Broken Bonds

Can You Keep A Secret?

It was a busy day on set and Vicky and Brian planned to spend the night together later that evening after he had finished with his Tell 'Em Steve Dave podcast. She couldn't wait to get him all to herself. It had been 4 days since they had been alone together, and she couldn't help but crave him. Ever since they had worked things out, she had allowed herself to like him just that little bit more, but that didn't stop her worrying about the train wreck they were possibly heading for. 6 hours into filming the guys in various focus groups, Vicky was delighted when Brian's mic suddenly stopped working and Max had asked her to take him out to take a look at it whilst the cast and crew took a break. Vicky lead Brian to a vacant room just across the hall from where they had been filming as she looked over his mic.

"I can't wait for tonight", he smirked at her as she took out a screwdriver and began removing the back of the battery pack.

"Me too", she smirked up at him before returning to her work. "Today's gonna be a long one so it'll be nice to just sit back and relax", she told him, her eyes still on the mics battery pack as she began putting it back together.

"Relax?", he echoed her words as his hands met her hips. "I hope you're not planning on relaxing too much", he smirked seductively at her. Vicky chuckled as she reached under the back of his shirt, slotting the battery pack back on the hem of his jeans, never breaking eye contact for even a second as she watched him intently.

"What if being with you is my idea of relaxation?", she raised her eyebrow suspiciously, daring to inch closer.

"Fuck. You're gonna have to take a step back. I've been thinking about you all day. I might just explode!", he laughed nervously. Vicky could help but grin. She loved the affect she had on him. Inching closer, she stood up on the tips of her toes, gracing his cheek with the gentlest of kisses before hovering over his ear.

"You're good to go", she whispered, before casually exiting the room. Upon returning to the sound room, Max informed her that now Sal and Murr's mics were not working properly and that they been told to break for food whilst Max checked them over. Vicky headed to the buildings cafeteria and took a seat by herself with a chicken salad sandwich and a coffee when she was suddenly joined by Sal. "Hey Sal", she smiled before taking a bite out of her meal. "What's going on?", she asked.

"Not much. The guys wanted to go to Subway, but I hate that place, so I thought I'd join you", he told her casually, setting down his Lo Mein.

"What's wrong with Subway?", Vicky chuckled.

"Do you know how many people work there and don't change their gloves every time they serve a new person!?", he shuddered at the thought. "I don't wanna order a meatball sub and taste nothing but turkey ham!", he told her dramatically. Vicky couldn't help but laugh as she took another bite from her sandwich. "So", Sal suddenly said. "How's your love life?", he asked. Vicky almost choked on her dinner at the question.

"Why the sudden interest in my love life?", she chuckled nervously. Sal smirked at her as ate a fork full of his dinner.

"Well, you sounded real cosy with someone earlier", he said casually. Vicky's eyes widened at his comment.

"Cosy? What do you mean?", she asked nervously, trying to act as casual as possible.

"Oh. I mean when I overheard you and Q talking in the sound room", he said, casually once more.

"Th-the sound room? I-I don't know what you mean", she stuttered, her heart racing in her chest as she tried desperately to think up some sort of explanation.

"I went in there to look for you and the system was still on. And so was Q's mic it seems", he smirked. Vicky couldn't form the words to speak as she felt her palms becoming sticky with sweat and, suddenly, the sight of food made her want to vomit. "Hey", Sal spoke softly, the joking tone in his voice gone as he placed his hand on top of hers, sensing her nerves. "It's okay", he smiled sincerely.
