"Chris, who are you texting?" Lea asked curiously.

"Oh, just my boyfriend" said Chris absentmindedly, not looking up from his phone.

"YOUR WHAT?" Lea practically screamed. The entire cast turned to look at Chris as if he had uttered some disgusting swearword.

"Huh?" said Chris, still grinning stupidly at his phone.

"You just said you had a boyfriend" Lea said. "Explain please."

"Oh, did I? Well, Yes, I have a boyfriend" Chris sighed, putting his phone in his shirt pocket. "His name is James, and we've been going out a little over two months"

"Why didn't you tell me man, I'd be happy for you" It was Darren's turn to sound hurt.

Chris sighed again, playing with a piece of thread protruding from his sleeve. "I should have told you guys but I'm not gonna apologise. I know what would have happened if I said anything, and I'm not really to share my love life with the whole world yet. James and I are still getting to know each other properly, but I really like him and I didn't want to wreck anything by introducing him to my friends to quickly, and probably having the Paparazzi find out. I just wanted to keep him to myself for a little while and get to know him better."

"We understand" said Lea, giving Chris a hug. "But I wish you had told us earlier. I mean, I could have helped you with your date outfits."

"Yeah, like I need help with that" Chris joked, knowing what he would end up looking like if Lea got her hands on him.

"So when can we meet him?" asked Cory, grinning.

"He just texted me to say he's coming to get me after work. So you can meet him then, and perhaps we can go out for drinks or something if he's not too tired."

"Sounds great. Where does he work?" asked Darren.

Chris blushed a little before he answered. "He's a Nurse at LA general"

"Wow, a nurse. That sounds really interesting." said Chord. Everyone except Chris turned to look at him weirdly not knowing if Chord was joking or not. "What? It is. Think about it. You don't have as much responsibility as a Doctor. But you still get to help people, and you spend more time with the patients. Win, win. My Aunt's a nurse and she says it's the best job ever."

Everyone laughed at Chord, excluding Chris who just nodded.

"So, Chris" Mark turned to the young actor when he had stopped laughing at Chord. "Where did you meet a nurse?"

"In the hospital. Oh, it was nothing serious..." he added quickly as they all started to look concerned. "...I was just there for a routine check up, and James was there...and we got to talking, and he asked me out for a cup of coffee."

"Did he know you were gay?" asked Amber.

"Well he knows now" said Chris. Everybody laughed, but they weren't entirely sure if Chris meant what they thought he meant... "I think he was just hedging his bets actually. You don't exactly just go some place and announce that you're gay, but once we got to talking a bit – I think he figured it out."

Everyone nodded.

Chris looked at his watch. "Well, I better go get something to eat before we're back on set. I'll text James about drinks."

Hey babe. Change of plans for tonight. My friends want to meet you. Would you be opposed to going out for drinks? We can just stay home if you're too tired. CC

Hey. How's your day going? I'd love to go out with your friends tonight. Where do you want to go? JM

My day's going great, thanks. How's your day? How about Soho? CC

Been pretty busy. Looking forward to seeing you. Soho sounds great. See you after work. JM

Chris smiled and went to get his lunch.

After a gruelling day on set, everyone was feeling pretty tired. Lea was the one to round them all up and try and get them pumped for the evening. She was always so energetic, probably because of all that coffee she drank.

The Cast all trouped outside. Chris was expecting them to go their respective cars, but they just stood there.

After a few minutes of silence, Chris asked "What are you all waiting for?"

"We want to meet James" replied Dianna.

"You'll meet him tonight. Please go."

"Whyyy?" whined Dianna.

"Because I don't you falling all over him. He just got off work. I doubt he'll be in the mood."

"Aww" Dianna pouted, but everyone else just nodded.

"Come on Di. We'll see him later" said Lea, pulling Dianna away.

Chris looked greatfully at Lea. "Thanks guys. We just want some alone time before tonight" Chris said as a car pulled up. A tall brunette man got out. He was dressed in blue hospital scrubs. He opened his mouth, but they couldn't hear what he said. He then gave Chris a soft kiss on the mouth which Chris returned before jumping into the car.

"Bye guys" Chris said as he disappeared. "See you at Soho later."

They all just nodded. They were too numb to say anything. The guy was a hunk!

"Wow" breathed Lea. "That guy was fit."

Everyone laughed. Cory looked pointedly at Lea as they all got into their cars and drove out of the lot.
