“And what do you propose I do?”
“You’re a creative man, I’m sure you’ll figure something out. But in the meantime, please, for the love of all that is holy, take a fucking shower and get to work.”
“I’m not going to stand opposite that bitch and pretend like she didn’t blow my fucking world up.”
I don’t have to say who, because Kat knows exactlywhoI’m referring to.
“You don’t know it was her.”
“Yeah, okay.” I blow out a heavy breath.
“You’re an actor, Trey. If you can’t get through these next few days, then why the hell are you even doing this anymore?”
“I don’t know.”
Acting used to be everything after I lost baseball. But without Clarke, it feels insignificant.
“Yes, you do. Because you love it. And I know it may not feel like it in this moment, but if you blow this now, you’ll never forgive yourself. The best way to get back at Brandy, is to pretend like she did nothing at all. That she is nothing. Because we both knowifshe did this…”
“If…” I shake my head.
“Fine, we both know why she did this. To hurt you. To ruin your relationship with Clarke. But as far as she knows, nothing’s happened. Nothing has been posted in the media. Hell, as far as I can tell, Clarke hasn’t said a word to anyone.”
“Because she’s not that type of person. She would never intentionally hurt me, even if I deserve it.”
“And that works to our advantage.” I open my mouth to say something but she quickly keeps going. “Because the only confirmation Brandy is going to receive is from you. So, can you pull your shit together long enough to get through the next few days until this movie is finished? Or are you going to let her win?”
I fucking love Kat, even when I can’t fucking stand her. She knows exactly what to say to light a fire under my ass.
“Fuck no, I’m not.”
“That’s what I thought. Now get up, get dressed, and get your ass to work. We can figure out what to do about Clarke in the days to come.”
And that’s when it hits me.
“Actually, I think I have an idea.” I grin, not sure why I hadn’t thought of it before. If Clarke won’t hear me out, then I’ll just have to take my apology to the masses.
“Well, that was fast.” She chuckles. “Get in the shower. We’ll talk on the way to the studio.”
“You’re going with me?”
“With the shape you’re in… You think I’m going to leave you to your own devices? Oh no. Until this movie is a wrap, I’m going to be attached to your hip.”
“Fucking great,” I mumble, throwing my legs over the side of the bed. “Just fucking great.”
