Joining Ghostbusters 2

More bread please....

I rush in and jump in the shower and freshen up for tonight.

Throw my hair in a bun and a simple red wrap dress that I dont need to iron and some wedges and wait for Kate and Les out the front. While I wait I scroll through the photos and video Marie took. Im enthralled and so happy that my idea has come to fruition. I keep scrolling and start a video of me turning in the mirror with the long wig. Its hard to focus in between everyone in the video I try to zoom in then all of a sudden someone jumps on me from behind and grabs me around the shoulders and hangs on. I loose my balance a bit as I scream but manage to hold both of us up.
"What the! OOHH KATE! YOU SCARED ME TO DEATH!" I move my arm to her waist as I help her down.

Kate grabs my face and pulls me in for a long kiss.

"I told you she would mess herself! You never listen to me man!" Leslie strolls up behind Kate "Im sorry Robyn I told her to be careful - we saw you from down the street smiling and Kate said I'm gunna get her and then she was gone! I couldnt catch her! She too quick for me man"

"Thats alright Leslie, i'll get her back one day" I say glaring at Kate. "I AM STARVED! Where are we going?"

"Just two blocks down this way" Kate says as she grabs my hand and gives it a peck and leads us to dinner.

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

We sit and sip on our drinks and chat. Well Leslie and Kate chat a bit while I scoff down on bread. They notice and slowly stop chatting and just watch me pick up the crumbs and eat them. When I look up I see to two concerned faces.

"What!?"

They say nothing and just hand me their rolls then continue on chatting about their day with the read through and come up with different ideas for each take.

I slow down on the bread and take in what they are saying, remembering techniques for my scenes in a few weeks.

"So how was wardrobe and makeup today? Did you enjoy it?" Leslie asks including me into the conversation now that Ive finished all the bread in sight.

"I loved it! Bringing every thought I had together at once was mind blowing when I stepped in front of the mirror!"

"SHOW US YOUR PICS!" Kate yells excitedly then realises how loud she was and looks around to the other patrons "I said PICS not TITS!"

Leslie and I burst out laughing.

"Thats the best laugh I have had all day!" I grab Kate's arm.

Kate grabs that hand and squeezes "I need to see those pics!"

"Ahhh no! I want it to be a reveal when we are filming! I want that reaction in the scene to be real"

"Good idea" Leslie asserts as dinner is set down by the waiters.

Kate pouts and starts to eat.

I tap my glass as I wait for my pasta to cool "I hate these fake nails, never got used to them" I continue to tap

"You not a lipstick lez then?" Leslie asks mouth full of food

Kate kicks her under the table

"What! im your wingman still" Leslie fires back.

"Ha.. no. I dont think about labels too much but I was very sporty and climbed trees and rode through the bushland growing up - so you could say I was a tomboy" I begin to twirl my pasta and take a bite and close my eyes finding heaven just fell into my mouth.

Kate fills up our glasses with more wine "Interesting"

"But thats just the Australian way I figured, maybe I was just wrapped up in my own lil world. Sport was like an escape for me - a release of pent up emotions. And being outdoors and by myself in nature was a way to recharge and just be myself" I explained as I sipped on the fresh wine.

"Thats cool!" Leslie said finishing her meal and picking up her glass

Kate picked up her glass too and toasted "To escaping and finding yourself" as she held my hand and gave it one little squeeze.

As we went to leave some teenagers came up to us and asked for a picture. They put the iphone in my hand as soon as Leslie said "Sure but quickly". I took a few photos and handed the phone back.

Kate then grabbed my hand as we left the restaurant. I thought I saw a flash and we turned but we didnt see anyone looking our way.

"Well I'll catch a cab and see you tomorrow Kate and Robyn I guess I will see you at the read through with Chris on Wednesday" Leslie boomed as she stepped out to the curb hailing a taxi.

"OK - Thanks for tonight!" I waved with my one free hand and we turned to head back to my apartment.

Kate was quiet and subdued for a few hundred metres.

"Everything ok?" I ask

"Yeah - Im just wondering if anyone took a photo of us back there?" she said softly

"Is it a problem if they did?"

"I just hate my privacy being invaded like that. I mean I'm out with my girlfriend and best friend and having a lovely night and now all I can think about is that photo!" Kate blurted out quickly

All I flagged from that rush was girlfriend. I stop in my tracks and pull Kate around to face me.

"Girlfriend!?" I say with hope and intrigue "Its only been a couple of days and we havent had that much time together really - are you sure?"

"Absolutely - every free thought that I have, is of you. I feel this connection that I have struggled to find but now I have found it I don't want to lose it. I feel that with you and I want to make this connection last forever"

My heart melts and knees go weak

"No one has ever made me feel like this simply by being near me, I feel this connection to and I am so glad that I have only had it until now, with you." I say as i step in closer to Kate pleading with my eyes for her to kiss me.

"So - I am yours - and you are mine" Kate says as she leans in slowly pressing her lips on mine.

Our hands let go of each other and hold each other closer. Kate's hand finding my lower back and sliding lower and lower and begins to grab my ass. She squeezes it hard enough for me to jump and break our kiss

"KATE!" I yell "You just ruined a sweet moment! You cant just grab my ass like that in public"

"Well you have a sweet ass and its my ass now!"

"You are a lil shit" I say and grab her hand and pull her towards my apartment

"I'm you're lil shit now!" Kate says grabbing my arm and leaning into me.
