Chapter 6: The revelation part 1.

Today was the first day back on the set. The cast had all turned up on time and were preparing themselves for filming. Kelly was having her hair and make-up done when Peter came over to her.

"I need to talk to you." He said.

"Not right now you don't" said the director, "we need you guys for the rehab scene. We're gonna film that first."

"We'll talk once we film this scene" she smiled softly.

-

"So you should be coming home any day now right? Just give me a heads up so i can make sure the house is liveable"

" i just need to sit down with the doctor soon. See if I'm eligible."

"We'll I'd better go. Back to work"

They kiss.

"let me know what the doctor says". Kirsten nods as Sandy turns and walks away.

"CUT! All right guys that's a wrap. Good job. Peter we need you aain in an hour."

-

They went to Peter's dressing room. Before she could speak Peter grabbed her in his arms and kissed her suddenly.

"Hmmm I've been dying to do that for two days now!" He said.

"Did you talk to your wife?" She changed the mood.

"I started to. I got as far as telling her i was leaving but then the kids came in and i couldn't do it on front of them. That's just too difficult."

Recognising slight regret in his tone she took him in her arms and hugged him tightly.

"At least you tried" she whispered running her fingers through the back of his hair.

"I'll keep trying until i succeed" he promised. "I mean it we will be together soon."

At that they were disturbed by a knock on the door.

"Peter your wife is here" the voice behind the door shouted. "She wants to speak to you."

"Erm ok send her in" he shouted back. Turning to Kelly he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and said "Well i guess there is no time like the present!"

Kelly's heart skipped a beat. OH MY GOD! She thought. He was going to do this right here, right now. She felt the colour drain from her skin. Her heart skipped another beat as she saw his wife approach them. This is the closest she had ever been to her and it was a little too close for comfort! She felt like she was about to pass out as she reached for the arm of the chair.

"Ermm, I'll leave you two alone to talk" Kelly suggested looking at peter for assurance.

"No." He said. "that's ok my wife isn't staying long."

His wife shot him a look that could kill. She obviously wanted them to be alone.

"I want her to stay" Peter demanded without raising his voice.

"Fine" his wife attempted to look not bothered but she clearly was. "I just came to say that i know you didn't mean what you said yesterday before the kids interrupted and i understand that you were just over tired so I'm not mad. I just think we've been..."

He cut her off. "I meant every word i said yesterday to you!" He spoke with the same grace he always did keeping his tone calm and collective. However Kelly could totally tell he was frustrated.

"Oh no... Honey.. no you didn't. You love me. I know you do. We're good together we could maybe go away for a while just the two of us and sort out this whole mess."

"You're unbelievable" he said now angry. However Peter's wife kept rambling on hoping she could change his mind.

The whole situation made Kelly feel uncomfortable as she sat awkwardly on the arm of the sofa. She hated the fact that his wife kept pleading with him not accepting his decision. what if she managed to win him round and suddenly what they had was worthless. She just hated the way they were arguing. If she was honest ,her heart felt for the poor woman that stood on front of her and Peter begging.

"Stop!" Peter shouted all of a sudden at his wife. "Just stop".

"We need each other" she whimpered before obeying.

"No," he said quietly "I need Kelly"

Never in her life had Kelly seen someone so hysterical. But when Peter muttered those last few words the woman went from being distraught to being inconsolable. She shot Kelly the most evil of all looks suddenly realising what was happening.

"I don't want to hurt you," Peter began "but I'm leaving you. I'm moving in with Kelly. I'm so sorry you found out here like this but i love her and you are the one who always told me to follow my heart. All i want is to be with Kelly". He turned around and took Kelly's hand in his before smiling at her looking proud of himself. She smiled back at him.

"What are you smiling at Bitch?" His wife spat. "Sine when have you two had anything?"

"Well I've felt for Kelly for months but nothing happened between us until fairly recently" he answered. He was calm and when he spoke about Kelly his voice was full of passion. They were still holding hands.

"How recently?" She had now moved passed upset and right to pissed off.

