Chapter 2

She stared at Ed in disbelief, what was she thinking last night? Of course he was back with Jess, he loves her not you, she thought. She was still thinking about how stupid she was that she didn't even notice Ed coming towards her and grabs her hands. Once she felt his touch on her she shivered and came back to reality. Before he could say something she removed her hands from his grip. She went to the door and opened it a little. Jess was tearing and Leighton couldn't believe what she had just done to one of her friends. She felt guilty, but at the moment she wouldn't let her know about what happened.

- Jess, I'm sorry but I don't know where Ed is. Said Leighton preventing Jess form entering her place.

- Let me in Leight, I know he is your friend and he is here, I swear this time I didn't do anything to him, I don't know why he didn't came home, just let me in

- I told you I don't know where he is, I'm really sorry Jess. Said Leighton meaning it for the rest of the things that Jess would never know. I have to get ready for the scenes, can we talk about it another time?

- Come on Leight don't be such a bitch I know he's here, I talked to his friends yesterday and they told he was talking on the phone with you last time they saw him, so please, move, I need to talk to him, I didn't do anything this time, I swear you, I didn't cheat on him you don't need to protect him this time. I know you're his friend, but you're mine too, so please Leight, let me in.

- I know, Jess, I know, but...

Before Leighton could say something more, a voice came from behind her.

- Leight, let her in, I'll handle that, said Ed opening the door and revelling his presence in Leighton's flat.

- You didn't know uh? Said Jess walking in pretty pissed off

- It's not her fault

- What did I do Ed?

- Jess, we are not together and... but Ed was cut off by an oblivious Jess

- Ed what are you talking about?

- Jess I told you we're not together and you know it

- NO I DON'T KNOW screamed Jess

They started to argue and Leighton watched in disbelief to the situation. She wasn't sure of what was happening. She could clearly listen to Ed stating to Jess that they were not together and that he already told her he wasn't in love with her anymore. Leighton couldn't understand why she was so mad at Ed, so mad that she couldn't even understand well what Ed was trying to say to Jess. While Leighton was staring at the couple not understanding a single word, Ed was telling Jess that she hadn't the right to interfere with his private life anymore because he didn't care about her. But, the only thing that Leighton could think about was the reason why Ed slept with her if he was with Jess and also what last night was about. All in a sudden she started to feel pretty angry, sad, stupid and hurt all together, so she did the only thing that she could manage to do. Shout Aloud.

- Get out of my house, she screamed leaving Ed and Jess with open mouth.

- Hey Leight calm down, what the hell is into you? Said Jess looking at her with disbelief

It was there that Jess noticed, she noticed Leighton's face, and the way Ed looked in worry at her, then she saw Ed's t-shirt on her. In a sudden she was on Leight screaming and punching with Ed trying to hold her form hit Leighton.

- You little bitch! How dare you? You Knew I was with Ed, You knew it!

- YOU'RE NOT WITH ME! Shouted Ed taking Jess from an elbow and throwing her out of Leighton's apartment.

Ed knew that Jess would cause a scene and he didn't want to let that happen in Leighton's palace, so he stare at Leighton before saying

- I should probably take her home and calm her down before she causes a scene and paparazzi make a fun of it. You ok?

She nodded, she knew he was right, but she also wanted him to stay, to explain her why he cheated on Jess with her, if she was another of his one night stand. So she nodded and waited for the door to close. Her eyes were full of tears so the only thing she could do was go to take a shower before going to the set.

Ed stayed there, in the elevator, with locked jaw thinking on how he would have stayed with Leighton, hug her and kiss her, instead of staying with a mad Jess. But he didn't want to cause a media takedown on them, but especially on Leight. So he walked out and took a taxi before someone could see them leaving Leighton's building.

