A continuation of "In Lieu Of Flowers…." Holt told Lucy the only way he would continue being in a relationship with her is if she was okay with him going public with their relationship, she accepted and they did as they always did every night. Now that its finally had time to sink into her brain Lucy is starting to think about how the public is going to take their relationship. Will she still get the respect at 'DirtNow' that she's always demanded? Will Holt get blamed for the death of Julia Mallory because him and Lucy were more then just reporter and actor? Read on to find out how their relationship plays out. Do they stay together? Will the public tear them apart?
Disclaimer: I don't own Dirt even though I wish I did because its such a genius show and should definitely come back!
Lucy Spiller was laying in the tight grip of boyfriends arms Holt McLaren this point of their love- making was one of her favorites. She loved the feeling they got when they were in the midst of doing each other and she loved it when he made her cum but she was also an emotional person. Besides Don and Holt no one has ever seen her as anything else other then the stone cold bitch face Editor and Chief of "DirtNow". Believe it or not she could be one of the most emotional people you could ever meet in your life she always had her guard up when she was around everyone, In her line of work you had to have your guard up and trust no one to stay out of pages of any gossip magazines and now she found herself thinking about how once their relationship came out in her own magazine she'd be on the cover. Thats right. She would be on the cover of her own magazine probably with one of those salacious pictures her stalker/Brother took of them while they were sneaking around and hooking up behind Julia's, Holt's now dead- ex girlfriend who tried to kill Lucy, back.
At this point she let out an audible sigh as all these thoughts flooded her brain. "Are you okay?" She heard from the lover next to her. "Yeah, Just thinking about everything that might happen after we put this in the public, I mean we might as well release it in Dirt because you know no one will be expecting the story and every one is going to want the story as soon as we release it. I mean I can see covers now, "Queen Bitch of Magazines Screwing Hottest Movie Star"." She said laughing as she propped herself up to look at him. She knew what was next to come out of his mouth so she figured she might as well go ahead and respond. "You're more then a story to me, Holt. I'm just saying to everyone else we're just another story so in our issue we might as well get everything that might be questioned answered and we can still save our careers because like I said before if one reporter starts digging I might have a career left but you wouldn't and now that this is in our control we can totally make it seem like we were dating and fell in love just before the Hollywood Gold Awards and no one will ever need to know that we were doing it while you were still dating Julia." She said as if she was at work and ordering demands at all her workers that everyone liked to call her minions.
Holt just laughed at the sight in front of him. He loved how she took her work so serious and he was happy with himself, now that he made her life more then just getting out the next best issue of her magazine. "Babe take it easy we can figure out all the details tomorrow. I know I said I needed to be back to set tomorrow but maybe I can take off and we can work this out until you're happy with it. How does that sound?" Lucy couldn't help but smile at how considerate he was of how she felt. "That sounds perfect. I'll just give Willa some shit work to do for the back of the book and we can spend all day figuring this situation out and maybe making out on the couch." She joked with him leaning down to kiss his lips. "I know I don't do this often but I just want to thank you for coming by tonight. I know I said I needed to get over this myself but I'm glad that your able to know when I really need you and when I don't."
"C'mon, I know when the woman I love really needs me and when she doesn't…" Lucy's eyes widened at the sound of the word love. "Oh shit, Lucy I'm sorry I- it slipped I swear." He was silenced by the feeling of Lucy's finger coming in contact with his lips. "Shut up. It's fine that you feel that…I do too but I'm just not ready for that yet Holt…Just not yet, Please." Holt silently agreed with a nod of his head and just gathered her in his arms. "It's late, lets just go to bed, okay?" He said almost in a whisper and she gave his lips a small kiss and settled down in his arms. Ever since she's been stabbed she always fell asleep much easier but now that she had someone that she actually felt something toward it made her sleep just that much better. She knew she loved him the same way he loved her but she just wasn't ready to admit it just yet.
Sorry it's so short the next chapter will be much longer. Review!
