Scenarios with Robert.

Best Kept Secret, part 2...

You enter your room, grab some clothes together, and head to the shower so you can meet up with Birdie to go shopping. You think over what just happened with Robert, and can't believe you're having an affair with him. You feel a little guilty, but you're also loving sneaking around with him and y'all fucking each other so well. You look in the mirror and see that he left quite the hickey on your neck, and thankful that you bought makeup with you to cover it up. "Shit, Downey, you didn't have to leave such a big mark on me." You say to yourself as you step in the shower, and get ready for the afternoon. When you're done, you grab your purse, room key and phone, and notice you have a text from someone. When you open it, you're shocked to see that someone took a picture of you walking from Robert's room. There was a text that said "I know what you did, and if you don't want this leaked out, meet me in the hotel lobby in 10 minutes... Or else." You check to see what time they sent it, and noticed it was sent 5 minutes earlier. You sit down to panic for a minute, trying to figure out what to do. "Fuck, who knows!? It has to be someone in the group, cause no one else here has my number." You wonder if you should tell Robert, and decide to go ahead and let him know, and when you open the door, he's at your door, looking panicked. "You got the same text too, didn't you!?" He said, his voice was shaking as you step back to let him in. "Yes, I just now got it, and was coming to tell you about it. We should at least go down to see who it is. Like, I'll go first, since you're technically supposed to be resting." You say, as you're both standing by the door. He nods, agreeing with you without saying anything, still looking freaked out. "Love, look at me, it's going to be fine! Maybe all they want is money... it's always what they want, right!? Come here, sweetie." You say to him as you pull him in for a hug, and feel him relax at your touch. You feel his heartbeat get slow, and his breathing is under control, and he breaks away from the hug, looking a lot better. "Alright, you better get down there to see who sent us that text. Let me know who it is. I'm not going, cause it's just going to confirm it, honey." He says as he looks at your shocked face.

He opens the door, makes sure the coast is clear, and takes your hand to bring you out the room into the hallway, and the door shuts behind you. "Rob, are you sure you don't want to go!? I mean, it seems they already know what we do." You say, while you're both walking away from your room. He shakes his head, "No just go down to see what they know, and text me, ok sweetie?" He gives you a peck on the cheek and goes back into his room, leaving you no choice but to head down alone. You somehow get to the elevator and make it to the lobby just in time, and see no one there. You look at the front desk, and see no one there but the hotel staff, and you turn back to the lobby area, and start walking around to see if you can find anyone else there. There was a chair bit too far ahead with its back to you, and someone was sitting there, with a hood on, so you couldn't tell who it was. Your heart is racing as you walk towards them, scared as hell but wanting to know what's going on. You're right behind them, and you say "Ummm, excuse me?" They turn around, and it's Birdie. You stare at her in disbelief, not believing that she was the one who sent that text. She looks at you with a concerned look, and she takes her good off, saying "Hey, are you alright? You don't look so good. Here, take a seat." And she gestured to a chair right next to her.

You sit, not able to say anything. You just stare at her, as she says "We don't have to go shopping, we can go to the spa or something, you look pale and tense." And you finally come to your senses and shake your head "No, dear, I was just reading a book that felt too real, ya know? It was a shocker. You haven't seen anyone else in the lobby, have you?" You say, and keep looking around, just to make sure no one else is there. "Umm no, not that I know of... Are you sure you're ok?" She says, still looking at you in a concerned way. "I'm fine, it's nothing to worry about." You say as you compose yourself, and pull out your phone to text Robert about what happened. Birdie stops you, saying "Look, I'm the person who took that picture of you leaving Robert's room. How dare you sleep with him!?" She looks really upset, and your heart starts racing, not believing what she said to you. "Birdie please, you have to delete that, and promise not to say anything! It's just a fling, and nothing else, I promise." You say, and she's still looking upset, and a bit skeptical. Then she just starts laughing, and you're looking at her all puzzled, like what the hell is wrong with her!? "Why didn't you tell me about this!? We're best friends, you know I would never say anything to anyone, come on now. When did this start, how did it first happen, I want to know everything!" She says, seemingly not upset at all. You let out a sight of relief, saying "It started a couple of months ago, at the wrap party of his latest movie. As you know, I was an extra in the movie, and I somehow caught his eye, and while filming, in between takes, we would talk and stuff, and the sexual tension was palpable, and it all came out at the wrap party." You say to her, smiling, and feeling relieved now that you told her everything. She's just staring at you, jaw open, and you start laughing. "Ok, you can close your mouth now. Please promise you won't say anything though! I would hate for anyone to find out, let alone Susan." She gathers herself, and sticks out her pinky finger, saying "I Pinky promise that this stays between us." And you grab her pinky with yours, and shake on it. You both stand up and give each other a hug, with you saying "thanks for keeping this secret. You're the best. Come on, and let's go shopping. I want to pick out something sexy; he wants to see me tonight." You look at each other and just smile, and head out the door, to a beautiful, sunny afternoon.

"Can I at least tell him about what happened?" You ask, as y'all are walking around a boutique store. Birdie looks up and shrugs, "Yeah, go for it, I don't care." You text him to make sure he's alone, and tell him to call when he can, and a few minutes later, he calls you. "Hey love, you never texted or called about what happened. What's going on?" He asked once you pickup your phone. "Well hi to you too, babe, sheesh. It was Birdie that took the picture, but she's sworn to secrecy now, so you don't have to worry about it." You just smile into the phone, thinking of him finally being able to relax. He breaths a sigh of relief, saying "Oh thank goodness, I was so worried about that. I know she's your best friend, so I trust that she won't say anything. Are y'all out shopping? Picking something out to wear for the next time we're together?" You can tell he's imagining you both in bed again, and you feel yourself clench up, and clear your throat. "Hey, earth to Downey! But I may get something for the occasion... you'll have to wait and see, won't you?" He just groans, and he's about to answer, when you hear someone in the background, saying "Hey honey, I came to check to see how you were doing. Who are you talking to?" It's Susan, and Robert starts stammering, away from the phone, "Uh, it's just a casting director, wanting me to look at a potential script of a movie he's thinking to film, and wanted to know if I can get was interested." He gets back on the phone, saying "Hey, I'm on vacation right now, so I'm not really looking for work at the moment. Please contact my office for further assistance, and I'll get back to you soon. Bye." And hangs up. You just stare at the phone, hoping he isn't in trouble. Birdie looks at you, a little puzzled, and raised her eyebrow. "Well? What happened?" You look at her and tell her what went down. She gasps, but you just shrug your shoulders, saying, "It was a nice save, I have to admit, I'm sure she won't know it was me he was talking to." Birdie nods her approval, and goes back to looking at what's on the racks. You look and find a sexy black negligee, perfect for Robert, you think, and grab it. Birdie has a couple of things too, and you say, "Let's check out, and enjoy the rest of the afternoon before we meet everyone else for dinner, ok?" And y'all walk off arm in arm to enjoy the rest of the day...