Leighton was really hurt, she didn't know if she was more shocked about what have just happened or for what happened last night with Ed. She knew that anger was left, but she still felt sad, really sad, for how stupid she was. But last night felt so well, so right, she couldn't believe that he had used her. She thought they were friend after all. She couldn't believe that Ed used her risking their friendship. She knew him quite well to know that if he wasn't sure about what he was doing last night, he wouldn't have done it. But, in the same time, she knew that Jess neither would lie on her private life like that. She didn't know that they were back together, that was sure, because if she knew it she wouldn't have done anything of what she did last night, exactly like two years ago, when a drunk Ed hit on her at a party and she pushed him away, obviously with regret. Finally she arrived at the stage, she was late but she preferred to be late than have to see Ed before the take. They had to film the car accident scene, so it was really impossible not seeing him at all. She went to the dress room where she found Blake.

- Hey Leight! Are you ok? You have a really bad face, haven't you slept well?

- uh hey, yes, no, I mean I really need a friend to talk to, please close the door!

Blake had a worried expression on her face, Leighton was always so sunny and positive

- what's happened? Tell me, you know you can count on me!

- It's that I really don't know what it's just happened! I need to figured it out before starting to role the scene with Ed-

- It has something happened with Ed? You two used to be so good friends! did you two fight or something?

- well, I don't know if we're on a fight. It's that this morning it was a crap! I couldn't even look him in the eye and I don't know what to think

- wait wait wait...this morning when, and where? because I arrived just a minutes leather then him and you arrived just now...

- we slept together

- whaaaaaaat? OMG I'm so excited for you two! it had to happen!

- no no B wait before being so happy

- uhh, was him so bad? asked Blake stealing a smile to Leighton

- ahah no, not at all

- ohhhh so sweeet, tell me, tell me...how was him? Rude and strong or sweet and romantic? How how?

- B! really just calm down and help me to understand what I should do because I can't stand to see him right... Before she could finish the sentence a crew member entered the room and interrupted the two girlfriends

- Hey Girls are you ready? Come on Leighton go to the make-up room and then please get ready for the scene! The crew member told her while she was pushing her out of the room.

Leighton gave a look to Blake and she smiled to her making a sign to remember her that everything was gonna be alright.

Ed was ready for the scene and to see Leighton too. He wanted to talk to her before starting the scene he needed to let her know that Jess wasn't his girlfriends that they were over and that he wanted her, not Jess, only her.

He saw her coming and she could say from her face that she was upset and this made him scared of losing her. He knew her too well to know that that face could only lead to a period of silence, a very long one. She could feel Ed's eyes on her, she knew that she should probably talk to him soon or lather. She gave him a small smile before entering the limo fallowed by Ed and some crew member with the cameras that fixed everything and then left to prepare some other things for the take. It was the moment thought Ed, he knew that Leighton wouldn't be easy to reach after what happened in the morning but he needed to talk to her, and that was the moment.

- Leight, I'm sorry about this morning I really would like things would have gone in a different way.

He waited for a sign form her, but she was looking on the floor, so he kept talking.

- Listen, Jess said something wrong this morning. Yes it's true, we hang out, but she knows that I don't love her anymore. She's not my girlfriend Leight. If she would have been I couldn't cheat on her with you especially. Please Leight talk to me, please, you're killing me, last night was amazing I can't just erase the tape and keep going on with my life after what happened.

At this Leighton finally look up at him. Her eyes were still sad, but Ed hoped that she could forgive him. She opened her mouth to say something, but the crew member walk in the Limo and she came back to stare at the floor. Ed's eyes were fixed on her for all the time of the 5 takes of the scene, he never left her, he kept staring and searching for a sign that she would have give him a chance to explain. Ed thought that also if she wouldn't let him, he would have take this chance by himself because he didn't want to lose her. So at every take they did, he kissed her even more passionately searching in every kiss the memory of that night.

Kissing him was pure torture. Every kiss was a flash of the night of passion they just shared. She was thinking about his words, about what he told her before starting the takes. She had so much things to ask him, so much things she wanted to say. Her mind was so full of thoughts that was really difficult to concentrate on the lines. At the 10th take the director called for a break told them to concentrate more. It was impossible thought Ed, but another time he had the chance to talk to Leight. The director was still talking to her, Ed noticed that she was really having an hard time to concentrate and he knew it was his fault. So he went after her and blocked her before she could runaway.

