Angie POV
After trying to enjoy the rest of our day of with Drew I found myself laying here wide awake staring at the ceiling while Drew slept soundly beside me.
I look over at him and watch his chest rise and fall with each breath he takes, and occasional gentle snore escaping his lips. I still felt terrible for not telling him straight away but that wasn't the only reason I couldn't sleep.
Getting out of bed I pull on a pair of shorts under the t shirt I'm wearing and grab my bag on the way out to the balcony. I slide the door so that it's open just a crack and then light up a cigarette taking a big drag and closing my eyes as I exhale.
"You know those things will kill ya" a familiar voice calls
"Yeah I know" I laugh "can't sleep either?" I ask Stephen, who was sitting on the balcony of his own room next door to ours
"Nah stuff on my mind" he says looking up to the sky
"Yeah ditto" I sigh "you know what I can't get my head around? The fact that he actually thought that I would cheat on him"
"Well in his defense our conversation would not have sounded good" he says
"That's true" I nod "but the fact that he doubted me that quickly, I mean I thought he trusted me and you"
"He does he just put two and two together and got five" he says trying to reassure me
"Maybe" I say "so what's troubling my favourite Irish man?" I ask
"Well first im the only Irish man you know" he laughs "and second nothings troubling me, I just have something on my mind"
Looking over at Stephen I noticed the small smile on his face and the way off look in his eyes.
"I think you mean some one" I say sitting down and placing my feet on the other spare chair "who is she?"
"Yeah some ones caught my eye" he smiles "she's the most amazing woman I have ever met, she's beautiful and she has this incredible long green hair" he says practically swooning
"Wait do you mean Esmee?" I ask "the backstage interviewer?"
"One and the same" he sighs "but a woman like that would never look twice at me"
"Stephen Farrelley don't sell yourself short" I say "You're kind, considerate, you're a good looking guy and any woman would be lucky to have you"
"You realise your opinion may be slightly biased right?" He laughs
"So what it's true" I laugh "next time you see her talk to her, ask her if she'd like to go for a drink"
"Are you out of your mind?" He gasps "she'd turn me down flat"
"Well you won't know unless you try" I say "you never know she might suprise you"
"And on that note I'm going to bed" he laughs standing up "I'll consider it, good night Angie"
"Night Stephen" I smile back.
Drew POV
When I turned over I had reached out for Angel only to find she wasn't there, looking round the room I notice the balcony door is open slightly and I get a faint smell of something and it's not her perfume.
Heading over to the door I step out on to the balcony to find her stood at the railings looking up at the stars, her arms resting on the rail with her hands hanging down.
Walking up behind her I wrap my arms around her and she leans back against me, then catch sight of her hand
"Are you smoking?" I ask
"Um yeah" she says tossing her cigarette off the balcony "I do it when I'm stressed"
"I thought we had sorted everything" I say kissing her neck
"Tell me something" she says turning in my arms and placing her hands on my chest "do you really think I would cheat on you?"
"No of course not" I sigh "I listened to you two talking and got the wrong idea"
"But you doubted me so quickly" she says "I thought you trusted me"
"I do Angel and I'm sorry I made you doubt that" I say pecking her lips "please forgive me"
"I forgive you" she says "but I need you to know that I would never do that to you, everything I need, everything I want is standing right here in front of me"
"I know and I'm a fool for thinking otherwise" I say "so why are you out here in the middle of the night?"
"Couldn't sleep, wanted to smoke" she shrugs "I actually ended up talking to Stephen, did you know he has his eye on someone?" She asks
"No I didn't not" I smile "let's get back into bed and you can tell me all about it"
Angel nods and we head back into the room, we get into bed and she immediately snuggles into my side.
"So do you know Esmee the backstage interviewer?" She asks and I nod
"Attractive lass, green hair, yeah I know her" I say
"Well Stephen likes her but he doesn't think she'd be interested" she says
"You're not thinking of playing match maker are you?" I laugh
"No, I've told him to talk to her, he said he would consider it" she says
"Good, let them come together on their own" he says "Whit’s fur ye’ll no go by ye"
"What does that mean?" She asks
"It's a Scottish saying it means, whats meant for you will not pass you by, if it's meant to be it will be" I smile
"That's beautiful" she says with smile before closing her eyes and falling asleep on my chest
