"Hey Laura! Look this way!" A camera flash nearly blinded me. Whatever happened to personal space? I put on my best smile and posed. 

"You look fabulous tonight, just one more picture!"

 "I think you have enough for your tabloid Jeff." I said as I put my sunglasses back on. 

"It's a blog." 

"Gentlemen, that's enough." Alec, my driver, said as he placed himself between the bloodthirsty reporters and me. I expected them to push and shove him like they always did but their attention shifted to someone else.

"She's here."

I removed a pocket mirror from my purse and quickly checked my hair and makeup. I had to look perfect for her. 

Alec stood next to me as we watched her walk down the red carpet. We stood at attention like the loyal soldiers we were.

"Laura."

"Victoria."

"That dress makes you look two sizes bigger. Don't wear it again. Unless you want to spark pregnancy rumors. Now, smile."

She turned and waved at the cameras. She even blew them a few kisses.
