Mine

Chapter Twenty Nine

"Dave, come on. Wake up."

"No." I pull the blankets over my head and hear Dirk sigh.

"Fine I'll just eat breakfast by myself." I sit up and hurry to untangle my self from the blankets. I chase after Dirk into the living room where he's ordered food.

"I'm starving."

"Well I noticed you didn't eat when we were working on the cameras, and I imagine you didn't eat that morning. Did you get lunch?"

"Yeah."

"Good." I glance at Dirk and smile to myself. I love how he cares. He's always paying so much attention to me. I finish my breakfast and lay back on the couch. "Dave."

"I can hear the scowl in your voice."

"How? Scowling is a facial expression."

"But I can hear it in your voice."

"You're so weird."

"And don't you forget it." Dirk snorts and leans over the back of the couch.

"Come on, you gotta get going or you'll be late."

"Yeah I know." I get up and head to the room to change. I grab everything I need on the way out and head back to the living room. Dirk smiles at me, but it looks kind of sad. "What's wrong?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow, right after you leave."

"Oh." Dirk holds out the keys to me and I take them. "Do you have to go?"

"Yes."

"We can Skype every night, and text everyday."

"We're both going to be busy Dave. Just send me a message every now and then, and take care of yourself."

"Oh please I can take care of myself, but can you?" Dirk rolls his eyes and starts pushing me toward the door.

"You have to go, like now."

"I know, I know." I pull away from Dirk and start for the door, but before I get there I change my mind. I turn around and kiss Dirk. He tries to follow my lips when I pull away, but he's not fast enough. I hurry to the car and drive to set as fast as I can. I'm still early, but by only a few minutes. The first person I see is Andrew. I hurry out of my car before he can get to far away. "Hey."

"Oh hello Dave. Early again I see."

"Yeah. Uh what do you want me to do with the cameras?"

"You couldn't fix them?"

"No they're all fixed."

"What?" He deadpans.

"Uh I said they're all fixed."

"How? What'd you do take them somewhere?"

"No, my brother is really good with mechanics. I had him help me, er, teach me really."

"Huh. Well I guess put them back and I'll send a camera man to get them."

"Ok." Andrew walks off in the opposite direction and I bring the cameras to the room where they were before. After that's done I look around for Andrew. He said I could follow him around today. I wonder if I'll get to see him shoot some work. I actually don't know anything about this movie.

I finally find Andrew talking to a small group of people. Since he's talking I don't go right over to him, I wouldn't want to interrupt. He doesn't seem happy to talk to these people, and the same goes for them. Finally he turns away from them and starts walking toward me. At first it looks like they want to follow him, but they don't. "What's wrong?"
