Page 58 of Love Notes and Late Nights
A crooked smile pulled at one side of Wolf’s lips. “I hope he did. I hope the whole world heard me.”
“I guess we should tell Marshall. The poor guy’s left out in the cold. And Ruby. She needs to know how to handle the media.” There were still some fans who wanted Wolf to be with Ethan and there was no changing their minds. Harris could easily receive backlash and be on their shit list for stepping in and ensuring that Wolf and Ethan were never getting back together.
Wolf tapped something into his phone and then stuffed it into his pocket. “Done.”
“What do you mean, done? Did you just text Marshall and Ruby that we’re seeing each other?”
“I told Ruby. I told Marshall to get his butt over here because we needed to tell him something important.”
“What did you tell Ruby?” Harris slipped into his jeans and pulled on a T-shirt. He wasn’t getting caught half naked again.
“That me and you are in love.” Wolf’s phone buzzed with a text message, and he read it. “Ruby said she’s taking a Xanax.” His phone buzzed again. “She said to keep things private until she formulates a plan. Why do we need a plan? If she thinks we’re gonna keep things a secret, she better forget it.”
Harris loved that Wolf didn’t want to pretend they weren’t in love and wanted everyone to know it. Maybe shouting it into thedesert air wasn’t the best way to announce their relationship, but he loved that Wolf did it without a second thought.
The door to the RV swung open and Marshall and Amy walked in, hand in hand.
Apparently, no one knocks anymore.
“What’s going on?” Marshall asked. “I saw Ethan storm out of here a little while ago. Did you guys have an argument?”
“No. Not really.” Wolf moved closer to Harris, their hands found one another, they smiled at each other, and shared a small kiss.
“I knew it! They’re a couple!” Amy exclaimed, then swatted Marshall’s arm. “I told you, and you said I was crazy.”
Marshall slowly blinked. “You’re together?”
“We’re in love,” Harris clarified, and a new wave of euphoria washed over him. He felt ecstatic and giddy and wanted to open the door and shout it to the universe the same way Wolf had done.
“In love?” Marshall was still absorbing the news. “I don’t know what to say.”
“Say you’re happy for them.” Amy bubbled with excitement and hugged both Wolf and Harris. “That’s wonderful. You two look so happy. I see the way the two of you look at each other.”
“Is that what you screamed out the RV earlier?” Marshall asked Wolf. “That you love Harris?”
Wolf nodded. “Yep. I love Harrisson Young.”
A big smile spread across Marshall’s face. “If you’re happy, I’m happy. I am. Very happy for you both. How’s Ethan handling it? I saw his face. He didn’t look so happy.”
“He walked in on us so it was a bit of a shock. He’ll come around,” Wolf said.
“He walked in on you?” Marshall’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“Oh. No.” Wolf laughed heartily. “He didn’t walk in on us doing it. We were eating breakfast and Harris was still in his underwear.” Wolf tilted his head in Harris’ direction. “Do you think he suspected on some level? I know he seemed like he had no idea, but why would he just assume we were sleeping together because you were in your underwear? We walk around the tour bus in our underwear all the time. I’ve gotten up in the middle of the night bare ass naked to use the can.”
Harris scratched his chin and thought about it. “Well, for one thing, I had a boner.” He quickly covered his mouth. “I’m so sorry, Amy. That was crude.”
She waved her hand at him. “I have two younger brothers. I grew up with farts and boners.”
They all burst out laughing. This chick was cool.
“We’re going for a hike before it gets too hot if you want to join us,” Amy said.
“I love hiking,” Wolf replied. “Where?”
“It’s kinda far. It’s about a 90-minute drive. A car is taking us there in about half an hour.”
Wolf gave Harris puppy dog eyes. “Please?”
