Ross's P.O.V

It's been about a week and a half, Laura and I are still as happy as ever. But this could all be ruined shortly by Leon. Who knows where he is.

I cant believe the paparazzi found out about him and my sister. That was completely out of order.

I came downstairs with Laura and Ryland was watching TV. "Hey, where's the others?" I asked, slouching down next to him along with Laura next to me.

"They've gone to Get Shaved and they're going shopping" He said. "Aw dang it. They went to Get Shaved without me?" I shouted. Ryland chuckled. "I love Get Shaved" Laura said. I laughed.

Laura and I decided to go and meet up with them. We headed to Get Shaved and they were all there, sat outside eating their delicious ice.

"Guys?!" Rydel shouted and motioned us to come over. We did so and sat down. "I cant believe you came here without me" I said. She looked at me. "It wasn't us. Rocky was the one who said don't worry about telling Ross" She laughed. I threw an evil look at him.

Stormie was reading a magazine when Rydel quickly swiped it from her hands. "Don't worry, I wasn't reading that" She sarcastically said. Rydel sighed and looked at the cover, her eyes widened. "No!" She shouted.

On the cover was Rydel with Leon. "Why would they do this?" She was getting upset. "They'll ruin my career" Mark put his arm around her. "Don't worry, cupcake. Nothing will happen" He smiled and kissed her head.

"Well, that was delicious" Riker smiled, putting his pot in the bin. "I'm gonna go back to the house and have a little swim. Anyone wanna come with?" He asked, scanning his eyes around all of us. "I will" Laura smiled. "Are you coming Ross?" She asked. I shook my head. "You and Riker go. I want a Get Shaved" I said. "Alright" She said and I kissed her gently. "See you back at the house" I smiled. She nodded and her and Riker left.

Laura's P.O.V

We got back to the house and I went upstairs to change. "Hurry up, Laura!" Riker called from outside the bedroom door.

"Well excuse me, it's easier for boys, you don't have to put two pieces of swimwear on" I called back. I tied up my bikini bra, grabbed my towel and opened the door. "Ready?" I smiled. He suddenly stayed quiet, staring at me.

I felt a little un-comfortable by his never-ending stare. "Riker?" I asked, nudging him slightly. He suddenly snapped out of it. "Oh, uh.." He scratched the back of his head. "Let's go then" He smiled and we both went downstairs and out to the pool.

I set my towel down just outside the pool. I was stood for a few minutes, the water looked freezing. Suddenly, I felt two hands on me and the next thing I knew, I was in the pool. "Riker?!" I shouted, laughing.

"Sorry!" He laughed and cannonballed into the pool, splashing me again. "This water is freezing!" I sighed. "Swim around, it'll be fine" He said and started swimming. I slowly started to swim around and I was already warming up. "Let's play a game" He suggested. "Marco Polo?" I asked. He nodded.

"Okay, I'll do Marco" He grinned. "Ok" I smiled and he closed his eyes. "Marco" He said. I swam behind him. "Polo" I replied. He turned but when he did, he splashed me. "Sorry" He chuckled. He shut his eyes again and we continued playing.

I was in the corner of the pool and he finally got me. "Dang it" I laughed. He smiled. He then looked straight into my eyes. I was getting a little un-comfortable so I looked away. He came closer to me and then gently kissed me on the lips.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and I kissed back but then I pulled away. "Riker, I cant do this" I said and jumped out of the pool, grabbing my towel and heading inside. He followed after me. "What are you talking about?" He asked, dripping wet. "Kissing you. I didn't mean to kiss back. I'm with Ross and I love Ross" I said. I went to walk into the room but he stopped me. "Ross will never know" He said. I shook my head. "Riker, i'm sorry but my heart always has and always will belong too Ross" I said and walked into the room, shutting the door.

I could hear him storm off into the other room. I felt so mean but I can't believe i kissed back. I don't know why i did. I wish Ross was here.

Just as i thought that, he came into the room. "Hey baby" He smiled and kissed me. Ross's touch just feels amazing. I smiled gently. "Have fun in the pool?" He asked. I nodded gently. "Oh, i brought you a Get Shaved back" He grinned and handed it too me. "Your favourite flavor" "Thankyou" I smiled and kissed him.

"Are you okay?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah.. i'm fine, I uh, don't feel to good right now" I lied. I got this horrible feeling inside of me when i lied. I hate lying but i don't want to get Riker hurt. Even though he kissed me, he's still my friend and Ross's own brother.

I don't want Ross and Riker's relationship ruined because Riker kissed me. "Oh" He said. "You'll feel better soon" He smiled and put his arm around me. He kissed me softly and we both watched TV.

Suddenly, the talk show came onto the TV.

"R5's own Rydel Lynch was spotted with some un-known school - kid, just a few nights ago. Rumour has it, this school - kid even dated Austin & Ally's own Laura Marano just a few nights before Rydel went out with him.

Are Rydel and Laura still friends? Reporters said they saw the kid coming onto Rydel forcefully at River Edge Park in Los Angeles. Two other youngsters were there too. Was Rydel playing them all or is it all the mysterious teenager?

To keep up to date with this story, keep watching L.A Spills"

I looked at Ross and he looked at me. We switched off the TV. "This has gone too far" Ross said, getting annoyed. "Do you think Rydel saw?" I asked. He shrugged.

We both went downstairs to see Rydel being cuddled by Ratliff. Ratliff mouthed "did you see?" to us. We both nodded in agreement.

"I don't know what they have against me. This is old news now. Leon's completely out of my life" She sighed. "Don't worry, i'm sure it wont last long" Ratliff said and kissed her cheek.

Will this ruin Rydel's career? Do you think Laura should tell Ross her and Riker kissed? Just inbox me or comment below.
