ELLAPOV

I think this is just a plan to keep me out of my house. The cleaners were there two days ago I was supposed to go back today he said I needed the carpets to dry properly, I don't mind it's nice having someone care about me. I must say the cast all care about me I got sent a bunch of flowers from Andy and Greg and today, when Norman was working there, was a knock on the door it was Lauren she said she was bearing food triple chocolate ice cream, choc chip cookies and a couple of girlie movies.

"So Ella how are you?"

"I'm okay."

"Okay? Okay isn't good we need to hear if you are good or great. You have a great guy Norman who loves you so much."

"I know he does. He doesn't deserve me."

"He doesn't? He drops everything and comes racing to your house without thinking about his safety hearing you're being attacked I think that's love or a guy being reckless I'm not sure which. But if he didn't love or even like you Ella he wouldn't have you here."

"I guess."

"So how is it living with Reedus."

"He's nice."

"Nice?"

"We haven't you know since it happened."

"Hey, girl I have no idea how that felt, I did one time have a guy that liked it rough, you know where it wasn't against my will though I must say I didn't mind it but it wasn't anywhere near what you experienced. He understands let him be there for you."

"But his also going to leave soon I don't want to get any more attached to him than I already am. He's leaving in November then I won't see him again for another four months by then he'll have someone else."

"Hey if you two are meant to be together then you'll work it out. My guy, we're apart for months it makes the time when we're together so much better also make Skype your best friend girl it's awesome."

"Maybe I could do something like that."

"Yeah, you can. So I have to ask how was it? You and Norman."

"Oh, you can ask I probably shouldn't answer it though."

"Oh come on I have no life. I know it was good he came in that day with the biggest shit-eating grin on his face."

"It was amazing he's huge well maybe not huge but to me he is."

"I can imagine he is packing a decent piece of meat."

"Hey eyes off my guy."

"Oh so now he is your guy huh? Ah if I had wanted him I wouldn't have waited until he found a nice girl and be happy, would I? I've known him for years."

"Yeah, he is. I don't want some other girl having him."

"Good cause neither do I. I can't believe my plan worked."

"My plan?"

"Well, not my plan but I hoped he would be with someone outside the industry."

"Well, that I am. Thanks, Lauren."

"Honey I'm home." I said as I walked through the door. I can hear her and Lauren talking

"Oh man, you two are like an old married couple." Said Lauren.

"Oh shut it, Lauren. Now you can leave but those ice cream and cookies have to stay." Norman says as he flops next to me.

"Well, I'm going to take that as my note to leave. This has been fun. Bye Ella." She kisses Ella.
