"If your publicist asks me another pretend question, I will go crazy" I whispered, walking out of the hotel.
Shawn smiled, "She just wants to make sure we look good. It's her job. Don't worry, I'll tell her to lay off"
"Are you ready though?" Shawn asked, sliding the van's doors close behind us.
I shrugged, "I have like two minutes to be"
Shawn and I had spent the entire day getting ready in my hotel at the LA Live plaza. The car we'd just got in drove around the crowded block to the beginning of the Grammys red carpet.
"You're beautiful, Nova," Shawn smiled.
"No touching her face," Andrew reminded.
I laughed, "Will a kiss ruin my makeup?"
"I suppose not," Andrew turned away.
Shawn and I shared a short, sweet kiss. We weren't allowed to touch each other's hair, faces, or outfits. His team was scared we'd ruin something before the red carpet. They were really scared of this going badly.
"Alright, Shawn, go time" Andrew got out of the car.
Everyone exited the car except for Shawn and I, who were sitting in the back seats. Once the car was emptied out, Shawn pressed one last kiss to my lips and we stepped out. Shawn was first, earning an ear splitting cheer from the crowd. He offered me his hand and I took it, carefully stepping out of the van.
"Hey, I just got the rundown" Andrew walked over to us after a few minutes.
"Lay it out for us," Shawn nodded.
"Red carpet first. You'll be directed down. Teddy, Emily, and Scott will follow you guys, although the main focus will be you. The interviews are further down. You'll go booth by booth, yes?"
"Okay" I nodded.
"Your parents are at the end of the carpet, Shawn. They're going to wait inside. After interviews you'll be brought to the dressing room and change. Your next fits are already there. We'll get to the rest after you change, yes?"
"Yes," Shawn nodded.
"Perfect. Go kill it" Andrew patted Shawn's back. I took a deep breath and nodded.