"Since Rome" he replied looking a little guilty.

Once again Kelly watched as his wife's expression changed never saying a word. She couldn't help but feel relieved that her and Peter could be together now.

Suddenly Peter's wife turned sour. Her eyes like a bulls, full of rage.

"You mean to tell me that while i was alone in San Francisco thinking you would wish you were there with me you were shacked up in a hotel room with that!" She Yelled disrespecting Kelly. "You have three days to get out of my house!" She continued. "I'm going up north with the kids and you and all your crap had better be gone when i get back!"

Peter just nodded his head. That would not be a problem.

He watched as she turned and headed for the door before tuning around at staring at Kelly unimpressed. She looked at Peter with all the anger in the world.

"I hope you and your slut are very happy together! she said in the most chilling tone that anyone could possess. Then she stormed away.

"No wait a minute! Don't you dare! You have no right..."

"Peter don't" Kelly pleaded restraining him from storming out after his wife. "She wants you to react. It's so not worth it"

Peter bowed his head slightly defeated and disappointed with how the whole confrontation had turned out. Kelly could tell he was upset and guided him to the sofa where she sat holding him.

"You ok?" She whispered

"Yeah, i am now" he replied after kissing her.

-

Half and hour later Kelly lay on the sofa in her own dressing room. Peter was away shooting a scene that she wasn't involved in. In her head she kept rewinding what had happened earlier. She wished she could have maybe done more for Peter during the revelation but she hadn't wanted to interrupt of make his wife even more pissed. at least it was out in the open to his wife now and if others found out now it wouldn't be so risky. Deciding she was cold she went into her bathroom that was attached to her dressing room and decided to take a nice hot shower.

It wasn't long after she had stepped under the hot water before Peter turned up looking for her. As he entered her dressing room he could hear the shower water pattering off the ground. Smiling he opened the bathroom door and entered.

"Hey" He called.

"Oh hey" she replied swinging the shower door open.

He walked over to her and kissed her heavily on the lips before trying to pull away. She grabbed his tie playfully forcing him nearer the hot falling water and her soaked body.

"I think you should wash my back for me" she laughed before using her hands to throw water over him.

"Awww you got my shirt all wet!" He complained.

"well in that case you might just have to take it off" she said already working on the buttons. He also slipped out of his tie, pants and boxers.

He stepped towards her before he stopped and smiled.

"What?" she asked

"we are officially a couple" he said giddily "we don't have to hide that from anyone anymore."

"hmmm well not everyone knows yet, but the hardest bit is out of the way and technically we're not having an affair anymore"

"I'll celebrate that" He cheered as he pulled her over to him and walked both of them into the shower.

Kissing like their lives depended on it they enjoyed each other. Their tongues circling the other's and their hands roaming each other's bodies. Peter lifted Kelly up and she wrapped her lags around his waist. Kissing her chest her pushed her up against the wall causing her to squeal when the coldness of the wall collided with her back. Entering her he lightly thrusted making them both moan. It felt so right. They climaxed together before collapsing to the floor in a heap.

They emerged from the shower a few minutes later but remained in the bathroom. Not quite finished with her yet Peter laced his fingers with hers as he approached her again. They began kissing again. Each kiss carrying a different message. trailing his kisses down her neck then back up to her mouth she moaned.

"I love you Peter Gallagher" She breathed.

"I love you too".

They had been so caught up in each other they were completely oblivious to everything around them. Even to the fact that someone had entered Kelly's dressing room looking for her.

Giggling Kelly couldn't stop kissing Peter. She knew that they had to get dressed again but she really didn't want to. All she wanted to do was be in Peter's arms forever.

"Kelly?"

No answer.

"Kelly, did Peter find you earlier?"

Still no answer.

Hearing noises from the bathroom the intruder approached the door before pushing it open and getting the shock of their life and one most certainly did not expect. Peter was up against Kelly who was up against a wall and they were making out wrapped in only towels.

"OH MY GOD!" Now they heard the voice.

"Shit!" Peter yelled as they both ,stunned, looked round at the third person.
