Since I faced the press or the press faced me...
Is been hell for me...
In my job I can't get out and meet a client because they automatically are following me..what they writing the last time..oh ...yes...
Secret affairs....the true about the engagement
Jezz..... you have to see Luke and Paul almost in killing mode with the press because each time I face them..I don't do any comment....at all
Is my life and my life is not business....for no one...
So I have to do all the work inside office....my brother just got back from his honeymoon....
My night job that's more funny if you remember I'm dealing them with the security part...I'm in charge so each time a reporter getting closer to me my partners and boss deal with them....there I can really breath....I'm free...
And in the building in the beginning they practically camping in front of it ..thanks to Roger they can't getting inside...
Is been the most stressful weeks I ever have in my whole life...but I'm doing it for him...
Luke is with his promotion for Dracula untold...
Actually I didn't see him in weeks...almost a month....
He call me each time he can other we chat but others the difference of time is to much he just text me...
I know he's trying very hard to maintain this relantionship and make me feel comfortable with all this Paul to but.....nevermind
Is almost Christmas...
I'm right now in New York...
because Luke want a family reunion here and celebrating all together...in his apartment he make all the arrangements to bring his parents and mine including my brother and wife for a couple of days...until New Years ...
Here I don't worried to much with the press because we are closer to the 5th Avenue...they are reporter's but not like California....breathing over our neck...
Finally a little peace...
His parents there wonderful...very polite ....now I understand him who look a like...definitely his father...great talker..great storytelling ..I'm already fall in love with them...and for I can see their feeling is mutual at me...
My parents are in there apartment with Carl and Mabel..
Right now ....I'm busy...very....totally. ..
Dealing with the dinner with my future mother in law...
Tonight is Christmas Eve....
Luke called he would do the impossible to be here and I'm anxious to see him..we don't live together if you ask...his parents are very tradicional but I don't mind at all...sometimes since is official i really need space...
