again. "I left Katy Warren behind when I came here, became Kate Parker again. No one had a clue what a crazy life quiet little Kate had before she landed here."
I smile and lean over to grab her hand. "Sounds like you could give me a run for my money; you must be one heck of an actress, Katy."
She laughs at that and it makes me smile again. I really missed her laugh, "Hardly, just very shy around a bunch of new people, a new state and city and everything else. The few times I do go home, it's almost like I'm living someone else's life. Things there are all interconnected to our life together and I--just can't handle all the reminders," she whispers, looking down, and I frown. Memories of us should make her happy, not bring her down.
I reach over and tilt her head up to look at me. "I want there to be a life together again, Katy. No more of this nonsense." I wave my arm around the room. "You belong with me."
"Liam, part of me wants to give us a shot again and try to fix what went wrong…"
I raise an eyebrow, "But?" I ask before she gets it out.
"But, I don't know if I could live in the spotlight. Be the object of millions of photographers, in magazines and all that craziness. That's just not who I am."
She quickly lets go of my hand and hurries over to the window. "How the heck can you sneak around like this anyway? Don't you have millions of fan girls trailing you all day?"
I smirk as I stalk over to her and put my arms on each side to pin her to the spot. "You’re changing the subject, Katy," I lean down and whisper in her ear.
She shivers against me and I smile when she answers. "N-No, I'm not."
I laugh as I kiss just below her ear and go back and sit on the edge of her bed, "M-hm. So, what do I have to do? Whisk you away on a romantic weekend? Get on your best friend's good side? By the way she acted; I don't think that will take much doing."
Katy turns towards me and crosses her arms as she leans back against the window. “No, you have to get on MY good side again, Liam. This isn’t like a movie where you just jump back in where we left off and everything’s “Happily Ever After”. You’re going to have to really make an effort at this. I’m not going to let Hollywood get the best of this again, if we can even make it work.”
Grinning like the movie star I am, I pop off the bed and go over and pull her into my arms and nuzzle her neck while I whisper in her ear, "Challenge accepted."
She gently pushes me back and mutters, "We'll see," before looking over at her roommate's side of the room. "You might want to head out before Krista comes back in here and attacks you."
I laugh at that and nod. "Ok, I'll go. Will you come see me on set?" I ask hopefully as I walk towards the door.
Katy takes a deep breath and opens the door for me. "I'll think about it."
I kiss her cheek one last time before I slip my glasses and hood back on and hurry back to my car waiting in the parking lot.
As soon as I get settled in, I grab my phone from where I left it on the console and see many missed calls and texts from Scott. Rolling my eyes I scroll down and call his number.
"What did you need?" I ask as soon as he picks up.
"Where are you? The entertainment is here." He laughs at something and I shake my head.
"I told you I really don't want to be there, Scott. I have Katy to think about now, now more then ever."
"And I told you, I need you
