I Can't Let You Go

Scam

Kit laughed. "It is not funny Kit. We almost busted" Em told him in serious tone. "Emilia, we did not do anything wrong. You should have seen Richard face. He was sure I am going to fuck the sexy black stylist girl" he told and he couldn't stop laughing. "Your wig is perfect." he raised his eyes on her. "Maybe we should use this in weekdays." he added. "Really funny. In that way papz would think you have an affair with some no name girl, until one of them will recognize me." she answered and rolled her eyes. Kit raised his eyebrow and went to her. "I did not know we have an affair, Clarke" he pulled her close. "You know what I mean" she avoided to look at him. "No... I am afraid I don't know" he said. He was not laughing. He turned to serious. "I'd better go." she looked into his eyes finally. "To where?" he asked her. "Home." Emilia answered quietly. "I don't want you to go." He placed his forehead to hers. "I ... have to" she free herself from his arms and went to the door. "We'll talk. And... I hope every performance of you... will be that successful." she smiled to him and opened the door.

Suddenly she couldn't breath. Maisie was standing there. "I knew it" she said with a smile on her face. Em did not answered. "Okay Emilia, stop with this shit." she walked past her to the room "What the hell is going on?" she asked. "Maisie ... it is..." Kit started. Em sighed and closed the door. She turned to Maisie and took of the wig from her head. "How did you know?" Em shook her head. "It was quite obvious. You were not at the play, and I read that idiot gossip. But I was sure you would never skip this premier" she laughed and frowned. "What is going on guys?" she looked at Em then to Kit and sat down to the couch. "Richard also...?" Em stuttered. "No. He had no idea. He thought you are just a girl who will give this one pleasure all night long." Maisie nodded towards to Kit with her head. "He went to the party, but I told him I am tired, and I came back. So? Was that true?" Maisie smiled. "What?" Em frowned. "The gossip. You two really? Finally?"

"NO!" they answered at the same time, than looked to each other. "I just give a kiss to his face, and someone spotted us." Em explained. "There is nothing between us." she continued. "Aham. So this is why you are hiding and sneaking here." Maisie stated. "It is not what you think." Em sat next to her. "Mais, we both have someone in our lives and we are just friends. He loves Rose and I love.. Charlie. We did not cheat them, and we won't." Emilia continued. "At least we don't need our friends to think something else." she looked at her. Maisie raised her eyes to Kit. He was standing there in silence. He hated that line. That line what Emilia tried to sell to everyone. "That won't help." Maisie looked to Emilia. "A wig and a glass. It makes things more ... suspicious."

"I just... did not want to handle with the papz and journalists. They are around us like flies since that woman spotted us in the car." Em told her. "Okay, I understand" she nodded. "But I still think you just have to show up together in public as friends, that would be easier." she answered. "I said the same" Kit stated quietly. "Both of you out of your minds?" Em jumped up. "We cannot just walked around London together and sat to a bar for some drinks" she couldn't believe what they just said. "Why not?" Maisie shook her head. "Because if they see us together, there will be more and more gossips about us, and I don't want this." Em answered seriously. "But if you are really friends, and just friends... like you said... they have nothing against you Emilia." Maisie answered. "Okay, I had enough. I ... better go." She reached her hand towards to the door handle. "Em. The wig" Kit said to her before she could open the door. "I don't need it. I go out in the backdoor." she answered and walked out from the room. "Maybe I shouldn't come back" Maisie leaned forward in the couch. "No. No. It is doesn't matter. It was just too much for her." Kit said and sat next to Maisie. "So. I heard her opinion, but as I see you see the things otherwise." she turned to Kit. He laughed a bit. "Can I be honest?" Maisie asked him. "Of course." he answered.

"I spent my last few years with you two. I never really understand what is the problem. Why you two did not come together, and be a couple. It was so clear. You always hanging out together, every time when we were all there in Belfast or anywhere. You were stuck together. First I thought it is because you are at the same age and I was a child but the years passed, and... Kit you act so different when you are with her. You are ... you. And when you are with Rose, you are serious, stiff as board, and I never saw you laugh with her. Not the way you laugh with Emilia. I just ... don't understand" Maisie told him. "Me neither." he smiled at her and gave a kiss to her forehead. "Me neither."
