Publicity was never something anyone liked, expect mangers. Colin especially hated publicity, but after he got together with Penelope they were getting all of it.
It was more like something that just came with the job. And they knew that but right now they really didn't care.
"Pen, do you want to come with me to the studio?" Colin asks, he started filming today after a few months.
"Sure, why not. I don't have anything to do today." Penelope smiled.
"Good. Because I didn't want to go without you." Colin replied as he grabbed her hand.
Penelope smiled, pulled Colin's head closer to hers and kissed him.
"Let's go then." Penelope smiled.
Once they got to the studio, there was reporters and journalists right in the front.
"It's the first time we're out together, they're gonna eat this up" Colin groaned.
"I know, but there's nothing we can do about it babe. It's now or never." Penelope replied, rubbing his hand gently.
It doesn't take a second after they got out of the car for all of the reports to rush up to them.
"How long have you guys been together?"
"Are you guys actually a couple or is this for publicity?"
"Are you guys actually over Nessa and Jordan?"
"Have you seen Jordan's reaction to the relationship?"
That one stopped Penelope.
"What do you mean?" Penelope asked.
"Jordan reacted to the relationship on the show he's on." a reporter replies.
Before anything else Colin pulled Penelope inside and closed the door behind them.
"Do you know what they're talking about?" Penelope asked.
"Uh, kinda." Colin says.
"How bad is it?" Penelope asked.
Colin didn't say anything else, but he pulled up the video.
Penelope watched, she couldn't believe what was coming out of Jordan's mouth.
"I don't know why she's trying to move on so fast. She can't replace me that easily." Jordan says, as he has his arm wrapped around some girl.
"That bitch. I can replace him better then he can replace me. You're better then him. Always have and always will be." Penelope rambled on.
"Pen, baby, it's okay. You can't let him affect you." Colin replied.
"How? He broke me and he thinks he can just say that after I'm trying to find someone else who makes me happy? It's not fair. He treated me like shit for so long and he still is and I just sit aside and watch. It's not fair, Colin." Penelope was in tears by the end of saying all that. She doesn't know what she was even saying, she just said it.
Colin wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head as she cried into his chest.
"I just want him and everyone else to leave me, us, alone." Penelope says as Colin combed his fingers through her hair.
Normally Colin's the one who would stay stuff like that. Penelope always felt it but she never said it out loud. So for her to say it out loud meant she was fed up.
"It's okay, pen. It's okay. I'm right here." Colin whispered
Penelope couldn't stop. She just couldn't get away from Jordan. No matter how hard she tried. She hated it, but she couldn't.
"I'm sorry." Penelope whispered
"Don't apologize." Colin whispered, he kissed the top of her head as she calmed down
