Chapter 11

Y/N's POV

"Hi, mom," I say, my phone pressed against my cheek and shoulder.

"Don't you "hi mom" me!! Why didn't you call like you were supposed to?" she asks.

"I'm sorry mom, but I've been on the set more lately with the movie I'm starring in. It's not an excuse for not calling." I tell.

"Your damn right. Now tell me why I have a ticket to Los Angeles?" she asks.

"I wanted you to come out to the movie premiere. It's the first showing of the movie ever since it was finalized." I tell.

"Baby I would love too, but you didn't have to buy me a ticket."

"I know, but I wanted to. Have you talked with Daryl at all?" I ask.

"Not for the lack of him trying. I swear that man is obsessed with the money we're gaining and not thinking straight," she tells.

"I know. I hope you put a restraining order on him." I tell.

"I did. They're having it finalized as well, so it'll be a couple more days before it's in effect."

"I'm glad. I can't wait to see you out here. I have to show you around." I tell.

"I know. I can't wait either. You are going to introduce me to that lover of yours right?" she asks.

"Don't worry mom, you'll finally get to meet her in person instead of on the phone," I tell.

I see Scarlett pass by in my line of vision and smile at her.

"Speak of the devil, here she is now. Honey, come over here and say hi to my mom." I tell.

She comes over, kisses my cheek, and takes the phone from me, talking to my mom. I get on my laptop and make sure I sent over the right ticket information for her since she doesn't want Scarlett to send her private jet to get her. I did get her first class because she deserves nothing less. Once I confirmed the ticket for tomorrow, I closed my laptop and see Scarlet coming back over handing me the phone.

"Yeah, mom?" I ask.

"I have to go darling so I can be ready for tomorrow. I better see you and Scarlett at the airport," she tells.

"You will mom, no worries," I tell.

"Good. I'll see you tomorrow then honey. Tell Scarlett I said bye and I love you." she tells.

"I will mom. I love you too. Have a safe flight." I tell.

"I will. Love you too."

We both hang up and Scarlett wraps her hands around my waist.

"My mom said that she loves you," I tell.

"I heard. We better get ready though. We're having lunch with Jeremy, Mila, and Megan." Scarlett tells, kissing my cheek.

"Alright," I tell.

I go upstairs to start getting ready while Scarlett calls a car to take us to the cafe.

I come downstairs as Scarlet ends the call and turns towards the stairs.

"Car will be here in just a second," she tells.

She comes over to me and places her hands on my hips.

"You look so beautiful, love," she tells.

"And you look so handsome," I tell, placing my hands on her shoulders.

We kiss until we hear a knocking on the door. Scarlett answers and sees the driver.

"I am ready to escort you to lunch, Ms. Johansson." the driver tells.

Scarlett nods and offers her arm to me. I take it and we move towards the car. We get in and make our way to a nice cafe Mila recommended. We get there and see that Jeremy and Megan had already ordered for everyone.

"Finally, you both are here!! Got caught up sucking face??" Jeremy asks.

"Aren't you suppose to be doing the same with your girlfriend, or are you doing that with Ms. Fox over here?" I ask, smirking at them.

They both blush at that as the rest of us laugh. Jeremy is currently becoming friends with benefits with Megan Fox, after the falling out with his girlfriend. He got himself caught with Megan Fox before one of the shootings.

"Enough said," I say, smirking.

We sit down and started talking about the premiere and what everyone was going to do after.

"I have been getting offers for another movie by Martin. It seems he has many movies he wants me to star in." I tell.

"That's amazing love," Scarlett tells.

"You and I are going to be back to Marvel's Avengers," Jeremy says.

"Right. My managers did send me an email about it." Scarlett tells.

"Mila and I have been asked to host a fashion show," Megan tells.

"That's amazing. Where?" I ask.

"Milan. Why don't you come and join us? We need some more models." Mila asks.

"I'd have to ask Emma, but I would love too," I tell.

"We'll send the details over to her," Mila tells.

"It would be awesome to work with you," Megan tells.

Our food comes out and we start eating, talking about our projects, and all-around things happening. We finish our food and went to get up and go.

"It was nice having lunch with you all," I tell.

"You too. We'll see you at the premiere." Megan tells.

We leave back to Scarlett's house and I set my stuff on the kitchen counter as soon as we got inside.

"What am I fixing for dinner?" I ask, looking in the fridge.

"Anything you want to fix, love," Scarlett tells.

I look up from her and see that she was frowning while looking at her phone. I go over to her and wrap my arms around her waist from behind.

"What's wrong, baby?" I ask.

"Nothing sever. My manager is trying to micromanage some of my dealings, but I know how to put him in check," she tells.

"That's good at least. I decided to make my mom's goulash." I tell.

"I can't wait to eat it. Amongst other things," she tells, looking me up and down.

"Maybe later," I tell, smirking at her.

I sashay back into the kitchen, knowing that she's watching me.

"Do you want to help me make dinner?" I ask.

"Just tell me what to do," she tells, entering the kitchen.

