A week had passed since Marie had meet Dylan's friends and since Andrew had been at Dylan's house.
Marie kept her distance from them. Has the documents took up most of her time. The person who liked Dylan. Didn't seem to like Marie staying there. And she could tell this.

But Marie decided to ignore it. As she was only there for a few more weeks.
"There you are". Dylan said. He found her in one of his living rooms.
"Here I am. Reading the documents". Marie said.
"Are you ok? You seem to be a bit well". Dylan said.
"No I'm fine. But I don't think your friend likes me being here. Well I know she doesn't like me being here because I've  heard her say so". Marie said.
"Yeah I heard her as well and told her off about it. I'm sorry about that. They don't seem to I don't know, like it". Dylan said.
"In other words. She wants you to herself. And I'm in the way. Look if you need me to go out for a while so you two can do things like that. I will". Marie said.
"Wait you think I'm interested in her that way. Honest to god I'm not. If you notice I don't respond when she starts doing them things. But I did make it clear to her your welcome to stay here for as long has you like. And I made it more than clear to her. I'm not interested in her that way". Dylan said.
"Then why isn't she getting the message and Keeps acting like you and her are in some sort of relationship when your not?" Marie said.
"I don't know. I've limited my interaction with her and I don't reply to her messages". Dylan said.
"And she still hasn't got the message?" Marie said.
"No. I don't know why not. I've literally told her face to face. Me and her are just friends. And she doesn't seem to get it". Dylan said.
"Maybe someone needs to have a word with her. Or show her your not interested in her and nothing is ever going to happen". Marie said.
"Yeah. That's a good idea. I know you think some of my friends only put things up to get views or follows". Dylan said.
"Well yeah. And I'm not the only one. A lot of fans are staying the same. I'm sure you have read it all over twitter". Marie said. Dylan nodded.
"Yeah I've seen it". Dylan said.
"So what else do you have to sigh now?" Dylan said.
"A few more things. Bank accounts. Houses. There is a lot". Marie said.
"Wow. Blimey. They have a lot of accounts and homes?" Dylan said.
"Yep. Once the banks have been unfrozen the money can be sorted out and shared between us all. But that is going to take a while. Thank goodness it's balance transfers so won't be long. Just long enough". Marie said.
Looking up at him.

Marie felt bad for Dylan, he had a lot of friends which was good. But this one was getting a bit too much.
She hoped his friends would see this, and the more they posted the more fans thought they had rights to his private life.

Even though Marie and Dylan's lives was different they seem to under stand one another a lot.
She could tell how he was different when he was with his friends and with other people.
Marie had managed to sort out a lot of stuff, some of it was taking a bit more time due to the pandemic. But Marie under stood this.
She was sat with her iPad watching we'll listening to something on tv. Dylan was busy with some other things reading scripts and also is iPad. Marie looked up and watched him. He was in deep thought.
Looking at the time. She decided to try and get a bit of sleep.
Turning off her iPad and standing up. She walked to where Dylan was sitting.
"I'm going to go and get some sleep, my eyes are out of focus and well I'm sleepy. I will see you in the morning". Marie said.
"Erm yeah ok. What time is it?" Dylan said.
"Erm, 10pm but I'm tired. I need to sleep. So night". Marie said. She looked him and then walked off to her room. Putting her iPad on charge and getting into some different clothes. Getting into bed she laid down.
Her mind wandered to Dylan. She thought about him a lot lately. She liked him a lot more than she should. But she didn't know if he liked her or if he only saw her as a friend. But right now, she decided not to think about it and go to sleep.

Living with him being just the two of them often made it difficult, sometimes. But He was easy to get along with. And they would speak about things. Both respecting each other's views on things. They did have a lot in common even though they had totally different lives.
Marie reached for her iPod and put her head phones in listening to her music as she fall a sleep.

Dylan sat at his table going over some stuff plus on his iPad. His phone was by his side as he got a text from his friend. He picked it up and read it.

Sam:
Hi mate. Tomorrow we r having a little get together at mine. U up for it? Thought u could do with a break. What you say?

Dylan:
Yeah ok for a hours. But I do have scripts to read.

Sam:
It's a few hours. Plus ideal for catch up with friends. U seem to spend a lot of time with Marie. Thought a change would do u good.

Dylan:
I like spending time with Marie, she's nice and easy to talk too. She's nice. And she's my house guest of course I'm going to be spending time with her.

Sam:
Ok what about Eli?

Dylan:
I'm not interested in her. I've told this to her time and time again. Even Marie has notice she doesn't seem to get it. That I'm not liking her like the way she likes me. I only see Eli as a friend even u know I've limited my contact with her. So please don't say she is going to be there. As if she is I'm not going to be.

Sam:
Wow. Man. I'm sorry I didn't realise u had made it clear even more to her. If ur not interested ur not interested.
But yes she probably will be. But u can keep your distance. It will be ok.

Dylan :
We will c. If she starts I will leave. I will see you tomorrow.

Dylan signed as he put his phone down. His friend knew the situation. He was hoping maybe his friends would speak to her. Looking at the time Dylan decided to go and get some sleep.
Passing Marie's room he opened the door. She was fast a sleep in her bed. Closing the door and going to his own room.
Once he was in bed he laid there thinking about Marie for a while. Before getting some sleep.
He knew the little get together tomorrow night wouldn't end well. He thought about asking Marie to go with him.
