Pov y/n

The flight back to New York goes by quick and since we have the same pilot as last time, Rose is pretty relaxed about it and Scarlett gives me a thankful smile. It is definitely easier to fly from LA to New York than to spend many, many hours on a train.

We arrive kinda late and drive from the airport directly to her house. Rose falls asleep during the car ride home and we bring her to bed.

It feels good to be here again with Scarlett and Rose by my side.

Whenever I came her by myself, it was kinda lonely and it felt like something was missing and now it's not anymore.

I stay the night because it's late and I also don't want to say goodbye to Scarlett again, even if it's just for a day.

Cuddling into her just feels right and even though we won't get enough sleep because I have to work tomorrow and Rose has school, I am more than happy to be with her again.

"Oh, if Rose asks to see the treehouse, please tell her to wait because I'm not quite finished yet. I still need to paint a few things." I mumble into Scarlett's chest, my eyes already closed.

"Of course, I will tell her that." She promises and kisses the top of my head before I mumble a 'goodnight' and fall asleep.

The next morning is a little stressful because we all need to head somewhere else.

Me to work, Rose to school and Scarlett to a meeting.

Scarlett drops Rose off first before driving me to work and then going to her own meeting.

Brooke happily greets me and asks how my vacation was and I tell her it was amazing and very relaxing, which is true. She's happy for me and tells me about what her and the guys have been working on and where they are with our bigger project.

My mood is good during the whole day and I can't help but to smile, knowing I'm coming home and will see Scarlett and the little nugget again.

I pick up some paint on my way back, to finish the treehouse today because I don't know how long we can keep Rose from running outside and looking at it but probably not very long anymore.

When I enter the house, I can already hear Rose and Scarlett in the kitchen chatting. I enter and see Rose sitting on a barstool, doing some homework while Scarlett sits next to her and helps her. I can't help it but to smile at the sight, finally being able to see them again after work.

"Hey, bug." I say and wrap my arms around Scarlett's shoulders, kissing her hair and watching what they are working on.

"Hey angel." She replies and kisses the back of my hand, giving me little butterflies.

"We're doing math right now." Rose tells me and glances up from her homework. I lean over and give her a kiss as well.

"And how are you doing with math?" I ask and look at the sheet in front of her.

"Pretty good. My teacher said I am very smart with numbers." Rose tells us proudly and I feel pride rising up inside me. I unwrap my arms from Scarlett and give Rose a little hug.

"That's great, little dolphin, I'm so proud of you." I say and she grins happily up at me.

"Yes, that's really amazing, sweetheart." Scarlett agrees and kisses Rose's cheek. The little girl smiles happily at our words of affirmation before going back to work on her homework.

Scarlett turns around in her stool and looks at the bag I'm holding in one hand. She nods towards it.

"What's in there?" She asks.

"Paint." I answer and she nods, smiling knowingly.

I give her a proper kiss on the lips and she smiles into it before letting me go. I step outside and slip into my garden shoes, yes I have some as well now.

I grab the little bucket with utensils I put together along with the paint and make my way over to the treehouse. Looking at it, I am honestly very satisfied with my work and also proud because it really looks good.

I put the paint up there as well as the brushes and climb up to start paining the walls.

Even though it's not that warm, my body heats up at the work and I get out of my sweatshirt, leaving me in a tank top. I get lost in my own thoughts a little and hum a random tune while working.

"I gotta say, it's pretty impressive." Scarlett suddenly says and I almost drop the brush, not having heard her come closer.

"Jesus, Scar. Don't sneak up on me like that." I say and put my hand dramatically over my chest. She laughs and shakes her head a little.

"I'm sorry babe, I though you heard me." She chuckles.

"I was a little lost in my mind." I explain and she hums before climbing up the ladder, looking around impressed.

"You really figured it out, didn't you?" She asks, still impressed.

"I guess so. YouTube and Google helped a lot." I admit and she laughs a little, leaning against the railing.

I continue to paint and lean down to paint over a spot I missed.

