After months and months of stressful preparations, late night pack-ups, photoshoots, recordings, guestings, promotions and everything else in between, Live in Love is finally down to its first premiere night. And tonight, is no short in special because they will be walking down the red carpets of Los Angeles. Their handlers made sure they got enough rest and flew them in two days before the actual red carpet event.
Good luck to us, B. See ya. Xoxo –Dianna
Chord can't help but smile and blush a bit in his black tuxedo as he eyed his phone of Dianna's message. To be honest, he really loved it when she called him "B" even if it actually meant "Blondie" and during their whole time together their nickname for each other just kind of stuck.
Can't wait. Cali's never been more awesome! – Chord
Dianna thumbed her phone quickly just to see his text. She laughed at how excited he was to go to their first, of so many, movie premiere. She figured she'd let him be and proceeded to letting her glam team do their magic. In no time, she was ready in her red evening gown that accentuated her curves perfectly. She wore her now long blonde locks in a bun and let loose a few strands to cascade down her face.
~~DC~~DC~~DC~~
"You look amazing. As always." He greeted her with his usual boy-next-door smile as she opened her hotel door to him. They were both staying in the same hotel and Chord of course volunteered to pick her up so they can ride to the premiere together.
"And you look dashing as ever, Mr. Overstreet!" She giggled as she took his extended hand and let him lead them both out of the door way.
"Can you believe it? It's been 8 freakin' months since we did our first table read" Chord shared as he settled in his seat inside the limo that was set to drive them to the venue.
"I think that by far was the best decision I made, post-Glee projects I mean." Dianna looked outside her window, not really directing her answer to him but more like voicing out something she was thinking for a while now.
"Can I ask you something, B?" Chord almost whispered but she caught into it. She didn't look back but gestured for him to go on. "hmm?"
"Why did you decide to leave Glee?" at that, she sighed and looked at him. Like, finally looked at him and it was like seeing him in a new light. She tilted her head slightly to one side and then back again.
"I wanted to grow and feel that sense of accomplishment again. I felt like I was staying too long." She replied without looking away from his sea of blue eyes.
"But you weren't afraid to do Live in Love when the contract clearly stated it was more than 5 months even if all the movies you did didn't even last more than 3 months." He so badly wanted to touch her hand that was just there on the arm rest beside him.
"Because I just knew I was going to enjoy myself… with you." He wanted her to continue but she smiled contently and instead laid her head on his shoulder and somehow, that was more than enough for him.
~~DC~~DC~~DC~~
"Over here, Dianna look here!" "Chord, Smize!" "Dianna!"
Chord tried his best to concentrate between smiling for all the cameras in front of him and checking on his on screen partner's exact location. The moment they got down of the limo, the crowds automatically went wild. Never mind that other stars are already here, never mind that the camera people are practically smashing against each other, never mind that it's bound to be a long night. It was theirs. Tonight, Chord and Dianna, Dianna and Chord are set to make history.
He walked back a little to let her catch up with him, she was signing a few autographs that was pushed on her face. He figured she needed much help as she could with her dress so that she'll be able to actually move; so he went crouched down behind her and grabbed a handful of cloth as he tried to remove it on her heels' way. She mouthed 'thanks' before signing one last autograph and finally returning the pen to one of the crowd. He gestured for her to walk already as he kept up with her but instead she grabbed his hands, laughing and slightly amused.
"c'mere!" She hooked her free arm onto his while her other hand fiddled with her gown. Together, they smiled at the cameras before finally moving forward.
There were already a lot of people in the theater when they were finally able to come in. They shuffled their way towards the center where they were directed to sit, right beside Colton, Elliot, Rick, Sheena amongst others. In a section on the far right was some of their former Glee castmates and producers who showed their support. Darren, proving to be the most excited one of the bunch even got up from his seat just to wave at the two. They were so overwhelmed of all the support and craze they never imagined they will get. It wasn't that Live in Love was not over the top or nice at all, no. They just didn't figure it would catch so much attention considering they were very short of budget which meant short in casting and even other props and such. That's why even Colton himself was surprised when organizers all over America called him to ask for either simultaneous premiers or even better, special premieres. Chord and Dianna proved to still be most shocked of all because tonight, they can't do anything but smile and shake their head at all the attention they're being given.
After the film, an after party was held at a nearby bar. Thankfully, Dianna's glam team prepared a shorter dress for her to move in. it was a simple black slip dress that could pass as a party dress but it had to do. If you asked her, she was already tired but this was her night and she would be lying if she said she wasn't enjoying every moment of it. All throughout the premiere and after party, Chord never left her side, making sure she didn't need anything. That was up until Naya snatched her from him.
"Mind if we borrow Lady Di for a minute?" Naya gave him a wink as she was already snaking her arms around the blonde's figure.
"I'll be back 'kay?" Dianna smiled as she excused herself from the crowed they were entertaining.
"Soooo, congratulations love! I know this isn't the first and definitely not the last but I'm just so happy for you!" Naya hugged her as much as her pregnant belly could allow her. She then led the two of them onto the table where the others were.
"Nay, I'm just happy you were able to come. You didn't have too but thank you. I love you."
"Anytime hun. Well that's why I snatched you, I have to go in a while and I wanted to just talk to you ya know…"
"Hey! There she is!" Kevin waved his hand and got up from his seat beside Becca and kissed Dianna on the cheek.
"Thank you so much you guys I love all of you!" Dianna hugged everyone on the table then finally rested on the side.
"You know, we always knew it would come to this. Ryan here was just too stubborn!" Darren voiced out, laughing
"It would come to what?" Dianna cocked her head sideways giving him a quizzical look.
"Preach! They were goals! We're so happy you guys finally got together." Kevin instead butt in "Yeah, took you two only forever!" Becca added
"What? No! We're not... Chord and I," But Dianna stopped herself. Yes, they weren't together. But she also said she won't be closing her doors. "Nope. Not in present, we're not."
"Oh really? We just kind of assumed… given the way you two acted earlier" Heather uttered, looking away from her phone.
"No, wait how we acted what act?" Dianna hated that she sounded so defensive but she knew she wasn't acting like anything so she just hated it more that she felt clueless.
"Yeah, what act?" Chord butt in smiling as he looped his arm on Dianna's waist. She felt herself blush for a moment and actually thanked heavens there was very limited lighting in the bar.
"Oh nothing, we were just talking about how perfect you guys were and Kevin here was just saying how bummed he is I didn't make you two endgame" Ryan replied, smirk evident on his face.
"Of course we're bummed! They were OTP goals!" Darren replied laughing and everybody laughed along.
"Seriously tho Ry, thank you so much for the referral. This has been such a great opportunity." Chord replied while Dianna struggled to see his expression before nodding her head.
"Anytime. And with that kind of performance, I am pretty sure this won't be your last project together." Ryan replied and everybody agreed.
"That would just be a huge blessing. We still have a ton to do tho before Live in Love craze will be over, over." Dianna replied
"I don't mind tho. I would never mind working with Di here for the rest of my life!" Chord replied and everyone fell silent. Maybe it was just the sleeplessness or maybe it was just something in Dianna telling her something is changing.
