They Don't Know About Us (Kylie x Malia)

Chapter 3

Introducing a new character in this one

----

"Let's go people!" They all hurry inside seeing as they were late by about 5 minutes. Which seems like nothing but in the industry, it's really an hour or two, depending. "Kylie, your manager wants to see you. She's by crafty." Kylie groans as she makes her way over. "Dare i ask, why are you late?" Her manager snacks on a chocolate chip cookie. "Um....i plead the fifth?" Kylie smiles innocently. "Ky!" "I'm sorry! I just got.....hung up with something. Won't happen again, Mel." "Mhmm." Mel nods. "Something or someone?" She asks. Kylie's eyes widen. "Um...." "Don't lie to me...." Kylie sighs. "Ok, you caught me." "I always do. Please tell me you're at least careful." Mel raises her eyebrows. Kylie nearly chokes on air. "It-it's not like that. I swear." "Bitch, i hope the fuck not! She's still seventeen!" Mel takes out her phone as a notification pops up. "Wait, how do you know who I'm talking about?" She looks at her confused. "Because i know you Ky, and i know Malia. I've known you for years."

It was true. At the start of Kylie's career, her dad was her manager until she was starting to hit puberty, that was when Mel approached them. She offered to sign Kylie to her management company, promising that she will do her best to make all of her dreams come true. Which sounds like an empty promise. An offer that was too good to be true. But when Alex saw how well Mel was taking care of his daughter, all the doors she opened and all the connections she had. He calmed down and let her do her job. Of course, being nine years older than Kylie and having experience in the music industry and the acting business did help ease his mind a bit. Kylie sighs. "What am i gonna do?" She mumbles as they walk to her dressing room. She sits down on the couch with her head in her hands. "Well, i mean, if you like her, that's fine. Just remember what i said, she's still seventeen." Kylie shakes her head. "We are definitely not going to do anything, don't worry."

Mel shrugs. "I mean, you never know. Then again, in this industry, you could still do something, just don't get caught. Also, you two are barely a year apart, it's not that big of a deal." "Oh my god." Kylie hides her face even more. "Can we literally talk about, literally anything else?" She begs. "Ok, you wanna talk about why you have that hickey?" Kylie slaps her neck immediately. "Uhh...." "Mhmm. Like i said, just be careful. I don't care if you wanna be with her. Honestly, i think it's sweet, you two are cute together. Just be careful." Mel warns her. Kylie nods. "I will, thanks." She pulls her in for a hug. "I care about you, Kylie. I just want you to be careful. I want you to be happy, but careful." Kylie smiles and nods. "Wait, how did you know about us anyways?" "I saw you two walking in from the car, i saw those glances, hidden smiles, blushes. I went through the same thing. I still do." Mel confesses. "You and your wife have been married for what? Ten years?" Kylie smiles. "Twelve, but who's counting?" Mel shrugs as she hands her a water "Now, come on. You got one more interview today and then you can go back to the hotel and rest....or you can go make out with Malia more, whatever works for you." Kylie chokes on her water. "You did that on purpose." Mel smiles and nods. "Yes i did. Now, where's Ruby? I gotta to talk, she still hasn't signed that contract i sent over." Kylie shrugs. "I don't know, dressing room, i think?" Mel nods. "And Malia?" "She's doing her interview with Morgan." "Oh, so you know where your girlfriend is but you don't know where your best friend of a decade is?" She smirks. Kylie blushes. "Shut up!" Mel shakes her head and walks away towards the dressing rooms. "Remember, be careful!" She glances between Kylie and Malia, who's wrapping up her interview.

Kylie takes a deep breath and walks over to Malia. "Hey, can we talk? And i mean actually talk, this time?" Malia blushes. "Yeah." She nods before walking over to a secluded area, still in public view though. Wouldn't want a repeat of last time. "Um, so i just talked to Mel. She knows about us. Or about you and me." Malia's eyes widen. "Oh no, was she pissed?" Kylie shakes her head. "Actually, um, she was really supportive. She just wants us to be careful, that's all." Malia nods. "Ok, makes sense." "Which reminds me, would you like to go on a date? Officially, i mean?" Kylie bites her lip. Malia smiles at her with tenderness in her eyes. "Yeah, I'd like that." Kylie smiles back. "Ok....just don't jump me again, please. I want to actually take this slow." Malia blushes. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I can explain. I was....um, i just got off my period, so my hormones were kinda...." Kylie nods. "Oh, i see. Yeah, i get that way too. That and cramps." Malia winces. "Ouch, I can't even imagine that. I just get back pains." "Ooh." "Yeah, poor Mel. She has to go to CVS for heating pads every time." Malia smiles. "Well, maybe i can be the one that does that for you now?" She grabs her hands. "Oh I'm sure Mel would love that." Kylie laughs before she rubs her hand with her thumb. "So, slow?" Malia nods. "Slow."
