It was August 19th. Exactly two weeks had passed since the fashion show and things could not have been any stranger Rupert did whatever he could to get near Keira and Caleb did his best to keep him away. Orlando tried his best to make sure Keira suspected nothing but she knew something wasn't right. She felt it in the way he acted, the way he spoke, the way he touched her and he just wasn't the same. Something was troubling him and as much as she tried to get him to talk, he wouldn't.

She thought about all of this as she laid in bed in the hotel she and Orlando had been staying at. Keira sighed as she turned to her side and faced a sleeping Orlando.

"What are you hiding from me?" she asked him even though she knew he couldn't hear her. She watched him sleep as she touched his head gently. "What's going on Orlando?" she whispered.

Her thoughts were interrupted as she felt her cell phone vibrate. When she saw the name she quietly and carefully got up from the bed and went to answer the phone call.

"Hello Rupert" she whispered in the door way of the bathroom making sure she was far away enough that Orlando wouldn't hear her.

"Hi Keira" Rupert replied. "Just wanted to ask you if you wanted me to head down at 2:00 to Orlando's place to help you move the last of your things."

"Oh no no it's okay, I was going to do it myself since Orlando has an interview."

"Keira I insist. What kind of man would I be if I didn't help a lady out?"

"No Rupert I really appreciate it thank you but-"

"You said yourself that Orlando wouldn't be there to help you out-"

"That's because he has a pirates interview."

"Well that's more of a reason for me to help you. I'm sure Orlando will be fine with it."

"I don't think so" thought Keira to herself not listening to Rupert at all.

"If you want I'll give him a call and ask-"

"No no no" Keira quickly said. She thought long and hard before making a decision. She didn't want to disrespect Orlando by accepting Rupert's help but some of the boxes left over were heavy. But then again if she told Orlando she needed help he would want to cancel his interview to go and help her so Rupert's help didn't seem that bad.

"Alright then, I accept your help" Keira whispered "I'll see you in two hours."

"Can't wait" was the last thing Rupert said before he hung up. Keira closed her eyes and sighed before she closed her cell phone. When she turned around she gasped in shock.

"Orlando you scared me" she said with her phone still in her hands.

Orlando gave her a small smile before noticing how odd she was acting. "Who were you talking to?"

Keira thought hard before she answered. "Lisa" she started "she wanted to know if I could join her for lunch today."

Orlando gave her a small nod as the two stayed in an awkward silence for a moment.

"I better start getting ready" Keira replied as she walked past him leaving her phone on the dresser. She felt extremely guilty but she just felt it would be better if Orlando didn't know she'd be with Rupert.

"What you don't know can't hurt you" she thought to herself in her head trying to convince herself that what she did was okay. For some reason she just thought it was better if Orlando didn't know she'd be with Rupert just in case the two really weren't getting along as she had hoped.

But Orlando wasn't stupid. He knew very well that it wasn't Lisa; he knew very well who it was.
"She lied to me" he thought to himself in his head as he looked down at her phone on the dresser. He didn't mind that she was going to see Rupert; it was the lie that hurt more.

"You need me to what?" Lisa asked Keira on the phone.

"If Orlando calls you I need you to tell him that you and I had lunch" said Keira as she started to put everything in place. "That's only if he calls-"

"Why though? Keira you know I don't like lying-"

"Lisa please I'll tell you everything later."

Lisa rolled her eyes and sighed as she and her old boss Susan were making last minute changes to costumes before everyone returned to filming in two weeks. "Fine but I want everything explained later."

"Thank you Lisa" said Keira. As soon as she heard Rupert coming up the stairs she hung up and went back to fixing her things.

"That seems to be the last of things" said Rupert as he leaned against the doorway. Keira gave him a small smile as she finished up putting away her things.

"Thank you so much for your help-"

"You know I'll always be here when you need me Keira" Rupert said flashing her a smile. "Now what do you say you and I head out to lunch."

"That's really sweet but I should be heading back to the hotel-"

"Come one. What are you going to do locked up in a hotel all day?"

Keira sighed not knowing how exactly to get rid of him. She didn't want to seem rude and she appreciated his help but she really didn't think it was a good idea to go on the public streets of LA and have lunch with him. And, she really didn't want to.

"I'm sure I'll find something" Keira said "and besides I go back to filming in two weeks, I think I should brush up on my lines a bit."

"An hour is all I'm asking for" Rupert said walking closer to her. "Please it'll be like old times."

Keira not knowing any other excuse accepted and the two drove to a restaurant called 21 Oceanfront. They ordered their meals and as they ate they talked about old times from the set of Pride and Prejudice.

"And you fell right of that horse" Keira said laughing as she mocked Rupert.

"Hey I didn't see you getting on one" said Rupert smiling.

"I didn't have to now did I. That was your job my friend."

The two laughed when Keira turned to her right and looked out the window. She hadn't noticed it had gotten so dark out.

"What time is it?" she asked quickly.

"Um it is seven on the dot."

"Seven? That late!"she asked frantically. She realized that she had been with Rupert for six hours and she told Orlando she was only having lunch with Lisa. She sighed as she realized how foolish she was to lose track of time and she sighed as she realized that she would have to make up another lie to cover up her six hours lunch.

"Late? You really need to get out more" he said laughing. He noticed that Keira seemed serious and realized that she probably hadn't told her precious Orlando that she would be spending the day with him.

"If only I could be there to see the look on your face" Rupert thought in his head.
