Shit, seriously? I don't know, I thought they just thought I was an easy target with a publicly broken engagement. I thought your network execs picked me out of a beard line-up. Deep and meaningful talks, everything else stops existing for awhile, hand-holding, kisses, you don't want it to end, you're nervous about what should come next. Are you just telling me that to appease me?
No, they don't get to choose the beard. That's up to my team and they knew what I'd tolerate and what I wouldn't. And if I don't play along, apparently I can be a real pain in the ass. They picked you because they knew you would be professional and discreet about it. Well, yeah, we're on our first date then. No, we're doing better. Granted, things were shit before they were better.
Wow, dude, it almost sounds like you really wanted me. Oh, hey, I can vouch for the pain in the ass concept. I experienced it first-hand. You're a real sassy bitch asshole when you're drunk too but we know there were special circumstances there. You think I'm being professional? N'awww, that is so sweet. You guys done it yet?
I'd have preferred you as just a friend. I'm still anti-beard but I'm grateful you're doing the job for me. Yeah, yeah. I know. I can't even blame that on the cancer. Merlin said I was an asshole drunk too. Yes, I really do. I know you won't fuck me over. Still virgin territory.
I'm a friend too, love. Don't ever forget that. I might be contracted to act like your lover but that's just a job to me. You're very easy to care about, you know. I know Merlin will concur with that. You just have to get used to being cared for. All our friends, our family, they're incredible people. They'll have your back. Even if you need to get drunk and turn into an asshole for awhile. Do you want to sleep with him?
That means so much to me, babe. Seriously. I know none of this is the ideal situation and it might get tricky if you start dating your hook-up guy. Does he know about the bearding? Yeah, I think I'm off the booze for the foreseeable future. Both times, it made me projectile vomit, so yeah. Oh, hell, yes. I've had a few teasers and it's driving me wild but we're on his time, not mine. I'll roll with whenever he's ready.
Or maybe it is ideal so you and Merlin have the privacy you need. He knows about it but I haven't told him who you are. I don't want SWAT to swoop in if I break the NDA part of my contract. Yeah, you're too pretty to impersonate Linda Blair too often. You're so head-over for him, aren't you? Any other guy, you would just be wanting to fuck and run.
That's exactly what he said. He said even if he loves acting and performing arts, he's not a fan of the spotlight. Look, if you think he'd be cool keeping my dirty little secret, I don't care if you tell him. It's not my intention to make your life more awkward. Besides, he'll know when we go public anyway. Nothing pretty about cancer, I'm learning. Yeah, I feel shit with him I've never felt before. It's surreal.
Are you a fan of the spotlight? He'll be cool. He's been in the business a long time and gets it. Still nervous about telling your honourary family how sick you are? I think that means it's the real deal, love.
