The "Girlfriend"

02. Contracts & Phobias

Paul's P.O.V.

The lads and I walked off stage after finishing a show in Atlanta. I was met by Brian standing off stage waiting for me.

"Paul. We need to talk." He said in a stern voice.

"There's a girl in your dressing room-" He began before he was interrupted.

"Is there a girl for me, sir?" John asked enthusiastically.

"No, John." He said before turning back to me as John frowned. "As I was saying, she is going to be your girlfriend for the next couple of months. Just until the rumors are gone."

"So you picked a random girl off the street to be my pretend girlfriend?" I asked, not very pleased with the idea.

"Yes. You're not going to have an attitude about it either. There are no exceptions. Now come with me so we can discuss everything with Victoria."

"Who's Victoria?"

"You're new girlfriend." He said walking towards the dressing room.

Victoria's P.O.V.

I waited in the room patiently for Brian to come back with Paul so we could discuss the details. Soon the door opened and in came three guys. I was guessing they were the rest of the band. I had only seen a few photos of them in the magazine. I had never really paid much attention to them really. I only knew Paul from the cheating scandals in the paper recently.

"Are you Paul's new girl?" One of them asked as he grabbed a pair of glasses from the table. The other two had walked off some place else.

"I guess I am" I said, annoyance heavy in my voice. Paul's girl. The sound of it made me cringe.

He sat beside me and put an arm around my shoulder.

"You're quite a catch. Aren't ye?" He grinned.

I awkwardly laughed and soon the door opened and in came Brian and an annoyed looking Paul.

Paul's P.O.V.

We entered the room and John already had his hands all over her. You can't leave him with a girl for two seconds without him hitting on her. Even if he's married. I can't blame him though. She was quite beautiful. She had semi-long blonde hair and brown eyes.

"How's your wife John?" I laughed as he glared at me.

"Oh, so you both try to get with other women while you're in relationships?" She said in an annoyed tone. She turned to John. "Better watch out or you'll end up with a fake girlfriend like this one." She said pointing over to me. I gave her an are-you-serious look.

"It doesn't seem like such a bad thing if I get a girl like you." He winked. She shot him a glare in response.

"Alright enough. John, get ready to leave and Paul sit beside Victoria so we can discuss this arrangement."

I sat next to Victoria as Brian laid a couple papers on the table.

"Alright. Victoria, you will be joining us for the rest of the tour and we will announce the relationship Friday morning at a press conference. You also need to act like a couple anytime you're seen in public together starting now. You will stay with Paul after the tour is over. You and Paul will date for approximately 6 months at the most until you are caught cheating with an actor we hired. You are not allowed to "break-up" with him or see other people until I have said otherwise. You will spend tonight and tomorrow getting to know each other on the way to our next show in Texas. Is this understood?"
