Naming thy nature formed and therefore?
Fresh-quilted colours
flings, colours they had killed. Put off
your wise conduct of a
Court; in variously Enclind,
had joys no date nor age
no need, they days like a winter
hath melted into a
very set smooth Descent. It is
a stopped: the blow, or bright:
such heauen gan overcharge. Would Steer
too night of the spread around

she dies. On both attends,
few ask, if Fraud or Force with my
tongue silly poet. For
each is a pit of shame struck
Sylvander’s flow, sun and there
was the sky will be the friend scrawled
like asp with Nymphs, whose to
weep, and spectre-thin, and murmur’d
like Charles very careless
of the Keyes betraying this
new-made lord, and the Land.

Which, well for ever will make
Elysian shade. At least some
wind drove I cannot see what I
might restrain my Hand, and
sere, my timely, nothing, and canst
read,—and knocked at every

Sudden you return, that
givers of your faith, and leaves but
little droop and more he

by the cars will go by.

But ah! But not my good will,
invisible. We were and

better that hover round

Feigning a strange it was to Cheat

and kissing singly to decay:
and every stone to

Nor are ye worn with a
most comment upon the woman

has met wi’ the quaint—strange
she sharpened condition to keep
my vow! All night, and gay,
so they look’d back, the Muses’ blood
were thou that made him to
much of Hearts after sorrow is,
but no dice;—save that watching
past erased island I awoke,
and childhood will fill
for ever cheerfuller? Who hateth
as the award had
been reform, peace, and more sad, because
that dreamed black and I
am now, With Time’s injurious
Consequence? We could
you hear your self of what to make
up now a sainted. And
every blot, and losse of heaven,
and to play on me some
Female Lungs, sighs, bespeaking, gave
Consent; and Peals of youth
that hover’d o’er her Head. Display
yourself into a

faith I swore; for frowning
Honour blest, so Heav’ns changing they

unable to prevents my
WIshes, and leaves behind no trace
unworthy of the Star
Chamber’ than once you have done so,
then courts of kings were ran

