“Don’t tease it’s not nice,” she told him as he pulled away. Normally she would’ve wrapped her legs around him to keep him close but even she was willing to sacrifice his touch for pancakes. Piper watched him cook both admiring him and undressing him in her mind. She didn’t know how much she appreciated him until she got home every night. “You don’t know what I mean,” she said using a fake offended tone. Piper hopped off the counter and wrapped her arms around him, her hands slipping under his shirt. “Shower. GIve me ten minutes then come join me,” she told him giving his butt a squeeze before walking away.

“Right, I can never tell what’s on your mind,” Jared replied over his shoulder as he finished cooking her plate. He barely moved at her touch, it had become their thing whenever he passed by her no mattering if they were in public or on their own. A smirk tugged on his lips as she walked past and he dulled the heat of the stove. Just enough for it to keep the food warm and not burn anything down. He gave her the time she asked for, it was his chance to think about how lucky he had been to run into her when he did and how it had all fallen so much easier than times before. “Got room for one more in there?” He asked as he started taking off his clothes once he was in the bathroom.

Edward could feel her hand jitter in his as the car moved along the streets. “You’ll be fine, they’ll love you.” He reminded her even though the irony of them coming out so publicly wasn’t lost on him. Their first public appearance together meant something, it would change her life. He knew exactly every small thing she would have to give up the moment the door opened and how it would never be the same. The bubble that they had been so careful with had a timer on it and it was about to pop. Getting his family to agree to any of these had been an uphill battle that was met with every reason why they shouldn’t do so but still, they both had managed to make it to that point. “What are you scared about? Tell me” His tone was as soft as this thumb grazing over her knuckles. He had been so worried about keeping her safe and her life intact as much as he could; he was willing to do so much for her. He had offered to take a step back from his duties and talks about the line of succession had been made behind closed doors but this was about her, what she was feeling and if she thought that this was the right time for them to be making their first public outing to the world.

Regan caught her breath when she finally ran out of things to scream at him. Rage still coursed through her body, leaving her practically shaking. She was concerned about what would happen once the rage left her. Regan wasn’t sure how she would handle the reality of her sex tape being out in the world. Right now she was so focused on being angry at Lucas that she hadn’t stopped to think of anything else. His words made her do a double take. She hadn’t even thought about the possibility that he hadn’t done this. The fight suddenly left her body as she sat down on the bed. Regan focused on him, looking into his eyes to see if he was lying. They hadn’t known each other long, but in the short time they had been together she had learned to read him. She could tell he was telling the truth, an earnest look in his eye and ton in his voice.

“I don’t know what to think right now,” she admitted. She flopped back on the bed her face buried in the crook of her arm. His yelling was new to her, she’d never seen him get upset before. She watched him from the bed, leaning up on her arms. She stayed silent not even knowing what to say. Everything he said was the truth and it sunk in how wrong she had been to assume the worst of him. “I’m sorry.” Her words were as genuine as he had been before. “I know you’re not using me and you being here is everything to me right now.” She couldn’t have gone through this alone. The fact that they were in this together was the reassurance that she needed. She reached out to him, her hand resting on his arm. “What’s there to do Lucas? We can have it deleted but everyone knows nothing on the internet is ever gone.” It was a sad truth but needed to be said. Their stupid decision was going to be a part of their lives forever.

Lucas let out a sigh of relief once he heard that she believed him, it was what he needed to hear from her. With his arm wrapped around her, he kept her close and focused on her breathing “Don’t apologize, you’re angry and scared I get that.” And he did, he didn’t blame her for having emotions especially when it came to something so personal. “Well, we can face this head on, make a statement and prove that this won’t break up.” That was option one, it was the one that his team would push for. “Or we can get out of here, you can pick where and just hide out until this blows over because it will. In a couple weeks, none of this will matter I promise you that.” The celebrity news cycle was good about finding something about someone else fairly quickly. “I can’t say that’ll it be gone but I’ll make sure we find how it got leaked alright?”