- Leight, did you listen what I told you before?

She nodded

- So? Talk to me, ask me anything, I don't want to ruin what happened last night

- I don't know what to say. I can't understand why you didn't tell me about Jess before. I don't want to hurt her, she a friend of mine and now she calls me bitch and God knows what else she is going to say. I know her, she is able to make a fool out of me in front of the world.

- Calm down Leight, we need to talk, come on, I have to tell you something, come with me. Said Ed taking Leighton's hand and leading her inside its changing room.

She followed him in silence staring at their interweaved hands and feeling again so good next to him. Once inside, he locked the door behind him without breaking the contact with Leighton's hand. He turn to look at her and he thought she was so nice in the Woldorf style dress.

- I'm sorry

- For what?

- For leaving you this morning

- I understand that

- No you don't Leight. Said Ed stroking her hand still interweaved with his. I only left because I know Jess and I didn't want anything wrong happen to you.

- I understand, you told me this morning you didn't want to cause a scene and I knew it was the right thing to do, but Ed...why didn't you tell me about you and J..

- Me and Jess it's something that doesn't exist Leight, I didn't tell you because Jess is not my girlfriend and you know that too

- Ed, you slept with her, she was waiting for you last night. She wouldn't be your girlfriend, but she is with you! You should've told me!

- No Leight, she isn't. You have to believe me! Me and Jess, we went out some month ago because she wanted to apologize for you know..cheating on me...and so I went and we you know...

- Stop Ed, I can infer, but it was on February right? I remember you told me, but I thought it was one night only Ed, how could you keep that from me yesterday? Asked a little mad Leight whilst taking her hand off Ed's grip and making a step backward.

- Leight please, please listen, please. I won't lie to you, I slept with her once in a while during these months, but she means nothing to me and I told her and she was ok with that. But over the last month she started to become strange and attached and I started to push her away. I didn't plan to end up in your apartment last night and I didn't plan to...

- Ok Ed I know, I didn't plan it either, but that doesn't mean that we have done the right thing ok?

- What do you mean Leight? Asked Ed moving closer That you want to forget what happen yesterday?

- No, yes, no...I don't know, it's that I don't want to get hurt and I don't want to screw up our friendsh...

- Bullshit Lieght! Shouted Ed coming even more closer to her and caressing her harm making Leighton shiver under his touch. Leight, you can't deny that last night was amazing, we don't have to stop, we can see what happen, we can be together, so stop being a coward and listen to what I have to say here and right now, then you are free to take your choice and If you say that we have to forget about our wonderful night of passion, I will leave you alone.

Leighton stared at Ed with sparkling eyes, of course last night was amazing and also if she wanted to forget what happened it was really impossible. So she nodded making Ed understand that she was ready to listen to him. Ed pressed his lips on her forehead before leaning back on the table to better stare in her eyes.

- This morning when I left with Jess I told her a lie to make her shout up. I told her that nothing happened between me and you and that I asked you to deny me to her. I told her that I needed a friend to talk about and that you had my shirt on only because you liked it and I give it to you to thank you for your support. She was hard to convince but at the end she believed me and this to tell you that she won't cause a public take down about yesterday.

He paused and Leighton nodded, but she still couldn't understand if Ed was or not with Jess.

- Weel, in this way you solved me a very big problem with Jess, but it doesn't explain to me if you two are still together or if she believe so.

- Do you know what was the first thing I told Jess after leaving your appartment?

- That nothing happens between us?

- No, that..

But before he could finish his sentence, a knock on the door advised them that the brake was over and they had to come back to work, or act. The two of them followed the crew member to the limo. This time they were more relaxed and also if Leighton was still confused, she was able become Blair Woldorf and declare her love to Chuck Bass. They were even able to make their usual jokes during the scene, laughing and being just them.
