Austin Butler x Mavis Jackson Fanfic

Chapter 4: Paparazzi

Mavis's POV

I was driving around LA on my own in my black land rover so I could get some shopping done. I normally have my boyfriend with me but he's sleeping and I didn't want to wake him up. I started to get nervous, I don't normally go shopping by myself but I needed to be alone. I also didn't want to be followed by fans and paparazzi. As I pulled to a stop because the lights turned red, my phone started ringing. I saw Austin's name pop up on my phone.

I connect my phone to the car so I can drive without holding my phone in case I accidentally crash into something.

"Baby, where are you" my boyfriend says in a deep voice as he just woke up.

"I wanted to get some shopping done" I tell him.

"You should've woken me up so I could go with you" he says with sadness in his voice.

"I'm sorry baby it's just you looked cute when you're sleeping" I answer back.

"Do you want me to get Darrel to give me a lift to meet you" he says worried that paparazzi might crowd around me.

Darrel is Austin's bodyguard who follows him everywhere, he's also one of my good friend's.

"I am nervous Austin, I don't normally go by myself" I said.

"I'll be on my way in five minutes, I just texted Darrel" Austin says in a calm voice.

We continued to talk until I parked my car outside Target. Austin's in Darrel's car when I hung up. I quickly put my phone in my bag which had my purse and car keys in it. I put my hair up into a high ponytail and put a black cap on, so I have a small disguise on. I'm not that famous but people know who I am as I'm dating Austin. I grab my gum which is mint flavored as I don't like bubblegum. I put my airpods, before leaving the car. I take a deep breath as I walk through the door.

I grab a trolley and start shopping. I notice a few people recognize who I am, and took a few pictures but I don't seem to mind as their only young. I continued shopping, when Austin texts me saying Darrel's parked next to my car. I stayed where I am so Austin can find me easily.

"Hey baby" I heard a voice from behind me.

I turned around and see Austin with a smile on his face. He gives me a quick kiss before grabbing the trolley from me. I continue to grab things that are on my shopping list and put them in the trolley.

"Did you see any paparazzi when you walked in" I say, trying not to worry about it.

"There's quiet a few but don't worry about it okay" Austin says trying to calm my nerves down.

Around five minutes later, we finished and checked out. We put the bags in the trolley so we didn't have to carry them. My nerves began to get worse as I now noticed the amount of people waiting outside the exit. I could tell Austin was getting concerned about me as he puts an arm around my waist. He payed for the stuff before we started the walk out. I held on tight to Austin's hand. Darrel moved in front of us, so we had enough space to walk.

"Make space" Darrel says in a loud tome as paparazzi took photos and started shouting questions at me and Austin.

Austin held onto me tightly, I felt his thumb rub against the back of my hand.

"Mavis do you think you'll have kids soon" one of the paparazzi says next to me.

We thankfully made it to my car, Austin opened the passenger door for me so I was out of the way. Austin opened the boot and started filling it up. The paparazzi split up, some were still recording and trying to get Austin to answer some questions while some went over to me crowding my door. One tried to open the door and began shouting at me. My hands were shaking and I couldn't breathe properly. I rolled down the window.

"Can... can you back up please, you're scaring me" I asked politely, while trying not to panic even more.

"This is our job we get paid to do this" one of the paparazzi says.

My heart was beating faster and my breathing wasn't under control anymore. How can anyone get paid to do this, it's disgusting.

I look behind me to see a dangerous look of Austin which I've never seen before. He stared next to me the guy who answered back. Austin closes the boot and goes to the drivers seat, he sees my hand shaking rapidly and my breathing out of time.

"You guys have no respect of personal space" Austin speaks up, which is caught by some of the paparazzi.

We both closed the windows before driving away. Darrel drove behind us. Luckily none of the paparazzi followed us home. Austin put his hand on my thigh to help me calm down. I took my airpods out now as we drove back to our apartment. I put my gum back in the car pocket and took a sip of water.

After a few minutes, my breathing was back to normal and I wasn't shaking anymore.

'Why does being famous have to be like this?' I thought to myself.