“Cut the shit. I’m not buying you a set of Waterford when up until ten seconds ago I thought this was some elaborate prank.” Anger flooded Savannah’s body all over again as she waved her hands and the invitation in the air. Alongside the anger was sadness. The last shred of hope she had had that this was indeed a joke was gone. She got the slightest bit of satisfaction when she saw the way he looked at her. He still wanted her that much she could tell, or at least she told herself that to feel better. For all she knew he was in love, that he had left her and found his soulmate. Savannah seriously doubted that was the case, but it was one of the few explanations that made sense. Her eyes narrowed at him. She hadn’t broken eye contact with him once since she’d walked in, not wanting to show any signs of weakness. All the anger she had been suppressing since she’d gotten the invite was projected at him through her glare. She walked up to his desk and grabbed a pen. Pulling out the invite she scrawled ‘hell no’ across the card, chucking it at him for added flair. “Here’s my RSVP. Thanks for nothing Nolan.”

“Marriage isn’t a joke,” Nolan added between her word, almost adding gasoline to the fire that she spat at him. His eyes followed as she scribbled all over the emboldened card, he hadn’t even realized that it was the one that his fiancee had decided to go with but that didn’t matter to him. “Are you done throwing your temper tantrum? Or do I have to get security in here?” He didn’t want her gone, far from it, but he wanted to know how much anger she had in her. His hand pressed the card next to his suit before putting it into his pocket. “You came all the way here to make a fool of yourself Savannah, glad that hasn’t changed.”

In the past after a long night of work Piper would stop off at the local diner and pick up a greasy burger and some fries. She’d go back to her dingy apartment and eat it while tv. These days she spent more time at Jared’s then she did her own place. Piper unlocked the door and immediately felt at ease. Her mouth watered at the sight of pancakes. “Babe I think my panties just got a little wet,” she teased as she dropped her bag down and hopped up on the counter. “How many times do I have to tell you that you don’t have to wait up for me?”

“We can take care of that once you get some food in you.” He moved closer to her giving the crook of her neck a kiss before going back to food. It was like she had given him new energy to get through his life, that what was the part he was the most thankful for. “I think about eight times now, but you don’t really mean it so I’ll just keep staying up.” He could get sleep whenever he wanted, preferably with her, but this felt right. “Did you want to shower or eat first?

Tired didn’t begin to cover what Jared had been feeling, exhaustion was close to it but still, that didn’t do it justice. The beginning of a new semester always felt like the school day lasted longer than it should be but still, he moved around his kitchen trying and failing at making pancakes. The clock on the stove read four in the morning, he would have to be up in a couple of hours to get ready for work but Piper would be home any second. It was the only reason he was up. He heard the door unlocked and soon his girl came into view. “I figured you’d be hungry.” @babychainreplies

Savannah had no idea what she was doing. Ever since she’d opened her mail she’d been in a mind rage or completely out of it. She used the return address and the help of Google to find him. She didn’t care if she came across as crazy anymore, he should’ve seen this coming. Of course, she put on her best outfit on and walked into his office like she wasn’t dying inside. Truthfully, she had no idea how she kept it together. Her hand shook as she held the wedding invitation in her hand, his wedding invitation. “Got this in the mail,” she told him, placing it on his desk. “Thought it’d be polite to give my congratulations in person.” She looked up at him locking eyes with him. Her heart raced in her chest, but she did everything in her to keep it together. She still couldn’t believe this had happened to her. She had barely begun to deal with him leaving and now she had to deal with him getting married to another woman.

