paparazzi || raura short story.

four

Laura pulls out her phone once she gets out of her studio.

to : ross
from : laura
hey, you home? we need to talk.

Not even one minute later, Ross replied.

to : laura
from : ross
yeah, i am.

to : ross
from : laura
k, I'll be over in 15.

She puts her phone back into her pocket then enters her car. She starts the engine and starts to drive to Ross's house.

Meanwhile, Ross was pacing around nervously in his room. He knew Laura would question him about the magazine. What should he say? Should he lie? All he knew was he didn't want to lose the long-lasting friendship with Laura. Besides, he knew Laura hated lies, and can see through a person very easily. So what should he do? Tell the truth? Lie? Both had negative results.

Ross hid his face in his hands and groaned frustratedly. Why did he even accept this job in the first place? Laura had asked him to think over it bazillion times before.

"Ross!" Laura ran into his embrace after recording for her new album. Ross had waited for her outside the building so they could have a sleepover.

The blonde chuckled. "Miss me?" he teased, and pulled her closer by the waist. Laura mumbled inaudible words into his shirt before letting go.

"I have something to tell you, and I'm afraid you're not going to like it," Ross said nervously.

Laura gave him a worried look. "You're not going to be my friend anymore?"

"What? No!" Ross took her hands. "You're too important to lose." Laura blushed and asked, "Then what's wrong?"

Ross took a deep breath. "I got a job." Laura looked at him confused. "But why are you sad?"

"Laur, it is as a paparazzi," Ross spoke fast, but the brunette caught every word.

She took a step back, eyes widening. "Did you take it?"

"No, not yet at least, I wanted to tell you first. Your opinion is the most vital to me," Ross said.

Laura smiled lightly at him, "Well, Ross, it's your job, so you choose if you take it or not. But think over it first. So many times."

The doorbell rang.

"Oh shit," Ross mutters, then runs his hand through his hair frustrated. He trudged his feet slowly towards the door, and unwillingly opened it.

There Laura stood. Ross visibly gulps then lets her in. They sat together on the couch, Ross fumbling with his fingers and Laura looking at the nervous blonde.

"Ross, you do know about the most recent magazine Cheetah Beat, right? I mean, you work for them so," Laura starts the conversation, instantly making Ross want to dig himself a hole and never come out.

Ross decided not to lie. "Yes of course."

"And do you have the idea that I am on the front cover of it?"

"Yes, I do."

"Do you have anything to do with it? Please be honest."

Ross could feel his heart beating faster and faster. He took a deep breath and before he could speak, Laura receives a phone call. "Excuse me for a moment," Laura says and picks up the phone.

Ross' thoughts then started to drown out Laura's voice. He really had to tell Laura the truth, he hated lying to his best friend. He felt like he was betraying her.

When Laura hangs up, she turns to Ross. "Hey, sorry. I have to go now. There's something wrong with my newly recorded song."

Ross felt both relieved and frustrated at the same time. "I'll walk you to the door." he says, standing up from the couch. Laura smiles and walks behind him.

He opens the front door and Laura walks out. She kisses his cheek and left.

Ross closes the door and slides down it, his hands caging his head.
