Lustful Dreams
Chapter 18

The day had come and gone and Katherin still hadn't heard from Tyler. It wasn't like him to give up this easily. She stood up from her desk, grabbing her briefcase and heading out of her office. Nina was already outside smoking a cigarette, "those things are gonna kill you some day." Nina blew smoke in her direction and she waved it away. "Well if these don't kill me the having sex with Jon will. Good lord the stamina that man has, I might need to go back to the gym." Nina was fanning herself and Katherin laughed. "Yeah maybe I should too, don't wanna get outta shape." They walked to their cars, "hey you ever see Tyler today?" Katherin shook her head, "he didn't even call so I'm not going to. I do need to tell Norman though. Don't need Tyler doing anything stupid." "Good call, Norman is a good guy, the best aside from Jon. Don't need to ruin things because Tyler feels bad about how he treated you." Katherin thought back to their breakup, he'd moved from Florida to New York for Ink Master, they'd stayed in touch and eventually he'd asked her to move and be with him. Of course she excepted and they'd gotten a place together. The show had begun and he'd been made to stay there instead of home. A bond between him and a fellow ink master had formed. Katherin had come home early from work, going to make him dinner when she walked in on them having sex in their bed. She'd just stood there, a stranger in her own house, Tyler buried balls deep in her. She had walked away after that, cheating was crossing the line and there was no going back after that. Once a cheater always a cheater. "Hello?" Nina was waving her hand in front of her face, "sorry must have spaced out again." She did that more than she'd like to admit. "So when are you seeing Jon again?" Katherin asked trying to change the subject. "Not sure, he said he wanted to see me again but that's just a line until he proves it." Katherin got into her car and started it, "when are you seeing Norman?" Katherin tilted her head, it had been all day and she hadn't heard anything from him. "Uh, not sure he didn't call or anything today." She said I'm a sad voice, "I'm sure he's just busy is all babe. Let me know, see you tomorrow." "Bye girl!" Nina waved and drove away, Katherin checked her phone but not one single call from him. She sighed and drove away, it was only 4:30 but it seemed later. She thought maybe she should call him but she didn't want to see too needy. Katherin pulled into her driveway, dreading going into the house alone. She'd been with Norman this whole week and now she just felt alone. Walking up to the door there was a pink rose in the latch of the screen door. She smiled and lifted it to her nose, they were her favorite.... she stopped. She hadn't told Norman that yet... only Tyler and Nina knew that. She tossed the flower behind her. Looking all around before opening the door and hurrying inside, locking it behind her. He had been here, if not inside the house at least he'd been outside, he'd left that rose. Tyler was not use to people blowing him off, she sighed and leaned against the door. Her heart beating fast, so loud she could hear it in her ears. Nothing inside looked out of place, just her usual things. Katherin took her boots off and headed to her room, striping off her work clothes and getting into some sweats and a T-shirt. She needed to call him, see how he was and tell him about Tyler.. she jut figured he would have called.

Norman pulled the door open, after talking to Helena and Mingus he'd taken and shower and headed to his meeting. They needed to talk about the new season of TWD, season 6 would begin filming soon and that was always a busy season for him. Took time away from his son, and now it would take time away from Katherin. He smiled at people going back and forth with their day, working hard as usual. He knocked on the conference room and Greg motioned him inside, "hey buddy thanks for coming." Greg said motioning for him to take his seat, the rest of the cast members where already there. Usually he'd be friendly and kiss at least a few of them but it didnt feel right now. He just wanted to get this over with and talk to Greg, he needed to call Katherin but after his talk with Helena he felt shitty. He needed to tell her about it, and also about her meeting Mingus. It was a big step and they'd only been seeing each other for less than a week. But it had seemed like months. "Uh Norman you okay?" Andy asked giving him a smile. "Oh yeah just need come caffeine." Norman smiled back and got up to get him a cup before taking his seat again. "Okay this season is going to be the biggest one yet. We start filming next week in Senoia and we have many things to do." Greg started his speech, Scott Gimple sitting beside him, always smiling, excited for this season and to his left the always beautiful Gale. Best producers he'd ever worked with. Robert Kirkman was also here. "Our first episode will be huge, so much to do and I want you guys to be ready. Our biggest season!" Scott said and everyone clapped, this show had been a number one hit. Best show on television. They took turns talking about the first episode, Norman pretend like he was listening but he really just wanted to speak to Greg and leave. Was it too soon for Katherin to meet Mingus? It seemed like he had known her for a long time. They hadn't even established if they were a couple or not. Tapping his foot and waiting for the meeting to ensure, "okay guys thanks again for coming, we meet in a few days to discuss this further." Everyone got up and said goodbye to him, Melissa and Danai giving him a hug. "Hey Norm, everything okay?" Greg asked, noticing that he hadn't left yet. "Oh yeah everything is good. Hey I wanted to ask you a question if you have a minute." Greg put down his stack of papers and leaned against the table, "okay shoot." "Mingus is gonna be here this weekend, was wondering if I could get a pass or two so he can come on set with me." Norman didn't mention Katherin yet. "Oh of course, haven't seen him in a while. Hows he doing?" "Oh good, just busy with school, wanna spend some time with him before we start filming. He loves the show." Greg smiled, "well that's what we want to hear. Uh who is the other pass for? You said two..." Norman blushed, "yeah just a friend of mine, trying to get her interested in the show." Greg grinned at him, "Oh a friend huh?" His wiggled his eyes and Norman laughed. "Yeah met her recently and I think it would be good for her to be involved if that's cool." "Of course it is, friends are always welcome. Come to think of it, Mingus should have been on set before now." "Yeah he's been busy but thanks for this. Ill see ya in a few days." Greg waved and Norman walked out, smacking into Andy. "Whoa, sorry man didn't see you there." Norman said trying to regain his balance, "no problem Norm, wanted to see if we could catch up." Norman had to smile, he was glad Andy had become such a good friend. "Oh yeah but just a minute, got some stuff to do." They walked outside and he lit a cigarette, "so what's up man? Hows Gael?" Andy grinned, he never passed up the chance to talk about her. "She's good, dreading us filming again. Doesn't like me being so busy." "Yeah Mingus is like that also, he's coming in this weekend." "Oh that's good man, Helena coming too?" Andy gave him that look, he knew that Helena and him had kept in contact after their split. "Oh she wanted to but I'm not doing that with her anymore. Got someone else I've been seeing." "Oh that's great man, hope Helena isn't gonna have a problem with that." Norman stubbed out his cigarette and sighed, "I hope it doesn't go that way but you never know with her. Thanks for the chat but I gotta get going." Norman gave Andy a quick hug, "you too, call me soon. We'll all have dinner sometime." "I will, thanks man." Norman said and walked to his car. He needed to go see Katherin, his heart beating faster than normal the whole way to her house. This could only be a good sign but they did need to talk about what they had together.
