“Are you sure your OK with me being here?” She asked me tenderly and carefully “I know your plan was for Carly to be here and she’s sorry but..”

“Please don’t make excuses for her, work just sometimes comes first” I drop my head, staring at the ground and while I felt a warm affectionate hand run across my back I smiled “Your never this nice to me… you must feel bad for me”

I watched her eyes dart side to side. I know how she felt, I was stupid.. I saw the way she looked at me and at first I could just ignore it but the softer she got the more I no longer wanted to ignore it. The attraction was there but either way, I love her best friend and anything I may be feeling for this big hazel eyed blonde was nothing more than attraction.

“She is sorry, Bette”

“You said that already” I add “Can we talk about something else?”

She nodded “You’ll never guess who I caught making out with Nikki Stevens onset yesterday”

“Not the director…”

“The one and only”

“Well don’t say I didn’t warn you. I did see those looks”

Her mouth made a O as she frowned her brow at me “Remind me next project to bring you back onset, your pretty useful at times, Porter”

“And what happened with Kate?”

I watched her frown, like I shouldn’t be asking the question but she answered anyway “Nothing, I refuse to fuck someone I am working with. It blurs the boundaries and I know I’d feel shit the next day so when she was fired and Schechter was brought in we said our goodbyes and that was it”

“Carly told me that you liked her…”

“I think Carly wants me to be like her… love someone and she wants it to happen right now, whereas I am happy with the way things are. I love my life”

“And your not ready to be tied down to one person? It might surprise you when you meet the right person”  I pushed, I didn’t know why I was pushing the subject, maybe it was easier to talk about this than the elephant between us.
