Cole's P. O. V.

This can't get any more awkward. Seriously though, I could probably cut the tension with a freaking knife. I'm sitting on the couch in the middle of Diana and Rochelle... Diana is fine but Rochelle is sitting way too close for comfort. Every once in a while I see Diana give her the quick annoyed death glare but Rochelle is too focused on me to notice.

"Cole," Diana's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "Can I talk to you in the kitchen?" She asks, giving me the 'try-and-say-no' look.

I nod and we both stand up. Before I could walk away, a hand wraps around my own. "Don't be too long," Rochelle coos.

I laugh awkwardly and take my hand away from hers and then follow Diana into the kitchen where I'll probably be questioned...

Diana stands, leaning against the counter with her arms crossed looking seriously pissed off. I sigh and run a hand through my hair. "Spit it out," I say.

She rolls her eyes. "That... Slut, is all over you and you're not doing anything to stop her!"

"What do you want me to do? I've barely said two words to the girl." I try and defend myself. The last thing I need is for her to actually think I've been enjoying Rochelle's company. Which I haven't. I step around the counter so I'm not standing in front of hair. "You know I only want to be with you, baby."

She sighs. "I can't be mad at you when call me that."

I smirk and put my hands on her waist, pulling her closer to me. "Good," I smirk and she wraps her arms around my neck and then our lips meet for a kiss that I never get sick of because it's with my Diana. The girl I love with everything I have in me.

The kiss was cut short as someone cleared their voice from behind. Diana pulled away and I reluctantly let her go and turned around. There was Rochelle standing in the doorway, leaning against the door frame.

"Excuse you," Diana spat at her. Surprisingly. I'm finding her jealousy a bit of a turn on.

Rochelle took a couple steps into the kitchen. "I was just wondering where the bathrooms are." She said with an obvious fake innocent look.

Before me or Diana could answer, the backdoor opens and walks in Lisa and Bill. "Ready for dinner?" Bill asks with a smile on his face.

"Starved," I mutter sarcastically. "We're going to go freshen up." I grab ahold of Diana's hand and pull her put the kitchen and upstairs. Once we're in her room, I shut the door behind me and face her. "Please don't be upset,"

Diana rolls her eyes. "Who does she think she is?!" She questions as she paces back and forth in the room.

Here we go.

She's going to rant.

Tip to all guys: if you can, get out of this situation if possible. If not possible, say nothing and just nod.

"Does she really think she can just come into my house and try to steal my boyfriend?! What a whore! I never expected Lisa to raise such a ... Whore! She's a whore! Ugh, and did you see her hair? That's obviously all extensions I mean, I've been trying to grow my hair out for years and-" I couldn't take the babbling anymore. So I grabbed her face and pulled her into a kiss.

This always works too.

She wrapped her arms around my neck, giving my hair a soft tug that turns me on completely. A smile tugs on my lips during the kiss and enjoyed the soft moan that left her lips. I took the opportunity to slip my tongue in her mouth and I gave her hips a quick squeeze.

"Hey everyone is- whoa you have one second to get off my sister." Jake demanded. Instantly, we pulled apart and Diana covered her face on my shoulder in embarrassment and let out a 'ugh' noise. "Distance needs to be between you two now."

She stepped away from me and gave a glare towards her brother. "Happy?"

Jake nodded and gave me a thumbs up. "Very," he smiled. "Everyone is here so let's go!"

I nodded and grabbed a hold of Diana's hand and led her back downstairs. I see faces I've never seen before, all Diana's family and friends.

"They'll love you," Diana says as she gives my hand a reassuring squeeze.

I smile at her and lean down to kiss her lips. "I know," I smirk and she just rolls her eyes and then pulls me along to speak with other family members.

For the next five hours we've been going from person to person having the same boring conversations. To say I'm ready to die is an understatement.

"I think you met everyone." Diana says with amusement in her eyes.

I groaned. "Finally,"

She smirked and trailed her hand up my chest. "Now we can spend some time together,"

I returned the smirk and pulled her closer to me by her waist and leaned down to place a kiss on her neck. "I like that idea,"

We both have the same idea as we walk back upstairs.

