The Affair

catching up.

ellen's pov:

"yeah" i say really shocked that he's here right now. i feel like i'm dreaming somehow

"long time no see" he says laughing

"yeah, maybe we should catch up with each other. some where not in the middle of the grocery store" i say laughing with him

"yeah we should, are you busy today or do you have plans" "well i was gonna go on a hike but you could come along too if you want" i wasn't sure what was going to happen but it never hurt anyone to wonder

"yeah sure, let's hike up to the hollywood sign and we could catch up while we walk"

" okay that sounds good. we can meet up at like 3 or something" "yeah i'll meet you there" he says smiling but i can't see his smile i only see his beautiful blue eyes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i'm getting out of my car and put my mask on, i'm wearing leggings and a workout shirt with tennis shoes. i don't know why but i feel nervous but it's been forever since i've seen him in person and i'm also excited to see him for a little bit

patrick's pov:

as i'm getting out of my car i'm so excited i finally get to be with ellen for a while, it's been forever. i am nervous as to what we are going to talk about. i've been thinking about this every since we met in the store this morning and i can barely contain my excitement anymore

i see ellen and walk up too her. gosh she looks amazing

"hey" she says smiling and i can see her waving

"hey" i smile and wave back at her

we are the only two people there so we just go ahead and start walking up

"so how have you been" i say breaking the silence

"i've been good, kinda bored though since the lockdown happened but just doing what i can to stay occupied"  "what about you" she adds

"yeah, me and jill have been doing pretty good just pretty much the same thing over and over again"

ellen's pov:

that's it, that's the exact reason i hate him. he's still married after all these years and i thought he wanted to be with me, but obviously not well enough. should i even bring it up? will it cause a fight? did he even really love me, well obviously not because he's still married to the same person

"i'm glad you two are doing great. that's amazing" i say with now a ton of hate in my voice

i get the feeling he knows what the tone in my voice is about

"elle?" he says kinda sad

"my name is ellen"  i say sternly

"do you wanna talk about it" he says trying to be sweet and i know exactly what he's trying to do

"no, as a matter of fact i don't want to talk about it so let's just move on okay. we are just friends now and that's how it should've been since the beginning so no there's nothing to talk about here. "

"okay" he says looking up at the trail

"how has the show been doing?" he says changing the subject

" it's been good, but now i think krista wants to do the next season about covid so i have no clue how she's going to do that but she'll find a way"

"yeah, i just wish more people would wear their masks and take this think more seriously"

"what if we do a thing on our social media's about wearing masks and then maybe fans and other people will start to take this thing more seriously." i say looking at him

"oh yeah that sounds like a great idea" he says looking at me smiling

we keep walking till we get up to the hollywood sign and then we sit down and we are just relaxing and it's some sort of peace outside that we've never felt in la before.

"hey patrick?"

"yeah?" he says looking back at me

"would you ever come back to the show?"
