A few hours later the two had done as much packing as they could but decided to take a break especially since it was late at night. They were both lying on their stomach in Keira's living room on the white carpet over the wood floor looking at Keira's family photographs.
"That was me and Caleb on my 5th birthday" said Keira as she pointed to a picture where she and Caleb were both hugging.
"Oh my God" whispered Orlando as he looked at the pictures. "You were so tiny."
He couldn't believe that the woman sitting next to him was once that tiny, small, and round little girl.
Keira giggled. "Yea, I was" she started. "And so was Caleb, but I always saw my big brother as the biggest and strongest thing in the world."
"That's sweet" said Orlando as he turned the page. When he did he saw a picture of a sleeping little 3-year old Keira wrinkling her nose.
"My dad said I use to that a lot" said Keira as she looked at her picture. "Thankfully I've out grown that" she said.
Orlando looked at her when she wasn't looking and grinned.
"Of course you have" thought Orlando. He knew that she didn't since every night he sees her and smiles every time.
They kept looking through pictures until a thought popped into Keira's head.
"Should I tell him about Rupert now?"
She decided to follow her gut and just tell him.
"Orlando" she said as she looked at the pictures.
"Uhm?"
"We'll be heading to L.A in a few days right?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"No reason" she said as she turned the page. "Just thinking of meeting up with an old friend."
"That sounds like fun. What friend?" asked Orlando as he put the photo album back in its place and took out another.
Keira breathed in before she spoke. "Rupert."
Orlando's eyes immediately looked towards Keira who had a nervous expression.
"You're not going to run away with him are you?" he asked her with a smirk as he continued to look at her.
Keira smirked as she shook her head. "I promise you I'll try not to."
Orlando's eyes grew wide before Keira laughed. "I promise I won't."
Orlando smiled at her before he looked at the pictures again.
"So you're okay with this?" Keira asked still a little worried.
Orlando looked at her again and nodded. "Rupert is a good man. He took care of you when I wasn't there and he let you go when I came back-" he said as he touched the side of her face.
"Lord knows how hard it must have been for him to let her go" Orlando thought as he touched her soft cheek.
"-and I trust you" he continued out loud. "I know I joked about it before but I know you wouldn't run away with him" he said with a small grin.
Keira loved how understanding he was and she was a little surprised. A small part of her expected him to be mad.
"Thanks" she replied with a smile. "Maybe you could come a long then. You two would probably get a long."
Orlando wasn't entirely sure if that was a good idea but he saw it as a chance to thank Rupert for everything.
The two quickly packed everything up the next few days and then flew out to L.A.
"All passengers it is now safe to remove your seat belts."
Orlando unbuckled his as carefully as he good so he wouldn't wake a sleeping Keira on his shoulder. When he removed his, he removed Keira's without waking her up.
"All passengers thank you for flying with us today and may you have a wonderful trip."
"Keira" Orlando whispered in her ear. She slowly opened her eyes as Orlando continued speaking. "We're here."
Keira slowly sat up as she pushed her hair back from her face.
"What time is it?" she whispered.
"3:45 a.m."
Keira glared at him and growled. Orlando laughed because he had forgotten how cranky she could get when she was tired.
"I know, I'm sorry love. Let's get our luggage and head over to the hotel so that both of us could rest."
Keira nodded as they both got up and exited the plane. When they walked into the air port the guards quickly walked with them in order to protect them from paparazzi and fans.
They walked over to retrieve their luggage when they heard someone yell out Orlando's name.
Keira and Orlando both looked over to the exit a good few safe feet away and saw a swarm of paparazzi.
"At 4 in the morning even?" Keira asked amazed. Orlando looked at her realizing that even though she was use to paparazzi, she wasn't use to that many since she lived in London.
"I know. Just hold my hand and follow me" he said as he put on his baseball cap and aviators. Keira put her hat on as well and her Chanel Sunglasses as she grabbed Orlando's hand who was walking in front of her. The two quickly made their way towards the door and faced the paparazzi.
"Orlando! Over here!"
"One picture!"
"Where are you guys coming from?"
"Secret romantic vacation?"
"Knightley! Keira Knightley!"
"Have you kept in contact with Rupert Friend?"
"What do you think of Kate Bosworth's new film?"
"Wait! One more question!"
The two didn't listen as they made their way to their car where Alex, Orlando's friend, was waiting in the driver's seat.
Alex got out as he quickly shook Orlando's hand and hugged Keira before grabbing their luggage and putting it in Orlando's car trunk.
Keira climbed into the back seat and was careful not to let her long yellow cotton dress get stuck in the door as Orlando closed it. He climbed in the passenger seat in the front before Alex drove away from the mob of paparazzi.
"Please one picture!" they heard one last paparazzi say before they drove away.
"That wasn't so bad" Keira said as she took of her head to let her hair down.
Orlando smiled as did the same as well.
"So guys how was London?" said Alex as he looked at the road. "Got everything packed up?"
"It was good and everything's ready to go. It should arrive at my place in a few weeks" Orlando replied.
"That's good. Keira you're going to have so much fun decorating the house because the only thing Orlando seems to have there is a bed and a chair" Alex said with a grin. "Every blue moon we might find some food in his fridge but don't get your hopes up."
Keira laughed as Orlando rolled his eyes.
"You would think that a man with so much money would have his house all dolled up but no. Keira I swear, a mouse's house is more decorated."
Keira could not stop laughing as she heard all of this.
"Hey! It's not my fault! I'm just not the decorating sort of person!" Orlando said.
"Ha! No your right, you're just the lazy as hell type of person!"
Keira was laughing so hard to the point where she couldn't breathe and this made Alex and Orlando both laugh as well.
They three continued talking until they reached their hotel. Unfortunately there were paparazzi there as well.
Orlando got out first before he opened the door for Keira. Alex got out to hand them their luggage and to walk them inside.
Alex walked in front of Keira followed by Orlando and all three tried to avoid questions asked.
"How is filming going?"
"What do you guys plan to do after pirates!"
"Would you guys consider pirates four!"
"Orlando is it hard working with your girlfriend on a film?"
"How do you guys separate business from pleasure?"
The three were successfully able to make it inside where Orlando and Keira said good bye to Alex. When he had left the two took the elevator up to their room on the fifth floor and opened the door.
The room there were in was huge and more of a condo. It had a huge living room area, two walk in closets, a massive bed room with a canopy bed, and a bath room with two sinks, a shower, and a massive bath tub.
It all seemed to have an aquatic theme to it.
Their bed room had a clear view of the hotel's beautiful pool.
"Gorgeous" thought Keira as she went to leave her luggage in her closet. Orlando did the same and decided that he would put his clothes away later.
He walked into their room and placed his watch on the dresser as he took it off. He smirked as he saw Keira in her bra and underwear in her closet as she changed into something more comfortable. Orlando finally looked away as he took off his baseball cap and T-shirt. When he was fully changed into his pajama pants, Keira came out in a short silk light purple night gown with spaghetti straps. She climbed into the bed and quickly fell down.
"I'm so tired" she mumbled as she rubbed her eyes.
Orlando grinned as he climbed in as well and gave her a light peck on the lips.
"Get some rest love" he said as he laid his head on her chest. Keira played with his curls as she thought about the long day ahead of her.
"I have so much to do" she said as she sighed. "I have the rehearsal, the last minute fitting, the fashion show at night, and before that our lunch with Rupert-"
Orlando didn't mind going to lunch with Rupert as he once did. He figured that everyone was an adult here so it was fine.
"Don't worry" said Orlando "everything will get done."
Keira gave him a small smile before the two went to bed.
