Yeah sure of course I will. When is it?Paul

Honestly Paul it's fine! I'll see u at 5 :)Paul
Okay! I'll come pick u up at 5 then :)I go and tell Jesse.
"So I'm going to and adidas thing with Paul tonight" I say casually.
His eyes widen.
"What?" He asks.
"Just as friends obviously. No one else could make it so I agreed to go" I say to him so he doesn't get the wrong idea.
"But the press will be there and you know what they're like" he says pouting.
"He picks me up at 5 tonight" I say looking away avoiding eye contact.
"At 5?! That's in one hour" he says alarmed.
"Jess if you don't want me to go I won't" I say rubbing his shoulder gently with my hand.
He looks to the ground.
"Do whatever you want" he says looking to the floor.
"Jesse if it upsets you I won't go. I don't want to upset you. Let me know now so I can tell Paul I'm not going" I say
"I don't want to be one of those that stops you from doing things so go if you want." He says shrugging.
"So is that a yes I can go or?" I ask
"Yeah. On One condition!" He says smirking.
"Go on" I say
"You don't stop talking about me and how much you love me in the interviews. Just so the press definitely cannot get any wrong ideas" he says.
"You sound so spoilt" I joke.
Jesse isn't amused.
"Anything for you" I say kissing his cheek.
"I really have to get ready now" I say rushing upstairs.
Jesse nods.I decide on wearing this and some burgundy velvet high heels and a small burgundy clutch bag to match.
I slowly walk down the stairs, I'm not used to heels.
I see Jesse stood at the bottom of the stairs glaring up at me.
His mouth wide open.
I giggle as he watches me walk down the stairs.
When I get to the bottom he places his hands on my waist
"You look absolutely stunning" he says staring into my eyes.
His gorgeous brown eyes glaring right at me, I could get lost in them all day.
Paul knocks on the door.
Jesse tenses up.
Jesse pulls me close to him and whispers in my ear
"I can't wait to Rip your dress right off when you get back"
I feel tingles travel down my back. I close my eyes trying to contain myself.
"You should probably open the door" I say whispering.
Jesse smirks and opens the door.
Paul walks in and stares at me.
"Who knew you could scrub up that well" Paul says scratching the back of his neck.
I laugh and link my arm with his.
"Take care of her Paul and don't try anything as tempting as that dress might be" Jesse says standing by the door.
"Jesse!" I exclaim
"Sorry just setting down a few rules" he says holding his hands out smiling.
Paul laughs.
"Bro I wouldn't do that to you" Paul laughs
"I'll take care of her don't worry" he reassures Jesse.
"Keep your phones on" Jesse demands as we walk out of the door.
"I'll be watching on tv" he smirks
I kiss him goodbye and we leave.Jesse pov
I shut the door and sit on my couch. I google to see where I can watch the gala dinner tonight.
I find out where it's being shown and switch on my tv and put it on.I see lots of people arriving on the red carpet, I have yet to see Paul and Lils.
I spot her dress floating in the corner of the tv.
Soon she appears full screen on the tv.
She poses for photos with Paul.
"Move your hand away from her back Paul" I spit folding my arms.
I see them get called over for interviews.
The blonde interviewer looks so mischievous I don't like her already and she hasn't even asked a question yet.
"So are you and Paul together now?" She asks
I see Paul laugh and Lils leans over to her microphone.
"I love you Jesse! I know you're watching! I'll be back home soon!" She says into the camera blowing a kiss.
I smile to myself.
"So you're still with Jesse?" The interviewer asks.
I sigh at the interviewer. She wants drama.
"Yes of course I am. Are you trying to cause drama? I think you are" Lils says in a matter of fact tone.
"Look J is one of the broskis So Lils and I are just friends, he's totally fine with her being here and they are madly in love" Paul says
I clap to myself
"Big up bro!" I shout at the tv.
"Are we here for the Adidas gala dinner? Because it feels like I've just walked into some kind of gossip gala" Lils laughs at the interviewer.
I let out a big belly laugh.
The interviewer looks so awkward. Good.
"I think we will move to another interview" Paul's says pulling Lils away.
They get separated and end up being interviewed separately.
The one interviewing Lils is annoying.
"So how is things between you and Jesse? Lots of rumours going around" the interviewer asks.
Lils smiles.
I wonder what she will say now, I know that smile and that smile is mischievous.
"It's going terrible" Lils says pouting
My eyes widen.
"Oh and whys that?" The interviewer asks raising her eyebrows.
"I'm just so in love with him I don't know how to handle myself." She says to the interviewer smiling.
The interviewer looks so sad she didn't get some gossip.
A wide smile spreads across my face.
"His gorgeous brown eyes. Just... ughhhh. And the way his face scrunches up when he laughs. Ahhhhh." Lils says
I laugh to myself.
I pick up my phone to see twitter blowing up.
Everyone is tweeting me 'she's a keeper' and stuff like that.
I smile at my phone.
She disappears off the tv so I decide to read some articles and see what the press think now.
Delilah only has one person on her mind tonight
Delilah and Jesse so loved up!
Delilah silences all rumours about her and Jesse
Jesse has found the perfect girl in Delilah
Why Jesse and Delilah are couple goals!
Okay so from that I guess the press like us now.
finally they get the message and figure out this relationship is fine.She stumbles into the house laughing, Paul next to her. I can smell alcohol on Delilah but not on Paul.
"I had to drive so didn't drink but she's drunk" he says sort of presenting her to me with his hands on her shoulders.
I nod and laugh.
"Gotta get going bro but have a good night" Paul says walking to the door.
I do my handshake with him in the doorway.
"Thanks for looking after her" I say as he rushes out."Right you" I say placing my hands on her waist.
She wraps her arms around my neck.
I connect our lips, we start slow and soon pick up the pace.
I lift her upstairs and carry her into the bedroom.
"Let's get this dress off" I say smirking as I place her on the bed.
