Paris POV

Matisse and I made our way to the apartment door and we heard laughter- tons of laughter. It sounded like dying seals. I opened the door and Matisse followed me in seeing Jalen and Laylah sitting next to each other with Tobias next to them. They were laughing at Quez and Darius who were wrestling, Miles was making a video, Anthony and Devonta were both bringing food to the recreational room. Greg was crying of laughter at their dumb shenanigans. Everyone seemed to be having fun, but I don't think Tobias noticed Jalen's arm around Laylah.

"Hey guys," I greeted all of them.

"Hey Laylah," everyone replied back.

"Matisse?" Tobias said as he saw him walking over.

"Hey," he waved at them all. Oh no, Tobias is here and he doesn't know.

"He-"

"Laylah come with me real quick," Jalen interrupted her and took her out. She was about to save my ass but why did Jalen stop her.

"What's homeboy doing here," Miles questioned.

"Yea whatcha doing here Matisse," Devonta also asked.

"I got bored, so I asked Paris if I could come and hand with Jalen or Devonta," he lied. I nodded my head ans slowly walked towards Jalen and Laylah who were talking near the bathroom. It was more secluded than the rest of the penthouse since it had its own little hallway.

"Laylah I think its time they tell him," Jalen whispered.

"Okay but what if he doesn't like that," she questioned.

"Oh well, they gotta figure that out themselves. She brought him over without thinking, so now she gotta fix it."

"Just because he knows about us does not mean he will be fine with Matisse and Paris," Laylah whispered back. She began to walk towards me so I ran to the kitchen. They couldn't know about me eavesdropping but why did Jalen want Tobias to find out about Matisse and I so badly? I'm starting to dislike this man.

Omniscient POV

Paris was having a conversation with Laylah while Jalen was sitting next to Tobias, chatting.

"Look man, I need to talk to Paris," Tobias told Jalen.

"About damn time," Jalen muttered.

"Huh," Tobias asked.

"I said Alright bet," Jalen quickly covered himself. Tobias nodded and went to find Paris who was questioning Laylah about Jalen.

"Girl, why does he want Tobias to know of Matisse and I," she questioned.

"Since he was super chill about Jalen and I. I don't think his intentions were the way you thought they were. He just wants all this hiding to be over so Matisse can be comfortable here and no one has to worry about Tobias randomly popping up. That would just make things worse," Laylah explained.

"I mean I understand what you are saying but I don't know if I trust him though. Did he tell Tobias anything yet?"

"No. Bro you need to chill on Jalen. I get why you feel that way but I already told you that's not what's happening, we aren't exposing you guys," with the last word Laylah began to leave and Paris completely ignored her. She still thought they were lying and wanted Paris in trouble.

As Laylah began to leave Tobias was walking in. He had to duck since he was a bit taller than the door frame and couldn't entirely fit. As he was walking in he noticed Laylah walking out and a bit annoyed, but annoyed enough not to hug Tobias on the way out like she normally does. Instead, she went straight towards the kitchen.

"What did you say to Laylah?"

"What makes you think I said anything to her?"

"The fact that she is never mad when she is with you, but she is right now. Plus she didn't give me a hug on the way out." Tobias examined Paris, she was avoiding eye contact and was typing away on her phone. She could clearly care less about Laylah as of now.

"Why are you here?"

"Why are you acting like a b*tch?" Responded Tobias, he clearly didn't like her attitude. In response Paris gasped. She wasn't expecting that from her best friend's older brother. "Anyways what's up with you and Tisse."

"Nothing."

"LIES," Tobias quickly pulled out his phone and started showing her pictures of the two. He found them on his instagram while scrolling on his fan pages. The person saw the two strolling in the park late at night while losing hands.

"Let me guess Jalen showed that to you," Paris reacted.

"What does this have to do with- Hold on, I gotta talk to Laylah." With the last word Tobias went to talk to Laylah leaving Paris bamboozled. Until she eventually realized, Tobias figured out the issue. But Paris wanted to have some space and decided to go to Matisse's house...
