The buzz and screams can already be heard from the car, Chris opens the door and I get out, holding out my hand to her. As soon as she gets out of the car, the crowd goes crazy. And the paparazzi flashes don't stop for a second.
She takes my hand as we walk on the red carpet, we hug for a few shots, and I kiss her. We enter the building as the guards block the entrance.
They show us the ballroom, while the waiters wander around the various tables serving aperitifs and champagne. We stopped to chat with some bigs from the industry; many of them came to greet Angel. I observe the guests, many well-known faces, and others I don't know, but she is the center of the event. She introduces me to everyone, and their reactions are absolute amazement. Apparently she never took her ex-boyfriend to one of these events and I'm happy with that.
We head toward the hall when two guards greet her and open the door.
"Angel!" Someone calls her and she stiffens.
"You look fabulous as always, how are you baby?"
Baby?
"I'm fine, if you would excuse us, we have to find our seats."
"Sure," he says, staring at me.
We enter the huge room, finding our seats. The stage is great, and I notice the guys are here.
"You made it, I thought you ran away," Faith says.
"What are you doing here?" I ask, looking at them.
"She didn't tell you, did she?"
"Tell what?" I ask Angel.
"You will open and finish the event, let's say it will be your first official appearance."
"Are you kidding?"
"Absolutely not. It's a golden opportunity!" she says as she walks backstage. "Come with me."
"Angel, my savior!" says a man who comes to meet us hugging her.
"Antoine, this is DarkHeaven, the group I was telling you about."
"Great! The stage is yours, guys."
"Thank you, sir."
I pull her aside. "We're not ready for such a big event, Angel!"
"You are fantastic, you've worked all your life to be here, and I trust you. Don't freak out, babe!" She says, I kiss her and follow the guys while I see her talking to Antoine.
"Oh my God, Matthew, did you know that?" Faith asks me as she looks around.
"No, I didn't know anything about it ..." I reply while I look at her.
"Oh my God, that's it, we've always dreamed of something like this. It seems impossible to me that we're here."
"I know Faith, but we're ready, we always have been, let's show them who DarkHeaven are!"
The boys nod as the staff tell us to go get some makeup.
