Baby I Loved You First- Leonetta

Epilogue:

/Violetta/

Their movie was completed a week later. Half a year since then, it has made its debut and within the first week, it was a box office hit. Sales were through the roof, all wanting to see the love blossom between the characters Leon and Violetta had played. What made it more popular was the fact that they arrived at the red carpet together, officially announcing that they were a couple. Everyone was thrilled to hear that they were together.

Violetta is getting her hair done for the awards show that she will be present at in a few hours. The movie is up for an award and she couldn't be more proud of the accomplishment. Even being nominated is fantastic.

Leon walks into the room a moment later, already dressed and ready to go. He crosses the room, leaning down to kiss Violetta.

"You do realize that if you want to make it on time, you should already be ready." Violetta playfully sticks her tongue out at him, squirming when Leon pokes her check.

"You are terrible." Violetta mumbles, her stylist laughing at their spirited banter.

"Twenty minutes Vilu or else we'll be late."

"Yeah, yeah." Her stylist hurriedly finished off her hair, while another one walked into the room with her dress for the night. She smiled as she took it in her hands, absolutely loving the style. It had a sweetheart neck line, the color a very deep maroon. She had her stylist zip it up and lucky for her she still had a minute to spare.

"You finally d..." Leon trails off when he actually looks at Violetta standing in front of him. She blushes as she twirls asking for his opinion on the dress. "Beautiful." He takes her hand in his, twirling her around again and pulling her into his chest. "As always." He leans down to capture her lip in a kiss, lasting longer than a minute.

"We're going to be late." Violetta teases, but Leon just shakes his head.

"I don't care." He captures her lips in a longer kiss, pulling her so close that no space rest between their bodies. She loves these moments, when they're tangled in each other, her hands clutching him close to her and thinking that no matter what, he loves her. He loves her as deeply as she loves him.

After their prolonged kiss, they finally head out, sitting right next to each other in the limo as they drive to the venue. Violetta still can't believe how easy it was to fall in to step with Leon again. It only took a few days to return to their routine. It was like they never left each other.

Leon still makes her feel like the possibilities are infinite, the world a vast space for opportunity. In the weeks leading to the award show, she's had many offers to star in more movies, but at the moment she's declined. Too much time has gone by without Leon and she plans to make up for it right now. Who knows in a few years she might go back into the business, but for now, she wants to remain close to her boyfriend.

The limo pulls up to the curb, the chauffeur opening the door for them. Flashes blind them as they hit the red carpet, paparazzi shouting questions a mile a minute. Violetta and Leon don't pay most of them any mind, smiling and posing for a few until they finally enter the building.

Leon sees Francesca and Marco along with some of their other friends, so he guides Violetta over to them.

"Hey guys." Francesca welcomes, hugging the pair and kissing Vilu on the cheek. "Can you believe you guys might win an award tonight?"

"Not really. It's still crazy to think about his time last year we were barely being cast in the role." A year, it's been a year since they first reencounter. So much has happened in that year and Leon still thinks it's wild how it all went down. Vilu went from dating Tomas to being single to hitting the dating scene, standing right next to him. Though he feels bad for Tomas, he's really happy that he was the one who ended up with Violetta.

"What about you Violette? Do you think you guys will win?" Violetta shrugs, her shoulders nudging Leon's arm since he has it wrapped around her.

"Well, we should get to our seat. It's going to start soon." Marco suggests. Everyone nods along as they head into the main area, searching for their seats. Andres calls to the group when he finds the place cards, the group jumbled about as they try to sit where they are supposed to. Leon and Violetta sit next to each other again, holding hands and watching as the host steps on to the stage.

"Welcome everyone to the 2016 Academy Awards!"

An hour and a half went by and it's come down to the moment Leon and Violetta have been waiting for; Best Picture. The crowd hushes as the announcers for award reveal the nominees.

"And the winner is... "Baby I Loved You First!" Their group is the first to cheer, the screams rising in volume when everyone is calling their names as Violetta, Leon, the director, and the rest of the crew make their way onto the stage.

"This is such an honor." The director says into the mic, the crowd lowly clapping as he continues. "It's been an experience working with these two, but I'm so glad it all worked out in the end. Anyone else have anything to say." The producer speaks next and Leon considers saying something, though he's not sure what.

When the producer finishes, Leon takes the mic, firstly thanking the crew and the writers for such a wonderful story line. Then he's left with silence. He casts a glance at Violetta and the words just tumble out. "I've been in love with Violetta for years and though there was a time we weren't together, I loved her, more than ever. I am so happy this movie came around and that they chose us as the lead actors. I got to meet the love of my life all over again and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I love you Vilu." He can hear the crowd cooing in the background and it all seems a blur as they exit the stage.

He gathers Violetta in his arms once they're behind the scenes, mumbling about love and affection.

He's got plans, big plans and the first one will be executed tonight, the small box in his coat pocket willing him to do it as soon as possible. He loved Violetta first and now he will love her forever and always.
