Hired (Richard Camacho Fanfic)

Part 23|| meet & greet

J U L I E T T E

"You ready?" Richard clasps my hand in his, giving me a small squeeze. I nod happily, ready to interact with the fans for the first time. The black curtains were pulled back, and we are thrown into a room filled with screaming girls and bright lights. Me and the boys are recorded left and right as we make our way through the center, over to the table.

The flashes hurt my eyes, but I had to keep myself from squinting for the sake of the pictures. I smiled in all directions, then Richard let go of my hand to swing his arm around me casually as we posed for a couple of videos and pictures. The security staff lined the girls up because things started to get hectic, and that's when I decided to go up to them as they wait to meet the boys.

"Hey, everyone!" I waved shyly, and the girls turned to me, screaming and squealing. A security guard came behind me just in case.

"Juliette's can we please take a picture with you!?" Little girls surrounded me and I squatted down to their level and posed for a couple of pictures. Other girls immediately followed, giving up their space in line to take pictures with me and have me sign their fan merch and phone cases.

"We love you so much! When we heard you were coming with them we immediately drove down here!" A teen girl wearing R+J t-shirt and her matching friends approached me. "We had these made too, and we hope you like them!"

"Awe, those are so cute!" I exclaimed, examine the shirts up close and seeing that the picture was of a snap Richard and I took at the picnic date. He held up the phone and I leaned my head on his shoulder and smiled in its direction. "That's my favorite picture of us too!"

"You guys are everything. I hope you guys are together forever and ever."

"Yes, please!" They squealed and we posed for a picture (which the security guard took) then I posted them on snapchat and followed the girls back on Instagram and Twitter.

"What is your favorite thing about Richard?" I couldn't keep myself from blushing when a young fan asked this. The girls recorded me and cooed when my face turned tomato red.

"Um, I'm pretty sure it's his smile." I answer, feeling all mushy inside. "It just...it gets me every time." I sigh and bring my hand to my chest, try my best to not blush anymore.

"I'm glad he found you, because I know you truly love him and aren't with him for his looks or money," one half smiles, and I could really tell she loves Richard. He's the least liked in the group for whatever reason, but the fans he still has truly want the best for him. A couple of other girls nodded agreeing with her statement.

"Hopefully he can go back to the old Richard," a little girl pouted, leaning her head on her older sister.

"Listen," I look at every one of them. "You girls are so amazing, and he loves every single one of you so much. Believe it or not, it's crazy the love these guys have for you girls. Richard is complicated, but he has a good heart, and sometimes under pressure people do things out of character. That does not mean he loves you any less. He's trying hard to be a good role model for all of you, and it really hurts him to know he has let you guys down before. Just remember that Richard will always be the same guy you guys fell in love with."

A couple of them shed tears as they nodded, and some of them just attacked me with a hug. I could tell these words really meant a lot to them and I was happy to do something to make the fans happy.

"Awe look, it's all my favorite girls." Richard smirks as he walks over to us and is engulfed in the hug. He looks shocked at first, like he really didn't expect these girls to be this affectionate, but when he looked at me he knew it had something to do with me saying something in his defense.

He mouthed a 'thank you' and kissed my forehead.

"They're awesome. I can see why you love them so much," Juliette tells me as we sit on the kitchen island, eating some Italian food and just talking.

"Just wait until we get to touring, and we get to meet all the other fans." She looks up at me and beams.

"Gee, I can't wait until we go to Europe! I forever have been wanting to go to Paris," I wasn't surprised she wanted to go there, all girls love it there. A few of my cousins have traveled with me and they have begged me to take them next time too.

"We'll go soon, princess. I promise," I inserted a spoonful of food in her mouth and she smiled really big. "Do you think you would ever stay?"

Juliette's face turned serious, and she set her own plate aside. I felt hot and wondered if I should have said anything at all.

"I don't know. Maybe." She shrugs, and goes back to eating her food. "So you want me to consider it?"

"Of course I do. Our lives are so much better now,"

"Who knows maybe I will stay, but let's see how things go first." I gave her a half smile, hoping that within the next 10 months I can win her over completely. I want to love her to the point where she looks back at this moment and thinks of how could she possibly say she will maybe stay.

"What?" She chuckles, nudging me with her foot.

"Just thinking about wining you over so you won't ever leave me." I stand up and peck her lips softly. I feel myself falling more and more in love with this girl, and to think that I considered her an ordinary girl before. Who would've thought?
