NEW DAY
Chapter Six
Rose slowly put on her lavender dress. The
train surrounded her, and the dress itself showed off her figure.
Her hair was down and her makeup, to say the
least, was wonderful.
A knock on Rose's door signaled to her that
Jack was ready to leave. She quickly grabbed her purse and left.
Rose walked slowly over to the limousine that
would escort her and Jack to the premier. Rose had grown fond of Jack, but
still couldn't trust herself to love any other man. Keith had taught her the
lesson of trustworthiness.
"Hey," Jack said, opening the door
for Rose.
"Hey," Rose replied, getting into
the car.
The ride to the premier was silent. Small
talk had been made, but those conversations did not last.
The car came to an abrupt stop in front of
the red carpet. Jack got out first, and then offered his arm to Rose.
Rose shielded her eyes from the flash of the
cameras. Millions of questions were tossed around her and Jack.
"Looks like we've made the
headlines," Jack said.
Rose laughed. "Yeah, wouldn't they be
surprised if we started making out right in front of them?"
Jack let out a slight laugh and turned his
attention toward the open doors.
After they got inside, Rose and Jack were led
to their own private viewing booth. Both of them would give speeches shortly
before the movie began, and both were nervous.
Rose yawned. "I can't believe we got
through these past few months of filming."
Jack nodded. "I know. I'm surprised we
didn't die from the food, let alone the filming hours."
Rose and Jack both gave short speeches, each
sharing memories of things that happened on and off set; shortly after the
speeches, the movie began.
Rose and Jack both watched from the booth.
The movie was soon over, surprisingly. They had each expected it to be longer.
Rose and Jack again made their way through a
sea of reporters, questions, and camera flashes.
Rose and Jack both went to their trailers
after a short good-bye. After a few more days, they wouldn't see each other
again.