Once we get to the top of the staircase, I see Diana stop and look straight ahead. "What are you-?" Before I could finish my sentence I see what she's talking about.

Jake and Rochelle full on making out in the hallway.

I'm actually surprised by this.

"Are you serious?!" Diana squeals, immediately they pull apart with horrified looks on both their faces. "Of all people you choose her?!"

Jake rolls his eyes. "We're just messing around, Diana..."

She scoffs. "You can't mess around with her! She's Lisa's daughter! Remember? The women dad is dating?" She questions sarcastically.

"Diana, come on, let him deal with it himself." I try to reason with her but that doesn't help the situations at all.

She turns around and glares at me. "Oh so now you're siding with him?"

I sigh and shake my head. "Babe, let's just-"

"Just what? Make out some more? Is that all I'm good for?!" Well this escalated quickly.

"Diana, stop, you're amazing and of course that's not all your good for... You've for a got a nice ass too," I wink at her, causing her to blush slightly.

"Don't ever talk that way to my sister while I'm in the room." Jake demands in a threatening tone.

Diana rolls her eyes and walks back downstairs, leaving me in an extremely awkward situation of Rochelle against the wall by Jake... "Well uh... later." I awkwardly go back downstairs to find Diana.

Once I'm at the bottom of the stairs I bump into someone. "Sorry," I apologize and look up to see it's Loraine.

She smiles and waves it off. "No big deal... Have you seen Rochelle?"

I nod. "Yeah but you won't want to..." I trail off.

She raises an eyebrow. "Did you two..."

"No! No, we did nothing... But her and Jake are another story." I chuckle.

It takes her a second or two to realize what I'm getting at but when she does her face scrunches in disgust. "Yeah, Rochelle can be... forward with people." She laughs.

I nod. "I've noticed," I see Diana talking to some family members of hers. "I'll talk to you later,"

She nods. "Ok, bye!"

I walk around her to where Diana is at and put an arm around her waist. She's speaking to her great aunt Elaine and cousin Kayla. "Hi," I greet with a smile.

"Oh, Cole, how are you?" Elaine asks with a smile.

"Very good, and yourself?" I ask.

"I'd be better if I had a drink," She mumbled, causing everyone to laugh. "some of these conversations are nearly putting me to sleep... permanently." Diana's aunt Elaine is quite the character.

I chuckled. "I'll get you one, come on, Diana." I pull her along to the kitchen where no ones at. Once we get into the room and grab both of her hands. "You know you mean so much to me right?" I ask her.

"Actually, I don't." She says with a flat, unreadable look.

I smirk. "Well I'll have to show you then," I lean down to kiss her but she raises her hand so I end up kissing her palm.

"Not now, Aunt Elaine needs a drink." She turns around and walks away.

Why are girls so bipolar...

Diana's P. O. V.

I know I'm acting like a bitch towards Cole but that Rochelle girl just really pisses me off and then Cole was trying to defend her and my brother! Annoyed isn't even a good enough word to explain how I feel at the moment.

After everyone left I began to clean up the leftover plates and cups, putting away the food, etc. Dad and Lisa were cleaning outside along with Jake and Jack. Rochelle and Loraine decided to head back to their house... Thank God. Now Cole is trying to get me to talk to him.

"Diana, please tell me why you're pissed!" He begged for the tenth time.

I sigh. "Because I just am!" I exclaim.

"Are you on your period?"

I turn around to glare at him. "Don't ever ask a girl that... And no, I'm not." I turn back around to finish the dishes.

Suddenly I feel two arms wrap around my waist. Cole places his chin on my shoulder. "You looked hot today,"

I rolled my eyes. "Flattery will get you nowhere, Cole."

He kisses my neck. "Please don't be mad at me," He mumbled against my skin.

I sigh and turn in his arms. "I'm not,"

He smiles. "Good," then he leans into kiss me. I happily accept the kiss.

Unfortunately the kiss was cut short by yet another interruption.

"Get a room," Jack says as he shuts the back door behind him.

It's official.

There is absolutely no privacy in this house.
