    CHAPTER 1

    The sky seemed extra blue, the white clouds fluffier than I had ever seen them before. Or perhaps it was just the boy lying next to me that made the world brighter.

    There’s a rabbit juggling a ball and a toaster, Cole pointed out.

    And a giraffe with a hockey stick, I said, pointing to the sky. We both erupted into fits of giggles as the clouds danced by high above.

    It was a Sunday morning, one of the few Cole and I got to spend together. He had a few days off from his world tour as part of the boy band Two Dimension. And we were going to make the most of them.

    Cole rolled over, using his elbow to prop himself up as he looked over me.

    Why are you staring at me? I asked, suddenly self conscious under his intense gaze.

    You are way more beautiful than any clouds. His mouth crooked into a grin before he leaned down and kissed me. It sent little bolts of lightning through my body.

    My hand tangled in his sandy-blonde hair and pulled him closer. I had waited a long time for the famous Cole Newton to kiss me and I made sure to savor every one of them now.

    When he finally released me, I was breathless. Wow, was all I could manage.

    His beautiful green eyes twinkled with mischief. There is plenty more where that came from.

    I arched an eyebrow in challenge. Oh, really?

    He nodded, grinning like a fool, before pushing himself up to kneel over me. Without any warning, he started tickling my ribs. I couldn’t stop laughing, unable to even catch my breath and fill my lungs with air.

    Cole… I can’t… stop…

    He didn’t falter, continuing his relentless tickling as I tried to grab his hands. Happiness bubbled over, threatening to make me completely dizzy.

    Cole stopped, mid-tickle, his hands still on my ribs and his laughter still caught in the air. He was looking at something beyond me. I gasped for air as I rolled over to see what he was looking at.

    Hiding in the bushes were two men. That would have been creepy enough as they watched us, but they were also holding cameras. The paparazzi had found us.

    We need to get out of here, Cole whispered, making no sudden movements as if that would scare our stalkers. He took my hand and helped me to my feet.

    He didn’t let go of my hand as he pulled me swiftly along to his car. His grip was so tight there was no risk of me being left behind. Which was probably the point.

    I chanced a glance back and saw a wall of photographers chasing after us. They were tripping over themselves and each other as they held no regard for anyone’s safety. And they were gaining ground on us.

    The car beeped as its doors unlocked. Cole opened the passenger side and bundled me in before taking his own seat. He wasted no time in starting the vehicle and steering it onto the road.

    Damn it, Cole swore as his eyes darted everywhere.

    It’s okay, we probably shouldn’t be lying around all day anyway, I said, trying to calm him down. I didn’t want him to worry about our morning being ruined. Just being with Cole was what I wanted, it didn’t matter where we were.

    They’re following us, he replied. I turned around to see not one, but five black SUV’s surrounding the car. One of them was fast approaching on the left hand side.

    Cole sped up to try to lose them but it didn’t work, they only sped up too. As the accelerator was pushed to its limit, our car and that of the photographers were careening along at dangerous speeds.

    Maybe we should slow down, I urged. My heart was racing with the speed and the things that could go wrong at that pace. It’s not like they can do anything to hurt us, right?

    They’re monsters, they’ll do whatever it takes to get a good photo, Cole
