Why didn't you tell me?

Finest wine

All eyes were on them. Emilia taking a seat next to Nathalie, well, she was actually pulled down by Nathalie, to sit down. Emilia trying her best to not be bothered by this entire satiation. His heart was pounding. He didn't know whether to lean forward and kiss the side of her face or say 'hello' and sit down next to Emilia. He decided to go with the first choice. Kit then plonked himself next to Peter, inhaling his glass of wine, taking a deep breath as he sat down. "Well, how the hell are we?" he heard his director ask, trying to break the stone cold awkwardness. Kit shook his head and stood. "Can I talk to you? Now, please?" He asked. Dave saw the uncertainty in his eyes and nodded his head. "Dan, can you come?" he asked as he then turned to face him. "Yeah sure Kit. Now?" Dan asked as he placed his glass in front of him. Kit nodded his head. "Yeah now, over there" he said as he pointed at an empty space, a few feet away from their table. Emilia looked up at Kit and he looked down at her quickly as he passed her. His hand, caressing the top of her shoulder. "Please, carry on without us" Dave said as he followed their lead actor. Rose stood and followed them out too. The rest of the cast, breaking out into their own conversations. Emilia saw that Rose was following Kit and went to stand. Nathalie put her hand on her best friend's thigh, and shook her head. "Leave them" she whispered. "They've got shit to sort out, apparently" she said as she looked back at the four of them, who had made a circle and was in deep conversation. Emilia had to remind herself that no one knew of the relationship and love she had for Kit. She had to remember that to them, her co-stars, Rose and Kit were still together. They also had a history of melt-downs, so this was not new to the Game of Thrones cast at all. Nathalie observed the way Emilia was looking back at them. Emilia then realised that she was staring. She turned to Nathalie, smiled and asked her what was happening. Nathalie shook her head. "I have no idea" she whispered as she poured the both of them another glass of wine. "All I know is that there is definitely trouble in paradise" she said as she looked up at Sophie. "Right?" Sophie said as she nodded. "She was here when we got here" she said as she looked at Maisie. Lena nodded her head. "Come on guys!" she called. "It's none of our business. Let's just enjoy tonight and prepare ourselves for the premier tomorrow! Season seven is here!" She said as she raised her glass. The rest of the cast raising theirs, smiling, laughing and enjoying each other's company. Emilia smiling at her co-stars, her mind on Kit, wondering what the fuck they were talking about...

