HARDBALL - Jake Paul

.:42:. -Interview with Jerika-

One day before the 2nd Deji vs Jake Paul Conference

JAKES P.O.V

"Wake up..." I nudge Erika with my nose to her nose.

"Mmmmnoooo" She moans, turning her head away from mine.

"Erika its 8:30, we got to get up. People are going to be here around 9:15 to pick us up and I know it takes you hours to get ready. Am I wrong?" I chuckle as I slide out of bed.

"Yes. It only takes me 30 minutes." She says, as she sticks a leg out of the covers and out of the bed.

I head down the stairs and pet Apollo and Thor as I approach the closet.

"What should I wear today boys?" I say in a high pitched voice as I browse my selection of clothing. Apllo barks as he faces one of my designer jackets from Gucci.

"So Gucci today I see." I chuckle as I pull out the jacket. I decide to put on a gucci shirt with its logo (a snake) printed all arond the white shirt. I decide to put on my read boots as well and I head to the bathroom to wash my face and clean up.

"JAAAAAKE!" Erika moans as she launches her hands on to my shoulders and wrap them around me. I was brushing my teeth.

I started to choke on the toothpaste as I laugh of how helpless she sounded when she said my name.

"What?" I laugh, bending down to spit out my toothpaste and rinse my mouth.

"I am tirrrrreeddd and SOOOORE." She screams, walking to the closet.

"Why you sore?" I snicker.

"JAKE!" She screams.

"Whaaaat." I say, ready to head downstairs to the living room.

"THE GYM." She shouts. I bet she is in those moods.
I soon grab a quick breakfast of pancakes which Chad made about 10 minutes ago and inhale them. By the time Erika gets downstairs, its 9:00.
"Hey don't you two have an interview to attend?" Sydney (my assistant) asks.

"Yeah. I'm just going to grab a quick salad." Erika says. I mimic her in a high pitched voice:
"I'm just going to grab a quick salad because I'm Erika Costell  and I need to be SUPER healthy because if your not then what the FUCK are you doing" I laugh.

"Seriously?" She sarcastically asks with her mouth stuffed with salad.
"Seriously bitch." I smile.

30 MINUTES LATER
"Okay so are you guys ready to get on set? We have the videos and everything ready." Jackson Miller tells us. He is the host of a TV show called "behind the cameras" where he interviews celebrities and celebrity couples about what they do without fans and paparazzi in the way or near them. Erika and I were asked to be in the show so we accepted. Apparently the show was very popular. They made a tweet asking all Jerika, Costellers and/or Jake Paulers ask questions about ABSOLUTELY anything within the topics:
Love Life
Team 10
Our real daily lives
Misc.
Like... The fuck?
And they have 14 MILLION followers and I'm pretty sure some of our fans who didn't know about it eventually knew because me and Erika shouted it out on our insta pages. Shit tho... Love life? Damn... I have some young ass viewers who might watch this... Oof.

"Okay you two go out on cue, when I say 'let's welcome Erika....' go out and then 'here comes Jake!' Go out. While Erika goes out first, everything will be muted for Jake..."
"Wait what?" I ask concerned.
"Because they will ask her questions that I will ask you later. They are opinionated but don't worry, you'll know when to come on." Miller pats my back and heads on to stage with a roaring applause.

