All That Glitters: Oscars

Oscars

And here comes Seifried Elci, a sure winner for Best Actor and his super pipped lady, best Actress nominee Euryl Jones making tgeir red carpet debut together. How are you feeling tonight?" A Hollywood Reporter journalist called Cassie Amio asked as they stepped up onto a podium in front of several TV cameras. Euryl gritted her teeth as she climbed it, the high heels she was wearing a hazard as well as the trailing skirt. But she felt Seifried grip her hand to steady her and rolled her eyes inwardly as she knew if it wasn't for the cameras, he wouldn't have bothered to help her.

"Happy to be here." Seifried grinned as she smiled forcefully. He wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Oh I don't doubt it. Both nominated for a leading Oscar and, Euryl, you're performing for us tonight. With the dashing Rai, can we expect some sizzling chemistry?" She winked at them and Euryl felt Seifried's hand grip her wrist. So he did know.

Fighting to not freeze like a statue, she made herself smile. "Oh I think Rai and I won't disappoint, you'll just have to wait."

Yhe journalist laughed. "Well I'm sure we and the audience at home are in for a pleasant surprise. And with your gorgeous perfume who could resist? Is that the new Armani fragrance? From your very dynamic commercial together?"

Euryl smiled as she recalled tye awkward shooting where she had to writhe around with Seifried in a nightclub and stimulate kissing him. It had been hard to shoot especially when all while doing it age kept remembering how fearless and carefree she had felt kissing and acting in love with Rai on set for three months. The commercial depicted her leaving the nightclub as the sun rose and shots of them both smelling their clothes to remember the fling with them aying in a voice over "Unforgettable by Giorgio Armani."

"Yes it is, I thought a slight spritz would help me." She joked.

"Oh you don't need any help, I'm sure. Good luck, we look forward to your winner's interview." Cassie cooed.

Euryl grinned for the camera but it faded slightly as she caught Seifried's stony expression and his hand loosen. She made to descend the step but quicker than she could realise, her foot slipped whether by her heels or her dress or somehow another person's foot, and she tumbled to the floor, her knees coming in harsh contact with the rough carpet.

"Oh my god! Quick, cut to commercial." Cassie cried as a jumble of security personnel, attendees, journalists and other celebrities rushed around her. "Euryl, are you hurt? Quick someone get a medic."

Euryl coughed sharply as she felt a pair of strong arms take her waist and delicately lift her up. She nearly swatted them away, not wanting Seifried anywhere near her if he had managed to subtly trip her but even she knew the touch was more gentler than his.

"Oh Rai thank you!" She heard Cassie exclaim and she gave a slight gasp, suddenly self conscious and hoping her dress wasn't torn or her makeup smudged. Shd didn't think of the cameras or a hasty change or Marcel and Arn's shock but of how she would look in front of Rai. He gently stood her on her feet where the first thing she saw was his dazzling brown eyes.

"Are you alright?" He asked her quietly.

She gave a small smile, instantly soothed by his appearance. "Yes, thank you Rai." She whispered.

He lifted hid hand and she made herself not flinch or be concerned about what Seifried thought. Swiftly but gently he tucked back a strand of hair that must have come astray. "Wild motorcycle ride Miss Jones? He gave his smile that she adored and she giggled despite the circus around them.

"Something like that I guess."

He smiled and with a quick bow to those around him, turned around to leave.
