*Zac*
The door is opened and I slide out to the hustle, bustle and sound of the red carpet, holding out my hand to help Lumi out. She looks absolutely radiant and I feel she looks more like a star than I will ever do, which doesn't bother me the slightest.

"This is amazing Zac". She looks around, beaming with happiness.

"You are amazing darling, all eyes will be on you". I tell her softly. "I know mine definitely will be". I lean in closer, whispering in her ear, even if it is not necessary. "And later my hands".

She smiles lovingly at me, a smile that never fails to lift my spirits and make me all giddy. "You are the star today darling, come on let's go shine".

I take her hand and we start the walk down the red carpet. "Let's find Meri and Tom, I am pretty sure I saw Tom's mane up ahead".

"Don't tease him Zac". She giggles softly as she pulls me with her.

A couple of seconds later Meri shows up, hugging us both. "Hi, Tom is just saying hi to his fans".

"You should go do the same Zac, they are calling for you". Lumi says softly, placing a hand on my arm.

"Are you sure it's okay baby ? I don't want to just leave you". I want to make sure things don't get too much for her.

She gives me a quick hug and a small kiss. "I am fine Zac and I have Meri right here. Go do Your job".

"Okay then". I give her a kiss on the cheek and hurry over to the fans and Tom.

I must admit that I kind of enjoy interacting with my fans again. I haven't done much of it lately with everything that has been going on with Lumi.

And it's a joy how many of them tell me they are happy to see me and Lumi together, wishing us happiness and telling me how beautiful she is.

Tom is enjoying himself too, laughing and making fun, talking to each person seeking his attention. He always had a hard time having to turn anyone away.

"Come on Tom, we better get back to our girls, or we will end up late for the movie". I tap his shoulder and he reluctantly follow me.

Meri and Lumi are standing together, talking with some woman in a very smart pantsuit. Tom bite his lip. "You know what Zac, we did damn good didn't we".

"Oh believe me we did, let's just hope they never realise that they can do much better than us two knuckleheads". I say chuckling.

"At least you never fucked up, Lumi trusts you in every aspect". Tom sighs.

I shake my head. "Tom, Meri forgave you a long time ago and she took you back. Yeah you had a problem, but you got help.. and you are stronger for it".

"You are right". He smiles softly looking at her. "It's just.. I still feel so bad about it. If I hadn't been a jerk and she hadn't broken up, maybe she wouldn't have had to go through everything with that.. with Daniel".

"Tom you can't think like that, you'll end up driving yourself crazy". I shake my head. "And you don't know, maybe you are right, maybe it would have been worse, we will never know".

He nods. "Yeah you are right,  I should just be grateful I still have her".

"Come on, let's go see who that is, talking to our girls". I say and we walk over to where Meri and Lumi are talking to the woman.

*Meri*
"Hi darling". Tom slides his arm around me, and I lean slightly into him, he always makes me feel safe. "Hi Lumi, you look absolutely stunning".

"Hi Tom and thanks, you don't look too shabby yourself". My sister says, winking at him.

Zac steps up to Lumi, sliding his arms around her from behind. "So, what are you talking about ?"

"Well Mussu, this is Tara Benson, she works for 'good morning London' and she wants me on the show". Lumi leans back against him, placing her hands on top of his.

The woman nods. "Lumi is such an interesting and captivating person and she has been through so much. Our viewers would love to hear her story".

"I can only agree with that". Zac says as he softly kisses Lumi's shoulder. "You should definitely do that baby".

"I said the same". I tell him. I love how supportive Zac always is of my sister.. he would never hold her back or deny her anything.

Tara hands Lumi a business card. "Here is my card, call me monday and we'll set up a meeting".

"I definitely will". Lumi says, taking the card and slipping it into her purse.

"Enjoy the movie everyone, I am crossing my fingers for great reviews Zac". Tara smiles at him, then she looks at me. "And Meri, if you change your mind, you sister has my number".

We all look after her as she walks away and Tom asks. "What was that about ?"

"She just wanted me to do an interview, about what happened and how it is dating you and such". I had told her I wasn't interested, I am not much for the attention, and I do not want to risk that anything is twisted or misunderstood to reflect badly on Tom.

"It would be okay with me if you did it.. but you definitely don't have to if you don't feel comfortable". Tom says softly.

Zac looks around. "We better get a move on guys, the movie starts soon".

"I can't wait to watch you in that skin tight suit". Lumi tells him with a giggle.

"Oh gross, don't ruin the movie for the rest of us". Tom groans slightly, making the rest of us laugh.

Lumi just giggles. "Oh come on Tom both me and you know how good his ass will look in red spandex".

"Come on baby, before you make Tom cry". Zac takes her arm, leading her inside.

Tom takes my arm. "Nice, now all I will be able to focus on is Zac's ass in red spandex.. Thank you Lumi".

I can't help giggling. "Well it's not a bad ass to focus on.. but nothing beats your ass in tight leather".

"Well I prefer your ass in.. well preferably in nothing but my bed". He says, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Thomas you cheeky scoundrel, behave". I slap his arm, making him chuckle as he leads me inside the cinema.
