Paul's POV

I get home from patrolling to find an empty house, I assume Jake took Nicole to Sam's house. I get to Emily's to only be greeted by everyone but Jake, Nicole, and Bella. I look around to double check but I don't see them anywhere.

"Where's Jake? He was supposed to be watching Nicole." I ask them

"Oh she went to Jake's house with Bella, Charlie was really upset with Bella, so Nicole went to calm him down a little." Emily tells me and I immediately go back outside to Jake's house. I knock on the door and Charlie answers.

"Oh hello son, you must be one of Jake's friends, he's in the shed with Bella." Charlie tells him.

"Thank you sir, I'm Paul Lahote. Partial owner of the auto shop here in La Push." I shake his hand and he grins at me.

"It's a nice shop you got there, I hope to see you around more."

"You too sir." I head to the shed to look for Nicole. "Hey guys where's Nicole?"

"Oh she had a photo-shoot and interview today with some magazine." Bella replies after jumping away from Jake as if they were kissing.

"She didn't tell me about it." I say before raising an eyebrow at them, "What are you two up to?"

"Nothing." Bella answers too quickly and Jake just grins at me.

"Jeez you'd think you too were having sex or something." I laugh and leave knowing I'm not wanted there. I decide to head over to the shop to check on everything, I haven't been there in a couple days and it'll help pass the time to work on my truck. After a few hours I get the truck running in even better shape than before and change the oil. Sam calls me at work asking to meet up at the beach or something.

I drive out to the beach and when I pull up I see Nicole posed on the beach in a string bikini working it for the cameras. She looks beautiful in every-way, I just stare at her perfection, one day she will be mine. I was too caught up in her beauty to notice the guy with her. He was picking her up and making her laugh right before he brought her down for a kiss.

I get out of the truck slamming the door causing Nicole and the guy to pull apart and look at me. The guy gives me a confused look squinting his eyes to make out who I am. Nicole gives me a look trying to get me to stop with a combination of oh shit. I just stare at her as I come rushing over, ignoring the photographer and everyone else around. I can feel myself shaking but I can't control myself. I barely notice Sam and Jared running up beside me.

"Who the hell is this Nicole?" I growl at her.

"Paul calm down, this is Liam." She puts her hand on my chest making the shaking stop.

"Hey man, it's nice to finally meet Nicole's cousin." This Liam guy holds out his hand.

I ignore it staring at Nicole confused as hell, what does he mean by cousin. "This my cousin Paul, I've been staying with and my other cousin Sam. This is their friend Jared, they all decided to visit I guess." Nicole laughs and so does the photographer and girl with him, Liam joins in.

"And Liam is?" I ask her.

"My boyfriend I told you about, remember?" She looks at me as if I'm stupid.

"Right, we've heard good things about you man." Sam plays along and shakes Liam's hand. "Well we better go, now Paul." He alpha orders me away. I glare once more at Liam and down at Nicole before turning away with Sam and Jared.

Nicole's POV

Turns out for my photo-shoot they wanted all the pictures in La Push on the beach. The pictures were great and once we had our cover photo, I changed bikinis and took photos with Liam. He did a great job of making me laugh and we totally sold the whole couple thing to the editor and photographer. Next thing I know Liam is sweeping me up in the air and bringing me down for a kiss. I hear a car door slam shut hard, I pull away to see Paul stomping towards us pissed. I'm trying to get him to stop with my eyes but he just keeps coming, Sam and Jared come running up beside him now too.

The conversation doesn't go over well at all, luckily Sam and Jared played along with my plan but Paul just acted like a jealous boyfriend the whole time. I was relieved when they left and I could fix things up.

"Sorry about that my cousin is like a brother to me so he's very protective." I shrug and laugh a little to ease the tension.

"Quite alright we're just gunna take a few more shots of you two then we'll finish up for the day." The editor tells me.

"They we can get some dinner babe." Liam says smiling at me for the camera, and I force myself to smile back. Half hour later and we're all wrapped up for the day. I give Liam the address to Paul's so he can pick me up later. I head back to Paul's to get changed, hoping my suitcase has arrived.

The second I pull up to the house I see Paul sitting on the steps waiting for me. Immediately I get angry over how he acted today, embarrassing me for what? I wait in the car a few seconds trying to calm down but it doesn't work. I get out and march up to him.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT LAHOTE?!" I scream at him not caring if the neighbors can hear.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" He snaps back.

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

"That loser on the beach kissing you! Who the hell is he and what the hell were you doing?" He yells at me.

