” I love you, but if you don’t answer that fucking door” Nick growled next to me. He laid next to me in my bed. He grabbed a pillow and shoved it over his head.
I slowly sat up. I only just caught onto what he was talking about. I grabbed a jumper from the desk and raced down to get the door.
I opened the door and I honestly didn’t know what or who I expected.
Nick was halfway down the stairs, pulling on a T-shirt when he mumbled ” oh shit”
James shoved me out of the way and stormed in.
” I really don’t get enough credit for fixing you two up, do i. Let’s be honest you wouldn’t have each other if it wasn’t for me” I rolled my eyes as he continued to talk absolute nonsense.
” Why am I only hearing about what happened now, aren’t we friends?” he asks.
This is way too early for me to deal with the idiot that is James. It was actually refreshing for him not to be here whilst he does this film in America.
” You didn’t tell him? Nick asks me. I stare at him dumbfounded. Now he is putting the blame all on me.
I kicked his leg ” fill him in whilst I change, I have meetings today” I walked around them and headed back to my room to get ready.
For Nick’s stupid question he can deal with James and his dramatics.
” Will you be there tonight?” Nick says as he leans against the door. I had just finished getting ready and was just choosing my earrings for the day.
“Whats tonight again?” i asked even though i knew exactly what tonight was. I watched Nick’s face turn from confusion since he only told me last night, just before he spread my legs on the edge of the bed.
To annoyance since i just enjoy teasing him.
” Just tell me the dress code,” i said standing up and walking up to him. I smoothed down the frown lines in his forehead.
He breathed out. His hands finding my waist. ” you know i love you right?” he whispered.
I leant back. ” what are you not telling me?”
” well the people i work with on the show are quite interesting especially the women” I had to smile, the fact that he decided to tell me in advance meant that he thought that i wouldn’t trust him which makes sense.
I ran my fingers through his hair. ” As long as you behave yourself, we’ve got nothing to worry about” I said. And I meant it.
I spent the most of the day at the office. I worked alongside Jake making preparations for the next month of business.
“What are you doing here, aren’t you supposed to be at his launch?” Molly said walking into my offcie. Thomas, my assistant standing nervously behind her.
” yeah at 6, I just need to finish this draft,”i said zooming in on my designs for the next collection in spring.
” No, you need to go now. You’ll be in the news if you don’t show your support for your boyfriend” Jake says walking in, my bag in his hand.
” I always support him” i replied.
Jake shook his head” you haven’t been to a single event, tell me what his show is called right now”
I do go to his events, occasionally. I mean, I’ve got a business to run too you know.
” fine, but Thomas make sure you have my schedule ready for tomorrow ” i said pointing at him.
I know I didn’t need to remind him, i would probably have it on my desk before i even get to this event tonight. He is good in doing what i ask when i ask with no exceptions.
I left the office and met Ben outside. He opens the door for me and starts on our way to the house to get changed for tonight.
I didn’t know much about this Tv show that Nick no only wrote and directs but stars in. He didn’t really share this with me, thinking about it now he doesn’t really talk that much about his businesses.
I walked into my wardrobe and pulled out a pink box i stashed in here last week. I get sent a lot of dresses and i normally send them to people but this one, i wanted to keep. A small time designer emailed me and sent this dress which she spend a whole year making from scratch.
I have worn dresses by top designers and i am a designer myself but i have never seen such a beautiful and detailed design for a dress.
I ran over to the window
I ran over to the window. Ben was waiting out near the car for me. ” i need some help”i shouted down to him.
He looked up at me. ” coming” I watched him run-up. There was no way that i could get this dress on myself, luckily for me Ben was used to doing this for me.
” Do I really not support him enough?” I asked Ben as he helped me into the car. These thoughts wouldn’t just go.
Ben turned to me” what, with Nick?” i nodded.
” I mean its true you dont really go to his events but people have to understand that you can’t just be at his beck and call, you have your business and i just dont see you being that trophy wife”
I leant back in my seat. Surprised at his response. Nobody had said this to me, was i supposed to just support him and not care about everything else.
Did he or any man deserve that.
” i think we established pretty early that you’re never going to be that kind of girl and i think Nick knows that too. If Nick wanted you at all these events he would ask wouldnt he” Ben spoke again as he pulled upto the venue for the event.
I had to smile. Ben really knew me well but that was expected with how much time he actually spent around me.
” don’t worry about them Selly, just march in there and support him tonight,” Ben said parking at the entrance. I smiled at him, leaning forward and kissing his cheek.
I turned around and got ready to face the scrutiny tonight. Tonight it was all about his show, with nominees in the top 3 catagories it was very plausable that he would win tonight.
