Chapter 11
 
      Two days later I had a day off and that whole day was spent rearranging Tony’s place. Most of my stuff was situated, but we were too tired to do it all in one day. Tony and I plopped down on the couch.
 
“So, how’s work?” Tony asked as he patted my thigh.
 
“Great, as usual. But there are a few moments I could live without,” I said and held Tony’s hand.
 
“Oh? And what moments are those?”
 
“Eh, just little things. The crazy people on the set, you know.”
 
“That’s good to hear, luv. I’ll come over and visit the set one day and check up on you.”
 
       I didn’t want to make a big deal out of Christina so I never talked about her with Tony. He had his own things to worry about with people offering him spots in tv shows. Plus we’ve got the living arrangements to work on and whatever else comes along.
 
       More days of filming continued, and Christina had less to say to me. This time I noticed that she was conversing more with Ken. I guess she finally got some sense knocked into her to leave me alone. This one day when all our work was done, I was getting out of my dressing room and saw Christina with Ken in the distance. I stood at my doorway and watched as Christina stood behind Ken and started rubbing his shoulders. He looked comfortable with it at first, but then he turned around to face her and started telling her something. She smiled at him, grabbed his arm, and then they went their separate ways. I have no idea what that was all about!
 
       The next morning, Christina and I were in my dressing room getting all my clothes ready. The door opened and Ken walked in.
 
“Hello, ladies,” he said with a friendly smile. “Almost ready?”
 
“Almost, Kenny! Is there anything else you need help with?” Christina asked. I looked over at her and she was smiling at him innocently. I looked at Ken and he looked down at the floor.
 
“Oh, um, well no. Not at this moment, thank you,” he replied without ever taking his eyes away from the floor. “I’ll see you ladies outside.”
 
       He turned around and left the room.
 
“Oh he’s so adorable, isn’t he?” Christina said with a dreamy look on her face.
 
“Um, yeah. Okay, I feel ready. I’m going now,” I said and quickly left the room. So now it was obvious that Christina has some feelings for Ken. It just kept growing more and more every day. Even some of the crewmembers began teasing them both about it.

    I was having my makeup done one day, and Christina was also in the room, getting my clothes ready.

"You know what I’ve been wondering?" she asked to nobody in particular.

"What’s that?" replied Sarah as she was doing my makeup.

"What type of woman Kenneth goes for. Maybe a woman with long, brown hair, green eyes, American…"

"In other words—you," I said and she looked at me through the mirror.

"Why not? It could happen, you know. Unless you think YOU’RE the woman for him."

    What was with this woman? Why does she think I’ve got something for Kenneth?

"Christina, why do you always think that I have feelings for him? I already told you—"

"I know, I know. You’re engaged to Tony. But he’s not around, so do what you want!"

"I don’t WANT to do anything with Ken. And how did you know I was engaged to Tony? I never told you who I was engaged to."

"Oh, well, um, word gets around, you know. And why did you assume that I was talking about you wanting to do anything with Ken? It could be any guy on the set."

"Because you keep assuming that I’m in love with him!"

"She’s got you there, Christina," Sarah commented. I smiled up at her and Christina just shook her head, sighed and continued with her work.

    I couldn’t take it anymore. I have to tell somebody about this. I decided to tell Tony first and ask him what I should do. We were lying on our bed; me on my stomach and Tony on his side, with his arm up to support his head.

"Tony, remember when you asked me about how work was going and I said it was going great?"

"Mm-hmm?"

"Well, I wasn’t completely honest about it."

"Jennifer, Jennifer. What’s going on?"

"The woman who is in charge of my clothes, Christina, keeps assuming that I’m in love with Kenneth, when I’m not."

"Why do you think she feels that way? Is it because you guys are always together in the movie?"

"I guess so. I’ve been trying to stay away from Ken as much as possible so she won’t say anything!"

"Oh well that’s not good. Just do what you have to and ignore this woman. The movie’s almost done now isn’t it?"

"Yeah, we’re almost done. And it’s been getting hard to ignore her. The other day we started arguing and she knew I was engaged to you, but I never told her that. I said I was engaged but not with whom."

"Maybe Ken told her."

"I don’t know, but she’s really irritating."

"What does she look like?"

"Why does that matter?"

"Okay well in a way I haven’t been honest with you either. You remember last Christmas, of course, with Nannette. While we were in the hospital, I asked the nurse there to keep me in touch with Nannette’s condition. I told her that we were really close friends, so it was important for me to know."

"What are you saying?"

"I did it for our sake, you know. Like what if she came out of the coma and tried to come after us again?"

"Yeah, that was a good idea."

"A short while after we came back here from the States, I got a call from that nurse at the hospital and she said that Nannette had come out of her coma and that she had some minor surgeries while she was there."

"Minor surgeries? Like what?"

"I don’t know. That’s all she told me."

    I adjusted my pillow a little and rested my chin on it. Could it be possible that Christina actually IS Nannette? If that’s the case, she must really be screwed up in her head to go through all that trouble just to have Tony and I separated. Or maybe I’m looking into it too much. Christina could just be Christina, another annoying person I have to deal with.

"What are you thinking about?" Tony asked as he began playing with my hair.

"Just thinking about this whole situation. I have to tell Ken about it soon before it gets worse."

"Tell him tomorrow."

"That’s what I’m going to do."

"Good. Now let’s go to sleep!" Tony laughed. I turned off the lights and we went under the covers.
