Holliewood (Completed)

chapter fourteen

Click. Click. Click.

The lights flashed in our direction. Raymond stood behind me, softly placing his hand that had been adorned with diamond rings on my hip.

"Look over here, Hollie," one of the photographers yelled.

"$killz, over here!" yelled another.

The men with huge cameras took pictures of us as we stood on the MTV Video Music Award red carpet. The carpet had been filled with the music industry's elite along with other popular celebrities. Chatter filled the outside of the venue as everyone looked forward to the night ahead.

My champagne-coloured bodycon gown hugged my body and draped down the carpet. I showcased my leg through the slit and turned my head in different angles.

"I'll let them take individual pictures of you," Raymond spoke into my ear before placing a kiss on my cheek.

I smiled at him as he stood to the side. I saw it as my moment to be the star of the show and also give them a view of the back of the dress.

After my pictures were taken, he joined back in the pictures and I faced him, putting my hand on his chest. We ended off by giving each other a soft pick on the lips - that would be the winning shot.

He took a hold of my hand and led the way towards the venue entrance.

"Hollie, $killz," we heard a voice and turned to see it belong to an entertainment news reporter.

We walked towards her and gave her a greeting. A cameraman stood behind her.

"Wow! The both of you look amazing tonight!" She started.

"Thank you," Raymond and I replied in unison.

"Who are you wearing?" She asked before putting the mic close to my lips.

"I'm wearing a custom-made dress by Valdrin Sahiti. He's literally one of my favourite designers," I responded, smoothing my hands down the dress, "and he always comes through when I need him."

"It's so beautiful! It was really made for you!" she said, observing my dress.

"Thank you."

"And $killz, who are you wearing?" She asked Raymond, referring to his black suit that he wore with his chains instead of a tie.

"I'm wearing Gucci," he said simply while smiling

"It looks good on you," she complimented.

"Preciate it."

"Y'all are such a beautiful couple, probably my favourite already!" She gushed, "I believe this is your first red carpet appearance since going public"

I smiled shyly and Raymond let out a laugh, "Thank you. Uh, yes it is," he answered.

"So I heard the both of you are premiering the music video for Pull Up tonight, which is my favourite song by the way, what can we expect from the video?"

"I think you can expect sensuality, sexiness and just... fun," I expressed, "If you saw our SNL performance, then you'll have a good idea of the video."

"She's the star of the video. Honestly, she did great," Raymond added, as he took a hold of my manicured hand and rubbed it.

"Thank you, baby," I said looking at him.

"I look forward to seeing it," she sounded excited, "$killz, you're nominated for Best Hip-Hop Video, and Hollie, you're nominated for Best Female Video and Best Choreography. How does it feel?"
