Team 10 House

Kade: Can someone tell me what the hell is going on!
Tony: Drop it
Kade: No I want to know what's going on!

Narrator: Jake was angry, his fist was red and swollen from hitting the wall. And after hearing Kade he snapped and charged towards him. Tony tried to break up but Jake was too strong.

Tony: CHANCE!!
Chance: what?
Tony: Get over here, Jakes going crazy!!
Jake: DID YOU TELL THAT ASSHOLE WHERE ERIKA IS STAYING?
Kade: Tell who!
Jake: CHRISTIAN! DID YOU TELL HIM?!
Kade: No I haven't spoke to him!
Jake: THEN HOW DID HE FIND HER, HE'S YOUR FRIEND AND YOU KNEW!
Kade: BRO I SWEAR ON MY LIFE I DIDN'T! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND, MY FAMILY. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!
Tony: CHANCE!!!!!!!

Narrator: Jake punched him and once again. Chance runs from the kitchen and helps break it up. Kade was bleeding and Jake was still angry his face was red his knuckles were bruised. He was so angry he suddenly blacked out in Chance's arms. They took him to his room and laid him down. They left him to fall asleep and Tony would check on him often.

Milan, Italy

Narrator: The show was over and Erika was tired. She went to go find her driver and Christian followed. They made it to the hotel and Erika was trying to get rid of Christian. He insisted on going with her to the hotel room door.

Erika: Okay I made it, goodnight Christian.
Christian: Erika..please
Erika: what?
Christian: Sleep with me tonight
Erika: No! I'm not interested we're just friends
Christian: Not forever eventually I'll make you fall for me
Erika: I'm tired! Good night

Narrator: She quickly gets in the room and closes the door in his face. He was being very creepy tonight and the nerve he had by saying that?! She got ready for bed and hoped he would just leave soon.

Christian went to his room. He was annoyed, why does she keep denying him. He was feeling sexually frustrated, all he wanted was Erika. He heard his phone ring and answered

Charlotte: Hi Mr. Lombardi.
Christian: I hope you're calling me because you have done what I asked
Charlotte: Yes sir
Christian: Well
Charlotte: I got a hold of all the major tabloids and they are running the pictures right now. And I was able to locate the woman from the photos
Christian: Excellent! I want the headline to say something about Erika and I spotted getting cozy. The next Hollywood couple.
And did you tell her my request?
Charlotte: Yes sir, she agreed to fly out. We have the jet ready she should be arriving in the morning. Where would you like her to stay?
Christian: I saw a private villa, I'd like a reservation for tomorrow. I will be staying there and she can stay with me
Charlotte: Yes sir, will do that right away. Do you need anything else from me?
Christian: I need you to find anything on Jake Paul. I want to know if there are any ex's or anything that seems strange
Charlotte: Yes sir understood
Christian: Thank you Charlotte

Narrator: The next day Erika was getting ready to walk in her first show since she's been back in modeling. She didn't even mention it to Christian because she was still weirded out by him since last night.
He on the other hand had just woken up. He got ready early and caught up on some emails.
The door rang, he smiled and went to go answer. As he opened the door he sees a blonde woman, very thin and with a squeaky voice say hello.

Christian: Welcome I am Christian Lombardi. You are Ms..?
Joy: Hello I'm Joy
Christian: Please come inside, and get settled

Narrator: They walked to the other end of the house to the room Joy would be staying in. She was amazed at how nice this place was.

Christian: This is your room, I'll be in the living room. Come talk to me once you're done getting settled

Narrator: she smiled and nodded. She couldn't believe how nice this was but she wondered why he brought her here and for what. Christian had hired a chef to stay with them so she was currently making brunch. Joy changed and went to meet him.

Joy: Hey
Christian: Hungry?
Joy: I can't say no, it smells wonderful!
Christian: Let's eat, I'd also like to talk.

Narrator: They went to the outside patio and sat down. The chef brought out their food and went back inside.

Christian: Let me just get right to the point. The reason I wanted to meet you is because I noticed you were pictured with Jake Paul numerous times. So I ask what is going on there?
Joy: I can't say.
Christian: why not?
Joy: Because I promised I wouldn't
Christian: To him? Does he even care about you because he's the reason my girlfriend dumped me
Joy: Yes he does!
Christian: So are you dating?
Joy: No we just hang out
Christian: Ex..and yes
Joy: I've heard of her. They used to date a while back, they were together for a few months and from what I was told she did something and he threw her out.
Christian: They dated before? And she never told me that. What else do you know
Joy: Not much. He hasn't spoken to me in a while, I text him and he doesn't respond
Christian: Is he even interested in you? Seems to me he's not, and now that he has Erika back in his life why would he need you
Joy: He said we would be together! I don't need to answer you I'm leaving
Christian: No you're not! I need you to sit down and listen to me
Joy: Ha and why is that?
Christian: I know what you're really After with Jake. You just want the fame and money. I get it, I can help you become a household name if you listen and do as I say.
Joy: No! I'm in love with him
Christian: Sweetheart you're lying to yourself, I won't judge you. I can help you be famous too
Joy: You're an asshole
Christian: Hmm..Joy is it? Or is it really Joanne. I love hearings stories, don't you? Little Joanne grew up poor in a small town, cute brunette girl with hopes and dreams to be famous. Stopped at nothing even did a few x rated movies and was an escort as well. So how did she get to LA? Should I continue this story Joanne?
Joy: No need, what do you want me to do..?
Christian: Were going to make great friends you and maybe a little more *winks*

Narrator: Christian and Joy agreed to work together. He wanted her to keep Jake away from Erika. This was only the beginning of his plan but the rest would have to wait until he gets back to LA.

Team 10 House

Narrator: A week had passed and Jake was distraught. He called and texted Erika everyday hoping for a response but unfortunately she was too busy to check her phone. The thoughts going through his mind. He need to talk to someone so he went to the office. Nick and Tony were there, he sat down and looked at them

Nick: You Alright Jake?
Jake: No she won't answer my calls or texts.
Nick: I haven't been able to get a hold of her either, I've only spoken to Joe.
Jake: I need to go see her, I need answers.
Tony: Jake normally I would say go for it, but the last thing she needs is more stress. Use this time to relax bro.
Jake: How can I fucking relax when he's there with her! He better not fucking lay a finger on her I swear
Tony: Jake! Calm down!
Nick: Jake, I need you to listen to me. Relax, we have a lot going on. She is over there to work and she's doing just that. Team 10 is going international with her there. Now I need you to work. Focus on the music okay?

Narrator: Nick definitely helped Jake calm down. He was right, he would wait until she gets back and everything would be okay. There was one thing Nick and Tony didn't tell Jake. And that was the headlines that said Erika and Christian were In a relationship followed by photos from the fashion show they attended. Jake was going to take a nap and went to his room.

Tony: Nick, what are we going to do as soon as he sees this all hell will break loose.
Nick: I know I've been trying to make calls but they said someone paid them for the release of these today.
Tony: Did they say who?
Nick: No that's what's irritating! I talked Joe and we agreed she will be back sooner
Tony: I really hope Erika is prepared for what she will walk into because knowing Jake it's not going to be a walk through the park...
