The Actress' Husband

Episode 13: Bubble Pop

Hey, happy mother's day to all! I hope you all have a great day with her. And for the ones who don't have a mother, it's alright, you still have yourself (or a dad I hope). So that's worth something if you cherish the idea of that.

Episode 13: Bubble Pop

The air that surrounded the two potential lovers for the next twelve hours was thickened with awkwardness.

Emily was too annoyed and embarrassed to say anything to Nicholas, while him on the other hand, was being sensitive towards her feelings.

At the end of the day, it wasn't complimentary because both of them were caught up in some miscommunication. One thought the other was still angry with them. It was confusing and frustrating.

Having enough of what was going on, Emily stormed into the office-like room he had inhabited since forever.

It was almost as if he was in freaking hibernation.

She was going to wake that beast up because they had to clear this air somehow.

"Nicholas!" She yelled as she barged through the door, quite boisterous of her character.

"I need to speak to you."

The man's eyes narrowed onto her in warning as he looked up from the computer before him.

Clueless to the person on the other side of the camera, she began her long suppressed rant.

"I told myself that I was going to wait, but I don't think I can anymore. I can't keep up what's going on between us."

"Emily-"

"No, listen, Nicholas."

As she advanced forward, his pupils began to shake as he looked from behind the screen and onto her.

Why was he dressed so nicely when he was caught up in a hotel doing work anyway?

"I don't know how else to say it but I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I blew up on you like that, and blamed you."

"And I already forgave you, remember?"

She stood before him, her night gown as threatening as he last remembered.

He tried his best to block her body away from the screen.

"You did?" Her eyes lit up in wonder as she put her fingers under her chin.

"I thought you were just getting back at me when you teased and touched me-"

"Emily!" He shouted and stood up from his chair abruptly.

Nicholas took the oblivious woman by the shoulders and spun her around as he apologized to someone she couldn't see.

"I apologize for the interruption but can we have a ten minute break please? Okay, thank you. I'll call you back."

"Who are you talking to?"

The little woman leant over just in time to see a middle aged man's face in the computer screen.

His eyes widened when they were greeted by the cleavage exposed by her night gown when she dipped to look.

She screamed as soon as the video call clicked off.

"Were you talking to him this entire time?" Her voice was above a little squeak.

"Yes, I was. I had a business call with the project manager of Black Corps. However, it had to be cut short because of your little strip show."
