Old Sparks

Kindness

"Bloody hell, who was it?" She gasped eyes still wide from the shock of this news.

"Not sure, seemed rather a younger man about her age....again it's not like I was being particularly faithful towards her anyway..." he smirked looking at Helena as she awkwardly looked down at the table.

"I hope no one caught on to us" she whispered truthfully. As much as she drunk that night Helena knew it was bad of her to have given into her needs without thinking about the consequences.

"Don't think you need to worry there, we were quite discreet" he assured her.

Just then Johnny's phone began to ring in his pocket. He apologised towards her and swiped the lock to green and answered it.

"Larry" Johnny smiled into the receiver after not speaking to his good friend and agent for so many weeks now. If Larry knew just what had happened between him and Helena he knew he would get a telling off from him. But then he also knew Larry would secretly be impressed too.

Helena watched Johnny as he spoke to Larry but couldn't help but notice some paps outside the cafe taking their picture. Helena always found she couldn't go anywhere without her picture being taken. She guessed that was the same for Johnny as well. She loved her lifestyle as an actress but all the attention all the time was tiring, she wanted to be left alone especially now.

"Alright, thanks for calling, bye" with that he hung up the phone and finished the remains of his coffee.

"Everything alright?" She asked picking up her coffee mug and lifting it to her lips.

"I have a meeting with a director back home, but I won't be going back till after the premier here for Burton and Taylor" he explained flagging down a waitress for the bill. Helena had to admit that his words made her feel suddenly sad. He lived half way around the world and as soon the premier would be over he would be flying back to America.

As he paid for the bill she thanked him and the pair of them left together. Immediately they were greeted by a swarm of photographers which had surprised Helena as there seemed to be a lot more of them then she had seen out the window.

Placing on her dark shades Helena held onto Johnny's arm keeping close to him as he lead them through the annoying paparazzi.

"You look good together are you dating?"

"Helena!! Is it true you left your fiancée last night?" Blimey news travels fast...

"Johnny there been reports that you have been drinking again"

The rude paps had his teeth gritting in anger as he walked with Helena on his arm. Trying to ignore them was harder then ever especially when they were being so thoughtless with their questions.

"Helena are you cheating on your fiancée?"

"You both make a great couple"

Stopping dead in his tracks Johnny lifted his head and glared at the photographers. "Have some fucking respect!" He snapped losing his temper and patients with them now.

Gulping nervously Helena squeezed Johnny arm and leaned up to his ear whispering "ignore them" as calmly as she could.

Continuing to walk on Johnny unlocked his Mercedes with his keys and opened the door for Helena. As she got in he closed the door and told the paps to give them space before walking around the other side of his car and getting in.

Helena could see the effected the paparazzi had on him. His face was stone cold and irritated and the way he removed his shades and threw them on the back seats of his car she knew he was pissed off.

"It's okay" she whispered to which he placed both hands on the steering wheel and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, they make me so mad Hel, they have no right pushing their noses in our business just because we're famous I hate this life sometimes"

Nodding sadly Helena reached over and placed her hand on his knee "me too"

Looking at her Johnny smiled softly her way and turned on his car. "Johnny if you don't mind I probably should go home and pack up David's things, no doubt he'll be asking for them soon" she said changing the subject as they left the place where they had shared Lunch.

"Do you need any help? I mean I don't want you to be alone right now" his words had her smiling sweetly. He warmed her heart in ways no man ever had and for that she couldn't help but smile inwardly at his kindness.

"I'll be alright, but thank you"
