Kate's new assistant

Forgotten

(Emilia's P.O.V)

The remainder of the week at work seemed to go on forever. My relationship with Kate hadn't really changed, except now there was no kissing or anything of the sort. There was no denying our chemistry was electric and that flame could never burn out. It was Saturday night and as per usual, we were hanging out in her dressing room. I was so excited for after the show as tonight was the night Kate had planned a surprise for me. She hadn't mentioned it since our fight but I knew what she was like, she's trying to throw me off the scent! "Have I told you how pretty you look tonight?" Kate said. I was wearing black skinny jeans with red heels and a red blouse with a black blazer. I'd tried to make an effort for Kate tonight. I may still be upset but I can't even think about leaving her. She came and perched herself on the couch next to me. I couldn't help but lean into her, letting my head slightly rest on her shoulder. She lightly placed a kiss on the top of my head and the butterflies just seemed to overcome my stomach. We sat for a minute, enjoying the serenity of the moment. It was moments like this that I couldn't wait for us to spend tonight together for whatever Kate had planned.

*a few hours later*

Another Saturday night, another show done, another Saturday of sitting in awe at Kate. I went to her dressing room and knocked on the door. She shouted for me to come in. I embraced her in a hug "Faultless, as per usual!" I whispered in her ear. She seemed disengaged, like something else was on her mind. "Hey" I held her chin, "are you okay? You don't seem yourself?" I asked. I was worried maybe she was having second thoughts about us. "Oh, i'm fine. Just overanalysing my performance in the show, the same as every week" she squeezed my hand. I hoped she was okay. "I'll see you at the after party. Go ahead with Leslie and i'll catch you guys up" I was confused, had she really forgotten about our evening together? "Oh, er yeh of course, I'll see you there" I left, puzzled. 

I'd been there about 40 minutes but Kate still wasn't there. Just like that, I got a text. [Kate: Decided to head home, tired. See you Monday x] SEE YOU MONDAY? TIRED? She really had forgotten about me, about our surprise. Fine, if that's the way she wanted it, I wasn't gonna let her ruin my evening. "I'll have 3 shots of vodka please" I asked the barman. He looked slightly worried but gave me them anyway. One after the other I knocked them back, cursing Kate under my breath so her colleagues wouldn't hear. I decided this wasn't the place to get drunk, so I left and went to a bar a few blocks from Kate's apartment. I had far too much to drink, especially by myself. It was now 1AM and I decided I wasn't gonna let Kate leave me like this. How had she done this? I was gonna confront her. I decided to walk to get some fresh air.

As I got nearer to her apartment, I saw pink balloons with little notes attatched paving the way to her block. I picked them up but in my intoxicated state, couldn't read what they said. I pressed the buzzer to her apartment, she answered but didn't say anything. "KATE, YOU B B BETTER LET ME INN" I stuttered, she knew I was wasted. She buzzed me in. I stumbled up to her apartment and banged on the door. Suddenly, the door opened, Kate was dressed all pretty in  beautiful red lingerie and her apartment was lit by candlelight with rose petals covering the floor.

"Surprise" she whispered.
