Lost

Partners in Crime once more

Patrick's Pov

I've been at work for two months now, and things are going well, better than I thought actually. Ellen and I are finally back to normal, we're partners in crime once again. Chris and I are friendly around each other, and I think I've finally excepted the fact that he has more scenes with Ellen now, and I'm finally okay with it. I would like to go to the next level in my relationship with Ellen, although I don't know if she's ready. Even though I'm a divorced guy with kids, and I'm single again, I'll wait until she's ready to go to the next level. I won't push her.

I looked at her from an angle, I watched as her honey blonde hair flew out as the wind flew through it. Her emerald green eyes shined as the sun hit her eyes, it was beautiful, she is a work of art.

She turned around just as I looked down at the floor to hide my eyes.

"Patrick, what are you looking at? What makes the floor so interesting?"

I look up just as her emerald green eyes flash at me.

"You. You're a work of art Ellen." I say smiling.

"You're rediculous Patrick."

I shake my head smiling. "No, no I'm not. I'm in love with you."

She blushes a deep shade of red, but tries to hide it. "You're crazy Patrick. I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything, this is a great moment."

"Alright, ten minutes until filming!" Shonda shouts wreaking the moment.
"You're kidding me Shonda, this was just a beautiful moment, and you wreaked it!" I say slightly annoyed.
"It's okay Patrick, this moment will continue if you come to my house tonight."

"Ellen, I can't, I have racing. We have to practice and be in tip top shape before Le Mans. But tomorrow I can. I don't have practice then." I say. "Okay, well, I'll see you tomorrow then. Since we don't have any scenes together today and you practically have the whole day with Chris." I say kissing her cheek.
"Okay, bye. I love you." Ellen says.

I step out of the trailer and walk towards my scene with my scrubs on. Today I have the whole day with Sandra Oh. She's a great actress and she's really funny. Other than Ellen, she's my favorite actress that's on this show.

"So, how's Dempeo Patrick?"
Sandra asks. "What? What's Dempeo?" I ask. "It's what the fans call you and Ellen." Sandra says. "I can't believe this, we have an actual name?" Sandra looks at me like I'm crazy. "You didn't know? Holy crap! Oh my god Patrick, you're so clueless!" She exclaims. "I'm sorry." I say calmly. "It's okay buddy. But I do know that you're in love with
Ellen." She says. "Who else knows." I ask curiously. "Almost everyone on set! Seriously Patrick, you can't keep a secret. That or you would have to talk very quietly and not let anyone hear you." Sandra says and turns to me.

"Hey Pat, it's your birthday soon right?" Sandra asks. "Yes, in about seven days, a week." I say. "Are you going to do anything for it?" Sandra asks. "Look, I don't know, I really like the backstreet boys, and they're coming to LA, but I can't afford a ticket." I say. I fold my arms over my chest, momentarily thinking about my birthday. But the fact that my mother was sick, and she has cancer made me sad, but no, I can't cry in front of Sandra.

Five hours later I drive home, leaving the kids with Jillian and let myself in the house. I laid down on the couch and watched racing until I fell asleep.
