance relationships. I didn’t like that we’d left things open-ended. Val was so caught up in her crazy, full-speed-ahead world. I wondered if she even realized it’d been three days and we hadn’t talked. Maybe that was normal for her in a relationship, but I was kind of an all or nothing guy. I didn’t want to ask outright if she wanted to come down to L.A. this weekend, but what could I say to drop the hint?

Wish you were here. You should be doing this interview with me.

I wish I were there too. I miss you.

Well, that answered nothing. But at least she missed me. At least I’d crossed her mind once or twice since I left. Another text followed her last one.

Is that lame? Saying I miss you? I know it’s only been three days.

I felt a smile creep onto my face. Probably the first one I’d managed all day. She was worried about saying she missed me, while I was struggling not to jump on another plane.

Not lame I typed back. I miss you too. All my other girlfriends down here aren’t as fun as you.

HA. HA. Not funny.

I laughed. You’re sexy when you’re jealous.

I’ve got to go. I’m meeting my other boyfriend for lunch.

You’re right. It’s not funny.

See?

You’re not really going out to lunch with some guy are you?

Aw, you’re so cute when you’re jealous.

Okay, you got me.

Good. I really do have to go though. Late for a meeting. I’ll talk to you soon, okay?

Can’t wait.

I slipped my phone back into my pocket and tried not to frown. I knew she was kidding with the boyfriend comment, but I hated thinking about it all the same. Especially after having met Bryce Carmichael, the F is for Families wonder boy.

I glanced around the studio, wondering what the hold up was.

My managers had put the word out that I was pledging the V is for Virgin abstinence challenge and invited a number of different media people to witness it. Celebrity Gossip asked to do a cover and a four-page photo spread and interview. Who knew my abstinence would be such front-page news?

They’d really gone all out for this thing, too—lights and cameras everywhere. They had three separate location setups, crafty, and my own private waiting area. At least there was that.
