You and Grant are now heading to the movie premiere. You're not quite sure what that conversation with him in his house meant but you're also not sure if you want to find out. You know you feel good when you are with him and even though you're terrified that you can have serious trouble at work, the will of being around him is stronger than pushing him away.
Grant has been smiling foolishly since you two left the house. "So, tell me, what do I have to do there?"
"You know, usual stuff. Red Carpet for a bunch of photographs... Some little interviews in the red carpet. It would be nice if you say you really like the director's work as well as the members of the cast..."
"That's easy. I do."
"Good. Then you socialize with people. I'll introduce you to some of them, though I have no doubt you'll do just great without me." You smile at him.
Grant grins. "But I prefer to have you around."
You roll your eyes with a smile. "Right."
"Yeah. Then we watch the movie?"
"Sure, if you want to. Many actors and actresses that attend their movie premieres don't actually watch the movies because they don't like to see themselves... But since it's not your movie..." You giggle.
"Right. And if we stay to watch it will you sit next to me?"
"No. You'll be sitting with the guests, next to other actors and public figures. I'm here not only as your publicist but also as a member of the team that worked on this movie's publicity. I'll stay in a different place."
"Oh... That sucks."
You can't help but laugh. "Hahah, it would be amazing, an actor's publicist sitting right next to him in a movie premiere." You laugh even more.
Grant sighs. "Whatever. It's probably for the best anyway. This is a public event and I'm not sure what I would do if you were sitting right next to me..."
"Grant... For the entire event I'm strictly your publicist, ok?"
"I know, don't worry. I said you could trust me, I mean it. I won't do or say anything foolish, I promise."
"Ok." You look at him with a smile.
When you arrive at the place, the valet takes the car and you lead Grant to one of your acquaintances, who's in the organization of the premiere. Then comes the red carpet, with photos and interviews, where Grant shines as always. After that comes the socializing part and Grant is a success too.
During the screening of the movie, with Grant away from you, you can't help but feel happy. Grant kept his promise, no comprised looks to you, no teasing, no getting too close, no nothing. It was just a professional thing, a client and his publicist in a public event.
When it's over you go look for him and you find him talking very entertained to a beautiful young actress that was in the movie. You smirk. 'Of course.' You can't help but feel extremely jealous which annoys you very much. 'Why am I jealous, it's not like he's my boyfriend. Jeez, what am I even saying?' You slap your forehead, like you're punishing yourself for having such thoughts.
Not even a minute later you find Grant standing right next to you. "Hi, are we leaving now?" He asks smiling.
"Well, yeah, unless you want to stay talking to that boring actress..." Your spiteful tone is a bit too obvious.
Grant chuckles. "Oh oh... What is that? Are you jealous?" He smiles amused.
You blush at his words. "What?! Jealous?! You're crazy. Why should I be jealous?" You try to sound offended.
Grant grins. "Right. And if you must know, yes, she's boring and I'm glad you're here so we can leave. Thanks for saving me."
You scowl. "If she was so boring you should have just made an excuse to walk away instead of staying there talking very entertained to her."
"Sorry, but that would be rude and I wouldn't do that. I was just pretending to be entertained with the conversation. And I thought you were still busy with work, so I was making time till you were free to go. Why are you so grumpy?"
You take a deep breath. "I don't even know. Sorry. Can we go?" You can't even look him in the eyes because you're feeling ashamed of your sudden and uncalled for jealousy.
Grant nods. "Sure, we can. I would hug you right now if I could." He says seriously lowering his voice.
You sigh, without saying anything. You and Grant walk to the car where the valet was waiting with the key.
On your way you try a normal conversation about the premiere.
Grant smiles. "It was great. Loved it. Thanks for putting me in this."
"You're welcome. And here we are." You say as you stop in the front of Grant's house.
"Do you wanna come in?" He asks straightforward.
"Oh. I don't think it's a good idea..." You shake your head, but deep inside you want to say yes. In fact, you just want to be with him for as long as we can.
Grant reaches his hand to yours and holds it. "Doug is not here. He went upstate to San Francisco to visit his family and he will stay there for the entire weekend."
You look at Grant trying to decide what to do.
Grant smiles. "I'm sure Jett would love some more cuddles from you..."
You finally smile. "Right, you're blackmailing me with Jett..."
"If that's what it takes for you to say yes, then yeah, I'm blackmailing you with Jett." He grins.
You shake your head chuckling while you think to yourself, 'if I get to cuddle with you as well instead of just Jett I say yes.' Again, you could just slap yourself. 'This is insane...'
Grant kisses the palm of your hand. "Also, I can make you some pancakes. I'm starving."
You giggle. "Yeah, alluring me with food..." You take a deep breath. "Ok, I'm coming in. But just for a little bit..."
Grant grins. "Great. Let's go."
A/N Ok, what now…?
