Ellen is staying at a hotel.
————————————————————————————

I looked around the room and realised that I had absolutely nothing to wear. My stuff was all over the place and I had just sent out a hole load of laundry to the cleaners. Most of my clothes were still at the house, but I didn't feel like heading over there today. Stella was at school and Chris would be home.

Ever since our seperation a few weeks ago we had barely spoken unless it involved Stella. He was mad at me for suggesting this seperation and I knew it. It just hadn't been working lately. I knew in my heart it was because I wasn't in love with him and I was sick of the pretending. And ever since I watched my best friend Patrick leave his marriage, I had been wondering if I should do the same. Because the truth was that the time I spent on and off set with Patrick had more laughter and excitement than my marriage ever had. So I decided that me and Chris should at least try to be apart for some time. And I was thriving without him.
I had more time to focus on my work and friends. The only downside was that I didn't get to see Stella as much, but I needed to priorities my own happiness too.

But now I was standing here in my hotelroom without anything to wear. I had one dress, that to be honest was too fancy for a day on set but it would have to do since there was no way I was starting this day arguing with Chris.
I found a bra but I could not for the life of me find a clean pair of panties.
'Whatever the dress is not that short.' I said to myself and decided to go without. I mean I was going to be in scrubs for most of the day anyways.

Thirty minutes later I arrived on set. It was early and really quiet. Me and Patrick had the first scene of the day in an OR so there was just some extras on set and a few people from the filming crew.
As I made my way towards my trailer I felt just how tired I really was. Sleeping in a hotel is not as comfortable as in your own bed.

"Ellen!" I heard a voice behind me as I was about to enter my trailer. I turned around and saw Patrick coming up towards me with a smile on his face. "I thought you might want some coffee this morning." He continued before I could say hello and he held up two cups of starbucks coffee.
I smiled hard at him. He was truly perfect in every way. "Hi Patty. Oh thank you. You have no idea how much I needed this." I said as I took the coffee from him. I could see that he was eyeing me up and down and I guess he noticed that I was a little overdressed for work. "Well aren't we looking hot today." He said with his McDreamy smirk and I couldn't help but to smile. His flirty remarks had increased since he found out I was seperated from Chris. I didn't want to read too much into it. He was probably just feeling like he wouldn't have to hold back on his dirty jokes now. "Well I don't have many clothes at the hotel so it was this or go naked." I said turning around and walking into the trailer, he followed.
"Well I vote naked." Patty said and I hit him playfully on his shoulder.
"Perv!" I gave him a grin though cause he was so adoreble standing there pouting because I hit him.

We sat on the couch discussing the day while drinking our coffee. After a while I felt him looking down towards my legs and I suddenly became very aware of the fact that I wasn't wearing any underwear. "Hey! My eyes are up here." I told him and he laughed. "Well you show up to work in a dress like that Ellen... it's not really fair."
I know he always flirted a lot but this time it was just something in the way he said it that send a chill down my spine. Like we weren't just friends messing around but that he were actually attracted to me right now. 'He couldn't be hitting on me right?'
NO. No of course he wasn't. I was just overthinking things and the feeling in me is probably from the lack of sex lately.
