I Can't Let You Go

Night Out

The audience gave stand applause at the end of the play. Ed was shouting while Em tried to be remain unrecognizable. She stood up and applauded Kit, who found her eyes and staring her for some seconds. Em shook her head and her cheek went red. She lowered her head.
"It looks like we don't really matter to him." Lola leaned to Em "no one else matters just you. And you still have doubts what he feels for you?"
"Shut up" Em could kill Lola with her eyes. "Someone hear you."
"What is wrong girls?" Ed looked at them.
"Nothing. Nothing. " Em answered and looked up to Kit again. He is talented. He is handsome. He... is everything what she ever wanted. And she won't let Rose to break them apart.
"I go and grab Kit. Meet at the entrance. Okay?" Ed told them and left them there. 
Em and Lola waited until the audience almost left the theater then they get their jackets.

Ed knocked on Kit's dressing room door and entered before he could answer.
"Geez, you scared the hell out of me. I thought it is... " Kit looked at him.
"It is? Who Kit?" Ed smiled a bit. "Rose?"
"Never mind." he shook his head.
"No. No. Tell me finally what the hell is going on." Ed sat to the couch.
"What do you mean?" Kit asked back while he was changing his shirt. 
"Kit I am not a totally idiot. No matter what you think. I saw how you looking at her. What is going on? Where is Rose?"
Kit took a deep breath. 
"Rose is at her parents house. She left yesterday. I... it is a long story Ed. Really. Emilia and I are..."
"Do not tell me you are just friends. I did not believe it years ago." Ed rolled his eyes. "Do you love her?"
"Who?" 
"Who... who..." Ed sighed. "Okay act like a dumbass, Kit, but if you wanna keep it in secret, then do not staring her for long minutes with shining eyes. Okay? That is just a friendly advice." He stood up and started to walk to the door "We are waiting for you at the entrance."
"Ed!" Kit stopped him before he could go out. "I love her. But it is more difficult... I... have to close my past with Rose and it is not easy."
"I told you at the beginning ... to not start that romance with Rose, cuz she is ... not totally sane. But... you never wanna listen to my advice" 
Kit knows he is right. He warned him. He told him his honest opinion about Rose. They were arguing about her many times. Ed never liked Rose, but at the end he accepted his friends choice. He wanted to support him, but when he heard about the wedding, he was in shock. He wanted to stay away from it. He was grateful to Kit's bro, who offered to be his wedding witness, and in that way, he only have to appear there as a guest. 
"Do not tell her anything. It is not easy... so... she ... don't need any commentary about us. Okay?"
"Of course... One thing what I still don't understand." his hand was on the door handle, but he turned back to Kit. "How the fucking hell she fell in love with you?" Ed laughed.
After a second Kit started to laugh too. He had no idea either. Emilia was so much more, than he ever expected. She was the perfect women herself. Especially for him. 

"Can we go? I swear you getting more prepare than a bride." Em told Kit, when he and Ed finally came out from the backstage rooms.
"Sorry Miss Clarke. I did not want you to wait for too long." He looked to her eyes. 
"Guys, can we just go finally? I want a Martini and dance all night long." Lola added and opened the entrance door. "Our Cab is already here."
"Just after you" Kit held the door and showed the way to Emilia to go. Ed rolled his eyes and smiled. The gentlemen always popped out from Kit, when his beloved bestie was around. 
Lola get into the backseat in the car, while Ed in the front. 
"C'mon Harington. You can finally be between two women." Lola laughed. Kit raised his eyes to Emilia, and his irresistible smile. 
"You are smaller, so get in to the center" Kit held the door for Emilia. 
"Are you scared?" Em laughed. 
"No. Not with you." he whispered to her and caressed her hand barely noticeably. "Get in."

"Wow, I am a big party girl, but I have no idea that place exists." Lola stated, when they entered into the club.
"There are some hidden cool clubs in London, and that is one of the best" Ed answered, and shook hand with the security guard.
"It's been a while. I am glad you are here" the security guard smiled and opened the door for them. They walked in.
The club looked amazing, fancy and modern. 
"Just follow me." Ed told them, and he went forward. Lola grabbed Emilia's hand, and she took Kit's. They smiled to each other, and followed Edward. He was heading to the VIP sector. They went in, and take a seat. There were no one else instead of us.
"I told you. Harington you are in safe." Ed leaned back and waved to the waitress.
"Okay, I have to admit. You were right. That place is cool" Emilia admitted, and sat down. Kit sat right next to her. 
They ordered some drinks, and chatting. They were laughing a lot. Kit and Em were always find a little cause to touch each other. Both Lola and Ed noticed, but they did not want to say a word about it. An hour and a few drinks later they felt themselves free and happy. They were a bit drunk, and laughing.