As soon as i stepped out cameras turned to me, i quickly put that camara worthy smile on my face and walking inside.
” Selene, over here” I spotted James standing with a lovely blonde at his side.
” excuse me” i passed by reporters trying to get me to tlak to them. James clearly had the act for getting me out of interviews.
” You definitely dress like the girlfriend of Nick,” The blonde said after looking me over.
I glanced at James and saw him bite his lip. I held back my tongue. We havent been out in public since we had our fight but i guess it was clear we were better now.
” i will see you inside James” i touched his arm lightly and passed them.
Not only did i have the job of supporting Nick tonight but i also wanted to use the facilities here tonight to promote this dress. I spotted my favourite reporter who i studied with.
” got time for one more” i whispered sneaking up behind Juliet. She had just finished interviewing a popular singer who was here too.
She jumped slightly at me sneaking up at her. ” God, do you still do that” she groaned. She made this weird signal with her camaera man. He started to film us. She knew me too well.
She knew that i hated being on camera, i was always a lover of behind the scenes. The only reason i would come to her was to be on camera.
” Its been a long time, i can never miss an opportunity to scare you” i said with a smile.
Our line of work means we never really see eachother anymore, she really never has the time to socialise and she lives 3 hours from me anyway.
” i suppose, well dont just stand ther looking all gorgeous who exactly are you wearing tonight” she says running her fingers down my dress.
I showed off my dress ” I actually got sent this dress by a small designer, she is utterly sweet and has amazing talent”
“Clearly” she said, this wasnt for the camera, if i wasnt careful she would steal this from me the first chance she gets.
” Elena Daljina is the designers name, she event knew my size just by looking at pictures. I hope to wear a lot more of her clothes” i said sending a wink into the camera.
I hope she didnt mind the name drop.
” well we won’t keep you Selene, thankyou for gracing us with your beauty and elegance tonight” she kissed me on the cheek.
I thanked her and quietly stepped away as more people a lot more famous than me came in.
I followed people towards the main room. I would be sitting with Nick tonight so all i had to do was find him.
Unfortunately for me, i bumped into that blonde from earlier, without James this time. She stood with another woman, she wore a long red dress with a long slit on the side.
She did look stunning.
” Looking for Nick?” The blonde asked. I breathed deeply, why is she wanting a reaction so bad.
” just on my way to him now” i said looking around carefully.
” just be careful honey, Nick isn’t always a perfect gentlemen” the other girl asked.
I stepped back.
” whats that supposed to mean?” i asked her.
She licked her lips ” it’s just my friend said she spend saturday night with him whilst you were in paris, heard they were very close” she explained.
She looked proud for a few seconds, thinking she had me there but what she didnt know is that i knew exactly where Nick was on saturday night.
I smirked at them. ” Thats quite sad you know. The fact that your friend had to come up with lies about a man that doesnt even know she exists” i lowered my voice.
She gaped at me. ” i dont think you want to know what Nick was really doing saturday night”i said leaning down to her. I was taller than her even with her ridiculously high stilettos.
“Or you might, depends on what youre into i guess” with that said i turned around and headed towards the centre of the room.
I made it sound like Nick was with me that night but in reality Nick invited My father for some late night fishing in ireland. He ended up staying at my parents rental home there.
It was stupid of them to event think that they could lie and get away with it.
When i turned around i instantly stood up straight, Nick stood looking as delicious as ever, staring straight at me.
He beckoned me over with his finger.
I licked my lips and started to walk over. I could feel people’s eyes on me, on us but I didnt care, i wanted, no needed to show people.
As soon as i reached him i curled my hand around his neck and kissed him softly on his lips. He grabbed my waist puling me tightly against him.
” If they didnt look so jealous of me right now, i would be pissed to have all these guys eyes on you.” he whispered leaning back.
He brushed his finger at the corner of my lips.
” you’re a lucky man to have me all to yourself” i mouthed.
He pulled me tight. ” you bet i am, its been less that 12 hours since i’ve had you but fuck me, selene i want to do it again, preferably soon” he whispered the last part.
Thank god for the lud music in here.
“alright lovebirds, lets keep it moving. You two look like you’re going to give a live porno to these people anytime soon” James said walking upto us, wrapping his arms around us.
I giggled, but reluctantly let james push us further into the room.
After 3o minutes we were patiently waiting for the highly anticipated award of tonight.
The actress on stage read out Nick’s name. He grinned as a camera was zoomed into his face. I stood up with him kissing him on the lips.
” congrats baby” i whispered as he stood up getting ready to walk up.
He was about to walk up but i grabbed his arm. I reached into his pocket taking out his glasses.
He watched me carefully as i placed them over his eyes.
“There, Delicious” i whispered.
