Built On Trust

Busy people

I'm going to skip the New York part, just so I can try my best to keep the story from draggingout too long. I'll have them talk about it a little in this part.

"Brad we have to be at my premier in a little over an hour! What the hell are you doing sitting on the couch when you aren't ready?!" I yell at him from top of the banister as I try to zipper up my dress "At least come help me get this on!"

He finally comes up after a few minutes helping me zipper up my dress then getting himself ready "I'm a man, it only takes me like 10 minutes to get ready."

I look over and see him basically all dressed but notice something missing so I hand him is socks "Maybe you should put these on before your shoes?"

"Did I piss you off earlier? You're acting really weird." He takes off his shoes then puts the socks on and walks towards the door "I can't read your mind, you have to tell me if I did."

"You did. I told you how many times about this? The least you could do is act like you care about it. I heard you complaining about having to go earlier." I walk downstairs and get in the car that is waiting for us "I'm not stupid, I know you don't want to go."

He gets in the car, sitting on the other side, being careful "I was talking to George, he forgot about tonight and wanted us to go out with him. I didn't want him to think I didn't want to be with him so I said that. Of course I want to be here for you."

I think for a minute, pausing before I say something I know I'll regret "So, you'd rather have me feel like you don't care than explain to him that you already had plans to go to your wife's premier?" I lay my head against the window, waiting for him to finally say something,

He finally moves a little closer to me, reaching for my hand and speaks up "I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't mean for it to get like this, I didn't want you to think this, and I really can't wait to see the movie."

"Next time just tel him, or tell me after you've told him that." I slowly turn so I'm facing him and I get closer, leaning on him "It means a lot that you come to support me, I just don't want you to feel like you don't have a choice."

"I wouldn't mind. You're always supporting me, I love going places and supporting you." He slowly leans in and kisses me "I love you."

"I love you, too." I say as we pull up to the premier. Brad gets out first, to block some of the paparazzi and I follow him. I stand alone and get few pictures while he does the same, then we get a few together. He tells me good luck and kisses me, leaving me with my costars, while he goes in to sit a while. The whole cast gets a group picture together, then we split into smaller groups of two or three, until we all seperate doing different interviews. I walk over to one of them as she starts to ask me questions.

"Do you miss New York? It looked like you and Brad were very happy when you were there recently."

"I do sometimes, now that my mom and I are closer I miss seeing her as much."

"How was it working on this movie? Do you think it really is like The Graduate?"

"It definitely has the same idea, and is based off of it, but there are lots of different parts in it."

"I can't wait to see it."

I walk over to another interviewer who asks me basically the same questions, then some different.

"Are you and Brad ready for the baby?"

"We're getting there. We have a little more than three months yet, but we're really starting to get excited."

"Do you have a name picked out yet?"

"We do, we aren't telling it though, not even family knows as of now."

"Was there soemthing special that made you sign on to do this movie?"

"I just really liked the script, and when I found out who else was in it that made it even better."

Another reporter walks up to me and starts asking questions "How was it working with this cast?"

"Awesome, I loved it. I had a lot of fun."

"Do you have a favorite scene? Was there one you really enjoyed filming?"

"I have a lot I really liked, there is one with Mark and I towards the end that I really liked."

I go and find Brad, then sit next to him, waiting for the movie to start. He tells me about people congratulating him after he left earlier, and about a few interviews he's done. We sit quet once the movie actually starts, whispering things about the movie to each other occasionally. He keeps telling me how proud of me he is, and how much he likes it. It gets to the scene close to the end when Sarah goes to her grandma, telling her what she did. I lean over towards Brad "I promise you, nothing like that has ever really happened in my family, that I know of, at least."

"Well, you better not start anything then." He laughs quietly, then starts looking back at the screen "Don't sleep with any of the men your mom slept with." He stays with his eyes glued to the screen until the end when he looks over at me "I loved it!"

I stand up next to him leaning against him "Thank you, I was really hoping you would like it."

Shirley walks up to us a few minutes later once everyone else starts to leave and hugs me "I didn't get a chance to tell you earlier, but you look really beautiful, and congratulations to both of you on the baby!"

"Thank you." I smile, hugging her back "We're both really excited."

Brad thanks her as well, then pulls me cloer, laying his arm on my shoulder "You were both great in the movie, I really liked it!"

"It was a lot of fun to make. You're a very lucky guy." She pauses and looks at me "You have her. She was always so nice to everyone on set."

We talk to a few of the other cast members about basically the same things then decide to go out with George for a little anyway. I can't drink, but he's at a restaurant bar, so we just get a table and eat anyway.

"So, how was the premier?" George asks "I saw some pictures of you guys right away online."

Brad starts to tell him about the movie "It was really good, everyone fit their role good, too. Shirley was hysterical at times." He holds my hand under the table "I really liked the ending, and it was nice to see everyone at the premier so happy for us."

"That's because everyone knows how perfect you guys are going to be as parents." George says it like he's pointing out the obvious "I can't wait to meet her."

I relax my hand so it laying on my stomach and I can feel her kicking "She's so lucky to have all these people that love her."