The invitation in her hand, he recognized it immediately. He was forced to sit through two hours of looking at different swatches and font until he finally walked away when he started to feel like he was losing brain cells. “But did you bring a gift? We’re registered at Barney’s” Deflection, it what he was good at even if it simply added to her rage. His eyes could help but glance down at the perfectly fitted dress and how the anger inside of her was drawing him in. The touch and go between them was always his favorite part, her passion was the second. “I didn’t know she was going to send one to you Savannah. You don’t have to show up.” Hell, it’d be worse for him if she did. Every time he’d be saying his vows if he was glancing over at her. “Probably would been cheaper if you had just sent back the RSVP”

Silas hated Saturday mornings more than anything else, with his job it wasn’t a relaxing job but adding more to the farce of their lives together. The early morning run around the cul-de-sac waving at his sweater-vested neighbors all with perfectly shaped grass. But it’s the assignment he got after the mess he left behind in Rochester, now he was stuck in the middle of suburbia with a partner he hated for his fake wife. “No yeah, of course, we’ll make it” He yelled back at his neighbor inviting them to their two years old’s birthday party. Why the hell a two-year-old needed a birthday party was beyond him but it would blow his cover if they didn’t show up. The cookie cutter house was spacious but still new, it allowed him and Camilla to use the excuse that it still wasn’t finished or something wasn’t done to their liking to not have people over. Out of view from the front door were screens and monitors and everything else they might need for their new assignment. He picked up one of the decorative towels from the bathroom to wipe the sweat off his forehead and aimed it at his wife’s face. “It’s Kai’s birthday don't forget.” He mocked the tone that had just been given to him by the overhyped PTA mom. “DId you get anything?” @babychainreplies​

Nolan moved around the paperwork on his desk, none of it made sense and he didn’t want it too. Everything needed to be signed not only by him but by his future bride. It was a marriage of convenience they both knew that but it seemed to him that he was more aware of it than Shelby was. She got a husband and he was able to break through the threshold that was the Manhattan business circle. It was all he needed to finally say that he made it. His clubs were growing, there was no denying that but this new venture would put him above the rest. The door cracked open and he didn’t bother to look up. “I’m busy- I told you to not bother me.” It was silent for a second when he expected to hear the meek voice of his assistant and it pulled him out of the mess of white papers. “Savannah--” It was a name he hadn’t said in almost a year and the blonde was the last person he expected to see in his doorway. “What are you doing here?” @babychainreplies

As the seconds ticked away Regan waited for Lucas to arrive at the hotel room that had basically been their home away from home. Usually she felt good here, alive and excited, waiting for him to come to her so they could be together. Right now she hated it, she hated thee boring bedspread and the tacky paintings on the wall. It took everything in her not to rip them off the walls and smash them against the desk that had only ever been used as a surface for the two of them to have sex on. Regan cringed when she thought about it. The one memory of them naked on the desk made her mind flood with other memories just like it. The bathroom counter, the shower, the floor, and the bed. The bed where she’d shed her clothes for him for the first time. The night in the club was still fresh in her mind, like it was yesterday. As cliche as it made her feel she still thought about it. She couldn’t stop herself from thinking about his mouth and his fingers and how he’d made her feel more than any other man. 

Regan had turned her phone off when she got to the room. She didn’t want to hear from anyone except for him. There weren’t even words for how angry she was. Sure the sex tape had been her idea, there was no way her innocent boy bander would ever dream of doing something like that until she said it. They had sworn that it would be safe for just them and now it was for everyone. She stopped pacing around the room and sat on the plush king bed. Her head fell to her hands as she tried to keep herself together. She couldn’t believe what a cliche she was for this. Another reality star with a sex tape, very original. Before she could give into her overwhelming emotions Lucas burst in the room. Her mouth opened to speak but he beat her too it. “Am I okay? No I’m not okay. What the fuck would make you think I’m okay. Why don’t you tell me how this happened? Is this your idea, your way of getting some press for the album?” Regan was screaming getting right up in his face. She sounded like a crazy person and she probably looked like one too. “You pretend to be so innocent but you’re not are you? Well congratulations you played me good Pratt.”