"I wasn't doing anything wrong! I was at a photo-shoot for Christ sakes and you come storming in like some jealous boyfriend. Embarrassing me beyond belief, and who did you tell that I was staying here? Cause somehow the press knows, and I had to tell them you're my cousin. Why couldn't you just play along?!" I scream at him.

"I thought you were different Nicole but you're just another slut like the rest of the girls around here!" He yells at me, "Oh and your fucking suit case came in!" He throws it next to me going inside.

I stand there in shock tears in my eyes as I open my suitcase and find a dress. I slip it on over my pants before taking them off and shoving them in my suitcase. I can't stand to face Paul after he just treated me like a piece of shit, like how my father treated me. I call my agent and get Liam's number from him.

"Hello?" Liam answers.

"Hey it's me, Nicole. I talked to Josh and I guess I'm staying with you tonight." I try to laugh but nothing comes out. "Can you pick me up now?"

"Oh yeah, sure, everything all right?"

"No, lets just eat at the hotel." I suggest.

"Alright I'll come get you hold on."

"Okay bye." I hang up and wait at the end of the driveway, I can feel Paul's eyes burning into my back but I refuse to turn and look. Fifteen minutes later Liam comes and picks me up in his rental and we head to the hotel.

"So I'm just going to take a wild guess that the guy on the beach wasn't your cousin." Laim states.

"No he's not but he's not my boyfriend either. It's a long story, I was staying with him because I had too. Why he got so angry I'm not sure he's just an angry person from what I know." I wipe away the few tears that escape my eyes.

"Well he's nothing to cry over, Nicole." I guess I didn't hide it well. We finally pull up the valet parking. Liam hops out of the car, handing his keys to the valet and opening my door. Two seconds later the paparazzi is on us. He puts his arm around me and ushers me to the door as we try to act like this is a shock. When really I know our agents let it slip where we were staying. What's the point ina fake relationship if we aren't ever seen together or captured on camera?

"I'll never get used to that. Is it that bad in Australia?" I ask Liam.

"Pretty much but my agent keeps my private life a secret when I'm home. And not supposedly dating the hottest singer." He chuckles with me as we get inside. Some teenage girls spot us and we sign quick autographs before going to a private table for dinner.

"Back to business, where should we say we met? And when did we start dating?" I ask him.

"How about we met backstage at an award show, then got to know one another at an after party. Where we exchanged numbers and started slowly dating and made it official four months ago?"

"Sounds good to me, follows what I said in my interview, I said we're making it public now so we can support one another while I have my new album and your new movie." I shrug.

"Sounds perfect, I say we deserve a drink. Do you like wine?" He asks.

Two hours later and three glasses of wine later, I find myself in Liam's bed. He's on top, I'm on the covers and we're both naked. Not one of my greatest choices but I wasn't going to stop him now. The buzz only encouraged me, telling me I wanted more of him. Feeling his body pressing onto mine and his hands sliding down the curves of my body, making me squirm in excitement. He moves away making me groan at the lost of contact, when I realize he's grabbing a condom. Then I fell into dark place but it was nice there.

*Next day*

I wake up in a strange place, looking around I realize it's a hotel. My head is pounding too hard for me to think why I'm here. I lay back down spreading out only to bump into something or someone. I roll over to see what it is. Liam looks down at me.

"Oh good you're awake, I was just going to make some coffee. Would you like some?" He whispers.

I nod my head before signing into the pillows, what have I done now? I think this makes me a slut. I look under the cover, defiantly a slut since I'm naked. Great and so is he, we defiantly did the deed I just can't remember. Jesus I just met him yesterday, we're in a fake relationship to make matters worse. Shit he's coming back, at least he has coffee.

"Here you go." He kisses me on the head before crawling back into bed next to me. He goes to cuddle with me as I pull away.

"Sorry, just need to go the bathroom." I smile shyly, "No peeking." I grab an extra sheet and warp it around myself before going into the bathroom. I freshen up by slashing my face over and over. Luckily they have robes I put one on and bring the other to Liam when I'm done. "These are so soft."

He gives me an odd look before putting it on. He pats the spot next to him for me to join him. I crawl in next to him and he brings me in closer to cuddle, he's a real big cuddlier I guess, nothing wrong with that.

"Did you enjoy yourself last night?" He asks me.

"Ummm, yeah I wish I could remember more of it but I'm afraid I drank too much." I shrug.

"Maybe next time I won't have to get you drunk." He laughs rubbing my arms, seriously he did it on purpose.