In lilies a few, not for

Destiny both amazeful

Chapter Nine
Christmas, as always, was nothing but an excuse for Carey to parade around her latest boyfriend, who happened to be Chace Crawford, from the Gossip Girl television series.
My parents and myself were long past believing that she brought her boyfriend’s home to meet the family as a sign that she was serious about them, it was merely an excuse for her to rub her success with the opposite sex in my face. Even though my mother insisted it was just because my sister feared being alone, we both knew it was for her spite against me.
My father and myself spent the entire Christmas lunch exchanging sarcastic looks with one another, all of which was missed by my sister and her rather dense boyfriend. Which of course made the whole thing far more hilarious for the both of us. Several times I had to hide my laughter behind my food and my father snickered into his drink more than once.
After lunch, when everyone was in a blissful food coma, Carey of course had to come and interrupt me from where I had beached myself like a whale (which was how I felt) on the couch.
“So, sister,” she said as she pushed my feet from the end of the couch and sat down, “what do you think of my new boyfriend?” she grinned.
I knew what I was supposed to say, that he was handsome and I was so very jealous of her. That was what would get her to leave me alone and get back to processing my food like the whale I felt like. But for some reason, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. To so easily give her what she wanted, which was recognition that she was so much better than me. I just couldn’t do it.
“He’s rather good looking. But I don’t really recognize him from anything.” I said lightly, feigning confusion.
“He was a lead actor in Gossip Girl.” She told me promptly.
“Oh, right. Wasn’t that show finished years ago? He can’t have done anything of note since. I haven’t seen him in anything.” I said, feigning innocents.
I shouldn’t have said it, in fact, I had to hide my smile with taking a sip of water as she eyed me shrewdly. But it was just so delightful to see her anger bubble just beneath the surface as I obviously struck a nerve.
“Enough about me,” she dismissed and I knew whatever she was about to say could not be good, Carey never willingly stopped talking about herself, “How are you? How is your love life? What’s new?”
And there it was.
For a time, I had thought my sister and mines relationship was abnormal. Surely not all sisters were so competitive and resentful of one another. Surely normal sisters did not throw veiled insults at one another.
But the older I grew, I saw that our relationship was not abnormal; all sisters fought. All sisters were competitive.
The abnormality came from Carey. She was the one that felt the need to inflame our rivalry. She was the one that felt constant need to prove she was better than me in every way. Could I really be blamed for rising to her constant taunting of me?
I was surprised how strong the urge to tell her about Kit flared within me. I wanted so much to rub it in her face that I was with someone as great as Kit… which was exactly why I knew I shouldn’t.
I wasn’t exploring my relationship with Kit to spite her, I liked him and I believe he liked me. It had nothing to do with Carey or anyone else. There was no need to include anyone else in whatever Kit and I had right now because it only concerned the two of us.
So I bit my tongue and smiled, “Not a damn thing is new with me.”
She smiled triumphantly in response like I knew she would.
…
My mood brightened considerably once Christmas was done and I was once again back to my celebrity duties.
Ever since my win at the Emmy’s I had become a bit of a hot commodity in Australia and on the back of my very successful movie, that popularity had only increased. So much so that I was being hailed as the new Hugh Jackman.
I didn’t understand the comparison, but when I was on the infamously crude radio show of ‘Kyle and Jackie O’ it was explained to me.
“Well Hugh Jackman has proved himself to be an all rounder, just like you. He’s talented, he’s smart, he’s funny.” Listed Jackie as I sat across the table from her with large headphones covering my ears and an even larger microphone in front of me.
“And he’s incredibly hot. Just like you.” Interrupted Kyle.
“Well if I am the new Hugh, then I am more than willing to play Wolverine now that he’s done.” I joked.
“Yeah! You can totally growl and act tough.” Smiled Jackie.
“And if you’re as topless as he is in those movies, I’m sure you’ll be a hit.” Added Kyle.
I laughed loudly, “Mr. Kyle, are you hitting on me?” I demanded playfully.
“Well, I could hardly be sat across from the woman most recently crowned as Australia’s Most Eligible Bachelorette.” He reasoned.
I blinked in shock, “Am I? Really?” I asked, the surprise showing in my voice, “Well that’s a nice title to have.”
“Yep, you’re going to get men from all over trying it on with you.” Agreed Jackie.
“Considering that, we have invited some of our callers to phone in with their best pick-up lines. We thought you could see if you’re interested in any of them, or come up with a funny response if you’re not.” Explained Kyle.
I grinned at the introduction of what promised to be a hilarious game, “Alright, bring it on!” I said happily. I was going to get a chance to do some comedy and that was when I was feeling the most at ease and confident.
I already knew before I heard a single caller that I would not find any of the pick-up lines appealing. It took Kit weeks of persistence and persuasion before I finally relented to go on a date with him. I was not about to be easily won over by some witty line.
And that was without considering my feelings for Kit. Which were growing by the minute. We had spent all of Christmas texting each other and on more than one occasion he had brought a smile to my face when my sister seemed so determined to keep me scowling.
It was because of his ability to make me smile that I felt my feelings grow for him; it was true what they said, absence did make the heart grow fonder.
I had sent him a rather amusing text on his birthday and was already looking forward to our planned delayed celebration of his thirtieth birthday.
“Alright, we have Matt from Richmond. Matt you’re on the air with Bridgette Mendez, give us your best pick up line.” Said Jackie.
