We arrived outside the Bale household. I didn't ask Christian to help me out of the car, but I noticed he was somewhat bothered by this.

"Hungry?" he asked.

I shook my head.

"Nope,"I lied - the truth is I was starving. Christian shrugged and unlocked the door. Walking in, I noticed my bags were already packed and I looked at him questioningly.

"Allison and Megan," he simply stated.

I unzipped one of the striped decorated suitcases, took some pieces of clothing and my make-up bag and almost reached the downstairs bathroom, when Christian called my name. I turned around and looked at him from behind the wall.

"Carmen," he sighed, "I'm thinking about getting a divorce," he said after a moment of silence.

Bullshit. There's no way he's gonna get a divorce, his wife won't let him either.

"Is that supposed to make this okay?"I asked, turning around and walking back into the bathroom, knowing he would follow, which he did.

"It is actually," he nodded.

"Christian," I set my clothes on the bathroom counter, "I'm still under age, so what difference would this make?"

"I won't be cheating."

"Fine, but still illegal,"I shut the door closed, but he came back in.

"Alright I'm sorry for over reacting. Don't stay mad at me," he pleaded. I laughed.

"See,this is why you're not gonna file for divorce. You're totally whipped! Don't let the woman be the man Christian! Put your foot down! Lay down the law!"I shouted, shaking him by the shoulders.

Christian chuckled as he grabbed a hold of my hands. He placed a peck on my cheek and smiled.

"Am I really whipped?"

"Sure you are, haven't you noticed that everyone thinks so?" I said, smiling back."

"Everyone?"He pouted,and placed another kiss on my cheek.

"Everyone."

The plane ride was dead silent with no one talking or looking at each other,and Christian sleeping in the back row of seats - snoring as loud as a car engine.

"Carmen which suitcase is yours?"Celine asked -something about her frightened me. I pointed to my small group of luggage.

"Oh." She mumbled,I knew she didn't care where my luggage was.She wanted to know something.

"What have you been doing these past few weeks?"She asked,I shrugged and flipped a page of my magazine.

"So,"Sighing,Celine snatched the tabloid from my hand,"I know about you and Christian!"She shouted. I heard Christian jerk up,and everyone stopped abruptly.

"What are you talking about?"I questioned.

"I said," She took a deep breath,then smiled at the end of her sentence,"I know about you,and Christian."