Suddenly I feel her hands on my butt, squeezing lightly and making me jump a little.

"I'm sorry, my love. But you look incredibly hot right now." She whispers into my ear, making me shiver a bit and I quickly put the brush down, not wanting to accidentally spill paint over her or something else.

Her hands travel from my butt over my hips to my lower stomach, laying there.

"Well, I'm glad you like it." I say with a little smirk and lean back into her, enjoying being close with her again. Her breath touches my ear and I shiver a little.

"I really do. The combination of these jeans and the tank top is just...something else." She husks and I get slight chills. When one of her hands moves down to rest over my crotch, I gasp a little.

"Scar..." I breathe out. "Not here, Rose is in the house." I whisper and she chuckles, her voice a little raspier.

"I know and I wouldn't want to take you outside in our daughters treehouse, that's just not right. But the thought of you standing while I pleasure you is tempting. Seeing if you could keep yourself up." Her other hand starts to run up and down my arms. I sigh a little at her words and clench my thighs a little together.

"Feeling bold today?" I ask back, trying to sound less turned on than I actually am.

"With you? Always." She replies and removes her hand from my crotch, her lips now softly kissing my neck.

"I swear to God, you have the ability to drive me crazy." I mumble and turn around.

Her eyes follow my movement and I wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her a little closer. I connect our lips in a slightly heated kiss and have to hold back a little moan when she lightly bites onto my bottom lip.

She pulls away and lets my bottom lip plop back.

"Right back at you." She mumbles and pecks my lips a little softer.

She lets go of me to lean against the railing again and I take a few seconds to compose myself before I go back to work again.

"Was that the reason you came here for? For a quick make out session?" I ask with a little smirk and she laughs, shaking her head.

"No, actually not but I couldn't help myself when I saw you like this." She admits and I smirk to myself, never getting tired of hearing that she finds me attractive.

"Why did you come out then?" I ask and put the brush down again to face her.

"I have a movie premier on Friday and wanted to ask if you would want to come with me." She says while fiddling a little with a ring on her finger, indicating that she's a little nervous about that. I step closer and take her hands in mine.

"Sure, I would like that." I answer and she seems a little relieved and a smile washes over her face.

"There will be a red carpet though, so pictures and interviews." She adds and nibbles a little on her lip.

If my hands weren't kinda dirty right now, I would pull her lip from between her lips. I decide to peck her lips instead, stopping her nibbling successfully.

"You want me to be your arm candy for those pictures?" I ask and she looks a little irritated at me.

"My arm candy?" She asks and raises an eyebrow. I nod.

"Yes. That's a person a celebrity takes with them to a red carpet or so to pose for photos with. Usually that person is very pretty and they look good together." I explain and she looks at me as if I just told her the sky was green.

"How have I never heard of that term?" She asks and frowns a little. I chuckle and kiss her cheek.

"Maybe because you're not very active on social media or so?" I offer an answer and she hums in thought before shaking her head and coming back to the topic.

"I want you to be more than just arm candy, I want to take you with me and show you a little bit of my world." She says and her hands leave mine to run up my arms and wrap around the back of my neck.

"That sounds really exciting and I would love that." I reply, kissing her softly. She returns the kiss as my hands find her waist.

"Are you okay with it though? Because it would make our relationship official?" She asks and searches my eyes.

Right, I didn't think of that but if we would go there together, it'd be confirmed that we are together, at least somehow. I mean, I don't mind at all, as long as people won't start digging into my private life and my past. I nod slowly.

"I am but are you okay with officially coming out then?" I ask since we never really talked about that.

She didn't have a problem with telling her friends or with pictures of us appearing on the internet but if we go to the premier together, her sexuality would be open to everyone.

"I mean, I don't really label myself at the moment. What I am sure about though is you and that I love you. I don't care about what everyone else thinks, you're the person I love and they have to except that." She says with a little shrug and I honestly feel a little proud on how less of a shit she gives about other people's opinions because that's how it should be.

"Well, then it'll be my honor to be your arm candy." I grin and she playfully rolls her eyes and swats my shoulder lightly.

