steps out into the hallway he looks annoyed. Then I see
Edward walking just as moodily behind him. Oh, joy. These two in a
confined space will be so much fun.

gives the box to the man on my right and I realize these are his
body guards. "I can carry that." I say, reaching for the box. I'm
sure carrying my things is not in their job description.
    "No,
ma'am. I'll carry it."
    "Okay,
Well let me know if it gets too heavy, or if you change your
mind."
    He nods
at me and I see he's smirking. I was trying to be polite. Why does
it seem like everyone is always laughing at me? I hear Ruxin
laughing, I turn on him. "What?"
    "You just
asked a man three times your size to tell you if a box of clothes
was getting too heavy."
    "I
thought It'd be polite to offer." I reply, blushing again.
Realizing how stupid I sounded I groan. I hear Edward laughing as I
peek at the man, confirming that he really is three times my size.
No wonder he thought it was funny. I can't help but start to laugh
as the man tries hard not to.
    We step
onto the elevator and I feel Ruxin's arm around me as we take up a
corner. He's still smiling about my stupidity. As the elevators
move he nuzzles my neck. I lean into him too tired to do anything
else.
    "You
really are wiped out." He whispers.
    I nod. "I
really am."
    "You have
three hours to sleep before you have to get ready to go. Is that
enough time?"
    "Yeah,
that's fine. Thanks."

    I wrap my
arms around Eva taking on her weight. I can feel Edward glaring at
me and I ignore him, knowing he wants an reaction. I have the girl
in my arms, I don't need to waste my time with him. The elevator
doors open and we step out. I can see the crowd at the entrance, in
my haste to find Eva I didn't bother to cover my tracks and came
straight here. I hear her moan. "Tell me we're not walking through
that."
    "That's
why I brought them." I tell her, motioning to the Dave Clark and
Ronan Singer my bodyguards. I was going to place Ronan in charge of
protecting her, but I don't like how he's looking at her. If he
wasn't a trusted employee I'd fire him. As we near the doors I see
our car waiting at the curb. As we're pushed through the crowd Dave
and Ronan block any microphones and persistent reporters. The
driver opens the door and I pick up and place Eva in the car, she
automatically moves over for me and Ronan. We wait for Dave to get
in the passenger seat as the driver gets in and starts the car.
Finally, we pull slowly away as the crowd parts for us. Eva still
has her face buried in my shoulder as the flashes go off at the
window. I bring my hand around her and caress her head feeling her
body shake. "Five more minutes." I whisper into her ear. She nods
and feel bad about the whole situation. She obviously hates the
spotlight being on her, but she has to get used to it. I know I'm
right when I say, if we hide they'll only become more of a
nightmare.
    "Pull us
into the garage, Henry. I don't want to deal with the
reporters."
    "Yes,
sir." I watch as he takes the entrance specifically used for my
fleet of cars. We park and Eva takes her head from my
shoulder.
    "I really
hate that." She states, shakily running her hand over her
face.
    "I know,
but we're just going to have to deal with it until we're not news
anymore. She nods once. I see how shaken up she really is when she
climbs out of the car. Her normally flushed face is pale and she
has her arms instinctively wrapped around herself.
    "Maybe we
should avoid the press and social functions. I don't think
she's-"
    "Did I
ask for your opinion, Ronan?"
    Eva slaps
my chest. "He's just trying to help. I'll be fine. You're right, I
just need to get used to it. Although, if we could avoid rushing
headlong into a crowd of that size again. I'd very much appreciate
it." She says, sharply.
    "I will
try my best. However, that was your fault."
    "My
fault?" She asks, her temper showing. Bringing color back to her
face.
    "Yes. If
you would have just stayed here, I wouldn't have
