We Found Love

thirteen

"And we're back, here to talk to two of the hottest celebrities in the country!"

August was right, we were going to be in a talk show this week. And who else but Jolie Storm? Her talk show is the one that most of society listens to, so if you get to be on her show, you have guaranteed fame.

"We all know the show We Found Love and how there's a new season, and we hear that they spiced things up!" Jolie tells the audience. "So, to hear the latest on behind the scenes, please welcome Emery Merrill and August Gilmore!"

Cheers burst from the audience when we walk onstage, sitting right across from Jolie. I look out into the audience and find some fans holding signs that say, Marry me, August! Or I love you, Emery! There were even signs that said Aumery, which I assume to be our ship name.

Once the cheers died down, Jolie faces August and I. "How is the lovely couple?" She asks us.

August speaks. "We're doing great. Enjoying the married life so far." He smiles and gets a reaction out of his fans.

"Speaking of the married life, how's that going for you? Are there any habits that the two of you have to deal with?"

I take that question. "Well, I'm sure everyone knows since cameras are always filming, but August has a habit of placing his feet on the coffee table when we sit together. Now, usually, I'd be okay with it, but not so much if there's food on the table."

August scoffs and smiles. "Emery here has a habit of organizing. The trash has to be separate from the recycling, the dishes need to be in the right cabinet, it gets rough sometimes! Like, have a little mess in your life!"

Jolie laughs. "But, you two are handling it quite well from the looks of your episodes. Now, tell me," she leans forward. "Is there any chemistry off-camera?"

The audience claps and cheers, encouraging us to answer. I could feel my cheeks heat up and I turn to face August, who seemed to have on a strained smile.

I open my mouth to begin but August ends up speaking. "Jolie, we don't like to kiss and tell, cause that's the whole point of having a personal life." The audience groans in disappointment. "But, Emery over here seems to really like me. A bit too much, actually."

I blink, caught off guard as cheers erupt. Did August really just expose my feelings out to the world? At this point, my stomach was churning, suddenly feeling uncomfortable.

Jolie asks us a couple more questions about We Found Love, and soon it ends. August and I walk offstage while another celebrity is backstage getting ready for their segment on the show.

I quietly collect my things in the dressing room while August talks to the camera for We Found Love. "How do I feel? I feel great! I enjoyed seeing my fans being able to share our experiences with them."

I bite the inside of my cheek and exit the dressing room, walking past August and the camera crew. After the interview, we were supposed to head back home, because there was big news Jennie had to tell us.

I sit in the driver's seat and watch August walk towards the car and sit down next to me. "Hey," he notices my stoic expression. "You good?"

I press my lips together and firmly grip the steering wheel. "What was that all about?" I say, not turning on the ignition.

"What?" August asks me.

"'Emery over here seems to really like me.' Why the hell did you say that?"

August blinks, caught off guard. "Em, you know we have to say things like that in order for the show to be successful. So, I said that to please Gail." he explains.
