Paparazzi

Chapter thirty-six: "Paparazzi"

While chatting with Cloud I felt like something or someone was watching us, the feeling sent chills to my spine "Cloud"

"Hm?"

I twisted my head left and right observing the neighboring buildings that were almost the same height as the penthouse "Do you get the feeling like we're being watched?" I asked as I squint my eyes to get a better view of the neighboring buildings

It was too dark and the light from the streets below couldn't light up the top of the buildings

Cloud didn't seem fazed about the feeling "Must be those nosy paparazzi"
I never knew that the paparazzi could be this diligent in their job

I rubbed both sides of my arms with my hands "Aren't they invading too much privacy to go to that extent just to get something to share with the media?"

"Who cares? People would want a juicy story and even if you don't do anything the desperate paparazzi would make up a story"

"Must be hard"

He chuckled "You'll get used to it eventually" Cloud encircled one arm around me and pulled me closer to him
Today was hectic but tomorrow would be peaceful for sure

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turns out I was wrong about today being peaceful
"Are those the paparazzi waiting outside the front of the building?" I pointed out to the window where the view of the building grounds was in full view

No words could explain the number of people with cameras waiting at the front entrance

Liam and the twins looked out of the window, all three of them nodded "Wonder what they're here for?" Mason asked Oliver with Liam shrugging at them

I glanced down once more at the enormous crowd, my phone rang and I answered it "Do you see what I'm seeing?" Daisy asked me

"No?"

"Bitch there's paparazzi's scattered all over the penthouse building" Alice explained to me in an over the top voice

My hand reached for the curtain and I shut all of them closed with the help of the twins "Any reason why they are here?"

There were loud keyboard typing sounds in the background before it stopped "Turns out that someone took a photo of you and Cloud out on the terrace being all lovey-dovey"
Is that all? No sane person would just be like "Ok I think this is great for the article" while looking down at our pictures

We were only acting like any normal couple would do

"It says at the title that this is a rare photo of Cloud being genuinely sweet to a girl," Cheryl said
Why the fuck would they make such a fuss about that?!

I scrunched up my nose and put on a confused face
What the hell is wrong with those people?

After talking to the girls I ended the call and turned my body around then saw Cloud, I raised both brows at him like I expected him waiting for me behind my back "Care to explain?"

Cloud shoved both hands in his pockets "You know how I hate girls who throw themselves shamelessly at me, it's harassment you know and I'm only acting cold to them since it's a reasonable thing to do"
His explanation is understandable, if you have his face the harassment would never stop unless you do something about it

Which must be the case why the public is shocked he could actually act sweet with me

Cloud held my hand and the stressful feeling within me washed away instantly, I gazed at him as the sun rays hit him making his eyes glow in a way that would always be stuck in my head
