Blessed By Reedus | Prequel to Claimed By Reedus

|Chapter Forty Three|

"What did he say to you?" I asked confused even though I could probably guess what was said. Norman cups my face in his hands before giving me a faint smile. While I'm waiting for him to say something I continue to try and find an answer within his expression. "He never told you, did he?" I frown as he says this because, even if I'm right I would rather hear it from him than Charlie. "Norman just say it, I can probably guess what it is" I say slightly annoyed because I don't see why he's delaying it. 

"I'll let you say it first, let you guess" Norman pulls away from me and leans on the kitchen counter with his arms crossed. I sigh and do the same on the side I'm on, "He has a crush on me, so what? Jason likes me and so does Jon. What makes Charlie the main culprit here?" I say as I cock my head to the side. Norman shakes his head and shifts from one leg to the other, "Jason is an asshole, who will never accept the fact your someone else's. Jon was too stupid to leave you for Lily, that's his problem. Charlie, you can see that he is way too close for comfort and I don't know why you don't see that". 

I scoff before throwing my hands in the air. "Well, I don't see a problem with Charlie, Jon nor Jason. Charlie is a really sweet guy and I only see him for filming Sons and The Walking Dead, I can't see why you find that a problem? Either way Reedus, do you really think I will replace you with someone else after all this time?" A smile grows across his face before comes forward a bit and grabs my hand to pull me closer to him. I put my arms around his neck before gently tugging on his bottom lip, Norman pulls away slightly before cupping my face in his hands and brushing his lips, softly with mine.

"I love you" He whispers before kissing me. "I love you too Reedus" I reply back before breaking the kiss and heading into the other room. Just before I turn the corner, I look back over to Norman, who is pouting because I walked away and left him standing there. I just stick my tongue out at him before proceeding forward into the living room, which was only Carlos there. Charlie must have left, which makes me retrieve my phone from my back pocket of my jeans. But as I go to unlock my phone Carlos places his hand over my hands and the phone. 

"I think it's best you didn't do that, he's already all over the place" Carlos says this in almost a whisper, I just scoff before removing my hands and phone from underneath his. "Carlos, I need to talk to him. God knows what you two have said to him. After all this is all over me, it's the least thing I can do" I whisper back to him which then Carlos' expression changes drastically, it goes all serious and protective like always. "Gemma, give it a day's break before going to speak to him" This time around it was serious and snappy, sometimes there will be times where you just have to sit back and wait for days to pass. 

--------------------------------------------------------

Few days have passed and between me and Charlie. Silence has fallen, when all the cast is talking amongst each other. Me and Charlie are the only ones that don't communicate with each other, what ever happened that day with Norman has definitely changed the way our friendship goes from now on. "Is it me or are you two not talking?" Ryan asks me as comes and stands beside me which makes me slightly jump. "Oh it's not you, something happened and now I'm definitely fucked" I reply back and cross my arms in front of my chest, "May I ask what went on?" Ryan was trying his best to tread on the right stepping stones which is what I've probably been doing since day 1. 

"Even though I didn't hear it from him, Charlie has a crush on me. Norman obviously found out and god knows what was said between them after I left because look at it all now" I answer his question before looking up at him. "Wow, I didn't see that one coming. He told me that he told you about it, obviously not" Ryan slightly chuckles after this before giving me a hug and walking away, which I do shortly after. Heading back to stylist chair, Tommy walks beside to the entrance. "Keep in there Gem, things will soon improve" I give him a small smile before he kisses my cheek and heads in the opposite direction.
