He buried himself in his work, trying hard not to think about her. She didn't come to the set. He kept looking at his phone, no message from her.
She busied herself with taking care of Kevin, she didn't contact him because she didn't know what to say to hi
He was still there in the morning, fast asleep on her couch. She watched him as the sunlight touched his face, still couldn't believe that he didn't flee as soon as she told her story. Something inside her thought it would've been easier for her if he just stood up and left because the load was too heavy to carry.
Sandy was hyperventilating by Lucas's car, her legs had given in to the panic. She slumped on the pavement and wept."Get in the car," Lucas came rushing.
John had asked her to tell him his name, he wanted to know what he looked like, where he lived. But she wouldn't tell him, she didn't want her problem to bother his work. It wasn't fair for him. Little did she know, it was weighing on his mind either way.
She spent a few hours talking with John's co-workers. All that time, John was always interrupted by fans who wanted to take pictures with him. He was used to it, and he was nice about it. She scanned the room once in a while to check on Lucas. He was drinking and sulked at the bar. Sometimes she caught him looking at her while in John's arms. She wasn't intentionally parading John in front of him, but it was hurting him nonetheless.
She was ready in the morning. The plan was to take a stroll on John's motorbike for a cross country, or cross-island, enjoy the scenery and try new things along the way. She saw him getting ready from the kitchen window. She missed him already, maybe because of how he left things the night before. Looking at him with his pillow face and messy hair was a delight. He smiled at her and waved, her heart sank, the effect he had on her was bewitching.
The last time someone touched her, she was violently violated. It was a memory she could never erase from her mind. She thought she would never feel the pleasure of it ever again, but then there was John. He was passionate and gentle at the same time, he had touched her all in the right places.
The rain fell hard that day. John ordered plenty of wine for them to stay in, literally the whole day. Drinking it off each other's body, lying naked on the bed, on the floor, on the couch. They took more showers than needed. Turned on movies they didn't really watch. She put on the bathrobe because it was cold, but he kept on taking it off of her. They just couldn't get enough of each other.
It wasn't entirely true. She was having stage fright with the whole 'dating John Brady' thing. She spent the whole day looking at her phone, reading articles, and checking out pictures of him with his previous girlfriends. There were a lot of them. She started to regret that she didn't do that before she jumped into the John Brady wagon, and had a love affair with one of the most eligible bachelors in the world.
She watched him sleep as the sunlight crept upon his skin. How much this man had changed her life, and how much she was going to miss him. She gathered herself, she swore she was going to keep it together for just a few more hours. She slowly got out of bed, put on her clothes, the last thing she wanted was to wake him up.
They held it together as best they can. Two weeks went by like a blink of an eye. Neither one of them was their usual happy self. He held her hand everywhere they went and kissed it every now and again. Those who knew him can see how terrified he was as the last day of shooting was approaching.
She dropped Kevin back at her mother's house. On the way to John's set, she stopped at La Lune. It's been two weeks and she hasn't heard from Lucas. She wanted to know how he was doing.The place was full as usual. The minute his staff saw her coming, they
Lucas took her clothes and left her to finish up in the bathroom. By the time she was done, he was gone. Patrick's body was gone. He had told her to leave as soon as she was ready, he said he would take care of everything. All the other details, she didn't have to know. She tried to put back all the stuff in its place before she left. She wanted to call him so bad but she didn't, she went straight to her cottage and spent a sleepless night alone.
He had to comply. She had the lock and key when it came to conversations about their relationship. Once she had put the lock-in, she threw away the key and he had to comply. One more month, he thought, four more weeks of chances, so he let it go for the time being.
He rented a secret beach for their getaway. Just the two of them, by the pristine beach in the suburbs. He had people set up a glam tent, away from the tide but right on the edge. It was decorated with Christmas lights. The tent was stocked up with wine and a long table of food and desserts. Everything was white right in the middle was a round king size bed.
Sandy took a week off to Bluebridge to be with Kevin. When she returned, they couldn't find their way around to meet for another week. Their bodyguards were always following them around, the next shooting break was not until two more weeks.John brooded a

"Are you alright, John? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Sonya asked."No, I'm fine ... shit!!" he ran his fingers through his hair, still annoyed by the circumstances.
