Triangle Love ( Palletshipping vs Comashipping! 🤍🤎 )

Chapter 13 - Paparazzi

~ 3rd Person POV ~
As the two kissed softly their lips parted to catch a breath and then this time, Ash went on his tippy toes to capture Gary's lips once more making the kiss a lot more passionate
being caught up on their kissing, the two forgot the many paparazzi's there was at the collection release that one coincidentally walked out to the beach and spotted them and what reporter wouldn't resist such a juicy scoop?

"I think we should stop, I wouldn't want to get caught" Ash said breathlessly as he pulled back and Gary pressed his forehead onto his
"I could care less" Gary chuckled as Ash grinned nuzzling Gary's nose with his own as Gary returned the gesture
"but I meant it Ash" Gary whispered giving Ash another kiss
"what do you mean?" Ash blinked as they pulled back
"when I said that I wasn't very happy a year ago until you came along, and about not being as straight as I thought I was" Gary chuckled as Ash giggled
"and that I love you" Gary added as Ash smiled
"I love you too" he whispered as Gary smiled
"let's go back inside" Gary smiled grabbing the boy's hand and leading him inside
once getting inside they let go of their hands and went to get some food as well as punch and enjoyed themselves

As the next day came along Ash had gotten home pretty late and thankfully rested nicely because he had the day off anyways from the school but he did had to go to the office
"morning mom" Ash smiled as he hugged his mom who was making pancakes
"morning sweetie" she smiled
"so since Paul and Reggie aren't up . . . " Delia started
"what happened at Sun Shores Beach??" she giggled sitting by Ash at the kitchen table as Ash giggled
"so" Ash giggled and in that moment Paul was going down the stairs but stopped to listen
"when I had finished modeling, Gary and I went to the Beach . . . " Ash blushed
"and we kissed" Ash giggled blushing a deep red as Ash's mom's expression brighten and Paul's infuriated
"I'm so happy for you!" Delia chimed and hugged Ash who had a big grin on his face hugging her back as Paul bit his lip, he needed to think of something to bring Ash's attention onto his

As Ash went to the office he smiled at the bodyguard at the front desk
"hi Barry" Ash smiled sweetly
"oh hey" the blonde man said startled and leaned on the desk hiding a newspaper behind him
"something wrong?" Ash blinked
"nah! You just go right in, nothing to see here" Barry grinned as Ash nodded slowly weirded out and went to the elevator

"so you think they're a thing??" Lana said as the four women looked at the newspaper paper
"I mean they kissed at the beach, I mean it's kinda obvious" Mallow said
"well I'm happy for them they're cute" Iris smiled
"yeah they are" Georgia smiled

"you should tell Ash's fortune when he comes in!" Mallow turned to Georgia
"I really should" she giggled

"hey ladies" Gary smiled as he walked past their work area
"hi!" the four said hiding the newspaper
"whatcha got there?" Gary grinned
"oh nothing!" Georgia grinned
"it better not be those cards Georgia, I've told you to not bring them here anymore" Gary grinned
"the cards?" Georgia said then looked at the other three women and the four busted out laughing
"oh please Gary, we've told Georgia those cards were so silly!" Mallow giggled
"yeah, me still bringing my cards?" Georgia giggled
"I grew out of it" she added with a giggle as Gary chuckled
"I'm glad to hear that, I don't tolerate witch craft in the workplace" he said and turned to walk off but then suddenly remembered something

"oh shit I forgot to get a newspaper" he said with a chuckle, turning back until Mallow jumped out of her seat
"no need!" Mallow said holding Gary back who raised an eyebrow
"why?" he blinked
"because!" she blurted out
"because Mallow will get it for you!" Lana added as Gary blinked
"yeah exactly! You never get a break, you really should take one you know" Mallow giggled nervously as Gary nodded slowly with a chuckle
"if you say so, thank you Mallow" he smiled as he left
