"Valeska! Over here!"
Camera shutters and flashing lights surrounded the five rockstars. Stood front and centre was Valeska Katz in all her glory. Come the next morning, her dazzling smile and skin tight dress would be plastered all over the tabloids.
"We killed it tonight Val!" Gianna Keller grinned, slinging an arm over Valeska's slender shoulders. Gianna was the keyboardist for The Vipers, and a legendary one at that. She also happened to be Valeska's best friend since middle school.
"We all did." Valeska beamed, glancing around her friends triumphantly. To her left were the towering figures of Liam Davis, their bassist, and Felix Astbury, their drummer.
"Could we get a few of Val and Kieran?" A paparazzi shouted from amongst the crowd. While Valeska had to fight the urge to eye roll, Kieran just grinned smugly.
"Come on babe, smile for the camera." He smirked, drawing Valeska's much shorter frame into his side and letting his hand rest low on her hip.
Kieran Frost. Guitarist, heartthrob, but most importantly, the love of Valeska's life. At least that's what they told the fans.
Valeska maintained her bright smile, leaning closer into Kieran's side in a gesture that conveyed absolute adoration.
"You guys make such a beautiful couple!" A voice called out, promoted a chorus of agreeing murmurs from the crowd.
Kieran chuckled, his easy smile exuding knee-weakening charm. "My stunning girlfriend is the real beauty here." He leaned down, pressing a quick kiss to the crown of her head. "I just can't keep my hands off her."
