"Sources can be so unreliable at times," Jaylen said smoothly.
"And if there was anything like that going on, I would be the second to know," Anika added. "Besides, we want the chance to get to know each other better and spend as much time as we can together."
"Which is only fair. You have been in the public eye for so long that it is difficult to even have a relationship without the public wanting to know every minute of the day what is going on with you."
"We intend to keep our private lives as private as we can," Jaylen told her quietly.
"And we wish you all the best, and we are rooting for you."

"You look great on camera."
"It's the makeup. They piled it on." She reached into the bucket to scoop up some more popcorn. It was a cold and windy winter day as December wove its way to the end of the year. It was also a Saturday, and they had decided to stay home for the weekend and have a lazy day.
"You are a natural." Jaylen had one arm around her as she lay there sprawled on his chest as they switched back to watch the movie. "And your tastes in movies suck."
"Take that back."
"Darling, I adore you, but this is a black and white."
"It's a classic," she protested. "I am a big John Wayne fan and all of his movies are terrific."
"I prefer blood and gore."
"You prefer those modern-day movies where people don't know how to act. It's just fighting and mayhem, and anyone can do that. Even you."
"Oh, you are going there, are you?" Moving the bucket of popcorn, he started tickling her.
"Jaylen, what are you doing?"
"What does it look like?" He reached under her armpits. He had discovered that weak spot one night he was making love to her.
"Stop it!"
"Take back what you just said."
"I won't. I am going to pee myself," she gasped as she tried to wriggle out of his arms. He held her fast with one hand and continued to tickle her.
"Okay fine. I'll take it back."
"And I have better taste in movies."
"That's pushing it- Okay fine!" She laughed. "You have better taste in movies."
"And you love me to distraction."
"I love you to distraction," she whispered.
"Good enough. Did you pee yourself?" He shifted so that she was on top of him.
"A little bit."
"Let me see."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