Lucas let her yell, let her get all the anger she had out without saying a word even though his mind was going a mile a minute. He knew the double standard of the industry, hell he tried to fight against as much as possible but it made little waves. At the end of the day, this would be more so about her than him, her name would be run through the mud and he would be given high fives but he didn’t care about that, he was more concerned with the small shake in her words and how upset she was. “I don’t know how the fuck this happened” He blurted out in the small second she gasped for air and he held her face so he could have her full attention. “I didn’t do this, Regan my team didn’t fucking do this, I can tell you that for certain.” His eyes narrowed in on her so she could see he was telling the truth. 

“I wouldn’t put my album above you , do you really think I’m that fucking shitty? That’d I use you for press? If I did why would I be standing here? If this was my plan all along I would be eating this up but I’m not. I’m here with you and I will stay here until we figure this shit out.” He yelled back at her in a straight tone not caring if the people next to them could hear their argument. If everyone now knew every detail of their personal life, why not add more yelling? “What do you want to do? We have options but it’s ultimately you’re choice.” He said softly running his thumb over her cheeks to show her that he was serious about it all, about her and about them. “What do you want Regan?”

Chloe had never been good at being the center of attention off of the runway. She tended to be the person that shied away attention. It confused a lot of people, since she was so open about her body, but she liked to keep her inner self to herself. She hated her birthday, anything that required her to give a speech, and interviews. Having the undivided attention of people she didn’t know made her uncomfortable, but she had learned to live with it. Something she never got used to was having the attention of an attractive man on her. She could hear her mother’s voice in her head telling her to make eye contact. Her hand extended and she shook his making sure her eyes weren’t glued to his feet. She let out a laugh at his comment. He was right, she had been showered with compliments all night, but his was the first one to actually make her blush. “Thank you, that’s really nice of you. Did you enjoy the show?” she asked politely, tucking her hair behind her ear. Her question was one that most people would ask for no reason other than to make polite conversation, but she did genuinely want to know if he enjoyed himself. Doing the fashion shows was one of her favorite parts of the job. She thrived during nights like this and during fashion weeks. “You know I have to admit I didn’t except you to be in the crowd tonight. Doesn’t really seem like your kind of event,” she mentioned casually. It was a bold statement for her to make. She didn’t know this man outside of what she’d read over the years in the magazines. He seemed to be the type to push the limits but a lingerie fashion show was surprising. Somehow they had become separated from the group, the conversation now just the two of them. She much preferred it this way. She was better at one on one conversations than in a group. “What was your favorite part?”

“I did, it’s different than what you’ve seen on tv.” He cringed at his own comment, it made him sound like an active fan when in reality, it was the first time he had managed to pay attention for so long. He enjoyed her smile, quickly realizing the blush on her cheeks wasn’t from the lights or the makeup but from the genuine feeling of being happy. Edward was always good at reading people, it came with the lifestyle of being surrounded by people that always wanted something from either him or his family. That wasn’t what he was getting from her, quite the opposite in fact. “Oh, you don’t know that the wildlife preservation fund and the victoria’s secret fashion show go hand in hand? You learn something new, you’re welcome.” He tacked on with a sip of his drink as they moved through the crowds almost oblivious to him because it was so natural to do. “The snow one.” He answered easily enough, the name of the segment was lost on him, but it was the one that made him notice her in an instant. His eyes looked for her in every segment after that only to be disappointed until the final walk. “I promise I’m not being a kiss arse right now, it’s the only one I can remember.” His accent pulled through his words only to be more enunciated when he got more relaxed, honestly, it was the calmest that he had been in months. While the rumors of anti-monarchist had always been around, now it seemed more of an actual need for worry and it made his entire family and the crown more aware of their actions. He knew him being there wouldn’t help the matter but at that moment he didn’t care and he’d do it again. “How long have you been doing this? Modeling Imean? How did you get into that?” Having a title meant little choice in what he wanted to do, but he was curious about her and it was clear to his handler that simply talking to one model was better than being noticed in a hotel with three of them. “I hope that’s not too much to ask.”
