This was simultaneously one the best and worst days of Saint's life. Today was a dream come true. Every single time he stepped onto a red carpet for a premiere was unreal.
The amounts of people that showed support for a movie he starred in was mind blowing. The critics that wrote nothing, but inspiring mentions about his versatility and acting deserved greatness.
Despite past encounters, this premiere wasn't laced in happiness. A feeling of pain lingered in his heart. Every time he saw Celeste, his feelings hurt more. She looked full of despair and misery. That expression changed when she saw her dress, but quickly returned, it only provided a temporary respite.
Saint wasn't sure if she was ready to speak to him again, so he separated himself from her for a while. He didn't touch her like normal, and he didn't say anything that would potentially make her more upset.
As they arrived at the venue, she sat in the limousine silently fidgeting with her nails.
Sanai sat with Summer as they talked about expectations of the red carpet. Saint didn't care enough to be involved, his mind was solely focused on making Celeste like him again.
He couldn't function properly when she was mad. His only solution was to eliminate that emotion from her body. Saint's mind was one tracked until their relationship status was repaired.
Saint finally escaped his thoughts, because the atmosphere got louder and brighter. This meant photographers were stationed waiting for the actors' arrival. The chauffeur parked the car and held the door open.
Saint was the first person to exit and he was immediately blinded by the flashing cameras. He threw his hand up and waved with a million dollar smile. He knew the pictures would be over the internet, so he made sure to execute perfection.
When the girls made their entrance, he held Sanai's hand as they walked down the carpet. The audience erupted in, 'aw' and other cues of affection. This was the very first time Saint and Sanai made a public experience.
Saint could feel Sanai's hand starting to shake and a worried facial structure. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You're nervous?"
Sanai anxiously nodded as her body continued to shake. Saint picked her up and turned her head away from the flashing.
He continued posing for the cameras. He felt Celeste stand closely next to him as the photographer said, "Smile, here!" He said while waving his hand.
Saint's arm safely enclosed her body towards his. Summer faced the camera sideways as she leaned in her head towards him. Saint slightly turned Sanai so her face could still be slightly seen. They all gave their best smile on the count of three.
Saint wanted this picture hanging in his home, it was a beautiful family portrait.
To the public eye they appeared to be a perfectly fine family, but behind closed doors the story was different. That's why idealizing a celebrity's life wasn't as it seemed.
