Chapter 92 - Breakup Over Snapchat (2/2)

They pulled up in front of the venue and took a deep breath. ”You want to go first?” she asked.

”I'll go around and help you out,” he replied. He got out of the car and the fans started yelling. The cameras flashed and he was grateful that he had brought his sunglasses. He could just take them off for the interviews. He reached in the car and took Julie's hand, helping her out of the car.

Instantly, the questions started coming. ”Are you two together?”

Cage ignored the question and guided her towards the red carpet. He waved with his free hand as she wobbled in her high heels.

”What a surprise!” the first interviewer exclaimed. ”Are you two here together?”

'Yes, what do you think?' Cage thought sarcastically but painted a fake smile on his face.

”It would seem so,” Julia said in a singsong voice. Cage looked at her, his eyes wide.

'Oh no, she is going to act out.'

”We're good friends and thought us singles should attend together,” he commented, hoping Julie would get the message.

”How have the two of you been?” the interviewer asked.

”We're doing just fine, aren't we?” Julia blew a kiss at him. Cage held back his frustration. Why did it seem like she was mildly intoxicated? He knew what she was doing but he didn't like it one bit. He'd have to take this up later and tell her how uncomfortable it made him. Right now, he couldn't do anything.

”We're well and hope you enjoy our time at the awards today,” he said finally, before tugging Julie away before the interviewer could ask another question.

”What are you doing?” he said under his breath, still smiling at the camera.

”I was angry. She was pissing me off.” She looked at his expression. ”I won't do it anymore.”

He won one of the two awards he was nominated for. His speech was short and the audience clapped.

”I love you all,” he said, waving as he made his way down the stage. The night was almost over and he couldn't wait to get back home and talk to Katherine. Just a couple more hours and he would see her, hold her, and tell the truth.

The awards aired after he had reached home. On the other side of the town, the three girls sat in front of the couch and waited for the celebrities to file in.

As they saw Cage walk down the red carpet, they clapped. Angelina was grumbling about Julia Williams being on his arms and that she was too close to him.

Katherine and Lily humored her, not saying anything.

When the interviews came, Angelina's eyes grew wide. She pulled out the phone from her pocket.

”What are you doing?” Lily asked, panicked. Katherine, on the other hand, just watched the two of them fight for the phone.
