The next morning Orlando woke up with Keira laying on top of him. He carefully and gently lifted her up just enough so he could slide out. He stood up and quietly got into the shower. He immediately started getting dressed and as he put on a pair of jeans he smiled at a sleeping Keira who showed no intention of waking up anytime soon even though it was 12:00. He took advantage of her being asleep to call someone he was anxious to talk to.
"Orlando, although I'm happy to hear from you I can't say that this call doesn't surprise me" Will Knightley said as he and his wife Sharman sat at their table reading the news paper. "What can I help you with?"
"Ask him how Keira and Caleb are" Sharman whispered to Will as he listened to Orlando on the phone.
"How are Keira and Caleb?"
"They're both perfectly fine" Orlando said as he leaned against the hotel dresser looking at a sleeping Keira, "I actually am calling with some news. Keira and I have reconciled-"
"That's wonderful!" Will said interrupting. "Orlando and Keira are back together."
"Oh how wonderful! Congratulations!" Sharman said with a wide smile. She knew that her daughter had suffered greatly not having Orlando by her side and she as a mother suffered as well watching her child go through heart ache. Sharman was relieved to hear that now that was all over.
"Thank you, I really am happy and lucky to have her back" Orlando started "which is why I would like to talk to you and Sharman as soon as possible face to face. The entire cast is currently in L.A., just for this night and I was hoping to be able to have lunch with you."
Both Sharman and Will agreed without a problem and as soon as they hung up Orlando dialed someone else.
"Lisa, I need a favor" he said as he searched for a shirt to wear. "Do you think you could hang out with Keira and keep her busy for the day?"
"Oh please, duh, of course I can" Lisa said as she laid on her couch flipping through magazines. Slowly she started sitting up and she grew curious. "Why though may I ask?"
"I'll tell you later" Orlando said silently finally having found a shirt. He decided on going with a light blue polo. "I'll even let you come with me if you are able to keep her from suspecting anything."
"Go with you where?" Lisa said Orlando having her full attention now. "Please tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, pleeeeease!"
"Nope" Orlando said with a grin. "Bye Lisa."
"No Orlando wait!-"
Orlando chuckled as he hung up on Lisa and at that moment Keira woke up realizing Orlando was no longer next to her.
"Orlando?" she whispered sleepily as she had just woken up. She patted the side of his bed to check if he was there and grew worried when he wasn't.
"Morning sleep beauty" Orlando whispered as he walked over to her. He kneeled down to face her on the bed as he placed a kiss on her forehead.
Keira gave him a small smile before giving him a confused expression. "Where are you going?" she asked as she sat up a bit and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Orlando gave her a smile before placing another kiss on her nose. "I'm about to leave to have lunch with some director about a film he wants me to do" Orlando lied to keep Keira from having any suspicions.
"I got dressed quietly in order not to wake you" he said as he pushed back some loose hairs that were in her face. "But I can see now that that planned didn't turn out as I had hoped it would."
Keira smiled for a second until she frowned as she groaned in disagreement. "Don't go" started as she leaned her forehead against his. "Stay, just stay here and hold me."
Orlando chuckled as he pulled her close and placed a small kiss on her lips. "I wish I could but this meeting is very important and I can't miss it even though I really want to."
Orlando watched disappointment grow in Keira's big eyes which caused him to feel extremely guilty. However he knew there was no other way to keep her from suspecting anything. He instantly said something to cheer her up. "On the bright side however" he started "this gives you time to spend with Lisa."
Keira groaned again before she stole a kiss from him. "Very well then" she said "but this does not go forgotten" she said pretending to be mad. She turned on her side to face the opposite direction of Orlando symbolizing that she no longer wished to speak with him.
Orlando chuckled once again before wrapping his arms around her and pulling her towards him once again. "Is that the proper way to say good bye Miss Knightley?"
Keira playfully rolled her eyes before placing another kiss on Orlando's lips. As soon as she pulled away Orlando leaned in and kissed her again, deeper and longer. When they pulled apart Keira had the biggest smile on her face.
"Come back to me soon" Keira said as she touched the side of Orlando's face. She knew he wouldn't be gone forever, but she would miss him even if he were gone for a second. That's how deep her love was for him.
Orlando smiled as he nodded and held her chin in his hands. "I will, believe me" Orlando said with a smile. "Nothing or no one" he said looking Keira right in the eye letting her know that he was talking about Edward Russo "will ever make me stay away from you again."
Keira looked at him seriously before getting reaching over to her night stand. Orlando watched curiously wondering what she was getting but she quickly revealed it to him. In her hand she was hold her skull ring, the other half to his.
"Promise?" She asked with desperate, sad eyes that could break anyone's heart. This promise renewal was extremely important to her. It symbolized that no matter what, they would get through everything together.
Orlando having the same serious expression slid his off his finger as he also held it in his hand. He reached for and held Keira's hand letting the two rings touch. " I swear."