"Stop calling yourself that, you are way more and you know it." She says and I nod, pecking her lips.

"I know." I whisper against her lips and she smiles happily.

"You know, a lot of your fans will love that you officially have a girlfriend now." I tell her and she looks quizzically at me, waiting for me to elaborate.

"I am pretty sure, that you have quite a big gay fanbase." I explain and she seems to understand and chuckles a bit.

"Well, maybe." She agrees and pulls me in for another sweet kiss before letting go of me and letting me continue to work.

I finish painting the treehouse that day and when I go back inside, I am greeted by the smell of dinner and quickly take a shower before joining Scarlett and Rose at the table.

The next day I am pretty much all the time excited to see Rose's reaction to the treehouse in the afternoon.

After work I stop by my apartment to take care of a few things before going to Scarlett's.

When I tell Rose that she can take a look at the treehouse now, she cheers loudly and races to the garden door.

I quickly follow her and Scarlett does so too, not wanting to miss Rose's reaction.

Rose squeals when she sees the tree house and runs up to it, looking at everything before climbing up.

I stand close to her while she does so, just in case she slips but she doesn't.

We watch as she looks at everything from up close, the biggest smile on her face. She leans against the banister and grins down to us.

"I love it! Thank you, Mama!" She exclaims and I smile at her.

"You're welcome, sweetie." I reply and she climbs down the ladder again to give me a big hug. I return it and hold her tight. She gives my a kiss and I can't help it but to love her even more than I already do.

"It is so cool!" She says and lets go of me to climb up again.

We watch her look around a little more before we talk about rules.

Most of them just being, not going up there in the dark alone, telling at least one of us before she goes up there, so we know where she is, no jumping down from the platform because that's dangerous and not throwing herself against the banister because it's not able to hold that probably.

Rose agrees with all of them and for the next hour, she is occupied with bringing stuff up there, mainly toys.

I smile when I watch her use a rope to lift some heavier things up there that she can't throw up. She really seems to enjoy her new treehouse.

Scarlett watches me watch Rose and wraps her arms around me, happily watching her child playing with her new treehouse.

The next three days go by quickly and I have to admit that I get more and more excited with each day but also kinda nervous because I've never been on a premier, and especially not on the red carpet.

Rose will stay the weekend with her dad, so we don't have to worry about where she will be.

It's currently Friday afternoon, only two more hours until we need to be there and my nerves are acting up a little. Scarlett has a hairdresser and make-up artist over to help her get ready.

They also helped me a little, well they did my hair and put light make-up on me, that's all.

I was surprised when Scarlett said her publicist and dress designer will take care of our clothes.

Until yesterday I thought I could just pick a nice dress or suit to wear but Scarlett explained that it's not that easy. She said the clothes will be brough by the hairdresser and that I don't have to worry about the money because the clothes will be washed and taken care off, maybe even sold in case we don't want to keep them.

I agreed with that because I knew that this wasn't just some random day outside, it was a movie premier and Scarlett has to think of her image.

I didn't get to see her dress as she's getting ready in the bedroom while I'm getting ready in the guest bedroom but I assume it's gonna be somewhat matching with the jumpsuit I got. Honestly, I am kinda glad they gave me a jumpsuit because I don't know if I would have felt confident enough in a dress.

The jumpsuit is very chick. It's black and quite the deep cleavage but I'm wearing a dark red top underneath, so I am all covered.

I decided on black sneakers that I cleaned just for this purpose because I'm not that great at walking in high heels and I really don't need to embarrass myself in front of multiple cameras.

My foot taps against the floor as I nervously wait for Scarlett. Now that it's actually happening, I am pretty nervous. Still excited but mainly nervous. I just hope everything will go well.

When I hear the clicking of heels coming down the stairs, I turn around and my breath hitches in my throat at the sight of Scarlett.

She wears a dress in the same dark red as my top. It's delicate and hugs her perfectly and goes down to shortly above her knees.

