Chapter 18: Why Not Be Public?

As soon as you got in the door Lyrik had grabbed ahold of you.
"You are on tabloids! I mean your name isn't mentioned but from what they caught photos of I can tell!"

Lyrik jumped as they finally noticed Lev behind you.
"You... you are why they are on the news "
They giggled as they quickly turned on the TV and sped through some bullshit gossip channel. Soon enough there was Lev infront of a Cafe, only a corner of your face visible.

You stared in amazement before looking back at Lev who looked less then pleased.
"Babe... it's fine... they don't know it's me."
You walked around the couch and wrapped your arms around Levs neck. Lyrik not so subtlety watched you with a smile on their face.

Lev sighed as he looked away from both you and Lyrik.
"Yeah I know but still... they knew I have a new person in my life and the theory and fan girls are gonna go wild... they'll figure out soon."

You pulled Levs head lower to you and gently kissed the side of his face.
"That's fine... nothing too bad will happen..."
You tired to comfort him although you didn't see what was so bad about it.

"So...."
Lyrik interupted as they took a seat, facing you.
"You two togther togther... or what?"
They questioned you with a small smile.

You smiled as you slowly retracted you hands back into your body.
"Mmm.... well that's our buissness..."

"Mhm... got a shoot tomorrow... see you meet the guy you are having it with."
Lyrik smiled as they grabbed a cup of coffee from a nearby table.
"Fresh pot in the kitchen. "

You nodded as you dragged Lev away from Lyrik and the picture on the TV with you in his chest.
"I actually like the photo. Think it's cute, you protecting me and all that."
You giggled as you poured two cups of coffee, handing one to Lev.
"Any sugar or cream?"

Lev shook his head, taking the cup from you.
"It's good like this... it is a nice photo and all but I don't know..."

You poured some cream and sugar into your coffee and started sipping from it.
"Maybe... we should just go public before anyone has a chance to let's say... expose us."
You proposed to Lev, a small smile on your face. You really wanted to just be public with Lev already, go to events with him on your arm and all, you could handal fan girls.

"No. We can't."
Lev quickly responded, heading towards the living room again.

"Why not? It'll avoid unessecary drama if we did."
You quickly countered as you followed Lev, cup in hand.

"It'll cause more. Trust me experienced this before..."
Lev stopped in the entrance of the living room and briefly made eye contact with Lyrik before heading towards your room.
"...I'll just go to your room."
Lyrik had a semi worried look on their face as you two passed each other. You quickly gave them a shrug and a sigh as you disappeared.

"Then what's so wrong with it? What's the experience?"
You questioned Lev more. It didn't bother you before but he seemed too set in his ways.
"I don't know much about your past so if you don't tell me I can probally find it."
You threated Lev.

Lev sighed deeply as he sat down on your bed. The air between you two was tense and you didn't like it. You had just made it official and were already fighting. You sat down next to lev and fiddled with your hands on your lap.

"It's the break up... when you are dating papuratizy learn everything about you two and theorize and spin tales. Then when you break up it gets messy."
Lev sigh as he took one of your hands, bring it to his mouth to gently kiss it.

You smiled at him before clasping one hand in your other.
"But we'll know the truth no matter what they say. And the break up doesn't matter. I would rather a possible messy break up over you be werid whenever we go out ."

Lev slowly nodded and leaned his body agaisnt you.
"Fine then if that's what you want."
He had a small smile on his face as he nudged you.

You quickly nodded back and leaned up to kiss his check.
"We don't have to announce it or anything... but if they ask we tell, if they see us we don't hide... although I like you being protective and all."
You giggled as you leaned your head agaisnt him.

"Trust me... you'll eventually see more."
Lev laughed as he pulled you onto his lap, his lips attacking your neck.

You giggled and squirmed on his lap, your arms wrapping around his neck.
"So you are the protective type... didn't peg you as that kind of guy..."

"Well... I try me best not to be.... at least too much."
Lev nestled his head into your shoulder with a smile.

"Mmm... well I find it mighty attractive."
You pulled away from himto look down at him with a smirk on you face, the feeling of his hand holding you tight into his chest giving you such comfort.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, causing you to jump from the sudden intimate moment. Lyriks voice came from the other side of the door.
"Hun! It's important!"

You sighed as you quickly kissed Levs lip before getting off his lap and towards the door. You swung it open to a nervous looking Lyrik at your door which only made you more worried.

Lyrik quickly grabbed you and pulled you out of the room, closing the door behind you.
"Your mom is at our door saying her 50th birthday should be spent with her child!"
Your eyes instantly glazed over as you heard those words. Your mind instantly started to spin.

Why was she here? What would Lev think of her? What would SHE think of Lev?

Oh God!
