Ramin's POV///
There's this girl. She is beautiful. She has the best personality... Ever. She's amazingly talented, and has probably the biggest heart ever. I've always thought of her in a loving way. But I keep pushing that away. For the main reason... She is not my wife. Only I knew my real feelings for her... That was until I cracked.
"Ramin, care to explain to me why you're calling me at 2 freakin am!?" Hadley Fraser yells at me through the phone.
"Is that really the time? Wow... I'm sorry man. But... Could you do me a huge favor... And come over? No one is here but me... I just need to talk."
"Um sure."
No matter how much Hadley is annoyed with me, he always comes through.
•••
"I can't do this anymore. I can't keep this a secret. It's too hard."
"What?" Hadley asks me, concerned.
"I'm in love..." I put my head in my hands, "I'm in love with Sierra..."
as soon as those words come out of my mouth, Hadley's jaw drops.
"Really? Ramin, you're kidding right? You're married... I mean I've always known you hold some love for her... But not like really."
"I'm not kidding. I know I'm married... And believe me, if I could shove these feelings away I would, I've been trying for the past couple years."
"You've known for the last couple years?!"
"I couldn't hold it in any longer... I needed to tell someone... You were the first person that came to my mind."
"Have you seen her lately?"
"No." I shake my head.
"Well... What if you really don't love her you just miss her a lot?"
"No Hadley... If I don't live her, why do I miss the feeling of her lips against mine and her body close to mine?"
Hadley's eyes get really big.
"Ramin, have you had... With her?!"
"Hadley! No!"
"Then how do you know the feeling of her lips and body against yours?"
"Hadley, Love never dies? Phantom of the opera?"
"Then you just miss acting with her?"
"Hadley..."
"I need more proof. I don't think you are really in love with her. You do know she's engaged to Tam right?"
"Yes..."
"I'm not trying to be rude, it's just... This is a big deal..."
"I know..."
"Does she feel the same way?"
I just stay silent.
"Ramin, are you cheating on your wife?"
"Not exactly."
"Not exactly! What did you do? You told me you didn't!"
"We didn't have sex... We just... Kissed, that's all."
"During a show?"
"No."
"For that one love never dies picture?"
"Just let me explain."
I begin to explain to Hadley the time that Sierra came over, when I still lived in New York and we sang. And at the end the song, we found ourselves leaning in and pressing our lips together.
"Does Mandy know?"
"What do you think?" I raise an eyebrow at Hadley.
"Did anything else happen?"
I sigh, "while we didn't have sex... It got... Well... I guess you could say... Steamy."
