*3 months later*

It's been 3 months since I've see any of the guys. Well that's kind of a lie. Christian and I video chat all the time and we have the weirdest conversations. We haven't told his fans yet because we want to be together when we tell them. It's been hard because of him being on tour seeing all those girls who are prettier than me but he always reassures me that I'm his only one. Even the guys tell me that im the only one and that he won't stop talking about me. He knows I'm going to Florida at the end of the month and he's scared about me going.

"what if you get drunk and hook up with someone?" He says with a sad voice. I just give him a smile

"I've been loyal to you over these last couple of months. You really think I'm going to mess all of that up now when we're doing so good?" I say giving him a reassuring smile.

"I know babe. It's just.. I don't know it sucks that we can't see one another in person as often as we like"

"I know Kras trust me. I wish I could see you in person all the time but you need time to spend with your family and to take a break from tour."

"you want to know what I like about you Alyssa?"

"what?"

"you're so supportive of me. You get that we can't see one another all the time. I never got that from anyone else. It's different but a good different." He says with a smile. All I do is just smile so bright

"well I understand that I can't see you as often as I like. And I know that were going to see one another again. I get that you live on the other side of the world"

"you're the best girlfriend I've ever had."

"and you're the best boyfriend I've ever had."

"I should probably go to sleep." He says. I look at the clock and realize its 3am for him

"yea you should." I say giving him a smile

"have a great day baby girl. Have fun at work and ill text you as soon as I wake up."

"okay babe"

"bye."

"bye" I say and we hang up the phone. It always hurt to end the calls with him. The only people who knew about me dating Christian was the guys and then Meleny and dee. I didn't want to tell anyone else because I knew that it would get out. I start scrolling through Instagram and I see a page called CatlanticTea. It's a confession page and I start reading the picture

"So I don't know if this is true or not but I think Christian has a girlfriend. Because for about 3 months now he won't kiss fans on the cheek like he use to or anything like that. I don't know it's just a little weird don't you think?" It said. I went to the comments and they most of them agreed. No one can know that Christian and I are together. Im so scared of what people will say to me but most importantly him. Some of the comments were saying that we should respect his privacy and that made me smile. I continued my day just thinking about what would happen if people found out about christain and I.

*when I got to work*

I say hey to everyone as I walk in. I set my stuff into my locker and get ready

"hey Alyssa can I talk to you for a minute?" My manager Derek said. Everyone always thinks that he's flirting with me because we always play argue all the time but honestly it's just the way I am

"yea what's up?" I ask him

"so um.. I was wondering if you maybe wanted to go to dinner sometime?" He says stepping closer to me

"listen Derek you're a really cool dude but honestly I have a boyfriend." I tell him tying my apron

"well you never told anyone you had a boyfriend." He said giving me a little bit of an attitude

"well I'm sorry that my personal life is so important to everyone here." I say back with the same attitude he gave me

"whatever." He said walking out. What the fuck was that about? I walk out of the room to go clock in when my friend/coworker Mandy comes up to me

"did you really ask Derek to dinner? He's our manager." She said to me and I just looked at her confused

"no? He asked me to dinner and I told him no." I say back

"well he's going around telling people that you asked him to dinner and he rejected you." She says

"are you fucking kidding me?" I say kind of loud and she nods her head. I was so heated I walked back to the kitchen and found Derek

"dude what the fuck is your problem?" I say to him while my general manager is standing right next to him

"what are you talking about Alyssa?" My general manager asks and Derek gives me a scared look

"before I clocked into work Derek asked me to dinner and I told him no and now he's going around telling everyone that I asked HIM to dinner and he told me no" I tell him. He looks at Derek with a blank but mad stare

"Derek is that true?" He asks him and he nods his head yes

"Derek my office now." My general manager says and they walk into his office. For some reason a felt a little bad but more relieved. He ended up sending Derek home and I was able to finish my shift without hearing anything about him asking me to dinner. After I got home I texted Christian everything that happened. By this time it was 9pm so it should be 1pm where he is. I immediately got a text back from him.

"I'm happy that they sent him home and you were able to get through your shift" he responded

"so you're not mad?" I say back

"of course not. You could've just lied to me and told me work was good but you told me honestly what happened and honestly I couldn't of been happier." I just smiled at his response

"well of course I would tell you. I would never lie to you."

"and I would do the same for you." Christian and I ended up talking until I passed out. But little did I know he was something planned for me and Meleny that would make our hearts explode.
