The star of my code

Chapter 12: Fighting and listening

Celia's POV

"Colin?" Scarlett asked, apaparently surprised. What the hell is he doing here? I thought they were going to get divorce. How does he know about this?

She separates from me fast and readjust her dress, not like we did anything to make it look bad.

"Scarlett? What is going on here?" He asked, approaching her. I could feel Lizzie and Kate coming to my sides.

"What is going on here?" Kate whispered in my ear and I just shake my head without looking at her, my eyes locked in the scene that was taking place in front of us, in front of everyone.

"This is why you don't want to be with me? Because you like women now?!" He said looking hurt. Scarlett looks at me, confused, and then back to Colin.

"What? No, Colin, I-, she is just working with me now" Just working with me? Seriosuly. Lizzie takes my hand and comes closer to me.

"Well I don't dance like that with the people from SNL, Scarlett. God if the press finds out that you abandoned me for a woman" He said looking to his feet. I just want to punch him in the face and break his nose. Both Kate and Lizzie trying to calm me down.

"There's nothing to tell Colin because I have nothing with her. We drank a lot of champagne and we were dancing a bit. I think you perfectly know that I am a proffesional and I would never have anything with someone I work with, especially with a woman. She is just helping us with the webpage, nothing else, stop making up stories." And that felt like a stabbed in my heart. Especially with a woman, wow, I guess this is a fucking mess and that I was right.

"I fucking told you" I said angrily to Kate, abruptly realising myself from the grip they both had on me. I walked forward Colin, my eyes full of anger, I didn't even bother to look to Scarlett.

"There is nothing to worry about, mate. As soon as I finish my job here, I Will leave." I said and went to leave the building. When I was approaching the door, I see a man leaned on the Wall, but I'm not able to recognize him, since I was fighting very hard to not break in tears right here.

I crossed the door and went into the elevator. The first thing I did when I was finally in the Street was light a cigarette. I tried to avoid al the paparazzis and went to the back of the building.

Especially with a woman. Just someone I work with. So that's what I am to her, the person that is updating her webpage and that's it. Then why the hell did she bring her child to the office to be with me, why being so nice? All acting?

I repeated to myself that nothing could happen between us. But after talking with Lizzie, I had some hope, how the hell could I be that stupid.

Walking around what looked like a parking lot I light another cigarette. Without thinking I punch a recycling container that was there.

"Hey Celia, Celia" I Heard Kate saying, grapping my wrist and holding me into her.

"It's okay, it's okay honey." She said rubbing my back, tears finally releasing.

"I fucking told you. I'm just someone that Works with her, that's it. I don't even know why it hurts so much, we weren't anything!". I said, my voice crushing.

"She didn't mean anything she said, honey. She was scared."

"Scared of what?! It's her husband, nobody was going to attack her or anything"

"She has never been with a woman, Celia, she is trying to understand what she is feeling, okay? Imagine having to say outloud that you like a woman in front of that many people, especially being a celebrity."
