My Brother's Best-friend

Chapter 23

Breakfast was incredible. My nerves weren't eased yet though as I knew I still had to show out for the premiere tonight. "You're going to look amazing. I don't know why you're so worried." Charlie assures me, making me look at him. He was such a sweet guy. I truly didn't deserve him sometimes. "Thank you. I'm just nervous. There's going to be a lot of people there." I say, playing with my fingers. He notices and takes my hand in his own. That helps a bit too.

"You're not going to be alone. You'll have me, Owen, Jer, Madi, and Savannah. You're going to have us." He says and I smile softly, nodding. "I'm glad to have you all." I lean my head on his shoulder. He smiles and kisses my forehead gently. Charlie was the sweetest man alive. This world truly didn't deserve him sometimes. He had a heart of gold. Well, he was Canadian. That described where some of it came from. A knock on the door makes me walk over to open it. It was his sister, Meghan. "Hi!" She says excitedly, hugging me tightly. I laugh softly and hug her back. Family was allowed to come to their premieres. Charlie's parents and sister were tagging along with us.

"You don't understand how excited I am. Especially to get to watch the first episode of Julie and The Phantoms!" She says and I nod, smiling at her. Charlie shakes his head from the bed. "Get up, grumpy pants." I say making him laugh softly and sit up. "I'll be back!" Meghan quickly goes to help her parents by the elevator. I smile and close the door, walking over to the bed. "Your sister is really sweet." I say, standing in front of him. He places his hands on my waist and looks up at me. "She's hyper all the time." He says and I nod a little. "You are too." I say making him fake glare at me. I begin to giggle when I feel his hands start to tickle my sides. I collapse onto the bed beside him, laughing more as he rolls over to be able to tickle me quicker. "S-stop!" I say, trying to squirm out of his grasps. He chuckles softly and takes his hands away. I breathe heavily.

"That was mean." I say and he laughs a bit more. "How do you look that adorable even while being tickled?" He says making me shake my head at him. "No more kisses for you." I say, crossing my arms. He begins to pout. I glance at him before quickly looking away. I couldn't handle Charlie's puppy dog eyes. "Baby.." He says quietly making me glance at him again.

"Stopppp." I roll over to face away from him. He grabs my waist to roll me back over. I'm forced to look at him this time. "Fine." I say, quickly cupping his face to peck his lips. He smiles softly when I do. "Now, time to get ready." I stand up. He eventually decides to quit being lazy and follow me.

We spent the rest of the morning and most of the afternoon getting ready. The rest of the cast took their time as well to get ready for tonight. I put the dress Madi let me borrow on and look in the mirror. It was absolutely stunning. I was grateful Madison and I were close to the same size. The dress was slightly tight in some places but it worked out perfectly to help show off my curves. I finish my makeup and begin to curl my hair while Charlie steps into the bathroom. He's wearing a suit and tie. He looks incredibly handsome.

"Damn. That's my girl right there." He says making me giggle softly and blush. "You look very handsome, babe." I say to him. He leans over to kiss my cheek softly. I finish curling my hair and walk to place on my heels. With a light spray of perfume, I'm ready to go. We meet up with everyone in the hotel lobby and make our way to the cars waiting outside to drive us. I sit beside Charlie and take his hand. He smiles and stays close to me. Owen talks the whole drive there about how excited he is. Kind of reminded me of Meghan. Those two would talk your head off if they truly wanted to. We arrive at the premiere and step out of the car. Charlie holds out his hand to help me out, the cameras immediately snapping pictures of us. I felt even more nervous but calmed down once I remembered what Charlie said earlier. He was gonna be with me the whole time. I didn't have to worry about anything. I smile and intertwine our fingers, beginning to walk with him.

"Mr. Gillespie! Mr. Gillespie, who's this special girl in your life?" A reporter asks. Charlie smiles and looks at me. "This is Mila Joyner. My girlfriend, hopefully soon to be fiancé." Charlie responds and I quickly look at him. Fiancé? Soon to be? My heart began to beat a bit faster and I smile at him. He smiles and wraps his arm around my waist. We continue to walk together as pictures are taken of us. Charlie stops a few times to answer random questions or talk to people. Madi grabs my hand and pulls me over to her to take pictures. I laugh softly and pose with her. Owen and Charlie jump in the back of a few of them, making us laugh more. Jeremy runs over and drops to his knee in front of us to get a group picture. It was going to be incredibly cute.

"I can't wait to see that picture." Madi says and I nod quickly. "I bet it's really cute." I say as we walk inside together. We find a place to sit and Kenny gets up on stage to talk. "Welcome, fantoms." I smile and lean back to listen.