She wears silver high heels and her hair is complicatedly put up into a beautiful hairstyle. I can't tear my eyes away from her, too stunned to speak.

She smiles softly and cups my face.

"Are you okay, my love?" She asks and I catch myself again and nod.

"You just look...wow." I whisper, letting my eyes wander over her dress one more time before looking back up at her.

"Thank you and I can only return it. You look freaking hot in that jumpsuit." She compliments me and I feel my cheeks turn red.

"Are you ready?" She asks and takes my hand. I look at her and take a breath before nodding, suddenly feeling calmer now that she's with me.

"I am." I say and she smiles and leads me outside.

As she's slightly walking in front of me, I can see her back.

Her dress is pretty lowcut and a few straps hold it together in her back.

I swear, if this woman wasn't my girlfriend, I for sure would be drooling at her sight and wish she was my girlfriend. How can someone be so stunningly beautiful?

"You're staring, baby." She chuckles a little as we watch the car stop in front of us. I shake my head to come back to reality.

"I'm sorry, it's just that you're so beautiful, I couldn't help myself but admire you." I say and her eyes light up at my words.

"I love you." She says and squeezes my hand, not able to kiss me because of her lipstick.

"I love you too." I reply and she smiles widely at me.

The car ride isn't too long and when we slow down, I can already see a bunch of photographers looking at a build up red carpet, countless camera flashes pointing at the people on the carpet and I swallow a little, this seems pretty intense. Scarlett squeezes my hand and I look at her.

"I know it can be a little overwhelming at first but after a few minutes, you get used to it. And if not and you feel yourself getting too nervous or anxious or even panicked, squeeze my hand three times and I will get you out of there." She tells me softly and I feel my body calming down a little bit, knowing she has my back and will be with me this whole time.

The car stops and I bite my lip a little. Scarlett will get out first but that also means that the attention will snap to us probably.

She opens the door and gets out, smoothing out her dress a little before offering me her hand to help me out. I take it and also tug a little on my jumpsuit, suddenly feeling a little insecure next to her. As if she can read my mind, she squeezes my hand and I look at her.

"Don't worry, you look amazing and as stunning as ever." She assures me and I smile shyly, the situation making me a bit shy.

"Thank you." I say and she gives me a reassuring smile before linking her arm with mine and leading me towards the carpet.

The first few photographers already noticed us and are waiting for us to step onto the carpet.

Since she wears heals, she is slightly taller than me and I am impressed how well she can walk on those things.

I take a last deep breath before we step onto the carpet and the flashes go off, nearly blinding me.

I don't know where to look and all the 'look here' shouting doesn't help. Scarlett taps my arm lightly and I look to her. She doesn't seem fazed by this at all, probably used to it by now.

"We'll start looking at the cameras to our left, then straight in front of us and then to our right." She whispers loud enough for me to hear and when she turns her face to the left, I follow her lead and put on a smile.

It feels a little forced but when Scarlett's arm wraps around my upper body, pulling me a little closer and I am able to breathe in her smell, I relax and smile automatically.

I glance up at her and see her best paparazzi smile. She looks so beautiful and adorable at the same time that I can't help but to smile at her.

I barely notice the flashes anymore and am only pulled away when she gives my side a little squeeze, telling me to move on and we get out of the flash waves.

We are now at the spot where a lot of reporters with cameras are. Some of them are still interviewing the other actors, so Scarlett leads me to a kind looking woman.

"Scarlett Johansson, what an honor to be able to speak to you." The woman says and Scarlett smiles kindly at her.

"It's my pleasure." She replies easily and the woman smiles. Shortly she looks at her cards before deciding to ignore them.

"I see you brought someone with you today?" She asks and now also smiles at me. I return the smile and reach for Scarlett's hand since she let go of my side. Our fingers intertwine automatically and she pulls me half a step closer.

"Yes, I did. This is y/n, my girlfriend." She introduces me and I give a shy wave into the camera.

"We heard about you two but nothing got confirmed yet." The woman says and looks between us for an answer. Scarlett takes over this duty.
