I breathed in and out, straightened my dress as I made my way towards Jakob.

“Were the kiss-kissies good? “

I simply looked away.

“Damn it Catherine, that man could have an STD or something! “

I kept quiet.

“Are you listening to me? You could have HIV running through your veins right now”

“When have I ever mattered to you? Never. So stop this… Whatever this is”

“I’m just saying “

“Well stop saying anything. You might be glad to know the way production is going, we finish this in three weeks, then you can go”

“Well, I’d like to see more of you, we can work together. Or I can get a permanent place in the companies. I like the vibe. I can work with Sam and Levy. We’d get on well. “

“Yeah, you would”

“You okay? “

“No”

“No? What’s wrong?

Then I burst out laughing. I was in Jacob’s arms for the second time this week.

“I found out some time ago”

I sniffed. “Bloody hell, attracted to you”

He smiled from the corner of his lips.

“I’m serious Jakob. I was kissing that man and all I saw was you. “

He took a steady seat.

“I think I’m in love with you. “,I said. I pursed my lips and silently watched him. He drank more of his drink. My heart suddenly felt claustrophobic.

“Well, you didn’t have to cry like that.”

“Anyone would cry, “I said as I wiped my eyes.

“I’m sorry Catherine. Im sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. I like you a lot ,I do. But.. I’m not capable of love. I’m sorry”

I watched him walk away tears silently falling down my cheeks.
