Jess' POV

"We made her so isolated. She knows absolutely nothing and probably thinks we constantly make plans without her. I mean how can we keep on going like this and constantly hiding our relationship because your not out! You're scared to be seen with me when cameras are around. You're also terrified to touch me when we're around other people. I mean fuck it's all too much. Is this all really worth it?!" I shout.

"Fuck you, how can you say it's not worth it!" Alexa shouts back.

No god why do things keep coming out wrong!

"No I mean I didn't mean it like that. It's just impossible keeping everything from everyone we know."

"That doesn't mean we need to stop trying!" Alexa says her voice calmer than the second before.

"I'm just ready to give up!" I scream tears beginning to roll down my cheek.

"What are you just gonna, give everything that we've made and everything we mean to each other up." Alexa says throwing her hands around in my direction.

"I'm sorry, I think we both need some time to calm down. I don't feel like talking about this anymore." I decide.

I head for the door and swing it open. As I close it I hear Alexa shout "You can't just walk out like this!". Right now there's nothing I need more than a drink. Just need to find the bar first.

A man in a uniform walks past me.

"Sorry could you direct me to the bar?" I ask.

"No need to apologise, I don't mind helping out a beautiful women like yourself. It's down the hall and to your right."

At second glance I realise the man is actually quite attractive. Beautiful forest green eyes framed by the most perfect brown hair. His perfect skin is incredibly soft and tanned. This man isn't just attractive he's the most handsome man I've ever seen.

"Thank you!" I reply with a cheeky wink and a smirk.

"Wait do you mind if I get a picture with you it's just I think my boyfriend would die if he knew I'd met you!" He asks almost squealing with excitement.

"Of course!" I reply with a massive grin going from ear to ear.

After taking the picture, I ask "Sorry were was the bar again?"

"I'll show you I'm just getting off shift now!"

"Oh thank god I was absolutely terrified of getting lost in this place!"

...

"Would you like to sit with me?" I ask.

"Are you serious?" He squeals.

"Yes, of course I am! I'm in a mood for some company. I could be going without it for the next few days!"

"I'm not one for small talk so I'll just come right out and say that I need your advice on something. Well when you said boyfriend did you mean boyfriend as in boyfriend?" I question.

"Yes I did, go on."

"Well I'm in a bit of a dilemma. There's this girl that I'm kinda head over heels in love with but isn't out yet. She's completely terrified of touching me or being seen with me in case people start to guess!" I go on.

"Wait is this secret girl Alexa Davies?" He asks mischievously.

I'm absolutely stunned. I can barely think straight. I can't even contain the shocked look on my face. How did he guess just like that?

"So I'll take it that it is her!" He says making sure to keep his voice down and this conversation secret.

"W-w-wait how did you guess?" I ask stunned.

"Oh it's easy to guess! I mean when you're together you both seem so happy and excited. In all your interviews you're constantly touching or looking at each other like couples would and I mean don't even get me started on your Instagram posts. God that 'I am Tanya because she is Rosie' post was the gayest thing I think I've ever seen and that's saying something. Me and my boyfriend have been betting on when you'd both come out as a couple!" He says looking straight at me like it was the most obvious thing.

"Maybe Alexa was right. We were a bit to obvious!" I say looking at my martini then taking another sip.

"Sorry I've only just met you and really I should be trying to impress you by now I've put you in an even worse mood." He says reaching out giving me a weirdly reassuring look.

"No you have impressed me and you've given me company to my now lonely life."

"Few, thought I was scaring you off. I mean my boyfriends I'll not even believe this. Neither can I. I'm sat drinking martini's with Jessica Keenan Wynn talking about her girlfriend ALEXA DAVIES!" He whispers by over exaggerating at the same time.

"About that do you mind not telling anyone? You can tell you're boyfriend but please no one else. I mean we haven't even told Lily."

"Of course I won't. Now back to the advice I'm supposed to be giving you."

"Well I'm not really sure how to handle her coming out. I mean everyone already knows that I'm gay but I'm just scared about how people's reactions will impact her and us as a couple."

"When my boyfriend was coming out I just made sure that I gave him some space by was there if her ever needed me and I think that's all you can really do to support them."

After getting more advice off this amazing man we swap numbers and both run off to be with our partners.

...

"Alexa?" I shout.

I look up and she's lying on the bed reading her book obviously choosing to ignore me.

I crawl onto the bed to lie next to her.

"Look I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you like I did. I know how hard it is trying to pretend you're something you're not. I also know how hard it is having to tell people something that could change their view on you. I just need you to know that whatever I say, I'll never leave you and I will never stop loving you!" I say practically begging for her forgiveness.

She leans down and pulls me in to a kiss.

"I love you!" She replies.

"While you were gone I was thinking maybe it's time to tell everyone. I think I'm ready for everyone to know how much I love you." She whispers nonchalantly.
