Chapter 3: He's in love
The time had finally come that Kelly and Matthew were alone together. As soon as their scene was shot he grabbed her waist, pulled her closer and hugged her while he pressed a kiss on the corner of her mouth. 'It's so good to see you! I have missed you so much', Matthew said. 'So, how have you been? How are the kids? What have you been up to these past few weeks?' He shot all these questions at her while he gently pulled away but still had his hands around her upper arms. Kelly blankly answered: 'I've been alright.' She looked away trying to avoid his eyes while he let his hands drop to her waist. Matthew apologized for overloading her with all these questions. 'What do you say about lunch? It'll be perfect for us make up for all this lost time.' Kelly was surprised he suggested lunch. She thought he would have made plans with his new piece of meat. She quickly came up with an excuse and told him she had already made plans for lunch and that she was already running late. 'Okay, I'll see you when you get back then. We both still have some scenes to shoot later today.' 'Yeah', Kelly said, I'll see you then'. 'Bye', Matthew told her with a worried face. What was going on with Kelly? Why was she so distant? 'Bye', Kelly said and turned away. After a couple of steps, she turned around and saw Matthew taking his cell phone out of his pocket. 'Making plans with her after all', she thought to herself.
After he had made a phone call to his mother who was watching Aven, Matthew decided to have lunch by himself onset. He ran into Penn who was stacking all sorts of food on his plate. 'Hey', Penn said, 'how have you been? It's great to see you again'. Both men shook hands and hugged. 'I gotta say I'm surprised to see you here. I thought you would go out to lunch with Kelly.' 'Yeah, I asked her to go to lunch with me but she already had other plans'. 'That's weird, Kelly was just here to grab a small salad. She told me you had made plans with a special lady. Who is this new woman of yours anyway? Are you two together? Are you in love with her?' After a few seconds of doing some mathematics in his head Matthew turned around and headed for Kelly's trailer. 'Yeah', Penn thought to himself, 'he's definitely in love'.
Matt went straight to Kelly's trailer and knocked on the door. 'Kell, open up, it's me, Matt'. There was no immediate response. Matthew kept banging the door while Kelly was pushing her food from one side of the plate to the other. She was frantically thinking about what to do. She had told him she was going out for lunch and here she was, hiding in her trailer. 'Come on, Kel! Open up! I know you're in there! People are starting to look at me.' After what seemed like an eternity, Kelly finally opened the door of her trailer. Matt looked her straight in the eyes and in that moment Kelly thought he knew everything that was going on inside that head of hers.
