Chapter 14

Bobby hesitated in front of Bambi's room on the way to his own.

He knew she wouldn't appreciate his company, especially after everything, but he missed her.

After their argument, she'd maintained a stony silence, refusing to speak to him. He tried a little at first, but Georgia, who of course saw the whole thing along with the rest of the company, warned him that a little time would probably do them both some good. He didn't have to ask how she knew what their situation was because apparently Bambi's feelings for him were obvious to everyone except for him.

It did explain a lot of things though. It explains why she was so insistent on helping him move on from Georgia, along with her outburst in his hotel room.

So he was her mystery love all along. Talk about hiding in plain sight.

God, was he oblivious or what?

The answer to that question was obvious, but the question about what he'd do was still unanswered.

He couldn't lose her. He refused to lose her, but knowing her feelings for him, he knew that he'd have to sort out any feelings for Georgia before attempting to be with her.

And after their kiss, there was no doubt in his mind that he wanted that.

It hurt him that he'd caused her so much pain. It must have been agony for her to watch him pine over Georgia, but still she stayed with him and helped him. It really put how amazing she was into perspective.

He didn't even really deserve her.

He raised his fist to knock on the door, when another door, farther down the hall opened and shut. He turned his head to find Georgia, fumbling through her purse.

She glanced up and caught his eye, offering him a sympathetic smile.

It was her smile that had had first gotten him hooked on her.

In other words, it was that smile that had gotten him into this mess, and it was that smile that was going to get him out of it.

Without giving himself time to process what he was doing, he strode to her purposefully, the look of determination in his eyes making her freeze.

Upon reaching her, he stated, "I need your help."

A look of hesitancy crossed her face before she replied, "Okay? How can I help you?"

"You're in love with Aaron, right?" he asked abruptly.

An uneasy look overtook her expression as she nodded.

"How are you sure? Like how do you know when you're in love with someone?" he continued, continuing his intense stare.

She let out a breath of relief, as if she was glad that his question was easy.

Offering him a soft smile, she answered, "Well, I guess you can never really be sure. It's something you just feel."

He offered her a look that let her know her answer had been insufficient, so she added, "Okay, well, let's think. Who is the first person you think about when you wake up?"

"Bambi," he answered easily, the reply rolling of his tongue.

"Who is the last person you think of when you go to bed?"

"Bambi."

"Who instantly brings a smile to your face when they walk in the room?"

"Bambi."

"Who do your eyes instantly begin to search for in a crowd?"

"Bambi."

"Who do you want to spend all day with?"

"Bambi."

"Well then, who are you in love with?" she concluded, eyeing him expectantly.

"Bambi," he stated, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

His eyes widened at the realization of his words. He stammered, "I-I love Bambi!"

Georgia smiled widely and nodded at him.

Although he paid it no mind, Bobby heard a door open and close behind him.

Beaming, he exclaimed, "Oh thank you, Georgia!"

Bending down, he grabbed her around the waist and spun her around, elated at the weight lifted off his chest.

As he spun, he noticed a blonde out of the corner of his eye. He quickly put Georgia down, ignoring the sound of her laughter as his heart throbbed.

Her eyes were slightly puffy, as if she'd been crying and the look of heartbreak on her face as she analyzed Bobby and Georgia was evident. Her jaw set as she made a conclusion and spun around on her heel.

"Shit," he muttered to himself before running towards the angry Bambi and leaving a very concerned Georgia behind.

"Bambi! Wait! It wasn't what it looked like," he called, racing down the hall to catch her.

She had a big head start, but he was taller and faster than her, so he knew he'd have an easy time catching up to her.

That is, until he saw her head to the elevators.

He murmured, "Shit," again and picked up his pace.

He turned the corner just as she stepped into the elevator and was shutting the door.

He ran forward and put his hand out to stop it from closing and forced it open.

Bambi's eyes widened in surprise before resuming their glare.

Breathlessly, Bobby began, "Please, Bambi, just let me explain."

"I saw enough," she stated, anger clearly in her voice.

"No, you didn't. It isn't what it looked like," he argued, urging her to give him a chance.

"Really? So you weren't getting exactly what you've always wanted?" she spat venomously.

Her words stung, but he supposed they were justified considering what she'd seen.

"No, I wasn't. Please listen to me," he begged.

She shot him a cold look and replied, "I've heard all I need to. You've clearly thought it over and made your choice. Bye."

She gave his chest a push so that he'd realize his grip on the doors. He rushed forward again, just to watch the doors close and Bambi leave.

He let out a sound of frustration as he pressed the elevator button frantically. When nothing came, he banged his hand against the closed doors and groaned, before heading toward the stairs.

Luckily, they were only on the third floor, so his run was neither difficult, not long.

He ran out of the hotel just in time to watch her climb into a cab and drive away.

He ran a hand down his face and kicked at the ground before hailing a taxi of his own.

He knew just where to find her.
