Preston's POV

I heard my phone ring in my pocket while I was still holding on to Rob, He was so strong and courageous to be holding onto me like this for so long, But I needed it. I felt like the most hated person on the planet, I felt like no one liked me. Even if I did have millions of fans, I don't know. It just felt wrong.

Rob: "Preston, Was anyone else here last night with us and Raquel?"

Preston: "What?"

I turned my head to face the screen and saw the images of twitter of me kissing Rob. I felt my breathing quicken, I'm not gay, Am I?

Rob: "Hey Preston relax, Breathe for me baby."

I'm not gay. I know I'm not gay. So then why the fuck was I feeling so relaxed, so calm, so... happy with Rob holding me. But what about Raquel, I was so angry last night I fired her, She didn't deserve that. She was angry and hurt that she walked in on Rob and I without context, she didn't know what was going on and I understand why she would be upset. Maybe I should go talk to her at the very least. See if I can organize something to help her.

Rob: "Are you thinking about Raquel?"

Preston: "She didn't deserve what happened."

Rob: "I don't hold grudges."

Preston: "I want to go see her. As you said, She probably had a good reason to not turn up yesterday."

Rob: "Do you want me to come with you baby?"

Preston: "Just hold me please, Please just hold me."

Rob: "I won't let go until you are ready, I'm just trying to find out where these images came from, Someone who would have had to have access to this office, and that kind of narrows it down a bit."

Preston: "My family have access, Paige, Landon, Nathan, Raquel, they can all get in."

Rob: "And the regular staff as well right?"

Preston: "Well yeah for mum and dad's company but still. We have access to it at all times, they just come in for work and don't even really know us. They come in and then leave when they finish."

Rob: "So it had tonne one of the others? With how badly Raquel was begging to keep working here, I don't think it was her."

Preston: "She didn't even mention a bloody photo either, She would have brought it up as blackmail. And Isn't that supposed to happen?"

Rob: "Well if she wasn't so genuinely upset about you sacking her. I don't know, maybe she did it sort of as a revenge thing? I mean if it was then it backfired horribly, so many people are happy for you and didn't even know you had a girlfriend. Others are trying to tell whoever uploaded it, and a lot think it's Raquel that started it, A lot of people are telling her that you seem happier, That the kiss wasn't forced."

Preston: "It wasn't forced... I needed it."

Rob: "Oh baby Preston you know I love you. But I also know that right now, You are probably just upset about what has happened. You are just latching to me, And this has happened before when we found out about Keeley."

Preston: "Robby..."

Rob: "I know Preston, Look why don't you go and see Raquel and try and handle things and sort them out with her? Talk to her properly, apologize for being so angry at first and maybe try and just smooth things out. See if you can try and figure out why she was so angry and late?"

Preston: "I don't want to leave you."

Rob: "I'll kiss you and take a photo, Uploading it to twitter."

Preston: "You wouldn't dare. I'm not gay."

Rob: "Maybe, Just go and see her ok? Try and figure this out."

Preston: "Ok, Fine, But I want a kiss."

I watched as Rob turned to face me, a smile light in up his face and it made me feel... funny, I don't know how to explain it but he made me feel good inside. Like someone really happy. He leaned in and closed his eyes as I met him half way, feeling his lips on mine made me so happy. I just felt right, I know it's strange and weird because we are both guys but. I just feel good inside.

Preston: "Ok, I'll talk to you later."

I got up off him as he smiled at me, once I was off he repositioned himself and headed back to the screen, Swapping tabs to edit a video. He was such a great editor, he was always working and he was never late, I have been uploading three times a day because Rob was always able to smash out the videos I needed. I moved slowly out of the room and felt weird not being with Rob, Like it didn't feel right but I pushed it away. I headed back to his room and grabbed my phone, Finding messages from damn near everyone. I better quickly check the pack chat.

Lachlan: "No I think he just needed to realize Rob was his favorite all alon."

Mitch: "I think it's cute."

Jerome: "It's only cute because you and Travis are like that all the time with your snuggling and kissing and stuff."

Vik: "Woah Jerome want to tell us something?"

Mitch: "He's kidding we joke about it all the time."

Preston: "What's going on?"

Lachlan: "Oh hey Preston."

Jerome: "Talking about you and Rob."

Vik: "He's your editor, I don't mean to sound rude but work relationships can be a bit on the difficult side."

Mitch: "I had to fire Travis from any videos or editing so I could just be with him more, It separated us a lot."

Preston: "We aren't in a relationship, I'm not gay."

Jerome: "Sure you're not."

Preston: "We aren't."

Mitch: "That kiss wasn't one of fun or disgust. You clearly look to be enjoying that."

Lachlan: "I can't believe Landon would post that."

Vik: "Yeah though Landon did quote it as being his cousin finally making the right choice."

Preston: "Landon uploaded it?"

Lachlan: "Yeah, He said you looked really happy and cute with Rob, I thought you were having a date night then. No one else was invited."

Preston: "No one else was invited, What the fuck I need to talk to him."

Mitch: "Where did he get the image from?"

Preston: "I don't care but I'm going to find out."
