After 'Cut' is Called, a Sprousehart Story

Chivalry's not dead.

           

~Cole's p.o.v.~

We finished filming for the day and by the time we finished it was 6:30pm and everyone was hungry so we decided to go to dinner. We went to this restaurant about 20 minutes from set, we have all been here before and we love the food here. We call ahead so they can put tables together for us to sit at, then we all go to our trailers and get out stuff to go. Once I've got my things I go to Lili's trailer to get her so we can go in my car. But when I get in there she is just sitting on her couch then I said quietly "Lili, are you coming?" she lifted her head up straight away and jumped up and happily said "coming" then she grabbed her bag in one hand and my hand in her other hand and we walked off, but I was a bit suspicious of what she was doing so I kept on high alert.

We got in the car, the others had already left, so we went off and drove to the place. It was a quiet ride, Lili was just holding my hand the whole time; knowing that we had the comfort, the trust and the love of each other. I am falling for Lili, harder than I have ever fallen for anyone. I can see a future with her in it, us in a house, with not one, not two, not three but four kids, one set of twins in the middle. We would still be acting but not on any long time shows, only small projects and movies. I see myself doing more photography, travelling the world with my young family; as for Lili, I see her running various campaigns for various reasons, becoming the CEO of her own magazine and being an amazing mother and wife to myself and our kids. And before I know it we are at the place we are having dinner. I got out and went to open the door and as she got out she smirked at me, so I simply said: "chivalry's not dead." Then we both laughed and continued to walk in, not holding hands but standing very close because we don't want the public to know about our relationship yet.

We got inside and we took our seats with the rest of the cast up the back of the room, Lili and I were seated next to each other, thank goodness. I can see that Lili is already a little overwhelmed with what is happening and all the people here, so I grab her hand under the table and stoke the back of her hand with my thumb. I can see that she is still a little stressed but it has calmed her a bit so I continue to do this. It is helping me too though; I try to not show my emotions but everything that has been going on has really stressed me out too. And before I know it a waitress is asking me what I want to eat, so I panko and just tell her that I want the chef to make me his favourite dish, and the waitress just nods and continues to Lili who only orders a salad and a water. And straight away I know exactly why she is doing this, so I turn to the waiter and say "could I please change my order to what she is having," indicating at Lili, and the waiter simply nods and smiles, then turns to write in her orders book.

We get our food and we are eating and laughing and having a good old time, however, every now and again I place my hand either on her lower thigh or on her hand, always making sure to always rub my thumb up against her to reassure her and myself that everything will be okay. Then suddenly down the end of the table, I hear screaming, it's coming from Charles and Cami. Lili and I both look at each other, I grab her hand to reassure her that everything will be all right, then we both look to the culprit of the noise. They are now standing, Cami mostly yelling at Charles and him just taking it. I can't even tell what they are yelling about because I am more concerned with what is going on with Lili. She just seems stressed and taken back by what is happening. Then finally Skeet stands up and tells Charles to go outside and he calmly takes Cami's elbows and tries to help her decrease the anger that she is letting out, then eventually they both go outside with Charles too. Cami comes back in and grabs her bag then walks out the door, I know that she drove here with Charles and she lives a 20-minute drive from here so I look to Lili, she understands straight away. I place money on the table for all our food and then we grab our things and go to catch up to Cami.

We caught up to Cami and she was in tears. Lili pulled her into a hug then the pulled apart and looked into each other's eyes and I knew that Lili could see it wasn't good. Luckily my car was just across the road so we crossed and got into the car. Lili got into the back seat with Cami. I drove but I wasn't going back to her place, not yet. I drive down the road and turn a few corners until we arrive in a secluded carpark so we can find out what is really going on without the worry that someone might see us.
