What am I doing?


I thought I knew what I wanted. All this effort put into saving a relationship and now look at me.. I didn't expect her to be this beautiful and pure. She made me shy just looking at her. Her laugh, her smell, her attitude. It all drew me in.

I admit I was surprised when the covers landed on my desk with a secret that was kept under wraps since 1981. I didn't plan on that coming out so soon, but she figured it out and this is what she wanted. I found myself liking the idea.

"Duane call Mr. Daniels for me.."

Taking her out to lunch was for my own selfish reasons. I could've phoned, but I needed to be close to her. I also knew that it would persuade her to say yes to my offer. I'm not being arrogant or anything, I just know women. Her though..she's hard to read and that's something I like.

When she was close to that Terrence guy it awoke a feeling in me I thought I'd put to rest. I know I shouldn't be feeling like this when I have someone else thinking we're going to be together.

God help me to do the right thing. I need guidance.


When I get home after the charity event, I go down to the studio, feeling an urge coming on. It keeps me up until three in the morning, but I feel like it's only been thirty minutes. By now it's afternoon in the UK so I dial a hotel number. They put me through and a soft voice answers.

"You need to go to sleep."

I chuckle, knowing she was going to say that. "I am, I just wanted to know how your shoot went."

"It went great babe. Hours of makeup, wardrobe changes and flashing cameras."

"I know you killed it. I'm getting me a copy as soon as the issue comes out."

"I'm surprised you don't have one now with all your connections. This press tour can't end soon enough...I miss you P."

"I miss you too Nona. You're being good for me right?"

"Yes, I swear. I want us to work, you know that..but hey, get some rest okay? You sound drained."

"Damn I thought you liked my sleepy voice?"

"Only when you've waken up from a good nights rest. Call me then." We exchanged goodbyes and goodnights as I laid back in my bed. I ended the call with a sigh.

What am I doing?
