CHAPTER 13

"I don't want to keep us a secret anymore," you say softly laying on Pierre's chest. Pierre smiles widely. "I want to be able to hold your hand and hug you without worrying that someone will see and leak it to the press. I don't like people thinking we're just friends."

"I want that too, but what about your parents?" Pierre says kissing the top of your head again. You sit up to look at him.

"I'm tired of hiding, I'm an adult, I can make my own decisions, and I can deal with the consequences even if this doesn't work out." You say sighing.

"How do you want to do this then?" Pierre asks sitting up next to you.

"I don't want to make a statement to the press or anything, I just want us to be us, and they can capture what they capture. They can speculate while we know the truth. Does that make sense?" you ask worried you were just rambling.

Pierre nods. "It makes perfect sense love. I'm so happy with you. I'm have so many date ideas for us to do in the coming weeks." You smile and kiss him.

I love you.

"We should probably get ready to go," you say climbing out of bed, "we've got a not announcement, announcement to make." You head to your closet and rummage through your clothes. You pull out a long black sleeve sequined mini dress with an open back.

Perfect.

You throw it onto a chair and pull out a pair of simple black high heels, tossing them on the chair as well. You head to the bathroom to re-do your make-up and touch up your hair while Pierre climbs out of bed coming to lean against the bathroom door.

"You're so beautiful. With or without make-up on." Pierre says staring lovingly at you.

"You know you're not so bad yourself," you say winking at him. He comes up behind you and wraps his arms around you and you can feel yourself start to relax in his arms.

"What if I brought my stuff over here?" Pierre asks. "We've been sleeping together every night anyways, and it would be a lot easier to get ready in one place than two. Plus, my room with the team is up tomorrow, so I'm kind of homeless for the next little bit anyways."

You smile and laugh, "I thought most of your stuff was here already."

"So, is that a yes?" Pierre asks.

"Yes, that's a yes." You say and he kisses your cheek.

"I'm going to get changed. I'll be back with the rest of my stuff roomie." He says winking at you, you smile and shoo him out of the bathroom.

You finish getting ready and grab your purse when you hear a knock.

Funny, Pierre has a key.

You go to the door and opening it to see Daniel.

"Hey Maddie --- whoooooah you look beautiful," he says looking you up and down.

"Hey Dani, come on don't look shocked," you say twirling, "I can clean up when I want to."

"Yes, yes you can." He says. "Anyways, I was just going to ask if you wanted to car-pool? Luisa said she'll be the designated driver tonight, she's just with Lando getting ready."

Pierre comes down the hallway suitcase and clothes in hand.

"Woah, Pierre moving in already?" Daniel says laughing.

"Yeah I took pity on him, something about him being homeless after tonight." You say laughing as Pierre walks in setting his bag down.

"What's this about me being homeless?" Pierre says mockingly.