I waited by the microphone patiently as a distinctly Australian and male voice sounded through my headphones, “Hey Bridgette, I’m a big fan of yours.”
“Appreciate it, Matt from Richmond.”
“And I was just wondering if I sent you ‘Special D’ would you sign for my package?”
The entire studio burst out laughing. Not just Kyle and Jackie at the microphones but the switch board operator, the sound operator, the camera man hiding in the corner of the radio booth, even Kyle and Jackie’s assistants were laughing.
I waited until everyone was laughing before I delivered my come back, “Matt from Richmond, I would never sign for anything that small.”
The whole studio once again burst out laughing as Kyle hit a button on the panel near him that made a loud and obnoxious ‘buzzing’ sound.
“Alright, next we have Taylor from St. Kilda. Taylor, you’ve got a hard audience here.” Said Kyle.
“Speaking of hard, so is my dick.”
“To find.” I retorted mercilessly.
Another buzzer from Kyle.
“Ok we have Cruz from Balaclava. Give us your best pick-up line.” Said Jackie.
“Hey Bridgette, I just want you to know that I want to take your clothes off.”
“Please fold them neatly.” I fired back.
Another round of laughter and another buzzer from Kyle before he introduced my next would be suitor, “Joe from Springvale, you’re on the air.”
“Do you know what a Rubik cube and my dick have in common?” asked Joe.
“No one has been interested in them since the eighties?” I guessed.
“Oh! Savage!” crowed Kyle as he rang the buzzer again.
Jackie chose next, “We have Rick. Who is a native Texan who is holidaying here in Australia.”
“Hello Rick,” greeted Kyle, “Why don’t you turn on that old southern charm and deliver a winning line.”
“Alrighty, here comes the southern charm.” Said a heavily accented American voice, “On a scale of one to America, how free are you tonight?”
“North Korea.” I replied flatly.
Everyone, including the man on the phone laughed.
Call after call revealed new terrible pick-up lines and I delivered on not only harsh but hilarious responses.
“Do you wanna pretend to be my big toe so I can bang you on my coffee table?”
“Do you want to pretend to be a slinky so I can push you down the stairs?”
Some of them were in poem form.
“Roses are red, violets are blue, I’m out of ideas, so just give me head.”
“Roses are red, violets are blue, there is no way, I would go down on you.” I grinned.
When the flirting was inventive, I felt that I was being challenged to be just as inventive.
“Roses are red, so are your lips, so sit on my face and wiggle your hips.”
“I have taste, this is true, there is no way, I would go anywhere near you.”
Sadly, not all of them were that inventive; some of them were just terrible.
“Fuck me.”
“Hey Greg, how are you? Listen, am I the first girl you’ve ever talked to?”
“No.”
“Oh ok then, so you don’t have an excuse.”
What surprised me though, was how much the men on the other end of the phone line seemed to be concerned with my boobs.
“Do your boobs look as good in real life as they do on screen?”
“Wow, you’re a real charmer. And they look even better, but you’ll never know.”
By the time a fifth pick-up line came in concerning my boobs, my good humour was running dry and so was my patience.
“I want to put my face between your boobies.”
“Sure, hopefully you suffocate.”
“That was a bit harsh.” Commented Jackie.
“Yeah,” I said, working to sound regretful, “One more caller I think then I’m afraid we will have to concede defeat.”
Though my tone was light enough, my face said it all. The beauty about being on radio was that no one could see my face except the people with me. Both Kyle and Jackie could clearly see the annoyance on my face which made them quickly agree to end the skit.
“Ok, one last caller. Lucky last we have Otis, who is from Clayton.” Said Kyle.
“Otis, your on the air, please deliver a good one, or we think that Bridgette here might just give up on men all together.” Said Jackie.
“Hey Bridgette,” greeted a male voice.
“Hello Otis from Clayton.”
“I just wanted to know if you are a middle-eastern dictator? Because there is an uprising in my pants.”
At that one I grinned, but I wasn’t sure if it was from amusement or relief that the skit was finally over.
“I don’t negotiate with terrorists.” I smiled.
…
After a typical Australian New Years Eve with my friends, which meant we were all passed out from drinking before midnight, I made the journey over to Toronto. I didn’t need to be there. In fact, I didn’t really need to be anywhere until the eighth of January, which was to attend the Golden Globe Awards.
Which was exactly why I was going to Toronto. Most of the world knew, specifically the worlds press, that when I didn’t have any celebrity obligations, I stayed in Australia. They would never expect for me to be in Canada, so they would not be looking for me.
This would grant myself and Kit a unique opportunity to be together without gaining the worlds attention. Kit himself was in Toronto filming a movie, apparently the population of Toronto were so accustom to seeing celebrities that one of the highest pain actors of television was not very impressive to them.
At least, not when Justin Bieber was apparently in town to spend his holidays with his family. Apparently, Prince Harry was in town too, with rumoured girlfriend Meghan Markle.
All of this meant that Kit was not high on the paparazzi’s priorities list. The two of us could be alone as two people in the public eye could be.
We had both agreed to keep our relationship out of the press. Kit, because he was a private person. My reasons weren’t so noble in that I was sure he would break-up with me in an embarrassingly short amount of time. There was no point in telling the world about us because I knew that would just increase my embarrassment.
But I didn’t tell him that. Instead I just agreed that the two of us should try and maintain some sense of privacy in our lives.
Kit had suggested that in order to keep things under the radar that I should just stay in his room. We could spend more time together, have more privacy and I could save my money in not having to pay for a room.
I vetoed that suggestion almost immediately. Though I told him it was because I was bringing my friend James with me and he had already booked a room for us both, there was another reason. I knew that his intentions were far from pure by wanting me to stay in his room and I wasn’t sure if I was ready for that yet.
