It was great having a day/night off from filming especially being away from everyone there. It was what I needed; a fun night out with different people. It helped get my mind away from Sebastian for once.
Lauren, Alanna, and Christian from The Walking Dead invited me out. We went to dinner and ended up in a bar for some drinks until it was time for me to leave.
"Thank you for the invite, Lauren" I pulled her I'm for a hug. She walked me out of the bar " needed this night out"
She pulled away with a smile "Of course, anytime. We really do miss you on set"
I missed being there too. It was like another family of mine from being on it for some many seasons "I miss it too"
Lauren eyed me, chucking at the memories she's thinking of "You don't miss Norman's pranks on you"
I laughed at that "That I don't miss, no" He loved to prank me especially during our scenes together so that I would mess up.
"Please visit one last time before the movie ends" My friend would love that and knew others on that set would too.
"I sure will" The filming for Avengers would be over before the filming for the show.
"Love ya, Keeley"
"Love ya too, Lauren"
When she was back inside I was now ready to walk home where I knew Tom was.
"Well if it isn't Keeley Jay Ackles"
My full name made me stop right in my tracks as if my feet became glued to the concrete underneath memory. I turned around slowly knowning that voice.
My eyes focused on the person a few feet away from me "Vince Johnathan Corteze" the ex of mine before Sebastian.
"Filming another Marvel movie" He questioned my way.
'Oh fucking Lord' I mumbled to myself, having to deal we with him again. Why do I keep running into him; why is this a small world? "Maybe I am maybe I'm not"
He knew I had to be "Why else whould you be in Georgia?"
I shrugged
If Vince is just going to stand there questioning me I am going to question him "What are you doing at this bar? What you work here now?" He worked in a bar here in Georgia, but it this one that I know of.
"No, I was having drinks with friends now I'm on my way home"
"Drinking and driving" wouldn't be his first time doing so.
"One and a half beers is nothing" Vince excuses himself "I'm not even tipsy"
"Okay bye" I honestly had enough of him for the night, going to walk away
"Kiki-Bear"
I felt my eyes grow wide, facing him. That's what Vince used to call me before our relationship went to shit. I haven't heard that name in years. "Why'd you say that?"
Vince shrugged having that name slip his lips "That is what I used to call you"
I was very aware of that "Yes, I know that why'd you say it?" why after all this time he comes out with it. I should just be Keeley.
"I don't know actually just came out I guess." he apperently had more to say to me. I will never understand why he still wanted to bother with me "I do want to ask you though-"
I cut him right off knowing where this would leave, with annoyance in my voice I shot at him "To be friends. We went over this like what, three years ago?"
I was apparently wrong this time "That is not what I am asking"
"So, then what?" I wondered, not even sure why I did.
"Do you want a ride home?" He held up his keys
Glancing between the keys and him I shook my head "I can walk" I have legs that are usable.
Vince was going to continue to insist that I come with him "Can't have a lady walking home by herself this late at night"
Since when does he care? "I'm sure I'll be fine" I pulled out a pocket knife that was in the ass pocket of my jeans.
He stood there staring at it in slight shock "Since when do you have one of those?"
"Since an ex gave me one" meaning Seb, he has a lot of different knifes, almost like a collection and gave me one, which I still keep with me.
"An ex, huh?" a curl of a grin started to appear on his chapped lips. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. He had to know I meant Seb. Maybe he saw that we broke up from the internet.
"Yeah" I sighed, shaking my head.
"One ride home and I wont bother you" Vince insisted "You will get home quicker you look exhausted" there was a pause "I'm being a nice guy here, Kiki one ride home"
"Okay fine" I knew he wouldn't stop or he would follow me. I don't know why I was going to give in but I did "You're not coming in take me home and leave, deal?" just so we were clear.
"Yes, Mam" He nodded, getting it "Deal"
Leading me towards a big white van as he opened the door for me "What's the van for?" the last time I checked he had a BMW.
"It's my work van." He explained, waving me in "I got off late and came straight here with it"
That made sense.
Once I got settled, Vince closed the door as I watched him walk around to get in on the driver side.
"So how are things going?" Again Vince started with the questions
I wasn't going to spill my life story to him. He didn't need to know what I was going through with the whole Sebastian situation "Fine"
Vince had more questions for me "Still friends with Chris?"
"Yup," I sighed knowing I put myself through this torture getting in this van with him talking. Even when dating he always brought up Chris "always will be"
"And Single?"
"Yes, I am" I sighed "guys seem to love to hurt me. My life fucking story. I am single and staying that way"
I heard him chuckle "Same old, Kiki-bear"
"Yeah guess, so whats with the questions?"
"Just chatting"
"Ok fine" If Vince is going to question me I will question him "How is your sister?"
"Doing well for herself." Vince spoke with happiness for his sibling "She just got married recently to a very cool dude"
"Oh that's nice" I didnt know that, his sister was very nice to me, but we lost touch after Vince broke up with me.
"It is" he agreed
"And you?" Is he dating anyone?
"What about me?"
"Are you single?" I honestly wouldnt be suprised if he was. I dated the ass whole; he's not boyfriend material.
"I am not"
"Really," That caught my interest "What is her name?"
"Jolene" I noticed that he didnt even smile or anything at the mention of her.
That song 'Jolene' popped into my head "How long?"
Vince had to think for a moment "A month and 2 days to be exact"
"Wow, early stages"
"She reminds me so much of you, Kiki." He was glancing at me "She's the long blonde hair, sparkling brown eyes, so amazing, so beautiful, has your build, can sing too - just perfect"
A weird feeling about this sent shocks through my body. I couldnt want to get home "Okay, sounds lovely"
Looking out my side window to see where we are I noticed we weren't even near my home. Wait- I don't tell him where I lived " Vince. I didn't tell you were I lived its-"
Vince cut me off, stopping the van "That's okay I don't need to know"
His words confused the hell out of me, cocking my head towards him "Do you know where I live?" that would be creepy
"No" He plainly said as if this wasn't a problem.
"Why would you not need to know when you said you were driving me home?" I was hoping he had a good explanation for my question.
Vince completely ignored my question with an expression on his face that was making me so uncomfortable "Do you have any idea what you do to me everytime I see you in person?"
"Vince, what the hell is going on?" he didn't really have a plan go bring me home did he?
"You're so beautiful Kiki-Bear," Lust was growing in his eyes at he looked at me with hunger "I should've never cheated on you we'd be married by now"

"Not again" I was trying to hold my composure, but I was failing. This was a big mistake "We went over this you have a girlfriend" this asswhole must chest like he did on me.
"I do?" Vince looked at me in confusion as if he didnt remember mentioning that
"Jolene!" I tried to remind him
"Oh" he brushed that off quick
"She's not real is she? I'm done bye Vince" I leaned down to open the door giving it a few tugs but it was locked "Vince, let me out!"
He didnt move a muscle "I can't let you do that, Kiki"
My head shot up towards him "Why not?"
"Because I want you and it's not like you're gunna cheat." Vince was talking as if this wasn't wrong "That Winter Soldier dude is out of the picture right?"
"He may be out of the picture, but I do not want you." I shot back digested with him, disgusted with myself, tugging the handle more "Let me out, please"
Vince scooted closer to me causing me to move back more being right on top of the door. "I can't do that not until I get what I want, last time that Winter Soldier stopped me, this time he's not here to do that"
