I Can't Let You Go

Last Weekend

Kit got out from his car and started to walk towards to front door. He waited to be home. His day was a pretty dense full of programs. He could get away the Mencap Charity day only in the late evening. He just wanted to arrive home, hug his lover close and lay down with the bed with her. Not to mention he has plans for the weekend. Away from the city. Away from everything, but first of all, he has a huge surprise for Emilia the following day, and he was so excited because of it. That was their last weekend before the autumn season started. Emilia has to start the Last Christmas promotion soon, but at least they still going to the Emmys together. He waited for that. He remembered too well, what happened last year. And many things happened after that, gosh that night. How could he ever forget? He was smiling like an idiot when he turned the key in the hole and entered his flat. He walked towards the kitchen, and he surprised so much when he spotted Emilia there, but not alone. 

"Hi, darling." Rose was smiling at him, but he couldn't return that smile. He glanced at Emilia, and she just made a face. "Aren't you happy to see me? We met so long ago" Rose continued to tease him.
"I thought you ... said you won't be around in our... private life." Kit tried to be polite and he placed his bag to the chair. 
"And I wasn't." she shook her head. "Or was I?" she turned to Emilia. 
"No. Rose is here to..."
"To remind you to not forgot to mention me. In the following weeks and months. Who knows how love has taken your mind off?" she rolled her eyes. "But I have nothing to discuss with you. You have the same task as usual. Praise me at the Emmys." she stood up and walked closer to Kit. "You are at least fit for that." she patted his shoulder and walked out. "See you soon, Em." she waved and walked out. They waited until she closes the front door. 

"She was eating my life." Emilia stated, and stood up, she walked to Kit and placed her arms around his neck "I am glad you arrived." she kissed him. 
"I don't think she left because of me."
"Oh, I am sure she did." Em smiled and kissed him again. "And I don't mind it. It was enough of her for today."
"What did she want?"
"She has a complete script what I should say during the interviews, and she wants me to talk about her as my best friend. Like... you are not my best mate anymore, but she is." she glanced at the table "She even wrote it down for me" she rolled her eyes.
"Okay" Kit frowned "Skip this topic for now." he placed his hand to her cheek. "I hope you don't have any plans for tomorrow afternoon." he continued.
"No." She raised her eyebrow "But why?"
"I have a surprise for you." he smiled at her 
"What?" she giggled.
"If I'd tell you it would not be a surprise anymore." he caressed her cheek and kissed her lips.

Emilia arrived at the restaurant the next day and the waiter greeted her with a huge smile. He knew where he has to lead her. 
"The gentlemen have not arrived yet." he told her "Do you want anything to drink?"
"Gentlemen?" Emilia frowned. Kit did not tell her anything about that lunch. He just told the hour, when she has to arrive. No matter how she tried to get more information from him, he did not say a word. 
"Clarke" he arrived, and Jamie Llyod followed him. Kit worked with him in an act, Doctor Faustus a few years earlier. Em jumped up, and Kit gave two kisses to her cheek. 
"What..."
"You're really not getting old darling." Jamie gave a kiss to her cheek too.
"Believe me I do. I have much more wrinkles." she giggled, meanwhile they all sitting around the table. 
"Still perfect," Jamie added, then turned to the waiter and ordered the best wine for them. Em was still lost in the situation. She had no idea what is going on. She glanced at Kit, but he was so in silence, but there was a so satisfied smile in his face. He and Jamie looked at each other. "And I can't be grateful enough for you," Jamie told to Kit.
"What did I miss guys?" Emilia frowned.
"Don't be grateful, until she nods." Kit stated and leaned to the table. 
"Nod to what? Don't you want to initiate me?" she crossed her arms. 
"I... have an offer for you. A role." Jamie started "And I would be honored if you say yes, because... when I ... planned to do that play... you were my first thought." he continued. "And Kit gladly helped me to organize this meeting."
