His Biggest Fan

Untitled Part 17

I hug my cell phone and sigh.  My sister looks at me like if I’ve gone crazy.  “Who was that?”  She asks smiling.

“Ian,” I show her the text and she raises an eyebrow, “you are in so much trouble sis.”  She says smirking.

I guess she’s right, if he doesn’t love me I will be in trouble.  My heart will break into a million pieces and I might never recover.  If he does love me I will be the happiest human being on the planet.  I will make him utterly happy and I know he will make me happy.

The days fly by, Ian and me keep in contact via text and cell phone.  Sometimes we email each other and Direct Message one another on twitter.  He has been really busy shooting The Vampire Diaries.  He works twelve hours a day sometimes.  He gets out sometimes at three or four in the morning.  Plus he does phone interviews and keeps himself busy with his foundation.  I know he has a lot in his plate.  I truly admire that about him, how is so responsible with his work and his fans.  I understand and support him fully.

One day he calls me at two in the morning my time and I was already asleep.  He missed me and he wanted to hear my voice.  I was so happy that I didn’t care about sleeping.  We stayed up talking for hours.  I kept telling him to rest but he insisted on chatting away.  Finally we said our good nights.  It was the best talk we’ve had in a while.  A couple of days later he calls around the same time and we end up messing around on the phone.  Phone sex is fun.  I had a lot of fun that night.

I’m at my sister’s house swimming in her pool.  It is a bright sunny day for swimming and my sister invited me to her house.  I can’t believe it’s almost two weeks and Ian is coming this weekend.  I missed him so much.  I tried to keep busy most of the time.  But when I would get home from work the emptiness would hit me like a ton of bricks.  I was very sad without him.  When he called though I wouldn’t let him know how bad It got for me.  I didn’t want him to worry about me at work.  I wanted him to be one hundred percent worry free and fully concentrated at the task at hand.  He needs me to support him and encourage him when he’s down.  I think I did great if I say so myself.

“When does he come back?”  My sister asks as we splash around in the pool.

“He comes back this weekend.  We talked two day ago and he said he should arrive Sunday.  But he will confirm me today.”  I say as I splash her face.

We both laugh and splash each other.  I hear someone coming from the side of the yard.  My brothers come in to the back yard and Robert is walking behind them.

“Hey sis, we are watching the game here today.  Is your husband home yet?”  My older brother asks my sister.

“No not yet,” we both start to splash our brothers and they quickly walk into the house.  Robert just stares at me as he walks in after them.

“What’s up with Robert?  Did you see the way he was looking at you?”  She asks half smiling.

“I didn’t tell you what he did when Ian was here.”  I say.

She leans in closer, “No, what happened?”  She asks.

“He told me that he wasn’t over me and that he wanted me back.”  I say in a low voice.

She opens her mouth in shock, “I knew it.  I just knew he still loved you.”  She nods.

“I don’t love him.  He tried to kiss me and I dropped the coffee and it splashed my feet burning me.  Ian came in and Robert and him wanted to fight one another.”  My sister gasps, “I quickly controlled the situation and asks Robert to leave.  Ian was so mad and I wanted to hide myself under a rock.”  I finally say.

“I can’t believe all that happened and you didn’t even say anything to me.”  She furrows her eyebrows.

“I’m sorry, with everything that’s happened I clearly forgot.  But seeing Robert brought it all back to me.”  I pout.

My hands are all pruney and I decide to go into the house and shower.  I climb out of the pool and wrap a big towel around myself and slip into my sandals.  I make my way into the house and my brothers and Robert are watching the game in the living room.  I walk  past them avoiding eye contact with Robert and head up the stairs into my sister’s room and into her bathroom.  I grab my clothes from the top of her bed and take them in the bathroom.  I turn on the warm water and climb into the shower.

I remember that I left my cell phone downstairs in the living room.  What if Ian calls?  I should’ve brought it in here with me.  I quickly shower and climb out and dry myself as fast as possible.  I put on my shorts and my shirt and wrap a towel on my head.  I make my way down the stairs fast.  I grab my cell phone from the coffee table and look to see if I had any missed calls.  My brothers are too into the game to notice me but Robert doesn’t take his eyes off me.

I yank the towel from my hair and walk outside to my sister.  She is taking some sun and she’s lying across a pool lounge chair.  “Ian hasn’t called, I’m a little worried.”  I say to her.

“Did he say when he was calling?”  She asks.

“He said today but no he didn’t say what time.”  My brow creases.

“You are being paranoid sis.  He will call when he’s not busy.”  She says smiling.

“I guess you are right,” I sigh and relax.

That night I stayed up waiting for him to call and he didn’t call.  The next day I didn’t leave my cell out of my sight but he didn’t call.  I went into twitter and no messages or updates from him.  I checked my emails and none from him.  I didn’t want to call him.  I always waited for his calls and texts.  What if he is doing a scene or talking to the director and I call to interrupt.  I respected his job too much to do that.  I decided to wait for his call.  It was only Wednesday after all.  Maybe he got really busy and he is afraid to call me to cancel on this weekend.  I would completely understand if he had to work, I hope he knows that.  Wednesday turned into Thursday and then Friday.  He didn’t call or email or text, he hasn’t updated anything on his twitter or facebook.  It is strange to me but I still have hope that all of this is a misunderstanding.  He is a very busy man and I just have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I’m at the work and thankfully we are very busy.  I love keeping busy it will keep my mind occupied.  The weekends are always our busiest and the day is running along smoothly.  I’m in my office waiting on my next client when my sister comes in.  She looks pale and out of breath.

“Hi sis, I didn’t know you were coming.  What’s going on?”  I ask.

She sits in the chair across from my desk and tosses three magazines in front of me.

“What’s this?”  I ask grabbing one and as I see the cover I slowly sit back into my chair.  I couldn’t believe what I was reading and seeing.  There was Ian with his ex girlfriend on the cover.  In bold letters it says, “Ian back together with his Ex.”  There’s a big picture of him holding hands with her while crossing the street.  I look at the other magazines and they are both in every cover.

I begin to shake and I feel sick to my stomach.  My tears begin to flow down to my cheeks.  My sister quickly moves around my desk and embraces me.  “I’m sorry sis, please don’t cry he is not worth it.”  She murmurs.

I quickly stand and I get dizzy, my sister helps me back into my chair.  “Eliana you can’t work like this.  I’m taking you home so you can rest.”  She says taking me by my arm.
