Three days later they were back to work. It had been almost a month and Juliette still had nothing. She wasn't panicking yet she still had two more months. She was in the hotel walking to the elevator. Her cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said as she pushed the button for the elevator.
"Hey." John said.
"Hi John."
"Are you busy tonight after the show?"
"No." The elevator opened. Juliette got on. Paige was standing there.
"Dinner tonight?"
"Sure." "Are we meeting at the restaurant or what?"
"No let's go back to the hotel first we'll take my car."
"Ok."
"See you tonight."
"Ok."
"Bye."
"Bye." She hung up and looked at Paige. "Hi Paige."
"Hi." Paige said. "So another date with your good friend tonight?"
"Yeah."
"Why don't you to just get it over with?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You can cut the sexual tension between you two with a knife."
"We're friends."
"Yeah friends who want to get naked."
"You sound like my sister."
"She must be a wise woman." The elevator dinged. They got off.
"See you later."
"Bye."
Later that night after the show John picked Juliette up. He knocked on the door. She answered.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"Wow you look beautiful."
"Thanks." "You look pretty good yourself."
They were at the restaurant. Juliette was looking over the menu.
"Are you sure you don't wanna split the check?" She asked. "This place is pretty pricy."
"Juliette why do you always worry about the money?"
"You shouldn't be spending so much on me." "I don't deserve it."
"Yes you do."
After dinner they drove back to the hotel. John got out and opened the door for her. They went into the hotel. John pressed the button for the elevator. It dinged. They got in.
"Come to my room with me." He said. "I have something to give you."
"Something to give me."
"I bought you a present."
"You shouldn't have done that." "You already treat me to well."
"Just come to my room and let me give it to you."
"If it's any kind of jewelry I'm giving it back to you."
"It's not jewelry."
When they got to his room they went inside. They were standing there.
"Ok close your eyes." John said.
"Ok." She closed them. A few seconds passed. She felt something soft in her hands.
"Ok open." When she opened her eyes she saw a teddy bear that looked just like Winnie. "It's just like the one your dad gave you."
"Thank you." She said with tears in her eyes. She hugged him. "This is so sweet."
"You're welcome." "Don't cry."
"I'm sorry I don't mean to." She looked at him. "No one has ever done anything for me this nice before." She kissed him pulling away a few seconds later. She turned her back to him. "What am I doing?"
"No." "It's ok." "Juliette." He turned her around to face him. "I liked it." "I've wanted that to happen for a long time." He kissed her. She kissed him back. She wrapped her arms around his neck and they continued to kiss.
"What are you doing Juliette?" She thought. "Stop it." "You shouldn't be doing this." "You're breaking the rules." "John is just a job just a- "He's a great kisser." "No!" "Stop it." "This is wrong on so many levels." She broke the kiss.
"I had a great time." She said. "I have to go."
"Can't you stay?"
"I have to get up early tomorrow."
"So do I." "I was hoping…He kissed her. She kissed him back. …we could go…in the bedroom." He said in-between kisses. She broke the kiss.
"I can't." "Not tonight."
"Ok." He walked her to the door.
"Thank you for the bear."
"You're welcome." He kissed her. "I'll call you tomorrow.
"Ok." "Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Juliette got on the elevator. She looked at the teddy bear.
"What's happening to me?" She thought. "I know I have to stay professional." "Why does he have to be so sweet and charming and great?" "Once he finds out who I really am he'll hate me forever." Tears were in her eyes. "I don't want to hurt him." "I'll eventually have to." Tears went down her cheeks. "I don't have a choice."
