We had landed in Los Angeles last night and I was still feeling slightly jet lagged. It was only a 3 hour time difference. We had spent a lazy morning in bed before we had to get ready to go. Penny made me look gorgeous as always.

Tonight was my biggest night in my career. I was going to speak on live television about the work I was doing with Igor. We had made quite a few dresses and tuxes for this event. I was going with Harry and the lads, then going off on my own to find Igor, talk in the fashion circle and then sit through the show, also with Igor. I would then head off to the longue I had rented out for Harry’s birthday party. He thought we were going to an after Grammy party when it was really for him.

“Baby, you look so good.” Harry wrapped his arms around me from behind.

“Don’t crinkle my dress!” I slapped him away from me.

“It’s fine.” He rolled his eyes. “I can’t wait to show you off.”

“I’m only arriving with you, didn’t I tell you?” I said.

“What?” he raised an eyebrow.

“I told you this last night Harry.” I rolled my eyes.

“No, we never talked about this.” He took a step back.

“Okay well then this is what is happening…” I paused. “I’m going with you and the guys, I’m going to walk the carpet with you then I’m going to talk with Igor and I’m sitting with Igor for the show. Then after the show I’m meeting back up with you and going to the party and theennnn…” I grabbed the collar of his jacket. “We come home and have wild, crazy, sweet love all night long.”

“You aren’t sitting with me?” He eyed me down.

“Did you ask for another seat with you guys? No.” I rolled my eyes at him again. “Besides, I’m doing this for Igor and you know I’m trying branch out and start my own line! Come on Harry you know I’m trying to make it!”

“Whatever, the car is here.” He said, flatly heading towards the door.

“Harry.” I grabbed his hand pulling him back to me. “Babe, please don’t do this. I won’t be my best knowing you’re mad at me.”

“I’m not mad.” He said, avoiding eye contact.

“You aren’t even looking at me!” I felt my eyes beginning to well. I didn’t want to cry. I looked so pretty but he was being completely unreasonable about this.

“Don’t cry.” He said, finally looking at me. “I’m sorry.”

He pulled me into a huge hug. I rested my head onto his chest, trying desperately to blink the tears away. I don’t even know why he got mad. We were going and leaving together. I would be away from him for 3 hours. Why wouldn’t he be able to handle that? Especially when he knew this would boost my career greatly.

“It’s fine.” I said no emotion in my voice at all.

“No, it’s not. I was being selfish. I wanted to have you for myself all night. You just look so good. But I realize I was being unreasonable. You need to do this for you. I know that.” He kissed my forehead. “I will make it a few hours with the lads.”

“Thank you.” I sighed.

He cupped my face, bringing his lips to mine. I couldn’t help but smile into his kiss. I was happy he realized he was being unreasonable. I didn’t need a fight right now. He slinked his arm around my waist pulling in as tight as he could. My arms wrapped around his neck, never wanting this moment to end.

I cherished these little moments. Pretty soon Harry would be on tour and we wouldn’t be able to do things like this. I wouldn’t be able to walk past him in the house and have him cheekily slap my butt, or look up from a book I was reading and have him staring at me, or just lie in bed and kiss him endlessly. I sighed not even wanting to think about that. We had a couple months left before he would be off doing that.

We heard a knock on the door, separating us. Harry opened it to see Louis smirking back at him.

“Lad, we texted you 5 minutes ago.” Louis said, looking between the two of us. “We’re ready.”

“Alright, we’re coming.” Harry mumbled.

“By the way, red’s a nice shade on you.” Louis winked as he turned to walk down the hall.

“What does he mean red is a nice color on me?” Harry said.

“Babe, my lipstick smudged onto you.” I giggled, wiping his lips with the tips of my fingers.

“Great.” Harry rolled his eyes. “The guys won’t let me live it down.”

“Don’t worry about it.” I chuckled as I went over to fix my lipstick.

“We better go babe.”

I nodded, following him out of the room. He laced his fingers through mine as we waited for the elevator to reach the ground floor.

“You really are stunning, not just tonight but every night.” Harry placed a kiss onto my temple.

“Thanks.” I giggled; I never tired of Harry’s compliments. “You’re rather dashing yourself, sir.” I said in my best British accent.

“God, you’re so weird.” He mumbled as the elevator opened.

We made our way over to the other guys who were waiting in the lobby. There weren’t many people waiting around outside for us. We had chosen to stay somewhere a little less low key than usual, which I didn’t mind.

“Harry Styles.” Zayn said clapping his back. “How do you do it?”

“Do what?” Harry raised an eyebrow.

“Land the hottest girls on this planet, that’s what.” Zayn chuckled pulling me into a hug. “Beautiful darling.”

“Thank you.” I smiled. “You all look dapper.”

“I thought Emily and Rachel were supposed to be here?” Harry said.

“They are but they’re not going to the show, just the party.” Liam said.

“Ah makes sense.” Harry replied. “Should we get going?”

“Yes!”

-----------------------------------

“This is going to be just like the first premier we went on, except now people know who better than I do.” Harry chuckled as we exited the car at the venue.

“No one knows me better than you Harold.” I whispered into his ear.

