You Have Someone In?

The clueless face of Galen came into view and he look flustered because his face was all red as a tomato.

"You..here...Galen?" Sandra asked in a confused voice and Galen looked even more flustered.

"Ohh I didn't know this is your place," Galen says and he sounds way more stupid than he thought.

Sandra kept looking at him with questions in her eyes and he decides to finally stop his rambling.

Sandra and Galen can say to be close because they always interact on set but they haven't visited each other at home so, Sandra's confusion could be explained.

"I live here now," he say finally and Sandra goggled at him in shock.

"You live here now?" Sandra asked again trying not to act precipitously.

"Yeah it might sound bogus but this is part of the benefits cherry entertainment threw in," he says referring to his apartment.

"Wow this is huge," Sandra says impressed.

Sandy's apartment is one of the most expensive buildings in the country because it was located in one of the most expensive parts of the town Sandra was also able to live in one of the apartments because it was gifted to her by Dylan.

"This is great," Sandra says flunking her arms around him because she was too thrilled Galen also wrapped his arm around her but when she noticed their ambiguous stance, especially in the front of her room she quickly disengages from him.

"This is great news and it calls for celebration we can...." Sandra says and she got interrupted by Galen's voice.

"And this is why I brought this, "He says raising a wine bottle she didn't notice.

"Can I enter ??" he asked pointing toward her room and Sandra had mixed feelings about it.

Sandra looked at the wine bottle in Galen's hands and she paused. Why was he with a wine bottle? Does he want to drink here?

What if he comes around and meets Galen? Is it even acceptable to let a man in my house? Different thoughts run through her mind and her thoughts trailed off when she heard Galen's voice.

"Can I ?" Galen's impatient voice rang out and Sandra let out an embarrassed chuckle showing the way to the apartment to Galen.

What more could go wrong, Sandra thought while she trailed behind him.

Galen entered the cozy furnished apartment that holds warmth. The room design was simple with little art of herself and some renowned artist and her furniture were also so simple even though they are looking luxurious Galen wondered why she was trying to appear simple when she had the money to lavish on her house interior.

Sandra saw their questioning gaze of Galen and she quickly speak up before Galen could raise any questions.

"Let me go get the glasses," she says pointing at them the wine.

After Sandra vacated the living room to the kitchen to get the wine glasses Galen uses that time to check around the living room and he noticed something odd.

Even though her sitting room looks simple but almost all her interior decor and antiques are expensive.

"So Galen let's drink"Sandra screeched from behind and Galen turn to look at her.

"Cheers to your new crib," Sandra says and she and Galen clanked their glasses together and they both have a sip of the wine.

"So, let me tell the story behind this wine," Galen says taking a seat but Sandra beat him to it.

"What's so great about the ain't one of the wine masters fermented for 60 years and when he suffered from dementia he forgot about it but one of his sons....," Sandra was saying but she trailed off when she saw Galen's shocked expression.

"What's wrong," she asked when she saw the lost look on his face.

"You know about the wine I just got to know of it today when Sir Kelvin gave it to me," Galen says shocked, and Sandra bit her lips in regret.

The wine was something she had been used to because she had always had it with Dylan but she forgot to seal up her mouth.

"Let's go drink," Sandra says taking a seat beside Galen, and for some reason, she doesn't usually feel uncomfortable with him beside her.

They both started talking about their early lives in the industry and how they had scaled off the odds.

"Did you remember that time a producer yelled at you on set and the next day he was so sick to come on set," Galen says laughing so hard because he was a little bit tipsy that's why he didn't notice that Sandra's face paled hearing that.

The issue that Galen just mentioned was about when she just debuted and got into trouble with a producer and when Dylan got a whiff of it he makes that the producer stay off showbiz.

"Yeah," Sandra says looking at the painting ahead and she sighed loudly.

"Did you know that I envy you, you are successful and your family is also not troublemakers and they do not have a lot of debts piled up," Galen says slurping on his drink.

"You are drunk, Galen," Sandra says trying to shut the woozy Galen up but he wasn't having it.

"I work my ass off to provide for the family but did you know what I got in return animosity, that hypocrite," he says dropping his head.

People are not aware of the problems she had faced or she was facing with her family because, in front of the cameras, she was a star that her life was perfect but behind those was a broken girl patched with different sealants.

Sandra and Galen are similar in qualities which is their soft spot for their families and loved ones but sometimes if you are taken for granted you started losing out.

Sandra is a woman of few words and she doesn't know how to throw comforting words at the man so she just seats still beside him looking at the wasted Galen.

Time passed and the two people just stared into space not saying a word to each other but Sandra decided to break the silence.

"You know a long time ago my dream was not to be an actress," Sandra expressed looking into space.

Galen looked at the girl that seems she was pushing thousands of emotions down her soul and she was wearing another body as a disguise.

"My dream was to be a lawyer because my brothers get into fights a lot," she joked and stifled a laugh. "And you know lawyers are cool," she took in some shaky breath trying to steady her breath because the emotions were overwhelming her and she blinked back tears remembering that horrible moment that only she and her family knew about.

"But I changed profession anyways," Sandra says finishing up her story.

Galen stared at her not believing that was all about the heartwarming story he was expecting.

"I thought you are going to talk about how your boyfriend broke your heart back in high school," Galen joked and that earned him a hearty life from Sandra.

Galen looked at the laughing beauty beside him and he was tempted to touch her face but he withheld that urge.

"I'm drunk," Galen thought shaking his head vigorously.

But were engrossed in their conversation that they didn't hear that someone was punching in the passwords when Sandra noticed it she almost had her heart in her mouth.

"It isn't what I'm thinking right, he can't possibly be here now," Sandra thought in her head but when the door locked says incorrect password she knew she was done for.

Sandra panicked immediately like a wife cheating on her husband and her husband was the one at the door.

She think quickly of a possible way to solve the crisis and her face lit up when she settled with one.

"I can trust you right Galen?"Sandra asked dragging the fuddled Galen with her to her room and before he could wrap his head around anything she locked him in her closet.

"I'm sorry Galen but that's the only way you can be saved," Sandra says rushing out to the living room

When Sandra saw the wine glasses littered on the floor she quickly went to it but her phone blaring up jerked her up in fear.

She walked to her phone and when she saw the name on the screen she wished there could be a world she can migrate to.

She picked up her phone gently and the panic on her face says her terror.

"You change the password," that was the first word he was saying to her after that day.

Sandra got upset but she swallowed her injustice and before she could say anything the man's voice was heard again.

"Come open the door.....please, "the man added an urging sentence alongside his words and Sandra was dumbstruck walking to the door like a woman in a daze.

"Creak," the sound of the door opening and revealing the tired face of Dylan, and without much thought, Sandra raised a hand to his face.

His tired look stirred up something in Sandra's stomach and she felt compassion for the man in front of her.

"Why are you looking so tired," she says with a pained face and the man relaxed in her touch but that moment was cut short when Galen's voice rang from inside the house.

"Sandra why did you lock me here, are we playing hide and seek? "Galen's tipsy muffled voice rang and Dylan's expression turned gloomy hearing a voice inside Sandra's apartment.

"You have someone in?"Dylan asked coldly his eyebrows creased dangerously and Sandra sucked in some shaky breaths waiting for his outburst.....
