Promotion Blues | Sam & Emilia
Maybe it was being newly divorced that turned him into this critical monster. Or maybe he had always been this way, but the ring on his finger had held him accountable of his critiques. Anything anyone did, he couldn’t stop himself from comparing it to now ex-wife, Laura. “I’m going to get a coffee, want one?” Emilia inquired, pulling him from his reverie. “Sure, thanks,” he smiled up at the now familiar face. Sam watched the brunette float over to the coffee set-up on the far side of the hotel lobby. Hotel lobbies all around had become the biggest part of their pregame routine. Laura had never once offered to get him anything, yet strongly felt as though he should only ever think of one person. That one person being her.
Emilia bounced her way back to him with a pep in her step that he found impossible. When her eyes met his, he turned his gaze down at his phone. He had been very careful when the camera’s stopped rolling. Acting was the best job, but it was a hard job. Seeing as you usually have amazing chemistry with your leading lady, it was really easy to get caught up in the romance of it all. It was way too early into his newly single life to be catching feelings. The smell of coffee perked his senses, and seconds later the girl offered the cup to him. “Thank you so much.” Make up artists and hairdressers had been swarming them all morning, and Sam was surprised that they had found something else to perfect on the already stunning brunette. One of them was running their fingers through her loose curls, the other rubbing lipstick on her lips, replacing the layer that was now on her cup of coffee. Why did they have to look so perfect to promote a movie? Sam cut his eyes at the girl, chuckling quietly at her frustration, before one of them started fluffing his already fluffy hair.
