Due to the location of the premiere Richard and Megan had booked two hotel rooms. Megan needed a room to get changed in and Charlotte was going to spend the night there to help her get ready. The other room was for the two of them.
Once they had arrived Richard opened the hotel room that they were staying in. Both rooms were next to each other and some of the other cast were across the corridor. Charlotte left the love birds to it so escaped to her room to dump her bags. She then proceeded to get all the make up and hair styling products for Megan out.
Richard on the other hand opened the door and swiftly scooped Megan up, bridal style, and walked into the room. Before placing her down he kissed her softly. So things didn't get to out of hand Charlotte popped her head through the door and dragged Megan away saying she had to start getting ready.
"But we don't have to get there till 8! It's only 5:30" complained Richard.
"Yes but it takes time for a girl to get ready. And with Megan's difficult hair and makeup to do, we must begin now. We don't know how long it's going to take to get there either so if we set of at 7:30 we have to be done by then." Charlotte grabbed Megan's wrist and dragged her back to her room. Just before she left the room Richard gave her a quick peck and a smile.
"I miss you already" whispered Richard. It was only meant for Megan's ears but Charlotte heard. She even went as far as to pretend to barf.
"Oh please, we will be two hours at the most". She laughed at her statement so Richard knew she was joking.
"What's gotten into you" said Megan. "don't tell me your jealous that my boyfriend is famous and much better looking than yours?" Megan chuckled.
"Are you being serious. Ricky is so much better"
"At least I know you won't move onto Richard tonight then"
They both giggled like schoolgirls before they heard someone knock at the door.
Megan went and answered and Charlotte followed behind.
"You two do realise that this room isn't soundproof right." Richard chuckled.
Charlotte shyly asked "did you hear everything.
"Oh yes, so your not jealous then? Thank God and as long as you like Ricky and don't move onto me I'm very happy". He gave Charlotte a wink confirming he was teasing. Megan laughed whilst Charlotte turned bright red. he looked down at Megan.
"At least you prefer me over Ricky I suppose"
"Oh I really do"
Quickly the two shared several kisses earning another fake barfing sound from Charlotte. Richard looked at her innocently
"What" he asked, snaking his hand around Megan's waist.
"Could you two get a room"
"Well we did have one till you entered and dragged me away" replied Megan. They all shared a laugh.
"We do really need to start getting Megan ready though so could you leave please Richard?" Asked Charlotte.
"On one condition" he responded.
"What"
"That I get one last kiss"
Charlotte groaned before watching the two share another kiss.
"Have fun girls" and he left them to it.

Megan jumped in the shower and washed and shaved her legs. Charlotte styled her hair. It had a twist in it and hanged loosely over her shoulders. There were no frizzles for once and all her curls were perfect little ringlets. Next came the makeup. Again it was light but there was a blue eye shadow that matched the dress. It was even sparkly!!!
Finally it came to putting the dress on and spraying herself with deodorant and Richard's favourite perfume.
"Wow, if I do say so we done good". Megan laughed at Charlotte's statement. Charlotte then made Megan sit down before giving her a pep talk.
"I want you to remember that you have just as much as a right to be there as the others. Just because your not famous doesn't mean anyone can overlook you okay. I'm going to stay in here and watch on the tv thinking omg my best friend is walking down the red carpet."
"Stop being so soppy Charlotte. It's not like you but thank you. Don't worry I'll be fine although I am nervous. I really want to impress Richard. I know this sounds stupid but I feel like I've known him forever."
"So you think he's the one?" Asked. Charlotte.
"Yes I think i do"
The girls squealed like school girls again before they were interrupted by a knock at the door. Charlotte looked at her watch.
"Omg it's already 7:30"
Charlotte went and opened the door before stepping out into the corridor. Richard was wearing a three piece suit and Charlotte had to admit, he looked good. Then Megan made her appearance.
"Wow, you look stunning again. Are you ready to go? We're meeting the others in the lobby."
"Yeah I'm ready"
Slowly the descended the stairs that lead to the hobby. Everyone's head turned when they saw Richard and Megan walking hand in hand towards them.
"Hello Cinderella, where's your Prince Charming?" Asked Martin Freeman jokingly.
"He's right here" said Lee Pace pointing to himself earning a laugh from everyone.
"Sorry Lee but he's right next to me". Richard gave her a kiss on the cheek. He loved the fact she called him her Prince Charming. The wives, girlfriends and actresses there all awed at the scene whilst the men looked at Richard and each other not really knowing what to do.
"Are we ready to go then" asked Richard.
He received a chorus of yes.

Suddenly she was there. Walking down the red carpet holding Richard's hand. She still couldn't believe everything that had happened. From the day she had met him to today. She felt so unbelievably happy. Richard kept checking she was okay by giving her sweet and loving glances. He had gone to sign some autographs after the photos were all taking and Megan stopped in her tracks for two reasons. The first was because no fan girl wants to meet Richard's girlfriend and secondly, Megan caught sight of him. The one person who had left her thoughts. He was stood right there staring at her with that look in his eyes that meant he wanted her. Paul was stood there!
Richard turned around and saw the look on her face. He followed her gaze until he saw Paul. He's blood boiled and he quickly walked over to Megan to get her inside.
Megan jumped the sudden contact of his hand around her arm but she was met by a loving and protective gaze.
"He's here" she whispered
"I know. I'm getting you inside"
Soon they were sat in the cinema hand in hand but they were anything but comfortable. Both of them couldn't help but think of the creep that stood outside. What they didn't know was that Paul had gotten better at stalking her. He had followed her ever since their meeting at the supermarket. It was just a matter of time before he revealed himself.
Slowly the lights dimmed and the movie began. Richard kept looking at Megan to find her completely engaged in the film. He couldn't help but feel more in love with her. That's when he looked at their entwined fingers. He couldn't help but think that one day that's wear his engagement ring would lay. He didn't realise that Megan had caught him starring a few times. She thought he was so adorable for checking on her.
When the film had finished everyone stood up and applauded. The film was followed by an after party where Megan meet other actors and actresses she adored. There was more dancing which resulted in Megan not sitting down all night. All the new and old songs played. One of the best parties she had ever been too. Even Richard and Lee took the piss and slow danced together. They were generally the ultimate bromance!
The night ended with passionate lovemaking back at the hotel but the thought of Paul never left Megan's mind.
