You’ve been a professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars for a few seasons now, with the upcoming season being your fifth. Throughout that time, you’ve had multiple different partners — actors, athletes, and other celebrities attempting to maintain their two seconds of fame. This year, you were paired up with Jackson Agron.

You didn’t know much about Jackson other than the fact he was an influencer, but during your first rehearsal, the two of you hit it off. You became friends almost instantly, but as you spent more and more time together, that friendship blossomed into a relationship — a secret one, of course. If word got out that a pro was dating their celebrity partner, the tabloids would have a field day.

You and Jackson had just finished rehearsing your next dance, and you were gathering your things so you could head out. He walks up behind you and grabs your bag, handing it to you with a smile. “So… am I allowed to come to your place tonight or are we still worried about the paparazzi?” He asks playfully, tilting his head to the side.
