I Can't Let You Go

Barbecue

"I am afraid to ask." Emilia sighed when they arrived back at Kit's house.
"What?" Kit raised his brow and went straight to the tree to turn the lights on.
"What did you say to him?" Em crossed her arms in front of her body.
"To Ed?" Kit smiled.
"Yes. To Ed. Who else." Em spread her arms and she was a bit nervous. "Do not act like you have no idea what I am talking about." She looked into his eyes.
"I know." He shrugged his shoulders and grinned.
"So?" Em frowned.
"Oh, I've told him that we have an affair since we know each other. I've told him that we got together behind Rose's back and that you and she are not that huge friends as people think." Kit answered so naturally as if he was just telling some fairy tale. Emilia was trying to find words but she was so shocked. Kit stepped closer and caressed her face. "I did not say a word. Damn Clarke, do you really think that I am a fool?" He rolled his eyes.
"Sorry." Emilia bit her lower lip. "But his comment. Why did he say it? That he hopes the song helped?" She sighed.
"Because I am a fucking bad actor when it is about my feelings for you" Kit admitted. "He knows that I have a crush on you. Since ... do you remember that barbecue right? At his house in ... ahm... when was that?" He trieď to think.
"2013," Emilia remembered clearly.

2013 - Barbecue Party

"I am so glad you are here Harington." Ed hugged Kit. "Tough... I thought you'll bring one of your girls." He laughed at him.
"I don't have any." Kit laughed and he felt a bit embarrassed.
"Yeah sure. So all those articles about your affairs with several women in Belfast are false right?" Ed patted his shoulder. "Not that I blame you. Enjoy it until it lasts. Until you find the perfect one."
"I try." Kit put his hands to his pocket.
"But I thought at least you invite some of your co-stars. I wanted to meet with them." Ed looked around.
"You don't have to worry. Emilia will be here at any moment." He raised his eyes to the entrance but he can't see his friend. His... love. She was not his girlfriend officially but he wished she is.
"You gotta be kidding me. The Mother of Dragons will be here? My guests will go crazy. She is such a thing. I mean she is the main reason why I watch the show." Ed looked excited.
"Thanks, bro." Kit laughed.
"Sorry." Ed started to laugh. "But your brooding face is nothing compared to her. When she appears on screen with her silver-blonde hair... and dragons. Damn. Goosebumps." He explained and Kit knew that. Yes, Emilia became the main face of Game of Thrones and people adored her. He doesn't mind it. Emilia deserved it. She deserved even more. She worked harder than any of them meanwhile she had that horrible disease. He was so grateful because she survived it.
"Kit?" Ed saw he lost in his thoughts.
"Yeah. Wait until you meet with her in real life. She is much beautiful as a brunette." Kit laughed a bit.

"I hope you're talking about me." He heard his favorite voice from behind his back but at the moment he turned to her direction she was in his neck and hugging him. "I've missed you, Harington." She told him and kissed his face.
"Not more than me" he smiled at her and lost in her eyes. Two months passed since he last saw her but he felt it a whole eternity.
"I can't believe I am here at your house." She smiled at Ed and stretched her arm. "I am Emilia. Milly for my friends or Em or... whatever." She giggled and she was shining.
"Khaleesi"Ed kissed her hand.
"Just not that. Please." Em laughed so loudly. "Kit usually calls me Clarke. No idea why." She smiled at Kit.
"Because you also call me Harington." He answered and he couldn't take his eyes off of her.
"Or grumpy." Em corrected him and blinked at Ed.
"I am not." Kit rolled his eyes.
"If you ask me that nickname suits you. You always grumpy." Ed admitted.
"Thank you." Emilia nodded. "See I've told ya." She patted his chest and they were laughing. "Ahm... where can I find a toilet? I really need to pee."
"That way." Ed pointed to the stairs "second door on the left inside."
"Thanks. I'll be back" she quoted and left them there.
"She is filming the new Terminator." Kit mentioned and followed her with his eyes until she disappeared behind the door.