“You’ll pay for that later.” He smirked giving my bum a squeeze before walking away.

I caught up to him as he laughed at something Liam was saying. A man in his late 40’s approached our group.

“Miss McMichael?” he questioned. I looked at Harry and then back at the man.

“Yes?” I answered, unsure of who he was. I looked down at the badge he was wearing; it said something about Igor Boris.

“Hi, I’m here with your management, to make sure you find your way to everywhere you need to be.” He extended his hand. “I’m Oliver.”

“Hi Oliver!” I smiled. I never had someone here for me, like the guys normally did. And since when did I have management? Maybe I should get a manager now.

“Now I have here on my sheet that you and Mr. Boris are scheduled to talk in the circle at 6 so we’ll make sure to have you over there by then. Also, we want you to walk with Mr. Styles and his band for a bit and then go out on your own. This is a huge stepping stone for you and we want to make sure it goes flawlessly. After a bit I’ll help you make your way over to the circle and then help you and Mr. Boris find your seats. Do you have any questions?”

“No, I think you covered it all.” I chuckled at how fast he was talking. Harry was trying to pay attention to both me, and whatever was being said to them.

“Alright great.” Oliver smiled. “Whenever you’re ready you can go out.”

I nodded and made my way back to Harry’s side just as they started to walk.

“I got to do the whole ‘walk with the band’ thing and then I can catch up to you, is that okay with whatever you had planned?” he asked.

“Yes! That’s perfectly fine.” I smiled. He placed a small kiss on my lips before heading off to catch up with the boys.

To say I wasn’t freaking out would be a complete lie. I was super calm on the outside but incredibly nervous on the inside. Tonight needed to go perfect. I really needed to get more exposure to my work and gain some credibility.

I took a large breathe in and started walking. Oliver hung back a little bit, as I noticed almost every star had their own Oliver. Someone has to make sure the show goes smoothly I guess. I knew this was all part of the pre-show for viewers on TV. Right now, someone was watching as I walked across the red carpet. I got to the first X, just after the boys had left it. I stopped and placed a hand on my hip. I made various faces, smiling and serious as the cameras flashed away in my face. It was a nerve-racking feeling. Everyone could see every move I was making, if I screwed up the world would know.

I moved forward from the first stop, smiling the entire way. I was slowly becoming less nervous the farther I got out into the walk. I don’t think I could have been happier than I was in this moment. My life was in a great place. I had a great job, a great man, and even better family.

Oliver came over to me as the next X popped up. “Mr. Styles is supposed to wait for you at the next stop. Then you can finish off with him and we’ll get you over to the circle where Mr. Boris already is.”

“Okay, sounds good.” I smiled, turning my attention back to the cameras and crowd. I was motioned forward, seeing a smiling Harry stopped waiting for me.

“And who do I owe thanks to for allowing me to walk with the most beautiful lady here tonight?” Harry whispered into my ear as we met up.

“Stop it.” I blushed, gently swatting his chest.

“I can’t help it. You’re perfect in that dress.” He said, licking his lips.

“It’d be more perfect to you if it was on the floor.” I wiggled my eyebrows.

“Now you stop it.” he said, placing his lips gently onto mine.

“I love you.” I smiled.

“No, I love you.” he said.

I leaned into his side, turning to fully face the cameras. We smiled for them, like were some perfect couple or something. We’d like to think we were but both knew we were far from it. To the public eye we looked like we had no worries in our relationship. Even though things had been going great lately, we still weren’t always at peace with ourselves. I shrugged that thought out of my mind as we moved down the carpet.

“This is wild. Who thought we’d be at the Grammys together a year ago when we were making out on my couch.” Harry chuckled.

“It hasn’t been a full year yet.” I rolled my eyes. “But not me, I’d never imagine I’d be here, let alone with you.”

“It’s been a fucked up year, I know that but the weird thing is I wouldn’t change it for the world.” Harry kissed my temple.

“Me either babe.” I smiled up at him. “I love you.”

“Love you more.” He returned my smile.

I grimaced as a lady with a microphone headed our direction. I knew I was about to talk to people but that was for my work, not my personal life. Harry laced his fingers through mine as she reached us.

“Hey you two!” she smiled. “I’m Jill Volt from E!”

“Hello I’m Harry Styles and this is my lovely girlfriend Spencer McMichael!” Harry responded cheerfully.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you both!” she smiled between the two of us. “So we want to see if we can grab a quick interview for the E! News red carpet special that’s airing live tonight as we speak.” She said.

“Yeah, that’s not a problem.” Harry nodded. He was always trying to please everyone. I don’t get him.

“Alright, Rick, are they ready?” she asked the cameraman. He nodded yes and Jill listened to something in the ear piece she had in. “Alright guys, it’s a go.”

Rick the cameraman pressed a button and Jill started talking. I put a smile on my face as I saw Harry look down at me. He was still holding my hand tightly.

“Hey guys, we’re back and I’m standing here on the red carpet with none other than Harry Styles and Spencer McMichael. Guys, I don’t know if you’ve heard but you’ve been nominated by People Magazine as most influential couple of the year.”