ERIKA P.O.V

5 minutes after Jackson Miller walks on stage, he calls my name and I walk on stage, I was ridiculously surprised at how big of an audience there was. The audience size was just about the size of Ellen's, audience area.
"Welcome Ms.Erika Costell! And welcome to Behind the Cameras!" He shouts, I just laugh as all eyes stare at me.
"Well, hows it going?" He asks, grinning with the biggest smile.
" Great actually! I am so glad I am here today! This already seems like fun. I can't wait to see what we got next!" I stumble on the last words as I start to laugh with a nervousness because I don't know what type of questions he would ask.
"Well that's great! Let's hop RIGHT into it shall we? We have 4 topics that we have the Costellers so they can ask juicy questions. The topics are Love Life," I imminently blush as I directly think of Jake, " Off the camera life, Miscellaneous and Team 10!" He happily says. The show already sounded like a kids show...
"Oh my" I blush, I throw my head to my hands and laugh. "Okay, whats first!" I quickly say.
"It's up to the audience!!! Okay, take out your voters! Which topic first? Tweeters replied with    a hashtag for whatever topic they chose. Now you chose which topic first?"
"Were there a lot of questions?" I ask delighted.
"OKAY THE VOTES ARE IN. The winning topic is.... Hahah how about you guess?" Miller laughs as he sits back in his seat. The set up was EXACTLY like the Ellen show now that I think about it.
"Love life..." I sigh laughing. The audience laugh as well. I even see a couple of the camera people laughing.
"Your right!" He laughs, throwing a couple cards in the air. "Let's go to tweet number one on #erikajerika."
"What's erikajerika?" I ask, looking at the screen behind us showing the first tweet.
"#erikajerika, is one out of the 7 hashtags. It just means Jerika with Erika explaining it or questions about Jerika that include you, Erika." He chuckles. "How about the audience reads the first tweet?" He asks, counting down for the audience to read it.
" Is Jake clingy? In the vlogs it looks like he is." The audience reads. Everyone's eyes then rest on me... Including the cameras (lens).
"So, is Jake the clingy boyfriend?" Jackson asks, leaning forward to give a comedic stare. The audience quietly laughs.
"Well, no. It just looks like it in some of his vlogs. Off camera it's like a normal couple. It also might sound that he is SUPER over protective because I say it but if a male were to talk to me he wouldn't pay any attention until some hugs or cheek kisses come on. He is just like that because he doesn't want the situation that happened to his girlfriend before me, to happen to me." I say, letting out a small smile.
"Aww so cute!" Miller smiles, getting his audience to laugh rather loud.
"Next tweet, 'Girl, Jake seems really buff. How do you deal with his smashing? If you know what I mean...' HAHAHAHAHHA" Miller starts cracking up with the audience. I start laughing of embarrassment.
"That was from LillyLovesLilly. Everyone go follow her specifically for that amazing tweet!" Miller laughs.
"I- Oh my gosh" I put my head into my hands and shake it around as I laugh.
"Man, I haven't even seen these yet. And thanks to the team who picked this out!" Miller starts pointing to people behind all the audience who were laughing and standing. Apparently they were some of the crew who help make the show and stuff.
"Thanks" I sarcastically blurt out, causing everyone to laugh.
"How about we call Jake!" Miller screams. The audience (mind how they are in the range of 15 to 30 year olds) starts screaming 'Jake' like they did for when I was being called up.
Jake comes running in smiling.
"Well well Jake. We have some trouble in our hands." Miller says, shaking his hand and having a seat alongside Jake.
"Oh my, what has she said?" He blushes, smiling at me.
"Just look at the large screen behind us." I say, covering my eyes and pointing behind me.
"Oh my god hahahh!" Jake starts laughing and squeezes the top of his nose. "This is what I'm called in for?" Jake was clearly embarrassed, just not nearly as much as me.
"So Erika. Now that we have made things more awkward, how are you going to answer this?" Miller chuckles along with the audience.
"I don't know... I can't." I say, with my hands still in my head. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE in the building started to laugh. Jake clenched his fist and put his mouth to it smiling. His face was turning so red, it caused me to laugh.

13 questions and 15 minutes later...
"Okay folks now for the last question for #jakejerika... We always save the best for last." Miller excitedly shouts.
"Oh shit... Whoops! Pardon my French!!" Jake puts a hand up in the air and covers his mouth with the other.

"Okay audience read this one out loud!" Miller laughs.

"How many times a week do you make love?" The audience and Jackson Miller read aloud. Jake moans as he listens and blushes super hard. The audience laughs as they direct their attention to Jake and I.

"Oh no an embrasses celeb I see!" Miller says, patting Jake's back.

"Uhm... Once or twice." Jake quickly blurts out laughing.

"Andddd now we have a little video sent in from an insider of you two!" Miller shouts, looking behind him. "

It was a video, from Chad?

"Hey Behind The Camera! Im Chad Tepper and I was asked to send in a couple videos of Jerika off camera. So I kinda have been sneaking around! The two are going to kill me after they see this!" Chad snickers (on the video). "Okay here are a few videos! I got of them!"

The first video played was of Chad recprding us from the living room while we were in the kitchen. You can easily hear Chad snicker behind the camera as Jake gives me a quick kiss on the lips. I then hug him around the waist and by this point of the video Jakes head was turned all the way away from the screen and he was blushing. A couple videos played that were just us walking or giving each other hugs thankfully. So it wasnt TOOOOOO awkward.
"Well that was the Jerika Romance section! On to the next ones! Please take out your voters and chose which topic next!" Miller shouts

1 hour later

"Well thank you two so much! I am glad you were able to come!" Miller happily says, shaking both Jake and I's hands and shows us to our car back home.

JAKES P.O.V
That was some weird ass shit I have to admit. There were some questions that were definitely up and personal but the show did tell us that they would be personal. Just not that personal.
"Oh gosh." Erika sighs as she lies down on my leg and curls up in the seat. Someone was driving us back to the T10 house.
I put my arm on the car door and lean against it while gazing out the window as we pass through the Hollywood streets.
"Rik." I quietly say, not looking at her.
She doesn't respond. I then move my leg a bit to still receive no response. I turn around to see her fast asleep on my leg. It was going to be a long drive as it was coming so why not get a good nap in?

Hey! Sorry about the absence! Won't do that again!! Damn we dropped a couple hundred spots because of me not updating! Sorryyyyyy don't be pissed at my 'totally pure' soul!
