~ EVAN’S PREMIERE ~

When we got to the premiere, I posed for pictures and did some grueling interviews. I waved to Evan when I saw him but didn’t interrupt his interviews or autograph signing. We were working. I was endorsing his film and helping him build credibility. I saw that Manuel watched me the whole time and smiled at him often. My last interview turned emotional when I admitted that Evan dumping me hurt a ton and that finding out that he dated another girl while we were dating sucked. The statement was true, the feelings were real, and my eyes watered. I shared too much. Sage saved me and escorted me to the lobby.

“I love that you’re here with me.” I smiled and hugged Manuel in the lobby. I didn’t want to separate from him but we had to keep our distance. He smiled back.

“I love you so much, too, and am in shock that you’re my girlfriend. Ya know that you’re really hot, right? So don’t take this wrong, but you need to gain weight. You’re really tiny.”

“What?! I’m insulted. You don’t think I’m pretty?” I complained.

“Marie, you’re skin and bones with great boobs. You’ve become really thin since Christmas. Please gain some weight.”

“Well, your timing sucks. I’m wiped out from forgiving Evan for all the gossip sites.”

Evan was behind us and shook Manuel’s hand while I was recovering from the shock of Manuel telling me that I was too thin.

“Thanks for dressing up, Manny,” Evan joked. “So you two are finally a couple! It’s about time.” He laughed again and pulled me into a hug and we kissed a Hollywood hello. “I bowed out when I realized that I had no chance last summer. When Marie told me she loved you in December I knew it was all over.”

Manuel gave me a very appreciative, loving smile. “You told him you loved me?”

I smiled back. “Of course; I always try to tell the truth.” I hugged Evan again. “Evan, Manuel just told me that he thought I was skin and bones. I’m hurt.”

“Well, gorgeous, you’re too thin and should gain weight.” He teased, “You must have missed me desperately. Everything okay?”

I stared at them in disbelief. I always heard about how impossibly beautiful I was, never that I wasn’t. “The costuming for Constantine’s Muse was just so snug and heavy. I exercised constantly so I wouldn’t be so lonely. I guess I overdid it. I’ll put on some weight.” I changed the subject. “Evan, when did you date Beth?”

Evan held my hand and exhaled. “Last fall. I’m not a cheater but I was in town and saw her a few times when you were busy—as friends. She’s fantastic, but I felt stupid dating someone in high school—and you, my dear, are no high school senior. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, but you know how I feel about you. You don’t feel the same about me, and she’s so special.”

I shook my head and lowered my voice, not caring if Manuel could hear, “But I do love you, Evan.
