I Can't Let You Go

Away

"Kit?" Emilia arrived back from LA after a week. She was tired and had huge jetlag, but she missed Kit. She heard in his voice, that he missed her too, so her first route led her there from the airport. She had a bad feeling but she couldn't explain. Maybe it was just because of the travel, and it is already not over. Her promo tour continues, and until 15 December she had a tight schedule. After that, it will be better. Probably. 
"Emilia." Rose was sitting in the kitchen drinking tea and smiled at her. Em did not expect that, not even in her wildest nightmares. She couldn't find a word for the situation. "Kit said he'll go to your apartment later, I guess he did not expect you to come here." Rose continued and raised the cup to her mouth. Emilia was still speechless and placed her bag to the floor. "You look awful. It was a long week, right?" she drank into her tea, then place the cup back to the counter. "But I saw the interviews. You were so kind and sweet. The things you've said about me. Us. And our friendship. It was so lovely." Rose admitted.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Emilia finally formed some words.
"Don't be that odious. I am here with a white flag." Rose rolled her eyes. "He did not mention it? Oh, probably it is better to talk eye to eye." there was an irritating smile on her face. "It was good for us, that you were away. We could talk about many things." 
"Where is Kit?" Emilia took a deep breath. 
"Em?" his voice came from the stairs. "What are you doing here?"
"Am I interrupting something?" she pulled a face and turned to him.
"I did not expect you... come here from the airport." he stepped to her. "I thought we agreed to meet at your place." 
"That would be more advantageous for you, that's clear." she couldn't hide her disappointment. "You know what... I ... go home, and ... when you have time... you know where I live." she couldn't even look at him, and grabbed her bag. 
"Emilia it is not... " he couldn't finish because she already stormed out of the house and slammed the door behind her.
"I still don't understand why you keep secrets from her." Rose rolled her eyes. "Again and again the same problem. She is never going to trust you." 
"So you start it again?" Kit looked at her.
"I just mentioned." she shrugged her shoulders. "Look I mean it. I don't want to fight with you or her continuously. I ... found someone and I really want to move on. But you'll always be important for me and... that distrust is not okay. Neither of you." she frowned. 
"You better go." Kit lowered his head. Rose grabbed her bag and stood up. 
"So the dinner is still ok? At my place?" she stepped to Kit. 
"We'll see." Kit nodded and swallowed a big one.

Emilia tossed everything when she arrived home. She couldn't believe it. She knew there is something, she just felt it, but she couldn't even imagine that. She thought he may get a few drinks, or worked too much or... have some problems with his family, with Mariana... but Rose. Being there at his flat. Why the hell she has to arrive home for this. And he kept it secret from her. Another thing which she can't understand. He always manages to get into a situation like that and he is wondering why she freaks out. She knew he'll be there soon. Looking at her with his Bambi's eyes, and expect her to understand the situation. Again. She sat to the edge of the bed and placed her face to her palms. It is getting too much. Sure, that not helps that she is working too much lately, but a premier period is always like that. She doesn't need more things which makes it harder. She glanced at the clock on the nightstand. An hour passed since she arrived home, and Kit is not there. Surprising and also nerve-racking. "Fine." she sighed and walked down to her kitchen. Starting to make some food for herself. She'll eat something, then she'll go to bed, and try to sleep. That will be the best for her. And Kit can do whatever he wants. She won't care about it. She put the knife to the counter and rolled her eyes. Sure... what a lie. It would be so much easier if she didn't feel anything for him. She checked her phone and her schedule for the next couple of days. She loved the movie, she loved the cast and crew and she enjoyed the whole promo tour, but ... it would be so much better with him. Henry brought his wife to New York. She imagined ... what if Kit was there with her. Acting like a normal couple. Who doesn't have to be afraid to appear in public. A sweet dream. If that depends on Rose or Mariana... it will never happen. She placed the plate to the dishwasher and wanted to go to bed, but she heard a knock. Kit has keys, so probably it is not him. She turned to the door and opened it. She was wrong.
