AWARDS AND CO-STARS: Part 5

At the awards show, Tara and Asher were still in the limo. Asher was fixing his slightly messed up hair, from Tara's hand that had been in it. His lips, slightly swollen from their makeout. She was also fixing her red lipstick that now matched her flushed cheeks and tip of nose. 

After touching up, they both got out of the limo and made their way down the red carpet. The bright lights and cameras are flashing at all of the stars, taking their pictures as everyone posed. Some were speaking to the press, doing short interviews.

Asher took Tara's hand as they made their way down the red carpet, stopping every so often to take pictures for the paparazzi. After a few minutes, Asher's parents made their way up to them. "Asher, sweetie, the three of us need some pictures together," Susan said.

 "I'll just be a moment," Asher says to Tara as he takes his hand off her lower back. 

"Yeah, it's fine," Tara assures as Asher and his parents walk a little further down the carpet to take pictures.

 Tara wasn't camera shy at all, being the daughter of Victoria and Josh Lovely, she practically grew up around cameras, and she knew her angles. So as the Montgomerys were doing their pictures, Tara worked the cameras by posing for her own. In return, she got more and more paparazzi trying to get her picture. 

"Tara Lovely look over here!", "Tara are you dating Asher Montgomery?!", "Beautiful, Tara!" Were just some of the comments that Tara was hearing as she was effortlessly posing and smiling for pictures. After about two minutes, she felt a tall body come near hers, gently taking a hold of the small of her waist, bringing her in closer. 

"You're turning this into the Tara Lovely Awards," Asher whispered in her left ear, smirking a bit at how beautiful his girlfriend was and how she could just pull a crowd in just by flashing a sweet smile. 

"Sorry," Tara giggled.

 "Don't apologize. Ready to head inside?" Asher smirked down at Tara who nodded in response.

Inside, the building is lit up with bright lights, lighting up the luxurious, glitzy hall. There are celebrities at every turn and rock music playing a bit lowly in the background. 

"They really went all out this year," Susan said as she took a hor derv from off the tray that a waiter was carrying around. 

"Look, Bon Jovi!" Tara pointed out excitedly. The Montgomerys laughed lightly at Tara's outburst. "Asher," Tara said as she looked up at Asher with puppy dog eyes.

 "You want a picture don't you," Asher stated. 

"Yeah," Tara said, smiling excitedly. 

"Let's go meet them then," Asher chuckled as he took Tara's hand, walking over to the classic rock and roll group.

 "She seems to make Asher happy," Susan said to Harry, happily watching Asher and Tara make their way across the room.

"Yeah. Let's just hope he keeps her around. I started losing count at this point," Harry said before taking a sip of iced tea. 

"You know I could tell Asher always liked Tara," Susan said, watching Asher and Tara take a video with Bon Jovi, laughing and singing a few lyrics. 

"OH you guys, they just told me I have an amazing voice when I just sang," Tara squealed as she and Asher made their way back.

 "Hey, I tell you that all the time," Asher said, slightly jealous. 

"Yeah but you're not a famous rocker yet," Tara said, still starstruck. 

Asher then rolled his eyes. "They also said 'congratulations' to you dad."

"Oh, well I guess I should go thank them. I'll meet you all inside," Harry said with a smile before he made his way into the crowd.