"No, no I'm not doing it" he said as he crossed his arms. "I'm sorry, I wish things were different. But they're not" he said as he shook his head. "Kit" Dave said as he looked between him and Rose. "I told you months ago when the shit hit the fan in Spain that you needed to get this under control. We are a night away from our premier, you can't spring this on the cast, on the fans right now. If news gets out of your separation, the tabloids will have a field day! "I don't give a shit about the tabloids" he said as he looked at the three of them. "I love her" he said as he pointed in the direction of their table full of cast members. "I'm not going to disrespect her, by pouncing around on the red carpet just to make 'good headlines' he said clearly. "I'm sorry Rose. I've told you how sorry I am. I've tried to work things out with you in a manner that could have suited us all. I actually haven't seen you since you destroyed my phone. So, why are you here?" he asked as he looked at her. They wouldn't be in this situation in the first place had she not come. "I was invited. Months ago Kit! Before all of this shit happened. I want to be here" she said confidently. "Kit threw his hands in his hair. Something he did when he was frustrated. "Kit" said David as he put a hand on his shoulder. "Everyone is expecting to see Rose, it was right of her to come. She has every right to be here. It's only for a few hours. Then after this premier you can do whatever you please" he whispered. Kit shook his head. "This is killing me" he said as he brought his hands back down and folded them. "This will hurt her" he said as he looked back at his Emilia, who was now chatting and laughing with Peter. Dave shook his head. "Emilia understands the politics of the industry. She understands Social Media and how fucked up it can be. Emilia will understand" he said reassuringly. Kit looked from Dave, to Dan, then finally to Rose. "After this premier, I'm done" he said as he brought his hand to his face. "After this premier, we're out in the open" he said clearly, both Dan and Dave nodding their heads. Kit looked at Rose... "You need to be OK with this" he said as he looked at her. "I'm not ready for this" she whispered. Kit felt her pain. He couldn't lie. He could never hate her. She actually did nothing wrong. This was all his fault. This was the woman that he thought he could spend the rest of his life with, so he knew exactly how she must be feeling, and he did feel fucked up about that. He put his hand on her face and used his thumb to wipe her tear away. "You don't want to be with me" he whispered. "Not after everything I've put you through" he said as she brought her hand up and held his hand in hers. "I do" she said weakly. "I love you Kit" she admitted. "I think we could fix this" she said as she continued to hold his hand in front of her. "Kit" he said as he looked from Rose's face to Dan's. "I'm sorry we're asking this of you. IF it could be any other way, you know we'd want to go with that. But you know the media better than anyone. If you go out on that carpet without Rose, that will be the biggest question of the night. It's better to do it this way, rather than the alternative" he said as he looked between Rose and Kit, who were looking at each other as if they were the only two in the room. Kit then broke contact and looked at Dave. "This isn't fair" he whispered, his hand still in Rose's. This isn't fair on Emilia. This isn't fair on Rose. But, I'll do it" he said as he looked back at Rose. He let go of her hand and put the both of them in his pocket. "I need to go and speak to Emilia" he said as he took a step back, out of the circle they had created. "Kit, can we talk?" she asked softly. Kit looked at Rose and shook his head. "I need to go and speak to Emilia" he repeated. "She deserves to know what's happening" he said through a sigh. Rose closed her eyes. Nodded her head. "I'll see you tomorrow" she said weakly. Kit looked at her, a small smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, he nodded as she smiled back and walked away. In the opposite direction of the casts table. Dan and Dave watching her as she walked out of the restaurant. Dave then grabbed his wrist before he turned to walk away. "Kit" he said. "You and Emilia?" he asked curiously. "How serious are you?" Dan asked, stepping closer to Kit. Kit looked back at Emilia, then looked at the two of them standing in front of him. "I'm going to marry her" he said truthfully. Both Dave and Dan smiling. Dan smacking him on the shoulder. "That's if she'll have me after this potential shit storm" he said as he nodded at the two of them and walked away. He watched her as she continued to laugh with the rest of their friends. A near empty plate of food in front of her. He put his hands on her shoulders as he looked at the rest of the cast. "Good evening" he said through a chuckle. The entire table laughed. "Good evening Kit!" Lena said as she raised her glass yet again. "Hi there" she said as she looked up at him. Her sparkling blue/green eyes staring right through his soul. "Hi" he whispered back at her. Smiling uncontrollably, his entire body wanting to lean down and kiss her lips. "Where's Rose?" Nathalie asked as she looked between Kit and Emilia. She was protective of Emilia and she wanted to know what game he was playing. "She's gone to bed. Jetlagged" he lied as he looked at her. "Have something to eat" Emilia said as she moved closer to Nathalie, trying to make space for him to sit down. Nathalie looked back to the place where they all once stood and only saw Dave and Dan, the both of them, still in deep conversation about this entire situation. "I'm not hungry" he said. He had actually lost his appetite. "Em, you wanna get outta here?" he asked quietly. Emilia looked up at him and she knew that something was wrong. "Yeah, let's go" she said as she placed her napkin on the table and smiled at the rest of their friends. "Right, everyone should go to sleep! We have a big day tomorrow" she joked. "Good night love birds!" Lena called. Sophie, Maisie and Nathalie all looking at her with an awkward smile on their faces. "Inappropriate" Nathalie whispered to herself. Emilia shook her head as she stood. Nathalie grabbed her hand. "Text me" she whispered. Emilia leaned down and kissed her on the side of her face. "Of course" she whispered in her ear. "Good night!" she said to everyone looking back at her. "Good night!" Kit repeated as they walked out, side by side, making their way of the restaurant.
