Summary
Stella will do anything for her sick sister, Cara—even stand in line for an autographed Heartbreakers CD…for four hours. She’s totally winning best birthday gift this year. At least she met a cute boy with soft brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes while getting her caffeine fix. Too bad she’ll never see him again.
Except, Stella’s life has suddenly turned into a cheesy love song. Because Starbucks Boy is Oliver Perry – lead singer for the Heartbreakers. And even after she calls his music crap, Oliver still gives Stella his phone number. And whispers quotes from her favorite Disney movie in her ear. OMG, what is her life?
But how can Stella even think about being with Oliver – dating and laughing and pulling pranks with the band – when her sister could be dying of cancer?
Excerpt
“We can
watch your favorite movie?”
I nodded my head. A movie was an acceptably easy activity. “Okay, but nothing scary. I hate
horror movies.”
Oliver laughed. “Yeah, I totally pegged you as a
chick flick type of girl.”
“Oh
really?” I asked raising an
eyebrow.
“Yeah,” he
said and scooted closer to me “I
bet I can name your top three movies.”
“Let’s hear it then,” I said and crossed my arms over my chest.
“First, The
Notebook. Every girl loves The Notebook. It’s a no-brainer.” Oliver confidently stretched and
draped his arm around my shoulder.
“All
right, next,” I said without
letting him know if he was right.
“Next,
Titanic because Jack represents the kind of guy that every girl wants.”
“Why’s that?”
“Because
he shows that if you truly love someone, you’ll do anything for them. I mean he knows he can’t have a relationship with Rose, yet he
never stops fighting for her and eventually dies for her. Not to mention that
he’s played by Leonardo
DiCaprio.”
“Got the
hot’s for Leo?” I teased and poked him on the chest.
“He’s a bit old for me.”
“All
right,” I said with a laugh. “Final movie.”
“Definitely
something Disney,” Oliver
said stroking his chin. “Girls
love Disney. I’m guessing Cinderella.”
“Oh yeah?” Oliver was wrong on all accounts,
but his explanations were funny.
“Because
you girls like that prince charming, knight in shining armor crap,” he said and shook his, dismissing
it as nonsense.
“I see,” I told him and hide a smile.
“So, how
did I do?” He perked up in
his seat and waiting to hear that he got all there right.
“I’ve never
seen The Notebook. The Goonies is my all-time favorite.”
Oliver frowned for a second, before he replaced it with a
certain smile. “Okay, so I
got two out of three, right?”
“My second
favorite is Interview With a Vampire. Brad Pitt is way hotter than Leo,
and besides, he’s a real
vampire. None of that sparkly ----.”
Surprisingly, Oliver didn’t seem upset when I told him he
guessed another movie wrong. Instead, he perked up when I said ‘Brad Pitt’ and ‘hot’.
“So who’s your celebrity crush?” he asked, changing the subject.
My forehead wrinkled up as I contemplated the question. It
was hard, because there were so many good-looking guys. “Ohhh!” I finally said, getting excited. “Joe Manganiello. Two words:
Mus-cles! He played a totally sexy werewolf on True Blood.”
“What?” Oliver said putting a hand to his
heart. “A werewolf? How about
your friendly, teenage heartthrob?”
“If you
are referring to yourself, then no,”
I said and choked back a snort.
“Fine,
whatever,” he said and
crossed his arms. “What’s the
last movie?”
“Well, if
I have to pick a Disney movie I’ll go with Hercules. Oh, or Mulan.
She’s badass,” I said.
Oliver shook his head. “Geez, I don’t
stand a chance with you, do I?”
“Why do
you say that?”
“Well,
your ideal man is a vampire werewolf hybrid who’s as swift as the coursing river and mysterious as the dark side of
the moon.”
I giggled. “And
the son of Zeus,” I added,
but I supposed Oliver deserved some kind of credit for being able to quote
Mulan.
He ran a hand through his hair. “And here I thought being in a band counted
for something…”
