I Can't Let You Go

Busy

The week passed quite quickly. Emilia and Kit talked a lot in phone, but they couldn't manage to meet. Em was working every night from 2 am, while Kit had his play every evening, and sometimes in the afternoon too. They missed each other, and it was already Friday. Kit had hopes, maybe this will be the night when they can meet, but Emilia's message sadden him. "Tonight we also have a night shoot. We'll start at 2 again. Seriously I want one thing. Sleep. But I love you, and maybe tomorrow..." Kit tried to smiled, and sat up on his bed to get ready to go to the theater. "Yeah, maybe tomorrow." he thought in himself, then went to the bathroom.

"Kit!" a familiar voice shouted his name in the street. It was his friend, Edward. One of his best friend. They did the Gunpowder series together, but they were too busy in the last couple months to meet.
"Damn buddy" Kit smiled at him, when he realized. "How are you?"
"Fine" they hugged each other "I just got back to London. I heard about your play. I plan to watch it next week. I read the reviews, and they said you are great"
"I tried to avoid the reviews, but good to hear" Kit laughed.
"To the theater?" Ed looked him.
"Yeah, we have an afternoon play today. And one at 7 pm. I am already in late."
"I'll walk with you, and maybe you can tell me how you spend your days in the past few months." he answered.
They talked and laughed a lot. Joking around, but Kit tried to avoid to talk about his personal life. They arrived to the theater.
"And Rose? How is she?" Ed asked finally.
"To be honest, I have no idea. She ... is... not talking with me since that cheating gossip released, maybe we are done, I ... I don't know." Kit shrugged his shoulders.
"Wow. What?"
"You heard it. That is what we have now. I tried to call her, to ... talk about it, to ... end it or ..." Kit continued.
"To end it? Wait what? Was that... true? You really...?" Ed frowned his eyebrows.
"No. It... it is a quite long story. I did not slept with her, but... I ... don't think the wedding is a good idea. I ... don't feel for her... how I should feel. I... "
"Harington" a voice came from the stage door "You better get inside"
"Right" he nodded "Ed. We'll talk okay? It was good to see you."

Edward waited him to get inside, then started to walk away. He was wondering, what happened between Kit and Rose. He never really supported this relationship, but he accepted his friend choice. He knew, maybe he wanted this because of his parents, especially because of his dad. Rose was the perfect choice for him, from the perfect family, but not the perfect pair. Kit always was a smiling, happy man, fooling around and making jokes, but not with Rose. He was so different when he was with Rose, and all of his friends realized it.

"No! Leave me alone!" she was screaming, and tried to push him away, but he did not let her go. She felt his firm squeeze in her arms and she was crying.
"You are mine" he told her and pushed her to the bed. She tried to move her arms, but she couldn't. In the next moment something changed and a lovely face leaned over her. A face what she loved so much. "Kit" she whispered.
"Are you okay?" he asked her and gave a kiss to her forehead.
"Where..."
"Shhh... It is just me. You and me. Forever" he answered, and kissed her lips.

"Screw You" Em pushed the red button on her iPhone screen when it alarmed her at midnight, waking her up in that moment. She was terribly tired after that week, and she couldn't sleep well. The nightmares about Charlie always came back and she always had to wake up in the worst moment. When she is finally in the arms of the man who she loves. She missed Kit. She missed every piece of him. She thought back to the shooting of Game of Thrones. It was so good. Especially the last two years, they were spending so much time together, hidden from the world. In Spain and in Belfast... as friend... More or less.

"Natalie have you seen Emilia?" Dan asked her in the hotel hall.
"She and Kit went some sightseeing tour. You know them. Always stuck together." Nat laughed and turned her head back to her book to continue reading.
