In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 733

To my surprise, she blushed. “Don’t phrase it that way. I was only going to spend the night chatting with him.”

She felt a little embarrassed and tried to explain further. “I actually wanted to keep you company tonight. Alas, I am caught between love and friendship! What a difficult decision that is!” she exclaimed.

“I am used to sleeping alone, so you don’t have to bother about me,” I stated as I crawled into the tent and started laying out my sleeping bag.

“Really? You can’t get mad at me if you get spooked in the middle of the night, and I don’t come running back to you, okay?” she muttered shyly.

“Don’t worry, my dear Nora. I won’t”

She grinned sheepishly, every inch a besotted young girl. “Young lady, get a hold on that dirty little mind of yours and stop drooling. Have some dignity.” I cupped my forehead and jested at her.

She gave me a sly smile and whispered, “I can’t help it. That man is too seductive. I can’t control myself anymore!”

I was left speechless.

Rachel came by with some snacks and invited, “We brought some snacks. Would you like to join us?”

Nora folded her arms defensively and rebuffed her. “No thanks. We brought snacks as well. We don’t need yours.”

Oh, my! How childish can she get?

Ashton walked over and took a glance around. When he saw all the tents were up, he proposed, “Let’s have supper together. If we are lucky, we may get to see shooting stars tonight.”

“Oh yes! We have a good view of the starry sky here,” Laurel concurred. “We can stargaze while we eat. We brought our grills, so let’s enjoy a barbeque under the stars! That would be so wonderful!”

“Set! Let’s get moving.” Nora was all for it.

In the end, the barbeque planned for the next day was brought forward and everyone started chipping in with the preparation. The guys began to set up the grills while the ladies started preparing the food.

Nora brought over a bag of vegetables and potatoes. We started cutting and skewering them.

Suddenly, Nora leaned closed and asked, “Scarlett, what do you think is the difference between a vixen and a siren?” She had a shifty look in her eyes.