“Wow, we hadn’t heard the new yet but that’s wonderful.” Harry smiled.

“What do you think about that?” she asked.

“I think it’s great! I love that in one way or another we’ve managed to help someone out.” I said.

“Yeah, it’s a fantastic honor to be recognized for our love towards each other.”

“Speaking of love, Spencer where’s the rock you were spotted sporting around Christmas time?” Jill pried. I hate when they pried.

“It’s back in New York.” I chuckled. “It wasn’t anything more than a simple gift from Harry.”

“So you two are not engaged then?” she raised an eyebrow.

“No, we are not.” Harry laughed next to me.

“Do you feel like you’ll ever be?” she asked.

“One day I’m sure we’ll figure something out.” Harry answered again.

“So we should keep our eyes open then?”

“Yeah for a few years maybe.” I joked. “We’re happy with what we have going on now.”

She nodded, moving onto a completely different topic. “So tour is starting again for One Direction soon, what should the fans going to the shows expect?”

“High energy, bigger stages, and brand new songs. We’ve got a ton of new music with a new album coming out right before the tour starts and we cannot wait for everyone to hear it.” Harry smiled.

It wasn't a secret that they had an album coming out, they announced it right before the New Year but this lady still acted surprised.

“A new album? Yes! I’m sure the fans are elated about that.”

“They are, really.” Harry smiled.

“And as for you Spencer, we see you silently working your way up in the industry. How’s it coming along for you?”

“It’s great, I love what I do and working with Igor Boris is an absolute pleasure.” I gave the basic answer. I was over this lady before she even came up to us.

“So there you have it, straight from the couple themselves. Not engaged, new albums and possibly the next biggest designer out there? We’ll just have to keep our eyes open and see. Jill Volt, E! News.” She smiled until the cameraman pushed another button on his camera. “Thank you guys so much! That was fantastic! Enjoy the show!”

“Thanks.” Harry smiled, continuing us down the carpet.

I saw Oliver coming over out of the corner of my eye. I wasn’t ready to part with Harry again, yet. “Spencer, we need to head over.”

“Okay one second.” I nodded. “Don’t miss me too much.”

“I always do. Remember we’re meeting backstage after the show.” He said.

“Yes, I know.”

He leaned in giving me on last, huge kiss on my lips. “I love you Spencer.”

“I love you Harry.” I smiled back, before returning my attention to Oliver.

“Okay, we’re just down this way a bit.” He smiled. “So how did it go? You look lovely.”

“Thank you! I think it went really well!” I smiled over at him. I noticed there was a group of guys standing in front of us. I saw the undeniable quiff and instantly knew who they were. I was hoping to duck past them without any of them seeing me, but of course that would have been a miracle.

“SPENCER!” I heard the familiar voice of Calum Hood shout.

“Hey Cal.” I smiled, accepting his hug. I knew there were still cameras around and I didn’t like it. They could see our every move.

“Mikey, pink hair? That’s new!” I chuckled as he brought me in for a hug.

“Like it?” he joked.

“It’s perfect for you.” I smiled, moving down to hug Luke. It was the first time we had saw each other since the ‘date’. I wasn’t sure how it was going to go but I knew due to our location it would be fine.

“And you! You’re wearing blue? What has this world come to?” I joked, hugging Luke.

“You look fit.” He smiled down at me. Same old cheeky Luke.

“Thanks, so does this guy down here.” I pointed towards Ashton.

“I can look presentable when I try.” He joked. Giving me the last of the 5sos hugs.

“It’s weird not seeing you guys in band tees.” I joked. “But hey I hate to run but I’m needed elsewhere, we’ll talk later. You’re still coming to the party right?”

“Yes, we’ll be there!” Ashton fist pumped.

“Sorry about that.” I said to Oliver.

“It’s all good, okay, here we go!” he clapped his hands cheerfully.

I saw Igor standing off to the side of the light up ‘fashion circle’. It was just a big talk show looking setup. Seats lined the outside of the circle and there was a mini runway down the center. I noticed that Igor was standing with Rihanna, our main client this year. I had met her once during the making of the dress. She has popped in to try it on and it fit her like a glove. It was perfect. I was so excited to be sitting here with both of them to talk about it. Igor noticed me first as we made our way over to them.

“Spencer, so good to see you.” he smiled, giving me an unexpected hug.

“Yes! Same here Igor!” I said happily.

“It’s good to see you again, this is flawless.” Rihanna said motioning up and down her dress.

“Great to see you and good! I’m so glad it’s working out.”

Another man came over and started to go over what we’d be doing and talking about. I was too excited to even try and hide my smile. This moment was perfect. I was about to make the biggest move in my career yet. I was so excited. The only thing would have made it even better was if Harry would have been right by the side through the whole thing. I loved him too much for my own good sometimes.

Notes

So the reason I ended it the way I did was because I felt like it was getting too wordy. Too much dialoge and not even content. So sorry if you didn't like it, I understand.

My cat is also attacking my hands as I write so that has a lot to do with it. I tried to find all the kitty errors and my own but if I missed some, I'm sorry.

let me know what you think! xx
