A Fan Girl's Dream

Chapter Ten

"Holy shit, Jenna! That's amazing! God, post it now! You should've posted it right away!"

I laughed at Elena's reaction and quickly created a post. I added the picture of Sebastian and I touching foreheads. "Just brainstorming." I hit post and put my phone away, ready to rejoin everyone as we made our way into the party. The party for me. Sebastian held his arm out and I locked mine with his. He leaned to kiss my cheek quickly and I heard the flashing of cameras behind us. I couldn't wait to see that picture later. We walked forward, our group surrounding us, leaving most of the reporters and all the paparazzi behind us.

The place looked magical. El really wanted to run with the vampire theme of my stories, so all the decorations were either black, silver, or blood red. It looked amazing. As we entered the room further I pulled away from Sebastian to spin and look at everything. "Wow..."

"I guess you hadn't seen the room before?" Sebastian asked and I didn't answer, just shook my head. "It looks beautiful." He walked towards me and wrapped his arms around me again. "And it's all for you."

I smiled up at him, leaning forward to kiss him. "I'm trying not to say that this doesn't feel real, but just... wow."

"What's the most surprising part of all of this?" Sebastian kissed my forehead after asking.

"The fact that this all started... Because I started writing Marvel fanfictions." I laughed loudly. "I just had an idea and went with it, then got this big response I wasn't ready for. So I kept writing. And writing. And eventually... I got here."

"I've been meaning to ask you, what was your first one?"

"Uh..." I hesitated. "A Bucky and Loki love triangle." I chuckled.

"Wait! I read that one, I liked it! That was your first?"

I nodded. "Yep. It's actually still the most popular online, too. It really mostly blew up overnight. It was my first sight of fame I guess."

Anthony yelled from behind us. "Hey! Sebastian! Stop hogging her!"

Sebastian and I laughed. "Guess I should let some other people have you."

"I guess so. But save me a dance tonight." I leaned forward to kiss him again. His arms wrapped tightly around me and it made me not want to leave. "You're making this difficult." I murmured against his lips.

"Sorry, sorry." Sebastian laughed. "Go get 'em."

I blew him a kiss as I walked towards El. "Well, hey Mrs. Lovebird. How's your date?"

"Oh, hush." I rolled my eyes at her pushing.

"Come on, I need something!"

I giggled. "Let's just say, that was not the only picture we took today."

El's eyes widened. "Dirty pictures?"

I pushed her arm. "Oh, god! El! No! We just met. Come on."

"Boring! Anyway. To business I guess." She rolled her eyes. "So you have some time to mingle before we have the speech and the questions after. You ready for all this, hun?"

"Nope! Not at all, but I'm here. All I'll do whatever you tell me to do." I smiled and Elena laughed.

"Oh, baby. You know just what to say." El winked. "Just enjoy yourself, hun. This is all for you. All because of you."

"Yeah, I've heard that a lot tonight. Thank you, for everything, El. I don't know how much I've told you that recently, but I couldn't have done it without you. You're my rock." I grabbed her hand and squeezed.

"Save it for the speech." Elena squeezed my hand back. "Now, go and mingle!"

I turned and the first person I saw was Chris Evans. "Hey!"

"Jenna!" Chris greeted me, bringing me into a one armed hug. "How are you doing?"

"Overwhelmed, definitely. But I'm here." I sighed. "I'm sorry if the tattoo thing was... weird. I wasn't going to say anything, I mean-"

"No, no!" Chris interrupted. "It's not! You forget, we were all Marvel fans first. And those things, like that scene, meant a lot to us too. It's cool seeing those things affect other people as much as it affected us."

"I... I never really thought of it that way before. Thank you."

Chris nodded and smiled. "Plus, this is something I get to hold over Sebastian for a while so, really. Thank you."

He and I laughed and he put his arm around me. "Now, let's go talk to some people, shall we? See if we can get Sebastian jealous in the mean time, huh?"

"Oh, you're trouble. And here I thought Anthony Mackie was the trouble maker. You sure fooled me, Mister Evans!"

"I guess I did!" Chris laughed. "But I like the way you're thinking. Let's go see what Anthony is up to."