I order her around the kitchen as we cook together and put on some music as we did. We laughed, danced, and chased each other around the kitchen as we cook, making sure we didn't burn anything in the process or get hurt. I put everything on top of the stove on a low simmer and turned to look at Scarlett. She was on her phone again, so I go over to her and take it. She moved to protest, but I kiss her to silence any argument. I placed her phone on the counter behind her as we kept kissing.

"Come on love. Let me take some stress off of you." I tell.

She smiles softly at me as I wrap my arms around her neck and she places her hands on my waist. I take my time to get the stress off of her, not wanting her to be anger going to bed tonight or meeting my mother tomorrow. My timer goes off to single the food being ready, so I break away from Scarlett to get the food. I serve it up on two plates and place one in front of Scarlett. She takes a bite and moans at the taste.

"This goulash is amazing." she moans.

"It's my mom's recipe, so I'm not surprised," I tell.

"I need to have it. We can make it for Rose," she tells.

"You'll have to get it from my mother. Since she'll be here by tomorrow, you can ask her then." I tell.

"I will get that recipe," she tells.

"I'm sure you will," I tell.

We talk as we eat and go over everything for the premiere. Once we were finished, we gather our plates and put them in the dishwasher. As Scarlett starts the dishwasher, I head upstairs to check on my mom's flight. I sit on the bed and go through my laptop for my mom's flight as I felt the bed dip behind me. I feel Scarlett move my hair to the side and leave trails of kisses from my shoulder to my neck.

"Do you need some more...stress relief?" I ask, seductively.

"I could use some more relief." Scarlet whispers in my ear.

"That I can provide," I tell, seductively.

We spent the night making love until we needed to sleep. The next morning I was gathering my things to meet my mom at the airport.

"Scarlett, we need to head out to the airport before my mom's plane lands," I tell.

"I know love. I'm coming," she tells.

I go downstairs to wait for her and checked on Emma. I haven't spoken to her in a good week with any new gigs, so I wanted an update.

I look up and see Scarlet coming down the stairs and towards me.

"Ready. We should get to the airport," Scarlet tells.

"Yeah. I don't want to keep her waiting." I tell.

We go out to the car and drive out to the airport. Once we arrive, we go to the terminal that she was scheduled to arrive in and wait to see her.

"How should I recognize her?" Scarlett asks, looking around.

"She'll look like me. I'm basically her carbon copy." I tell, looking around.

"Y/N!! Scarlett!!" a voice says.

We turn and see my mom moving towards us, waving.

"Mom!!" I say.

I go to meet her and hug her. She hugs back and squeezes me.

"How is my baby? All the Skype calls and phone calls don't do it justice." my mom says.

"I'm doing great mom and just like you wanted, I brought Scarlett with me," I tell.

"It's nice to finally meet you Mrs. Y/L/N," Scarlett tells.

"Ah. What did I tell you about that?" my mom asks.

"Sorry. It's nice to finally meet you Y/Mth/N." Scarlett tells.

"That's better," mom tells.

"Are these all your bags?" I ask, picking up her duffle bag.

"Yes. I just got the necessities and everything." mom tells.

"I'll carry them," Scarlett tells, grabbing the bags.

"No, that's alright. I can carry them." mom says.

"Mom, there's no need. She'll do it anyway." I tell.

"Alright alright. Now, why don't you show me around before we go to your premiere?" mom asks.

"You're going to love the views here mom. Scarlett has been showing me a lot of places here." I tell, moving with her and Scarlett towards the car.

We take the time to go around the city to look at everything mom wanted to see. I was glad that I could show her everything that I could in the allotted time we had. We get back to Scarlett's around 7 o'clock and started getting dressed for the premiere. I slipped on my dress and heels and went to check with the driver downstairs.

"Honey, you look beautiful." mom says.

"Thank you, mom. I'm glad you packed the dress I sent you." I tell.

"It's nothing like the dresses I had at home. I had nothing for the premiere besides my old wedding dress and I wasn't going to wear that again." mom tells.

"Well, I believe that you both will be the most gorgeous women there," Scarlett says, walking down the stairs.

"I didn't think that you would have gone with a skirt, Scarlett." mom says.

"And a mesh one at that," I say.

"Changing it up a little," I tell.

A honk goes off outside and we look to see Emma, her girlfriend, and the driver waiting.

"That's Emma and the driver. We should get going." I tell.

"Do you have your clutch?" Scarlett asks.

I hold up my white clutch bag as I walk to the door and they immediately follow. We pile in with Emma and Jessica and talk while we go to the theatre.

"We are here." the driver tells.

Scarlett and Emma get out first and helped us out as we see the flashing lights of cameras. Scarlett helps my mom out and I link her arm with mine.

"Y/N!!! Y/N!!! Who's your new arm candy?!?!

"Is this a fling?!?!?"

"Are you cheating on Scarlett with her?!?!?"

"I didn't know that paparazzi was this invasive." mom whispers.

"I got used to them. Just ignore them and keep walking." I tell.

Scarlett comes up and links her arm with mine. We move into the theater, but not without staying to take a couple of pictures with the cast and producers. Once we were inside, Martin comes over to us.

