 The Lies Between Us

Eduard Carter – Cha Eunwoo

10 – Don't Be Sorry

Tait only let go of her hand when they reached his car. Her body guard sat in front with Yul.

He was out of it earlier. He didn't know what came over him and he reacted the way he did. It was kind of embarrassing but instead of pushing his feelings away, he owned up to it even admitting to Lis that he wanted to hold her hand. While there was tension in the air, he couldn't help himself to speak.

"What's parties like this one like?" He heard her ask. He was reminded again she's new to these things. Maybe parties she attended before were just parties with her model friends like Irene Kim.

"Well, for one there's a lot of old people." He started.

"Not some *doms preying for new actresses, I hope." She joked.

"There's a lot of those indeed. But you have m--....you have us. We got your back." He awkwardly patted her upper back. "The director usually meets with his actors first to see where our head's at. Since it's only been the first week of filming, I think everyone's in good shape." He added.

"Okay," she smiled relaxing her back on her seat.

Another wave of silence came through. He looked at the rear mirror and found Yul's suggestive eyes. Then his friend cleared his throat.

Tait knew it was a signal that he should keep the conversation going.

"Where do you think they're flying us off to?" He insisted on a new topic, "there's a high chance we'll do London but I'm counting on Perth."

"I could go either places, but I do have my hopes in London." She perks up.

"Why?"

She shrugs pouting a little. He noticed she does this a lot especially if she's excited.

"I know a place there in Elizabeth street. If you're into perfumes and instagrammable places that is..." He trailed off. He was on her instagram page before so he take it that she likes to go to aesthetic places.

"Elizabeth street?"

"Yeah, familiar?"

"I know that street from social media. I actually have been to London but never walked passed that street."

"Well I can take you there...I mean, I know a friend who owns a shop at Elizabeth street." He suggested, his hands going at the back of his neck.

"Oh, you don't have to. I mean, I know you'd be busy..." She pursed her lips.

"No, I insist. I'd be happy to tour you around."

Tait smiled when she avoided eye contact.

"Okay, but what about you? What makes you want to go to Perth?" She asks glancing on her window.

"Feels like New Zealand. There's more nature in Perth."

Her laughter followed. "Sorry, but it's still hard for me to believe that you survived the countryside."

Tait smiled at her comment. He thought he'll never stay that long in New Zealand too. He was never a fan of the simple life. He was used to the noise of the city. He thought it was impossible for him to even love nature but he was wrong and he underestimated himself.
