Twenty-Three

The driver opened the door and Spencer stepped out, offering his hand to me. I stepped out onto the famous red carpet and followed Spence towards the flashing lights of the cameras. He laced his fingers through mine and squeezed my hand tight. My stomach was in my throat, and if it wasn’t for my empty stomach, I’m sure I’d puke everywhere.

We walked up to the barricade so Spencer could talk to reporters. Everything from that point forward was a blur. They asked him the same questions over and over. While he was being interviewed, I would watch him intently. This was a different Spencer than I was used to. He is usually very private when it came to his celebrity side, but tonight he really was turning on the charm. I smiled brightly at him, admiring this side of him. If he could put himself out here when it’s out of his comfort zone, then I could too. I wasn’t spoken to at all, thankfully. I stepped out of the way when photographers asked for pictures, making me feel better about this situation. He was speaking to the last reporter when the nosey lady asked who I was.

Spencer smiled and put his arm around my waist. “This is Kelsey Franklin, she is my assistant and very special friend.”

My cheeks flushed, thankful that he didn’t say girlfriend. We hadn’t put any official titles on our relationship yet, and I was really okay with that.

The reporter’s lips twisted in curiosity. “Special friend, huh? So is it safe to report that this is the first woman to catch your eye after the divorce?”

Spencer and I both laughed out of discomfort. I pinched his side and he looked at me. “I’m not here tonight to talk about my love life; I’m here for the benefit of the children. Thank you for your time.”

He led me inside away from the cameras and pulled me close to him. “You did wonderful. I’m in awe of you.” He kissed my cheek and leaned down to my ear. “It was so hard not to scream to the fucking world that you’re my girl.”

I giggled and pushed him away. “Who said I’m your girl?”

He took my coat and leaned in close. “Me. Don’t forget that.” He lightly kissed the side of my mouth and took our coats to be checked. I know he’s trying to be all gentlemanly, but with the way he looks tonight, I seriously wish he would just kiss me on the lips!

We stood around and mingled with other people in a large reception area for about twenty minutes. I spotted Collin and Jessica walk in, and Collin didn’t look happy at all. Once he spotted us, he made his way over and smiled brightly.

“Hey guys, time to eat yet? I’m starving.” He said, grabbing his stomach. I laughed, only to receive a dirty look from Jessica.

“Wow…you clean up nice.” Jessica snarled. I looked away, ignoring her jab. Collin scowled and quickly leaned down to her ear.
