Not only did he make her beg that night, he made her cry. But they where happy tears. She was overwhelmed by the love and attention he gave her day in and day out. Now that she had him for herself, she realized that she had not known what true love was before meeting him, before giving in to her feelings for him.
All too soon the long weekend came to an end and they had to get back to work. They had taken seperate cars that day, she had a much later start , so she enjoyed her extra time with her children. There was a guest star on set , who was supposed to try seduce Fitz ,and when she arrived on set she saw the actress hanging on Tony's every word, openly flirting with him. She saw that Tony was being kind, but a bit uncomfortable. Only one who knew him well would see the difference in him. She felt jealous, he was filming many scenes with the actress that week , and it was not public knowledge that her and Tony where together. She wanted to hold of on that untill after the show ended. When the scene ended she walked over and greeted the actress, before hugging Tony a long time. He kissed her cheek and held his arm around her when she took a step back. She saw the actress flinch a little at the obvious close stance between her and Tony. It was always so obvious during interviews and panels, but seeing it first hand was something else. Kerry was nice and friendly to the actress, at the same time staying close to Tony, touching him whenever it felt right. Bless his heart, he did the same as he always had, meaning he was always touching her every opportunity as well. The actress still threw in a few flirtatious vibes, before realizing that Tony had only eyes for one woman when Kerry was around. When filming resumed , Kerry was unhappy seeing the actress kiss Tony. In fact she felt horrible. So bad that she left the set all together. When everybody seemed to be headed for lunch ,she saw the actress flirting with him again. He kept trying to keep his distance, but she was clueless it seemed. Kerry felt anger and annoyance flash through her and before she knew it ,she walked up to them and wrapped her arms around her man and gave him a deep searing kiss. Tony gladly kissed her back and grinned at her : " I am not hungry, baby, are you? " She smiled a giggle escaping her : " Absolutely not, let's go." She grabbed his hand and they walked , kissing and all , rushing to her trailer. He made love to her against the wall, quick and passionatly. She sighted : " Tony, backlash be damned, i want everyone to know you are not available...will you be my date to the awards Saterday? "
Saterday came and she was nervous. Very nervous . Stepping out with him in public would start the whirlwind. But when he asked if she wanted to change her mind, she reassured him. She did not want to change her mind. " Here goes", she thought, as he stepped out of the limousine, onto the red carpet, holding his hand out for her to emerge. She grabbed it securely and stepped into the light. Flashing cameras, reporters calling, fans screaming. She felt him hold her securely and it calmed her down immediatly. Shockingly enough the reporters treated their outing like an outing between best friends and close collegues. : " How lovely to walk the carpet together with your best friend and close collegue, how is it filming the last season and how much will you miss each other when the show ends?" Her and Tony looked at each other and saw the confirmation in each others eyes. Tony took the honors : " It's wonderful to enjoy our last season working together, we are all having a great time on set with the cast and crew...As for this beautiful woman next to me, I'm going to love having more time for Kerry off screen, right love ? " Kerry nodded affirmatively : " We will still be busy, but it will be nice to have time for ourselves too. " The reporter looked stunned. Did the totally private Kerry Washington just confirm to dating Tony?: "So, are you two together in real life? Is life immitating art on the show?" Kerry piped up : " We are not immitating our characters on the show. We are two divorced people who have fallen in love with each other. " The reporter was shocked :" Well, congratulations you guys !". Tony and Kerry walked into the building, hand in hand, heads held high. When he looked at her , her smile was bright and she kissed him deeply, for all their colleagues and peers to see and when he responded by pulling her in close and with roaming hands ,she moaned in his ear : " I can't wait to get you naked in my bed tonight, Mr Goldwyn." All night long the camera's captured them , he had his arm around her basically the whole evening and they kissed often, way too proud to be out in the open. As soon as they could leave, after she won her award, they rushed home to celebrate in private.
The media had gone wild. For a few days it was trending on social media, with speculation of how long they had been together. After her now ex husband put out a supportive statement for them and of their confirmed seperation before she started seeing Tony, it turned into a love story.
And it felt good, intensely private for many years, it now felt good to love him in the open, to not have to watch every word she said around him. she had found a happy medium between her personal and proffesional life.
Not the best chapter, but i wanted to wrap this up somewhat.
