Nic's POV

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked Kei as he sat down next to me on the bed. "Hi, it's Nic here" I said as I glanced over at him. "And Kei" he said as he grabbed my hand. "And we wanted to address the rumors that I have been not only in a relationship but that I had been stepping out of the relationship with other people. Yes, I am in fact in a relationship but no, I haven't been cheating on Kei" I said as I squeezed his hand. "I don't know how or why those rumors started but they simply aren't true" I added. "While we have decided to go public with our relationship we also ask you to respect our privacy and our decision to keep details of our life out of the public eye" Kei said as he sat straight up. "We are humans before anything else people label us, whether that is as a model, or a celebrity" I said as I looked into the camera. "And the way the media has been talking about me lately is not the way you talk about another human" I said before ending the video.

"Fuck, that was hard" I said as I sent it to my publicist and posted it on my Instagram. "You know it was was what needed to be done" Kei said as he squeezed my hand again. "Did you guys finish the video yet?" Tetsuro asked as he and Kou came into the room. "We're almost to Greece, you can let the sun melt all your worries away while the water laps at your toes" Kei said as he kissed me. "We should be docking in about 20 minutes" Merle said as she peeked her head into the room. "You should get changed, you know they'll be waiting to get a picture of you after all of the shit that has happened" Tetsuro said as I walked over to my closet. "How about this?" I asked them as I pulled out a black leather mini skirt and a cropped white top. "That'll look great on you, wear it with these" Tetsuro said as he handed me a pair of black Louboutin pumps. "Perfect" I said as I started to get changed. "Moose" I yelled out as my bumbling puppy came charging into the room, his tail was wagging.

"We need to get a collar and a leash on you baby" I said as I grabbed the collar of the wall and fastened it around his neck. "Now your leash" I said as I clipped it on. "Wear this also" Kei said as he handed me a blue Tiffany's box. "What did you buy now?" I asked him playfully as I undid the bow and opened it. "Kei, you shouldn't have" I said as I saw he got me a necklace with a diamond encrusted cloud on it. "How many times do I have to say that I know I didn't have to, but that I wanted to" Kei said as he took it out of the box and fastened it around my neck. "It's beautiful, thank you" I said as I kissed him. "We're here" Merle said as she popped her head into the room again. "Let's go enjoy Greece" Kei said as he grabbed my hand and he led me out of the room and onto the main deck. "It's so pretty" I said as I took in the view that surrounded me. "I knew you would like it" he said while planting a kiss behind my ear.

"I love it so fucking much" I said as I smiled at him. "Then let's go look at it up close" Kei said as we walked off the yacht. "Vacation time baby" Kou said as he jokingly placed a kiss onto Tetsuro's mouth. "What the fuck dude!" he yelled as he wiped off his mouth. "Nic, is it true that you cheated on Kei? Come on give us the inside information" a paparazzi yelled as he snapped pictures of us. "It's okay Moose" I said as I scratched his head. "Just keep walking, don't pay them any attention" Kei said to me as I tried to stay calm. "I'm right here, they won't even dare lay a finger on you" he whispered as we walked towards the house we would be staying at. "I have a better idea" I said as I flipped off the photographers, making their shots unusable. "Fuck it" Kei said as he also started flipping them off. "Hold still" Tetsuro yelled as he got behind the photographers and took a picture of the scene in front of him. "That was pretty badass guys" Koutaro yelled as we rushed into the building and quickly closed the door.

"Glad someone thought so" I said as I showed them an article called "plain adorable or plan psycho? Let's do a deep dive into the unstable relationship between Nicolette Jackson and Kei Tsukishima. "Fuck, they're probably pissed" I said as I pulled out my phone to see that Mia was calling me. "Hello?" I said as I answered the phone and put it on speaker. "You've only been in Greece like 5 minutes and you've already made my job 5 times harder already" Mia yelled as I tried to hold back my laughter. "This isn't funny Nic, flipping off the paparazzi, really? You thought that was a good idea?" She snapped. "Kei, I know you are here too, don't hide from me cause I will swim to Greece and knock some sense into you" Mia yelled causing him to chuckle. "I'm 6'2, you're 5'1, I'd love to see you try and do your worst" Kei said sarcastically as she squealed in frustration before she ultimately hung up. "Fuck, she's pissed" I said as I slipped my phone back into my pants pocket. "Congrats on making headlines guys" Merle said as she came into the villa and headed into her room.
