TW: MENTION OF A SUICIDE ATTEMPT (BRIEFLY, NODETAILS), MENTION OF MARKS ON SKIN (NOT FROM ANY KIND OF SELFHARM).

"I know..." Audrey sighed as she took her purse, taking her cellphone and sitting beside her lover. "Hello? Oh hi, Mark... I just got home... what?! This week?! On Thursday?!... yeah, I mean, what can I do?... okay... okay... bye."

Shelby's brows furrowed at the questions. Once Audrey hung up, she asked, "What did he say?"

"Remember the photoshoot I told you? They are shooting it on Thursday." The actress sighed, putting her phone aside as she lay back in bed.

Shelby wrapped her arms around her lover. "It's okay, babe. It won't ruin the day. After the shoot I'll take you out for dinner, or cook an amazing meal... with an amazing dessert afterwards."

Audrey smiled as she felt her nerves easing. She chuckled softly, smiling at her lover. "Okay."

Shelby pressed a gentle kiss to Audrey's lips. "And if I'll be in the way I can head over to the studio and see what's going on. Amanda keeps asking me to come in anyways. She said she thinks she found someone to be the fourth yoga instructor, but knows she can't hire anyone without my consent." She explained. "I would only be gone for an hour, or two at the latest."

Audrey smiled at the kiss, caressing her lover's back as she did so. "I don't mind you staying home, but I probably won't be able to give you the attention I'd like to... it's always a rush to take pictures, they want the perfect lighting, perfect hair, perfect everything... it's stressful." She explained.

"I can stay if you need me too, baby." Shelby said with a soft smile as she brushed her lover's hair away from her face and behind her ear. "It's up to you, babydoll."

"I think it'd be nice to have you around... just if it won't bother the things on the studio," Audrey said, hand going up to Shelby's hair, starting to play with it softly.

Shelby smiled softly, loving the feeling of her lover's fingers in her hair. "It won't. I'll just tell Amanda that I'm not coming in until next week, like I planned."

"Okay." Audrey smiled, her stomach starting to growl, causing her cheeks to blush. "Oops..."

Shelby let out a small chuckle. "Hungry, babe?" She teased with a small smile.

"A lot." The actress chuckled. "We'll have to order, though... there's nothing at home."

"Pizza or Chinese?" Shelby asked softly.

"Chinese." Audrey smiled sweetly, turning and grabbing her phone from the nightstand before turning again to her lover. "Here, Chinese is your thing." She chuckled.

Shelby smiled as she took her lover's phone. "Okay, thank you, baby." She said before dialing the number to her favorite Chinese restaurant. "Hello, it's Shelby Ross... yes, the usual. But add some wanton soup... okay, thank you." She said before hanging up.

Audrey watched as her lover talked on the phone, chuckling softly as she hung up. "The usual, huh? How fancy." She giggled.

Shelby laughed softly. "Yeah. They're right down the street from the studio and I order from there about three times a week. That's why I said my last name because if I said Tindall they might have been confused." She explained.
