Olympic Dreaming Ch. 14

... it was.

Anyway, it's too late now to do anything about it, and I suppose there are worse things to have rumours about you. I trusted Astrid felt the same way. The film finished, and the audience stood, clapped, and cheered. I'd never been to a premiere before, so I wasn't sure if this was out of politeness or genuine enthusiasm, but I thought the film was brilliant. I'd certainly pay to see it.

After the film ended, we headed to a nearby hotel for a post-premiere party. People were buzzing, and everyone involved was proud of our contribution. My family and girlfriends crowded around me, congratulating me on my performance. The looks I got from my mum, sister, and auntie Fiona were very embarrassing. Thankfully, I was soon pulled away to talk to some journalists and critics, who were all kind with their praise.

I was standing with Astrid and Charlotte during one exchange when a UK critic asked what project I was working on next.

"Well, I'm still doing my degree for another year," I responded. "I hadn't thought about anything else; I assumed this was a one-off. I did enjoy it, though, so if the opportunity came up once I'd graduated, I'd probably jump at it."

"That would work for me," I responded. "I get on very well with her, and I know she would act in my best interests. Perhaps we could meet with Emily and Charlotte in the next few days?"

Charlotte promised to make some arrangements, and we split up to mingle. As I moved around talking to people, everyone was very complimentary. I knew little about the movie business and took most comments with a pinch of salt. What someone says to your face might not be their real thought, or they might just be trying to use you for their own agenda. My girlfriends soon took turns escorting me. There were many young female society women at the party, and I was getting plenty of offers to see them later. After turning down the first few offers, my girlfriends saw what was happening and latched onto me to make it clear I was taken. It didn't stop all the attention, but it certainly helped. I made sure that whenever a woman approached with a particular look in her eye, I held my 'bodyguard' close to try to ward off any unwanted offers.

As the party started to wind down, Alicia was acting as my current 'bodyguard' when my sister, Alice, came over to chat. She ...
