Chapter 19
Michelle just sat there in silence as John explained to her why he was leaving.
"Michelle, I didn't know the movie was going to start shooting this soon." He said trying to read the expression on her face.
"John, it's o.k." Michelle said cracking a smile.
"But…"
"But nothing, this is a big opportunity for you…and I'm so happy for you." She replied gently rubbing his arm.
"I so wish I didn't have to go." John said with a sincere look in his eyes.
"I know."
Just then one of the managers came in calling John to get ready for his last appearance on television for a while.
"We'll talk some more later." He said standing up.
"Good luck." She said giving him a quick kiss.
Michelle watched as he exited the room, she really didn't know what to think about the news, of course she was happy for him but she just wished he didn't have to go this soon. Michelle checked the time on her watch and decided to head on to work.
Michelle was on break and decided to get some fresh air. As she got out there, she took a seat on the curb letting the thoughts flow through her head.
Randy was walking by the entrance when he spotted Michelle sitting outside by herself. He knew her and knew that there was something wrong. He regretted being a jerk to her but that was him.
Michelle shivered as the wind picked up; she crossed her arms in need for warmth. She was about to get up when she felt something wrap around her.
"You looked cold." Randy replied taking a seat next to her.
Michelle was surprised to see Randy sitting there with the way he had been acting and all.
"Thanks." She replied wrapping the coat around her.
"So what's on your mind?" Randy asked looking at the ground.
"What do you care?" Michelle replied.
"Michelle, you know I do." He replied staring at her with his soft blue eyes.
"Well, with how you've been acting and all I would've thought different." She said focusing on something else.
"It's not like you've been a saint yourself." Randy shot back.
"Look if you're going to start something then…"
Randy held up his hand, "No, I'm sorry…but really what's on your mind?"
"Well, today John found out that he'll leave tomorrow to start shooting that movie he's been talking about."
"Hmm…" Randy mumbled nodding his head.
Michelle just raised her eyebrow at him, "I knew talking about John with you wasn't a good idea."
Randy just gave her a look, "But what is it you're worried about?"
"That's just it I don't know." Michelle said with a loud sigh.
"Look if you're worried he's going to cheat on you…"
"No, I know he would never do anything like that." Michelle replied tucking her hair behind her ear.
"I guess I'm just afraid of being alone." Michelle continued.
"Alone, you're not alone…you have Dave who worries about you constantly and no matter what you think I' am here for you Michelle." He replied placing his hand on her top of hers.
Michelle grabbed his hand with her free one and smiled, "Thank You." She replied looking up at him.
He pulled her into his arms giving her a hug. Michelle forgot how safe she felt in his arms, she closed her eyes and took in the moment. They broke apart and just kept their gaze on each other, their lips got closer and closer but a voice broke them apart.
"Randy, there you are." A girl said as she ran up to Randy.
"Hey!" He replied in a nervous tone.
Michelle had recognized her from earlier at the hotel, "Hi, I'm Michelle." Michelle replied holding out her hand.
"Amanda." She replied shaking Michelle's hand.
"Nice to meet you." She replied taking a quick glance at Randy.
"Same here." Amanda said with a big smile.
"Well, I think I better get back in there…here's your coat Randy." She said handing him his coat.
"Bye, Michelle." Amanda replied.
"Bye." Michelle replied before making her way back inside.
"So that's Michelle?" Amanda replied with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, that's her." He replied as he watched her walk back inside.
Well, what do we have here?? Hmm...
