Hired (Richard Camacho Fanfic)

J U L I E T T E

Paparazzi turned their flashing cameras my way, and all the fans cheered when I stepped out. Mr. Diamante held out his arm for me to take and I did. He walked me down the long walk of the red carpet and I focused mainly on the fans as I walked down. Little girls jumped at the sight of me, and I showed my gratitude with a big smile and wave. The other girls screamed and held up their Richard posters so I could see them and clapped, while a few gave me glares. I assumed those were the hard core Richard girls, and I understood. Every girl has that possessive relationship with their idol.

"Big smile and lots of confidence, my girl." Mr. Diamante whispers trough a smile, and I nod as Richard steps forward and Mr. Diamante placed my small hand on his larger one. Richard looked like a million dollars— he wore an all black expensive Versace suit, his hair was neatly styled, and his smile was big and pearly white. My stomach did tiny flips and I assumed it was because I had never seen Richard smile before.

"Esta es mi novia Juliette Castellano," Richard speaks into the microphone of the interviewer and the fans in the crowd. I saw some people with cameras writing down word by word what Richard had said. They were probably dying for more information to sell magazines.

"Hola, Juliette! Me imagino que debes de estar muy emocionada por estar aquí en público con Richard por primera vez!"

"Si, estoy muy feliz de estar aquí con los chicos y compartir esta gran noche con ellos," I shoot a smile in the direction of the band members I have yet to meet. One that definetly caught my eye was a green eyed boy who looked like those handsome Cuban actors in the novelas. He shot a small wink my way and I pretended to look at Richard so I wouldn't blush.

Richard surprised me with a kiss on my head. "Nosotros no pudiéramos estar más feliz esta noche— tenemos el apoyo de nuestros fans, estamos lanzando un nuevo álbum, y más que nada, está aquí para apoyarme mi novia." I smiled big at the camera when he said that to show how happy I was- or am supposed to be.

"Estamos muy felices por ustedes CNCO! Y también por ti, Richard. Es una hermosa chica, no la dejes ir!" The interviewer bid us a goodbye after that and we all waved goodbye at the fans and cameras. Richard held my hand as we were guided behind some curtain set up. The area we stepped in was dark and lit with neon lights. A big picture of CNCO's new album cover was in the middle of the room. There was a bar, and a DJ table. People had already arrived, and I had to follow the boys to introduce myself and greet people. Surprisingly, Richard held my hand the entire time... Not that I was complaining, I'd probably get lost without his guidance.

"I'm sorry!" I quickly apologized as I bumped into someone. My eyes looked up from the floor and into the eyes of BECKY freaking G y'all.

"Hi! You must be Juliette!" She smiled sweetly and embraced me. She smelled like unicorns and rainbow and expensive stuff.

"And you're Becky G! Omg, I'm such a big fan! I have been listening to you for years." I tell her after we part. "Could I take a picture?" She nodded and whipped out her phone. Becky G took a picture with me on her iPhone!!

We did kissy faces poses and she promised to send me the picture and tag me in it so fans would get to know me.

"Richard, como estás, hermano?" She game him a hug. I didn't know CNCO was such good friends with Becky. How come I hadn't heard of them before now? Well, whatever, I'm not complaining.

Richards hand left mine and a small smile appeared on my face when he laced our hands together again. I really wasn't going to get lost now...

"Me la tratas bien, eh!? Nos vemos luego, lindura." Becky bids her goodbye to us and we keep walking along. I feel a tug at my arm and Richard nods in the direction of RICKY freaking MARTIN.

"Ricky!" Richard hollers as we approach. "Esta es-"

"Juliette," he finishes as he flashes a sexy ass smile. Man, I know I'm not the only one that finds his fine ass attractive. Millions of girls been wishing he wasn't gay...

"Encantada, Señor Martín. Soy una gran fan!" I shake his hand and he laughs a little when I tell him I'm a fan.

"Nada de señor, Juliette. Tu ya eres parte de esta familia, me puedes llamar Ricky como todos." He informs, and for the first time since I've been here I feel like I belong.

"¿Si es familia significa que no puedo coquetearle cuando termine con Richard?" I turn to see the green eyed boy again. He smiles down at me, and Richard pulls me to him.

"Erick, Erick, Erick. De coqueto como siempre, eh?" Ricky laughs. He tells me to not take it personal and I shake my head and give a smile. I have a lot of boy cousins so I know how this goes. Erick gave me pretty boy vibes, but never fuckboy ones. I guess he's a lot like Richard but deep down I hoped not.

Richard excused us and I followed him to greet a couple of people. Among one of which was his brother, Yashua. I recognized him from pictures in Richard's room.

"Dude, she's hot!" Yashua yells to Richard over the music and I couldn't help but blush. I'm not used to receiving compliments, and I'd have to stop blushing soon. I have to act confident and stop being so shy.

"Thank you, I'm Juliette." I extend my hand.

"¿ Y eso?" He laughs as he looks down at my hand. "Tu ere' familia, bájame esa mano." I lower my hand and we hug. I can't believe this friendly boy is Richard's brother or that they are even related considering how closed off and odioso Richard is.

"No deje que el té asuste, he'll come around." Yashua whispers into my ear as he pulls away. I nod and he shoots me a wink before Richard takes me away.

"Richard?" I say a few steps behind him. He turns and looks down at my hand coldly. I extend my hand a little more so he can take it. "I don't want to get lost, this is a big place, you know?"

Richard rolls his eyes.

Before he turned I saw a small grin and seconds later I felt his fingers fill the missing gaps in mine.
