I took a deep breath as I finished putting on my make up. Today was the Marlins gala and Christian was going to be there with his new "girlfriend". He has been "dating" Justine Lee a super model for about three weeks now, but I avoided then as much as I could. Christian had told me that dates with her were more commercial  than anything he had done before.

According to Christian whenever they go out somebody tell the press and when they arrive there is already photographers and people asking questions. I was secretly glad that I wasn't going through that but at the same time I felt jealous that she was the one who got to walk around holding hands with MY boyfriend.

"Kate, are you ready?" I hear my brother knock on my door.

"Yes, G!, I'll be out in a minute" 

"I'll wait for you downstairs" 

I took a last  in the mirror. I was wearing a red dress and my up. (This is the look for Kate http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=204261784)

I walked down stairs and found my brother  seating on the couch watching the MLB Network. 

"Baby sis! you look so beautiful with that dress" My brother stand up and I couldn't help but smile at his comment.

"Thank you!,  should we go ?" 

"Yeah, let's get going" Giancarlo and I got into his car and he drove to the Miami Center, where the gala was taking place. I tried to be as chatty as possible so that Giancarlo wouldn't notice that I was feeling weird. 

 I knew about Christian and his fake girlfriend but I haven't been in the same room with them and to be honest I wasn't ready to face it. I knew the details and and I was one of the few people  to know the truth behind that relationship but still I knew that seen them together was going to be somewhat unconformable but I was praying to God that nobody notices specially my brother because I can't lie to him.

"Wow there is a lot of people already" Giancarlo said as we drove in. A couple of minutes after the valet parking came around and Giancarlo gave him the key of the car.

"Thanks buddy" Giancarlo said to the valet parking before walking to my side.

"My lady?" He faked a British accent and offered his arm.

"OH!, this is getting fancy!" I joked as I linked my arm to Giancarlo's.

We made our way into the center. There was a red carpet so Giancarlo and I stopped for some pictures. Giancarlo was greeting everyone he knew and chatting with the press as they asked questions and took his picture. I was smiling and saying "Hi" to everyone that Giancarlo would introduce me to.  At the same time I was looking around because the event planner in me couldn't help it and the fact that I helped to plan this gala had made me feel so proud everything looked amazing. About twenty minutes had pass by and Giancarlo and I were just about to get into the room where the gala was taking place when all the cameras and flashes turned to the door.

As if taken out of the pages of a magazine I saw Christian walk in and by his side his "Girlfriend" Super Model Justine Lee. I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I saw her laugh looking at Christian. I knew that he hadn't said anything funny. Christian told me that she often do things like that when she spots cameras around. As I looked at her I wondered if it was because I already knew that their relationship was fake because I could tell that they weren't in love. Christian wouldn't even look at her and he looked as if he was being drag to this. Then I again I recall he wasn't very happy about the whole "Fake Girlfriend"  situation. My eyes meet Christian's for a couple of seconds. He attempted  to smile but it came out more like and uncomfortable face instead. I felt how my heart broke a little because I knew that somehow this was my fault. Because if our situation was different and if I wasn't such a chicken, my brother would know about us and that would be us walking down the red carpet, and this Justine chick wouldn't be in the picture. 

"She is pretty isn't she" I heard Giancarlo said and snapped out of my thoughts. I turned away from the scene and smiled at my brother.

"Yeah" I said more like a whisper.

"Is there something wrong?" Giancarlo asked noticing my change of mood.

"No, I just noticed something on the decoration that is not quit right" I said quickly.

"Oh, little sis!, but this looks amazing I can't wait to see the main room" Giancarlo said half laughing.

"Yeah, me too" I said walking towards the entrance of the room.

 Giancarlo and I walked into the main room of the Miami Center and I felt my eyes wet a little when I saw the final result of the decoration. It was just amazing the everything looked exactly the way I had imagine it. The tables were placed all around but leaving enough space for a dance floor, the decorations on the top of the tables went perfectly with the rest of the decoration and the flowers were natural and fresh giving the room a beautiful touch. I kept looking around and I felt a wide smile across my face. I have been working as an event planner for a little over two years, but my whole life I spend it imagination my career and organizing every single event that I could. At church, a friends birthday party, everything. But this was by far my biggest job yet and I was more than please with how everything had turned out. 

 "It's beautiful, isn't it" I heard a high pitch female voice behind me and was snapped out of my little day dreaming. I turned around to find Justine and Christian standing in front of me.

"My baby sister did an amazing job with this one"  Giancarlo responded to Justine. I was still processing and trying to play nice, like this situation wasn't affecting me at all.

"She always those" Christian said with a little smile as his eyes met mines.

"Thank you, Yelich" I smiled.

"Hey, man! " Giancarlo said giving Christian a half hug. Christian and Giancarlo engaged in a quick conversation .

"Hi, I'm Justine" She introduced herself after a minute of two when they weren't playing attention to her.

"Oh, Sorry! " Christian said. "Stanton, this is Justine......my..huh.. girlfriend" Christian said the last part awkwardly.

"Nice to meet you" Giancarlo offered his hand.

"All mine" She said with what looked like a force smile. As she shake my brothers hand.

"Nice to meet you" She offered a hand but I took my phone and started to deal a number.

"Yeah me too!, I'll be right back" I said without shaking her hand and just walked out of the room.

Who was I calling?, nobody. Why did I do that?. I don't even know but I knew that I couldn't do. I wasn't ready to play gal pals to the  girl who was in my place right at this moment.
