girlfriend?"
     
       "Has Cole asked you to marry him?"
     
       How do they know Cole and Mason's names? I hear a gasp behind us and I turn to see Ria looking wide eyed and Paige with her hand over her mouth. "Cole and Mason?"
     
       The crowd cheer and I hear something about a black inferno, I have no clue. My head starts to hurt, I am so confused. Ria finally speaks. "Black Inferno? Why didn't you tell us?"
     
       I look at Roxie who is at my side and we both frown at each other. "What are you talking about?"
     
       I want to hear the answer to Roxie's question but I can't take anymore. The loud crowd and my confused thoughts are giving me a headache. I walk back through the glass doors and back towards the elevator. I still have no clue what's going on and I'm more confused now than I was five minutes ago. The girls follow me and as I watch them open the glass doors again I hear more shouting.
     
       "Where are they?"
     
       "I want to see Black Inferno!"
     
       "Cole!"
     
       As soon as they step in I hit our floor number; when the doors close I'm so grateful for the silence.
     
       "Did you both really not know?"
     
       I shake my head at Ria. "About what?"
     
       Roxie groans in frustration. "What the fuck is going on?"
     
       As soon as the doors open I storm out and push open our front door in frustration. I have a horrible feeling Paige and Ria are going to tell me something horrible so I need a drink. I grab my empty glass from the living room and go into the kitchen to refill it.
     
       We all stand in the kitchen, Roxie and I facing Paige and Ria. I take a much needed gulp from my glass and ask them about what they know. They seem to now know what all of this fucking craziness is about. Paige starts to answer and I'm scared at what she's going to say by the worried expression. "If I'm right, well then, erm..."
     
       "Just tell us!" I shout, I need to know now! Ria grabs her phone from her bag and taps away before holding it out to me to see. What I see on her phone is not what I expected at all. On Ria's phone is a professional looking photo of Cole and Mason and there are two other men with them. Cole is front and center looking his usual sexy self with Mason just behind his right shoulder. The other two men are just as good looking but they have nothing on Cole. Under the photo in large black bold writing it says ‘Black Inferno’ and underneath it explains exactly who Black Inferno are and how ridiculously successful they are. I'm speechless and I look up to Roxie to see she's staring wide eyed with her mouth hanging open in shock at the photo.
     
       "Is this the Cole and Mason you have been seeing?" We both silently nod and they exchange a glance. "Black Inferno was the rock band that we went to see a couple of months ago. They're a huge a rock band, known for being lady loving naughty boys."
     
       She giggles a little but I close my eyes and rub my hand over my forehead hard. "Are you telling me the men we have been seeing are really rock stars, who have lied to us for over two months?" They both nod and Roxie curses, I didn't mean to shout at them but I'm so fucking angry right now. I still can't wrap my head around it but it would explain why there is a screaming mob of girls outside and our photos are online. Someone obviously spotted them and then followed us, finding out where we live and probably think they're still up here. I quickly finish my glass of wine and refill it; Roxie pushes her glass forward so I fill hers too. Suddenly it dawns on me, that I have been having a sort-of relationship with a rock star and I didn't even know, I can't believe he fucking lied to me! Has the whole time we have spent together been a lie; am I nothing but a stupid game to him? What kind of man does that? I can't believe I have fallen in love with a man who hasn't spoken a word of truth to me since we met. Does he even like me? Ria said they are known for loving the
