"you look good" i hear a soft birmingham accent from behind me

i turn and see jude as mila takes photos of me, i smile softly "thank you."

"is this good enough your highness?" mila joked showing me the photo she had just taken of me
"love it" i smiled and took my phone from her

"i reckon i could do better." jude said looking over my shoulder at the photo

"oh yeah?" i asked turning to him "professional footballer as well as professional photographer now?" i questioned him and he smirked

"sort of yeah" he smirked slightly "do you mind?" he nodded towards my phone and i gave him it straight away "take it away brummy." i gave him a nickname. that's the accent he has, a brummy accent.

he gave me a look and chuckled.

i posed a two different ways for him and before i could pose anymore he said "got it."

i stepped closer to him and he showed me the second photo.

"i actually love it." i said honestly

"you're welcome" he handed me back my phone smiling.

"i'll post it once we get seated." i said softly "but for now, we've gotta leave through the back way and get into the car" i told him and he nodded

mila walked us to the back exit where our SUV was and opened the big black steel doors.
that's when we heard how busy it was outside, fans, media, photographers and the celebrities.

ricky was now here and opening the back door to the SUV for us.
jude walked around the other side and got in the other door.
the door shut and we slowly drove around to the front of the venue.

"this is it." i said to jude "our lives are connected from now" i joked making him laugh and shrug "i know" he said "they could've gave me kendall jenner or something." he said and i eyed him "like gigi hadid"

oh nice. great.

"you ready?" he asked me as we stopped at the top of the red carpet.

i ignored him and allowed ricky to open my car door for me.
by this point jude was at my door also.

henry installed small ear pieces in our ears so he could talk to us and almost script us through everything which i thought was a joke.

"jude, help her get out and hold her hand" henry said through our ear piece
jude and i looked at each other then he reached in to grab my hand.

once i got out of the black SUV that's when the crowds roared.
i was one of the biggest names in music right now. it was slightly overwhelming how quick my success came but i don't think i'd have it any other way.

jude squeezed my hand as we were positioned on the top of the red carpet.

i can't believe jude. saying he'd rather be in a pr stunt with kendall jenner or gigi hadid.

GIGI HADID??? she's one of the biggest bitches going!

i can say that because i've met her and she wasn't a nice person at all. probably because i was shagging her ex but.. that does that matter.

"you okay?" jude asked me.

i nodded and carried on walking

"please look like you're in the honey moon faze of your little relationship. this has to be believable" henry said to us through our in ears
i sighed and shook my head
