Once In A Lifetime.

Damie: Once In A Lifetime - Chapter Two.

After I run out of tears to shed, I drag myself out of bed and decide on taking a shower. I feel calmer but my eyes are puffy. When I look at the clock, I see I only have 1.5 hour left before the premiere starts.
"Shit." There's a knock on the door and I run towards it, then unlock it.
"Dakota, I've been trying to call you for over an hour. We need to hurry up!" Pati points out to me. Behind her are Kate and Mark.
"I'm really sorry, I forgot the time." I'm so embarassed. I'm never late.
"Well, we need to hurry up now! The car is leaving in an hour."
"Ok." I decide on keeping quiet and following their every move. They sit me down in one of the chairs and start their tasks.
When they're finished, I get to look in the long floor to ceiling mirror.
After shrugging on my coat and grabbing my purse, Robin walks in telling me it's time to go.
I like premieres but they bring a lot of stress before it has even begun.
"Ok. I'm ready." I smile.

We're waiting for Jamie on the ground floor. The man is always late. Outside, I see two cars waiting to drive us, so I assume I won't be seated next to him.
I feel a bit of dissapointment. Soon, my feelings are replaced for happiness when I spot him practically running towards where we're waiting.
I can't help but laugh. He looks serious but when he spots me, I see his eyes soften.
"You look absolutely breathtaking."
I blush and thank him. "You don't look bad yourself."
I adjust his tie and when I'm finished, I start walking towards the entrance of the building where the cars are waiting for us. My assumption becomes reality when we are both seated in a different car. I glance over at Jamie and he is not happy about it. With a little help from Emily holding my dress, I step into the car.
I'm offered a bottle of water and take it with a quiet 'thank you.'

The ride is short and I'm grateful for it. When I try to step out of the car, Jamie takes me by surprise holding my dress. "Thank you." I look up at him.
"I don't want you to fall over." I can't believe this man makes me laugh this much.
As soon as I'm out, I shrug off my jacket and I can hear Jamie's intake of breath. When I look at him, he's looking me all over and moans inwardly.
He leans in and whispers "I know I won't be able to stop looking at you tonight." I feel his lips on my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.
"I feel honored. Don't forget to look at the fans and take pictures with them, ok? They're here for you."
"For us." He betters me.
"For us." I smile, liking the fact he used the word us.
"You go first, Dakota. I'll see you in a minute." He says as I start walking towards the carpet.
"Alright."

The moment I appear, I see the flashlights go off like maniacs. I'm glad I'm used to it now. I take a few positions for them, then walk a few steps ahead. This time I take on other positions and that's when I see Jamie behind me. Clearly he meant what he said, because he isn't looking at the cameras but at me.
I laugh, seeing the camera people trying to get his attention. He finally turns around and I continue
My walk towards more cameras. I'm finally surrounded by the fans. This I love, because without them, I would've never achieved all this. I take various pictures and sign a lot of posters and books. I'm really enjoying this. After about 15 minutes of walking to fans and taking pictures with them and signing autographs, Jamie and I get to decide which fans are allowed in the theater. I hate to choose, because I wished they could all come in. I hand them out to random fans as does Jamie and their happiness is a joy to witness. We are invited by some reporters and we both give seperate small 'interviews'. I see all my other co-stars; Rita Ora, Eloise Mumford, Eric Johnson, Victor Rasuk, but I only have eyes for Jamie. I also spot Erika and James Foley and Robin gestures me to pose in front of the decor with them. I walk towards them and notice Jamie is walking behind me. After the pictures, we get into the theater. The fans are already waiting for us.
We all take turns in holding a small speech, while Jamie and I spend most of the time looking at each other.
