Chapter 2 || I'm Here For You

"Take a deep breath Autumn. Everyone will love you," Blake grabs my hand giving it a squeeze of comfort.

"What if i fall or what if i..." Blake shuts me up by giving me a light kiss.

"Okay I'm okay now," i sigh and he responds with a wink. The car comes to a halt and the door is opened for us.

"Smile," he says and i instantly do. He steps out of the car and gives me a hand which i hold on to like my life depends on it. I'm instantly greeted by the blinding white lights of the camera, which are worse than my mum's, and the deafening screams of fans.

I look around taking in everything and smile brightly for the camera. Blake whispers in my ear as our pictures are being taken, "what do you think Vanilla?"

The paparazzi tells us to take a step to the right as I respond, "it's amazing. Thank you."

They then separate us for separate shots then we're lead to the interview stand. I take a step back but Blake puts his hand around my waist pulling me to his side.

"Don't leave my side," he states and I nod giving him a smile. Many interviews happen asking him about the movie, characters, and other typical questions until one of them asks about the both of us.

"So the popular CEO and the popular actor. You shocked Hollywood. Who would've thought you both know each other."

"Oh we go way back before Hollywood and NY." I nod in agreement.

"So will we be seeing more of you two together?"

"Certainly," Blake answers before I do. We quickly say goodbye and walk towards the fans who greet him with screams.

He grabs a sharpie and starts signing  autographs and taking pictures as I watch him proudly.

"Excuse me Miss Autumn, but may I have your autograph?" A girl asks and I smile.

"Sure, but may I ask why?" I take the pen from her.

"Because you're the known popular CEO. You're a woman and your killing stereotypes. You're really showing the world girl power," she states. I hug her and thank her then proceed to walk to Blake who's watching me, ignoring the fans wanting his attention.

I point at them and he gives me the I'm-asking-you-later look and turns his attention back to the fans.

||Hours Later||

"What a night!" I slump in my seat as the limo takes off.

"It was better cause you were here," he says. I look at my phone not knowing how to respond. What's wrong with me? The old Autumn would've hit him and laughed.

A few minutes later of awkward silence, Blake decides to hold my hand saying, "I know it's been a while and we're both confused with our feelings towards each other. It will take a while because ten years is a long time, but I want you to know one thing."

I look at him waiting for that one thing, and he adds, "I'm here for you. I will always be here for you and I'll never hurt you again like that."

I lie on his lap, looking up at him, as he plays with my hair. He bends down and his lips lightly touch my forehead as the car comes to a stop in front of my building.

Blake holds the door open for me and I step out. Looking at the entrance, I find paparazzi blocking the door. Blake must've noticed it because he pulls me back into the car, and then grabs his phone and makes a few calls as I roll my eyes.

I'm hungry. I'm tired. My feet are in pain. Nothing will stop me from reaching the comfort of my bed. Not even men with blinding cameras.

I step out of the car and ignore Blake's protests as I walk towards the entrance. The pap all turn to look at me pointing their oh so deadly devices at me.

"Move away from the entrance. If you don't listen you'll all be jobless by sunrise. I will let you get pictures of me if you want just let me pass."

They part like the sea for Moses and once I arrive safely at the door I turn to look at them. They snap a few pictures then head off.

Blake's jaw is on the ground so I shout, "close that pretty mouth of yours unless you want flies in their. Good night Blakeypoo."

I walk in to the elevator and arrive at my floor not a few moments later. I'm greeted by Winsor, "that was quite the show Miss Carson."

"Thank you Winsor," I wink and he shakes his head.

"How's your son?" I ask as I take of my heels. "He's doing great. I can't ever thank you enough for paying for his university."

"Your son is a wonderful person. He deserves the best and you too Winsor. You know what? Take the month off. You need to rest." I smile as he nods happily.

I ascend the stairs and arrive at my room. I first hop into the shower and change into comfy clothes.

Heading to the kitchen, I grab food then head back to my room. Grace and Alice both video call me.

"Hey Autumn," they both greet me.

"Hey guys, I found out something very interesting today. Guess who's the star of Lost Gun?"

"Uhhh Leonardo DiCaprio?" Grace responds.

"IM SO SORRY WE KEPT IT FROM YOU. I DIDNT WANT TO BUT HE WANTED BECAUSE HE WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU AND OKAYYYY," Alice spills everything out.

I laugh,"It's fine guys. Anyways Alice how's the baby?"

"Well nothing shows but it feels amazing that a new life is being created inside of you. Grace how's the wedding?"

"Forget about the wedding. YOU'RE PREGNANT. It's so ironic because you said that you'd never want to have kids and here you are," Grace says.

We continue chatting and catching up then end the call when Alice decides she's in the mood for a pineapple and heads off to get one.

I brush my teeth and place my phone on the table before I head to bed, but a message comes from Blake before I fall asleep.

Blake : Did I tell u that u were gorgeous today. P.S ur sexy as hell when ur sassy and angry. Good night 😉
