My hands shook as I pressed the alert, a series of photos now loading that showed Presley and me coming out of a door clearly marked as the ladies’ room. My skin appeared flushed, like something naughty had been going on in there, my hair a little disheveled.

Even my lipstick was smudged.

Whoever had Photoshopped these pictures, they had taken the lipstick from my mouth and smeared some on Presley’s lips to make it look like we’d been kissing.

My knees felt weak as I read the alert again, my stomach churning, every emotion plowing into my chest. “Oh my God.”

Dominick.

I moved the phone back to my ear just as he voiced, “I thought you said he only asked you out in the restroom?”

No.

No, no, nooo.

“Kendall, did you fuck him in there?”

“Hell no,” I growled. “You know me better than that.” My face dropped, my entire body shaking. “How did this happen? I … I didn’t even say yes to having dinner with him. Dominick, you have to believe me.”

A few seconds of silence passed.

“Can you get a ride to my house?”

I glanced up, and two cameras were pointed at me, a lighting guy standing only a few feet away. I was sure they’d all read the alert and they were trying to film my reaction.

My stare moved farther across the room, and that was when I saw Jenner standing in a group, where he was talking to another guy.

“I’m pretty sure I can,” I replied.

“Make sure no one follows you. Call me if you need me.”

I set my drink down and hurried past the cameras and lighting team, and when I reached Jenner, I wrapped my hands around his arm and whispered in his ear, “Will you take me to your brother’s house?”

I knew this was going to get me in trouble with production. I had to get it cleared before I left a set for any reason, but I didn’t care about that right now. I just needed to get out of here.

He looked down at my face, and I felt so many other eyes on me.

Everyone in this room had seen the alert.

They were all assuming the same thing.

So was the entire world. In the next few minutes, every media outlet would be posting the same photographs.

My family would see. My friends in Boston.

I felt sick.

“Please,” I begged. “I need to go, and I know you’ll get me there safely.”

He handed his drink to one of his friends and took off his jacket, giving it to me. “I’m parked out back, but put this on over your head. There’s going to be paparazzi everywhere outside, and they’re going to want to get more shots of you.”
