*Pippas P.O.V*

I sighed as me and Lin got into her car. She put on her seatbelt starting up the car driving out of the airport parking lot.

"That was way more difficult than I thought it would be." She said as she drove.

"Are you Okay?" Lin asked taking one of my hands.

"That flight just drained me so much, and that lady yelled at me." And I  heard him chuckling a bit. "An old lady has never yelled at me like that before."

"Well it was kind of funny, you have to admit."

"Yes it was hilarious while the old lady humiliated me in front of everyone on that plane."

"I'm sorry about that." He said slowly lifting my hand to his lips. "I feel like I should have done something."

"Like what yell at the old lady?" I asked with a small chuckle. "That might have made it worse." I told him and Lin laughed.

"No, I wasn't thinking about yelling at an old lady on a plane," he started. "But maybe getting her to stop yelling at my beautiful girlfriend."

"Well she did stop, eventually." I couldn't help but laugh a bit now.

"Oh, So now it's funny?" Lin asked smiling at Phillipa.

"Okay, so I guess you were right, it was a little funny." I said. "I'm definitely telling Jazzy and Renée about this."

"This conversation?" Lin asked confused, probably extremely sleep deprived, my poor bab.

"No, about the old lady yelling at me." I clarified.

"Oh, yeah, okay that makes way more sense." He said with a small chuckle. "I'm too tired to think."

"We'll be home soon, don't worry." I told him.

"Thank god." He said his eyes starting to close.

"And speaking of home, there's an apartment for rent in the building."

"Oh?" He questions keeping his eyes closed.

"I was thinking about renting it." I told him and his eyes opened immediately.

"What? Why? Do not like living with me anymore?" He asked a small frown appearing on his face.

"No, no that's not it at all." I told  him giving his hand a little squeeze. "And I'd probably be staying over most of the time it's just... the other day the girls asked where I was living now and I didn't think it'd be good to tell them I was living with you.."

"So what did you tell them?" He asked.

"I told them I moved into an apartment, in your building, and it's be weird now if I told them I moved in with you and they want to see my new place so.. kind of have to."

"Well if you have to you have to." He said his face showing no expression.

"So, what are you thinking?" I asked glancing at him.

"I'm thinking I don't want you to move out... but I get it, and I know you don't want people to know yet so.." he started, he then held he hand to his lip again pressing a soft kiss to the back of it. "I'm okay, you'll be okay, as long as I get to see your new place." He said with a smile.

"Yeah, but I'll spend most of my time with you anyways." I told him.

"Hey, How about we switch off, Huh? Some time at yours then some at mine?"

"Yeah that sounds wonderful, as long as I'm with you." I told him, he smiled closing his eyes again.

"Then you should talk to the landlord when we get back." He said to me.

"I will, I'll do it when you take a nap."

"Or you could nap with me, and go after." He suggested.

"Or I could go right away so I can just get it over with."

"But then I don't get your cuddles, your the best cuddler ever, I don't want to miss out on that."

"Well you'll get cuddle tonight, you know that, and when I'm done talking to the landlord we can order food cuddle up on the couch on watch movies." I suggested to him glancing over for a moment.

"Okay, Okay. I guess that'll have to do." He said with a small sigh, I chuckled as I took my hand from his so I could park.

*Time Skip*

It's was a week after we got back from vacation which we meant we had 1 more week before we opened on Broadway.

I managed to get the apartment within 4 days then it took about 3 days to get fully get fully moved in. And now that I was fully moved in, I was able to have most of the cast over to see my new place.

"How does it look?" I asked Lin coming out into the living and looked at Lin, who was sitting at the breakfast bar facing towards the living room.

"You or your apartment?" He asked, pulling his hair up into a ponytail.

"Both." I told him.

"One: You look absolutely beautiful, as always. Two: the apartment is great, and it makes sense considering you spent hours to get it to look so nice." He told me with a smile.

"Thank you Lin." I told him. "I needed that."

"Are you nervous sweetie?" He asked.

"Just a little bit," I told him fidgeting with the hem of my shirt.

"You have no reason to, no one will judge you for what your wearing or your apartment." He told her.

"I know, I know..." I said going to him pecking his lips. "I just feel... nervous.."

"About?" He asked running a hand through her hair.

"I don't know... what if they find out?" She asked nervously.

"About us?"

"Yeah, what if they all get upset with us and then-"

"They won't, they're are friends, plus they won't find out." He assured me in a calm voice.

"Yeah.... Okay, yeah, you're right." I said with a nod.

As everyone started to arrive I felt myself calm down more and more. That was until Lin started touching me. Not sexually, he would never do that with how nervous I was.

But every time he passed me while I was talking to, usually Jasmine or Renée, he would graze his fingers lightly on my skin. Though I don't think he knew he was doing it. And usually I wouldn't mind but with everyone here, it just made me tense up.

Then he came over to ask what we'd like to eat,

"Hey girls." He greeted with smile. "We're gonna order from Skoozies
(A/N: It's not a real place I just types something in and went with it), and I was wondering what do you guys want to eat?" He asked his hand lightly touching my arm, and I in turn tense.

"Uh, we'll think about for a couple minutes then get back to you." Jasmine told him.

"Yeah, now Phillipa show is your room." Renée said pulling me towards my room, Jasmine following quickly behind.

"What are you- what is going on?" I asked as jasmine closed the door tightly behind her.

"Are you Okay pips?" Renée asked softly, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Umm, yeah... I'm fine.."

"You don't have to lie, we saw what he was doing," Jasmine told me.

"What are you talking about girls?"

"Lin, the way he was being all touchy touchy, had he been doing this long?" Renée asked and I was about to answer.

"Has done anything else, because I swear to god if he has I'll beat his-" Jasmine starts but I cut her off.

"He hasn't done anything to me." I tell them, hoping they would calm down.

"Honey, we saw the way you tended up when he touched you," Renée frowned as she spoke and sighed. "Even the good guys end up being dicks."

"He's not- okay, so I have to tell you something." I said. "But neither of you can freak or tell anyone."

"Unless he did something I can't just-"

"He didn't... me and Lin... are dating." I told them.

"What!?" Jasmine squealed. "Awe you two are so cute, and your children will be gorgeous!"

"Shhhh, we, Well Okay I don't want anyone to know yet, it's early on... but... I don't want you thinking anything bad if Lin... just promise not to tell anyone."

"I promise." Renée said with a smile.

"Me too, I won't tell." Jasmine told me which I gave her a look, it not that I didn't trust her she just wasn't the best at keeping secrets. "I won't come on, I can keep a secret. I mean me and Anthony have been dating for 6 months and I haven't- Wait, shit."

"Are you serious?" I asked smiling.

"Yeah, just, shhhhhh." She told us and I nodded.

"And why don't you tell you boyfriend to be less touchy, so you don't get caught." Renée said walking towards the door.

"Will do." I said with a smile and we all went back to the living room.
