A Secret Between Us.

5."Everything's good?"

Bart drew a smile and kept staring at Colin, who on the contrary was tense and completely immobile; so the man decided to take a step forward approaching this one:"all right?" whispered; Colin opened his mouth, was about to answer, but at that moment Julianne came out, who in the meantime had managed to get dressed in haste and fury:"love!" He said, putting his hands forward and then taking her husband's face and kissing him "hello.."

She whispered without detaching himself from his face, smiling at him while she was dying of fear inside. Colin turned to them, watched them silently as he shook his hand in a fist. He was filled with rage and you could see it in his eyes. Bart laid his hands on Julianne's cheeks, who kept staring at him trying not to turn around, trying not to look at Colin, she already knew he was doing it.

"Mom!" Lib screamed immediately after, her daughter, approaching her, to which Juls broke away from her husband and went to meet her embracing "love! Hello! What a nice surprise!". Bart turned slowly to look at Julianne then turned to Colin; as the looks of the two men crossed, Colin stepped back, cleared his voice while staring at the floor then took courage and raised his face:". good continuation."

said outlining a smile; Bart looked at him, he was weird, he was elusive and had an idea of the real reason he had already done it:"I hope to see you tonight at the party," he replied; Colin was already on his back, stopped for a few moments and nodded back:"Sure. I'll see you tonight." He whispered then quickly resumed walking, passing by Juls, who had heard everything, and Liv, who greeted him with a quick smile.

Bart also approached the two women and laid his big hands on their shoulders:"then girls.. let's go and prepare, go on!" Julianne took his hand as she stared at him just smiling, she was actually somewhere else with her head, thinking about what had happened just before and Bart, why he had not asked her any questions. SHe was afraid he'd get it, she was afraid he'd screwed up.

Colin quickly reached the garage where his driver was still there. He was agitated, angry with himself and above all he was not ready to face that evening, he was not ready to see her with her husband. As he walks towards his car he meets Julianne's bodyguard, he hears his eyes on him, so he decides to look up, the man looked at him in a strange way, but that was the least of his problems and he didn't even bother. He got in his car and went back to his hotel.

Meanwhile, in Julianne's hotel room, preparations for the evening had begun, the makeup artists had arrived. Liv was in a room getting dressed; Juls was in the bathroom looking in the mirror, she couldn't shake that fear off.

". .hey.." whispered Bart slowly while he was entering to the bathroom, Juls gasped ".. honey", she answered him turning to him, who immediately extended his right arm "help me with the cuffs of the shirt?" continued without ever taking her eyes off, she had been staring at her for a while, she seemed absent "all right?" Julianne nodded without looking up so Bart began "What was wrong with Colin? It was strange." He pulled back his arm as soon as his wife finished putting the last cuff on him; in answer to the question, Juls shrugged ". .I think.." slightly shook his head ".. I think he's having an unhappy time in the family. .you know.." she turned away from Bart's eyes, took his cell phone that was resting at the sink "Let's go!" She looked at him in the mirror and he immediately did the same thing and nodded "go!." Julianne put her hand on his and took it and forced a smile on her face.

The event had started, the machines kept coming one after the other, the fans shouting every time a door opened. " we arrived fortunately! We're late, sir, we can't stop, I recommend," said Luke as he set up some papers he was going to put in his briefcase; Colin was completely absent, staring out the window and as soon as the car stopped, he got out.

In that moment, among the many screams there was a loud voice, "Colin! Colin! Please! Please! Please!" And he turned immediately and looked at the girl who kept screaming as she moved her hands to be seen.

"Sir, they're waiting for us." The assistant told him , trying to get him off the red carpet, but he shook his head then made a gesture with his hand "one minute Luke." and set out for the girl. " Hello!" He greeted the fan, who looked at him perplexed in disbelief, but after realizing that he was right there in front of his eyes he started talking "oh my God! Colin! You look great! Fantastic" the man laughed as he autographed the dvd he held in his hand "thank you" whispered, but his voice was dominated by that of the girl who just saw Julianne screamed "oh my God! Julianne!"Colin suddenly turned around and saw her, was walking away from the Red Carpet and was accompanied by her husband -"My God! You two are perfect! Let's get together!! Get married!" as soon as the actor heard these words remained motionless for a few seconds, then he turned and looked at the girl. He sketched a smile trying to mask the contrasting emotions he was feeling at the time. She whispered one last time to the fan, "Thank you, good evening." Then she turned around and joined Luke with whom she entered the cinema.

They took a stand and began to present the film. Julianne was the first to go on stage, followed by her colleagues. Colin stared at her from the balcony of the cinema and even if at that moment he only felt hatred for what had happened, he couldn't help thinking about how beautiful she was.

(P.O.V Julianne)

I kept looking for him in the crowd, but I couldn't find him. The audience was full of people and the lights on the stage didn't help. But.. was he really there?

"Honey, Liv and I are going to Jack's, see you outside?" Bart whispered in my ear as I sat down again in my place and I nodded without looking at him. I held my hands tight while staring at the big screen. A few minutes before the end of the film we got up and slowly we walked towards the exit, at that precise moment I felt to grab my hand.
