Don't Hide Your Love

Tell Him

"Hey Paul." Said Chaz opening the front door.

"Heyy babe." said Paul and gave Chaz a peck on his cheek. "Where's your mom?"

"Garden." He said moving from the door. "What's that?"

"Oh it's something I want to tease your mom about." she laughed and tilted the magazine for Chaz to see.

"Oh my god! Did they say anything about them?"

"Oh no, They must of thought he was part of her security."

"Hmm well that's good."

"Why was he in with her?"

"Well we were at the carnival and he tagged along and I'm not saying anything but, I'm not sure friends is the correct statement." Chaz smirked.

"I know!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed!" She chuckled.

"I hope he stays around." Chaz said lightly.

Pauly knew it was hard for Chaz to get along with Cher's boyfriends, he always thought she deserved better and that always led to Chaz challenging them, so just seeing the potential in Cher and Rob and the effect it would have on Chaz made her smile.

"Me too."

"Cheralinaaa, I have something for youuu." Pauly said in a tone Cher hated and referred to a school teacher voice.

"Paulette." she replied in the same tone.

"Soooooooooo, do you want to tell me what you doing yesterday?" she smiled as she sat next to Cher in a sun lounger.

"Why? What was I doing?" She said peering over her sunglasses and to get friend.

"Hmmh, so Bagel boy, isn't just for bagels anymore."

"What!?" Cher said sitting up and looking at her friend in the eye.

Pauly pinched the magazine and waved in front of her face and Cher snatched and put it on her lap.

She immediately saw the picture on the front, it wasn't the main image but it was there and she frantically flicker through to find the article.

"Don't worry, there is nothing about him in there, I just." she cleared her throat "Friends huh?"

"Yes."

Pauly raised an eyebrow.

"Don't look at me like that." she said passing the magazine back over and Pauly rested it on the arm.

"So he's met the kids already huh?"

"Yeah? He already knew Lijah."

"Chaz seems to like him"

"Oh well good for Chaz." she resumed her position on the lounger.

"Come on, I need more." Pauly raised and sat on Cher's lounger blocking the sun from her and she pulled her sunglasses.

"He saw me and I asked him if he wanted to tag along, that was it really."

"Hm?"

"And he may." she said quietly "of went to Kiss me." She returned her sunglasses nervously trying to avoid eye contact.

"OH my god! Well did he?"

"No, Almost, and then I saw the paparazzi."

"And they didn't see?"

"Doesn't look like it." she paused before continuing "His girlfriend is also no more."

"What!?" Pauly squealed and pinched Cher's leg playfully "and you said you wouldn't have your way with him!"
