Shawn's POV

I can't stop thinking about Lacey... I really can't. When I kiss Camila I imagine it being Lacey in my grasp. I love Camila but Lacey is my soulmate. Remember when I said I want to marry her? I wasn't joking! Lacey is the only one I want. (All the fellow Shawmila shippers be ready to be mad at me). This PR thing is horrendous! We've gotten so good at it people actually think were dating even though we kind of are. It's unofficial but official if that makes any sense?

Camila one hundred percent thinks we're full on doing this. Yeah I had sex with her but I was trying to get over Lacey. Brian told me how she reacted when I hung up that call... he even recorded it. I cried almost all night thinking about how much pain I've caused her. I want to go back but I can't. Not until tour ends.

Lacey's POV

It's been about six days since Cole and I did something we shouldn't... we've been having sex almost everyday after that. It's a friends with benefits thing. I'm not with Shawn and Cole isn't with Lili. We don't want relationships but we want something to distract us. We made a pact no one gets feelings.

But I think I am. I know I'm probably just catching feelings because of the sex but I mean... it's Cole Sprouse! He's one of my bestest friends in the whole entire world since I don't even know when! The only person who knows is Adeline even though I said no one knows. But who is she going tell?

Cole's POV

I think I'm catching feelings for Lacey Smith. I think I've always had them. We've been friends since god knows how long because our families knew each other. She's eighteen and I'm twenty-seven... that's a nine year difference... but I'm falling more I love with her than the crush I've had on her since she was in high school.

I don't want to tell her because I'm afraid the minute I do it Shawn will magically appear and win her over... or even Brian? They seem to be talking A LOT recently... like three or more hours a day recently.

Lacey's POV
4:02pm

My brothers are coming over soon to spend the night again. Apparently my apartment is "better than theirs" in the words of Mason. So I invited Adeline over... she has no idea they're coming. I have speculations that Adeline and Mason are hooking up.

That's when I hear a knock on the door and screaming. I open the door to three rowdy boys with duffel bags and blankets. Noah even brought a case of beer... this will be interesting? "If you guys think you're drinking in this apartment you're wrong!" I yell at Noah before closing the door. "Seriously! You're so not fun!" He whines as I grab the beer from him and go put it in the pantry. "You'll live!" I ruffle Liam's hair.

"How's Sarah, we should invite her over?" I look at Liam and he shakes his head. "She's got this new boyfriend and he hates all of us so no that's not a good idea." Liam slings his arm around me and pulls me into the couch. "Is Adeline going to be here?" Mason asks me shyly. "Yes, lover boy... she'll be here right about... now!" I scream as she knocks on the door. "Everyone hide!" I whisper and the boys all go into the bathroom.

"Hey bestie!" We hug and I let her in. She sees all the duffel bags and blankets and gives me a questioning look. "They're Cole's." I whisper and she nods. That's when all the boys come out laughing like idiots and group hug us. Mason hugs Adeline a little longer which makes her blush. I look at Liam and he rolls his eyes. Noah snickers a little before claiming a bedroom.

"Actually Noah! I think it's Masons turn!" I wink at him and Adeline and the blush. I hear a groan and then Noah comes stomping back out to the other guest bedroom. I turned the office into another bedroom because I really don't need one. "I'll sleep with him... again." Liam gives me a dirty look before following Noah to the room with his duffel bag. "Nice way to word it bro!" I scream at him, making us laugh.
