Married to The Fame

Chapter 24

Nicole's POV:

I made small talk with the driver while Carina was packing up for her trip. She had this big gala night she had to go to in Miami.

I can still see Diane's expression when I told her where I was going. I thought she was about to murder me. Luckily, the only thing I had coming was angry sex.

Carina came out of the hotel with her luggage and I immediately jumped to help her.

"Well aren't you a sweetheart?"

"Don't call me that." I said sternly and put the bag in the back of the limo.

"Why?" I raised an eyebrow and when she put the pieces together, her mouth formed an 'o' shape. Then she chuckled a bit.

Carina entered the limo first. I jumped in after her. She looked through her bag and then handed me a big envelope.

"What is this?" I really didn't know what it could be.

"I think it's time for you to go."

"You're firing me?"

It took me by surprise. I opened the envelope and there was a contract containing two pages. I wasn't going to read it right away so I put it on my seat beside me.

"Yes. You're way over six months with me and as much as I love how you do your job, you need to go."

It immediately clicked.

"Your girlfriend is jealous, isn't she?" She looked at the floor.

"No..."

I laughed my ass out.

"Tell Jennifer it's okay. I don't want to endanger her."

It does make me feel good that such a beautiful woman is jealous of me, but I'm really okay with it. I think Diane would do the same thing if she was in Carina's shoes.

We entered the big hall where the gala was being held. I could see how nervous Carina is.

"It's gonna be okay." I reassured her by patting her back gently.

Tonight she will grab her girlfriend's hand in front of the cameras and all the other celebrities. I'm guessing Jennifer was nervous too, since she is also a celebrity and these news will be all over the tabloids tomorrow.

I stood by the door, looking closely at Carina as she walked away. Jennifer and her met at the middle of the hall. They secretly brushed their hand and I found it very cute.

"Hey. Are you Nicole?" A dark haired woman approached me with a smile.

"Yes. And you are?" I took in her outfit that was very similar to mine. Black suit pants and jacket with a white shirt fit her well. I have to admit, she is good looking.

"My name is Lea. I'm Mrs. Crews' bodyguard. She told me you are Mrs. Rye's bodyguard."

"How cool! Nice to meet you. Is she excited about their announcement?"

"You can't even imagine, she is over the roof."

"I know, so is Carina. I'm really happy for them."

After a while of looking at the lovebirds, Lea spoke again.

"They are great together." She paused before turning to me again. "And how is your significant other?" Lea asked, pointing at my wedding ring.

I looked at the black and silver peace of jewelry around my finger and smiled immediately.

"Diane is the most amazing thing that ever happened to me." Lea also smiled. "What about you? Are you married?"

"Divorced. Son of a bitch tried to beat me. Only he didn't know I was stronger."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"He got what he deserved."

We continued standing there in silence, our hands crossed in front of us, looking at the two women as they walked through the crowd, holding hands.

When it started getting out of hand, we both ran and got them out of the annoying paparazzi that somehow got inside.

The four of us got into the same limo and the driver took us to Carina's hotel.

Later that night, when I was all settled in the room next to Carina's, someone knocked on my door.

I rushed to open it to find Lea standing there in a hoodie and jeans.

"Care for some company?" She asked as she got two ice creams behind her back.

"Sure. Come in."

Deep into night, after hours of talking and laughing, we heard a weird noice from Carina's room.

"Do you hear it?" Lea pointed towards the wall separating the rooms and looked at it.

"Yes." I already jumped to take my gun and rushed to the wall, getting my ear against it.

We both listened closely for a while. Lea and I finally realised what was going on and we both burst into laughter.

"We have ourselves some naughty bosses!"

A moan coming from Jennifer followed as she screamed Carina's name.

"Okay, this is wrong. I don't want to listen to this." I put my gun down and got back onto the bed.

Lea stood a bit longer against the wall and then she jumped on next to me.

"That's nasty." We laughed again and dug into our ice creams.