"Y/N. Scarlett. How are you both?" Martin asks, air-kissing our cheeks.

"We're doing well Martin. May I introduce you to my mother, Y/Mth/N. Mom, this is Martin Ivy, the producer of the movie." I tell.

"It is very nice to meet you, Mrs. Y/L/N," Martin says.

He picks up her hand and kisses it, making my mother blush.

"Please. Just call me Y/Mth/N." mom tells.

I roll my eyes at that and looked around, seeing Mila and Jeremy waving at us.

"Mom, we're going to go mingle with the other cast members. Martin, keep an eye on her for me." I tell.

"That I surely will," he tells.

We walk away from both of them, giggling.

"Oh god, my mom is going to have her hands full." I giggle.

"I was thinking the same about Martin," Scarlett tells, giggling as well.

We meet up with Mila and Jeremy near the bar, but don't see Megan.

"So where's Megan? I always see both of you in the same place, Mila." I tell.

"Almost joined at the hip," Scarlett tells, ordering a drink.

"Not for the lack of trying," Megan says, coming up behind me.

She hugs me from behind and moves to hug Scarlett as well. Scarlett hands me a drink and we start to mingle with everyone. It was getting around the time where we should be getting to see the actual movie, so I started looking around for my mom. I put down my champagne glass and started walking to find her. I see her still talking with Martin and see her smiling. I go up to them and see them turn to meet me.

"Hey, honey. I was just about to look for you. Martin here says he's about to let everyone inside." mom tells.

"I thought so. Scarlett and the others are just about to head that way. Come on." I tell.

"Alright. Martin, I had a wonderful time talking with you." mom tells.

"And I with you," Martin tells.

We move to go into the theater and take our seats. I see Scarlett waving to us and moved through the crowd to get to her. We take our seats just as Martin gets to the front to make his announcement of the movie.

"Producers, writers, actors, actresses, and fellow guests, please let me have your attention," Martin says.

Everyone settles down and looks to Martin.

"I am proud to announce the making of my film, Spy Love. An action, romance film with heartfelt moments, and adrenaline-pumping action. I know you'll love it just as I did filming it. And now. Spy Love!!"

The lights dim down and the movie started rolling.

Two and a Half Hours Later

The credits roll and we wait with bated breath until the whole theater is filled with a cacophony of cheers including my moms. I released the breath that I didn't know that I was holding and stood up with the other cast members to take it all in and hug them. My mom throws her arms around my neck and pulls me into a crushing hug.

"I'm so proud of you baby." mom says.

"Thanks, mom," I say.

We turn back to the screen and bask in the cheers of the crowd. Martin comes up to the screen again and tells everyone about the afterparty, but I was ready to go home and spend some time with my mom. As we were moving out, my phone buzzes, so I look at it.

I read through the texts again, just trying to process this whole thing as I get another text along with Scarlett.

"Why is your manager texting me?" I ask.

"I don't know. She wants to meet us." Scarlett tells.

"Sorry to cut things short, guys," I tell.

"It's no problem. Go and get things figured out." Mila tells.

"I'll take your mom back to Scarlett's," Jeremy tells.

"Thank you," I tell.

We say bye to my mom and move to the location Scarlett's manager sent to us. Once we arrived, we see them talking with another person and gesture us to sit down at a table.

"Ah, your here. We'll have to make this quick, so I won't beat around the bush." Scarlett's manager says.

"Alex, what is it that you needed?" Scarlett asks.

"We had great work pushing this publicity movement for the movie and to boost morale. It's high time the both of you do a public breakup." Alex tells.

"Alex, this isn't something.." Scarlet starts.

"Did you know about this?" I ask, interrupting.

"What?" Scarlett asks.

"You kept looking at your phone for the past couple of days and said it was stress. Did you know this was going to happen?" I ask.

"Y/N-" Scarlett says.

"Answer me. Did. You. Know?" I ask.

"I did," she tells.

I nod at that and turn to Alex.

"Say whatever you want to the press that makes both of us look good. I don't want to be anywhere near the both of you for any reason." I tell.

I turn to Scarlett and shake my head.

"I'm going back to my house. I'll have someone get my things tomorrow." I tell.

I leave out before she could say anything and put up a fake smile going through the crowds and talking with cast members and producers. I immediately see Emma talking with Jeremy and my mom and make my way over to them.

"Hey. How was that meeting?" Jeremy asks, seeing me walking over.

"It was.....insightful. I'm about to get going. I'm getting a bit tired. Scarlett said she was going to stay for a while." I lie.

I could feel my mom's eyes on me and I knew she felt something was off.

"Alright, sweetie. I'll go with you." mom says.

I nod at that as Emma calls a car to take my mom and me back to my house. Once we entered my house, my mom wasted no time talking to me.

"I know you wouldn't want to talk about what happened tonight, but I will ask this. Did you make things clear with what you had to say?" mom asks.

"I did," I tell.

"You damn well better have. Now let's get some pajamas, grab some ice cream, and watch some movies." mom tells.

I smile at her and hug her.

"Thanks, mom," I tell, tearing up a bit.

"No problem baby."
