I had no leads on finding my father. I was starting to worry that something bad might have happened to my dad. I hoped not but if that was the case then I was going to have to go home empty handed.
My mother was going to be either pissed off at me or disappointed that I could not find her husband. I was at the studio trying to sneak away to work on the machine and get it ready if I could go back home.
And working for Vikki. At least I was getting a steady pay check now thanks to her. And I also enjoyed living with Michael. We were getting really close very fast. I could not stop it if I tried.
I knew he was hoping that I might change my mind and stay. And dump my fake fiancé for him. But it was a little more complicated that that. I had to go back home to my own time. Or things might get worse from there.
I watch as Michael read his lines with Lea today. The mom on the set. He looked nervous. They were really ragging on the poor guy. Making him stumble over his lines that he knew already. They keep yelling cut. Finally, they make us all take a break.

I walk over to where Michael was seated in his chair reading over his lines. I place my hand on his shoulder. "Mike what is going on?" I ask softly. "Something wrong? You know these lines by heart?" I ask him.
He looks up at me. "I know them. I do. But I can't focus" he mutters.
"Why can't you?" I question. "Maybe I can help you out" I offer.
He looks sad. He shakes his head. "With this Nika you really can't help me" he says in a stern voice.
It was my fault he was losing his focus. He was heartbroken. I could tell it. Just by the look on his face. He did not want me to know though. I feel tears come to me. Little did he know how fast I was falling for him. I really cared for him. And I could not even tell him that I did. It was not fair. I felt so conflicted.
I nod. "I understand Michael" I say as I go to walk away.
"Nika!" he calls after me.
I head over the machine. Trying to use some free minutes' to work on this thing. I read over my father's plans for it. And was getting my tools out. I hear Michael calling me.
He was close by here. Shit. I shove the tools back in the machine. Then cover it up. I go back out of hiding. So, he would not find the machine.
"Michael" I call out. "Here I am"
"Try not to worry okay? I am sorry about that back there. It is true I can't focus because I wish you could stay here. And I can't keep bringing it up. You know how I feel" he states as he glances down at the floor.
I place a hand on his shoulder. "I know that. I am truly sorry" I say softly.
"Michael! We need you back on set" someone demands on speaker.
