Despite my love life, things were going pretty well with everything else. The bakery was as popular as ever, especially crowded since Beck loves to hangout there all the time. He really wasn't kidding when he said that people noticed him everyday. I wasn't complaining though, he's helping my business hehe. Jade and Beck let me stay with them a little longer because neither of them wanted me to live on my own right now. Andre agreed with that accommodation by stating that Robbie might just bother me on my own.

Andre's girlfriend, Tori Vega, came back from tour the other night and the five of us (Andre, Tori, Beck, Jade, and me) had dinner at Andre's apartment tonight. For about a good 15 minutes, Jade and I had star struck moments with Tori, shooting her a question a minute. We were slightly embarrassed but she happily answered everything we asked. After a while the three of us girls fell into comfortable vibes and became friends.

While Andre and Beck watched the game on TV, Tori, Jade and I were in the kitchen eating the last of the pie from dessert. I fell silent during the last part of dinner and naturally they were concerned.

"I'm so glad Andre has friends who know what it's like to date a public figure."

Jade and I slightly blushed, "We're sorry about earlier, Tori. We're big fans, but we really do want to be your friend," I explained.

"Yeah, if it makes you feel any better, when I introduced Beck to Andre and Rob, they freaked out."

"Haha oh boys. So Cat, did you have boyfriends who had to deal with your status? I mean you obviously are known with your acting history and your renowned bakery."

"I wouldn't call my bakery famous, but not really. I did date a tool named Danny. Jade figured out he liked me for being an actress then cheated on me after I decided to concentrate on baking. "

"What a scumbag." Tori replied.

"Yeah well since Danny, my love life hasn't been all too great."

"Oh I'm sorry, Cat. Did your next boyfriend find out about that too?"

"Uh, Tori…" Jade said timidly.

"No, it's ok Jade. We can tell her." I said dejectedly. Tori was waiting for me but I couldn't muster any words. So Jade decided to speak.

"Cat dated Robbie a couple weeks ago but they fell into a setback recently."

"Oh, he broke up with his other girlfriend? Thank God. Aw now that I see it, you two look cute together." Tori said to me.

"We went to high school with Andre and Robbie. We were best friends."

"Oh my God. Cat Valentine? So you're the girl Robbie always talked about."

"Huh?" I finally found my voice and that's all I was able to say. Stupid Cat.

"Yeah, I met him when I first dated Andre. He was crying at the bakery, which before was Miss Georgia's, and he was telling us about this girl he knew in high school that he loved but never told her. I thought it was sweet. But then we met this girl Lisa like two days later, which was strange."

"Yeah, we're on par with that part then," Jade said to Tori.

"So what happened? I don't see Robbie as the type to do anything atrocious in a relationship."

"How do I put this…" Jade was at a loss for words. Tori was anxious to hear the rest of the story and I knew we couldn't go anywhere with it if she didn't know his secret. It's not like she doesn't know the value of privacy.

"Robbie's August Love." I blurted.

"Robbie Shapiro? No way!" Tori said in disbelief.

"Yeah, and his stories and paintings were all about Cat."

"Oh my God how cute! But wait, what's the problem?"

"The problem is he's telling my secrets to the world while still preserving his own identity."

"So people found out?"

"No, but just knowing that he didn't ask my permission for this upsets me."

"Did he even try to ask you once you found out?"

"Cat's been avoiding Robbie for about a month now."

Tori reflected for a moment. "I understand where you're coming from Cat. It makes sense and you had every right to be mad, but you can't avoid him forever."

"I know that. I just don't know when or if I'll ever be ready to talk to him. I'm a mess."

Tori came over and gave me a hug. "You know what you need? One evening to let loose and just unwind. What is it that you enjoy?"

"Art, music, a nice glass of wine." I giggled.

"Well I've got just the thing. Are you and Robbie at least being civil about things?"

"I think he's getting the picture that I don't want to talk to him so he stopped chasing me to corners if he knows I'm around. Why?"

"Andre's throwing a welcome back party for me on Saturday and you ladies should go. The thing is, I too love Robbie's work and the venue was already booked months ago, before I left for tour. It's at the art gallery downtown and some of his work is displayed there."

"So Robbie might be there," Jade pointed out.

"Exactly. But hey, if you two can be civil towards each other, I think you'll enjoy yourself."

"Yeah and don't worry Cat; Andre, Beck and I will be there so we'll make sure you two keep your distance. C'mon, it'll be fun." Jade said.

"All right I'll go. But only because I'm going for Tori and Andre. Thanks you guys."