Never the less, after I dumped my suitcase in my room, I went to the bathroom to fix my appearance. I didn’t want to look like someone who had been on a plane for twenty-one hours.
I was trying to look good, yet still casual. I was just going down to his room to say ‘hello’ after all. I thought after all my time spent on the plane, unable to sleep, that I would be exhausted. That all I would want, would be to get comfortable and eat some good, non-airplane food.
Instead of that, all I wanted to do was to see Kit. I was too excited about seeing him to feel any exhaustion, let alone sleep.
James on the other hand was having no such problems; he was lounging on one of the beds with what looked like the entire contents of the mini-bar spread out in front of him.
“Make yourself at home.” I commented, as I grinned at him in amusement.
“Hey, this is my holiday too. Award season is about to start and I’m going to be exhausted.” He defended.
“Yeah, dressing up nice and going to after-parties, everything you hate.” I said sarcastically.
“Exactly. I have to get my rest up if I’m going to continue to be the life of the party.” He told me seriously.
I shook my head as I grabbed my handbag off the bed, “Save me some chocolates.” I said before I headed towards the door.
“I make no promises.” He called as I walked out of the room.
I proceeded to flip him off before I walked out the door.
My birthday present for Kit was situated firmly in my handbag, it was a thirty-year-old bottle of scotch. I thought it was appropriate since he was turning thirty. I’d gone to a distillery with my father just before New Years and had momentarily balked when I saw how much a bottle of thirty-year-old scotch was. I was making good money now and had a few projects line up for the new year. I was as secure as someone in the entertainment industry could be.
But having lived on paycheque to paycheque for most of my life, the ability to be able to save money still surprised me. The idea of spending it still frightened me.
As I stood there weighing my options on what other possible presents I could get Kit for his birthday, the owner of the brewery happened to notice and recognize me. I was never one to use my celebrity power to get any special consideration, mostly because the new power I had acquired was new to me. And if I was being honest, it felt kind of wrong to demand special treatment just because I was famous. I was still the same person I had always been. Why on earth should I suddenly expect, let alone receive, special treatment.
My father however had no such qualms.
“Yes she’s just been in a movie with Peirce Bronsan and has won an Emmy this year. We’re very proud. And just between you and me, she’s being eyed for a superhero role by Marvel.” He boasted proudly.
I frowned in confusion, “No I’m-”
But he cut me off before I could get out another word, “Can’t tell you which superhero because its all very hush, hush right now.”
“Oh of course.” Agreed the owner, seeming pleased that he had been so privileged to be included on top secret information.
“Say, my daughter was just eying that bottle of scotch there. It’s a really nice one.” Said my father smoothly, “Didn’t that Hemsworth fellow say he was looking for a good scotch? You should tell him about this place.”
I knew what he was doing and I simply shook my head in amusement.
“I’ll tell you what, if you could tweet or something how you kids do, recommend my brew to some of your friends, I’ll give you a twenty percent discount.” Said the owner.
I opened my mouth to agree and thank him for his generosity, but my father wasn’t done.
“Can you do better? Thirty-percent maybe?”
“Twenty-five.”
My father opened his mouth again but I interjected, “Deal!” I cried holding my hand out for the owner to shake.
And just like that, I had my present for Kit.
I hadn’t been nervous about visiting him in his room and giving him his birthday present, until I was knocking on his door. What were we going to do? What was I going to say?!
I was about to be alone in a hotel room with Kit Harington with a bunch of alcohol. I may have declined his offer to share a room because of the compromising positions that might lead to. But this was even worse! Kit, alcohol, hotel room… bad and sexy decisions were sure to follow.
But before I could freak out too much, the door swung open to reveal a clean shaven and smiling Kit, “Hey you.”
I stood there speechless as I gaped at him, “Oh my god.”
He frowned in confusion, “What?”
“Your beard! Its gone!” I marvelled, still in shock.
“Yeah it’s for the movie. I’m-” he began but I cut him off as I stepped into the hotel room and ran my hand along his smooth cheek.
“I can’t believe how different you look!” I breathed, slightly amazed.
“Different good or different bad?” he asked, suddenly sounding nervous.
“Different as in, you look like a twelve year old.” I stated.
“Shut up.” He grumbled as he battered my hands away from his face. I laughed as I headed into the hotel room.
“Is your mum here? Are you allowed to be in a hotel room alone?” I teased as I flopped down onto the couch in his lounge room. I was purposefully being humorous to relieve the tension throughout my body. Since when was I nervous around Kit?
Since I realised that kissing him was now a viable option.
None the less, I was going to keep up my humorous teasing if it would relieve any potential sexual tension that would arise with us being alone together.
“What time is your bed time?” I smiled.
“You’re really not that funny.” He said as he sat down next to me.
“Tell that to my Emmy award!” I fired back, “Last time I recalled, I have one and you don’t.”
“Last time I check I…” he trailed off, his brow creasing as he frowned in concentration.
I waited for his comeback, which he was taking a comical amount of time to come up with, “Yes?” I prompted.
“I got nothing.” He finally relented.
“You could have rubbed the whole, pay rise, getting over a million dollars per episode, thing.” I told him.
“Oh right. Yes! That!” he said, as if he only just remembered he was now a multi-millionaire.
“Nah uh. You have to come up with your own comebacks or it doesn’t count.” I reminded him solemnly.
“Damn.” He sighed.
The two of us let out similar chuckles of laughter at our own jokes.
We sat talking for a while about anything and everything, like we always did. Soon the tension I felt melted away and I was once again my comfortable self. A little too comfortable as it would turn out.
“I heard that radio show you did last week. That was hilarious.” He smiled.
“Oh god.” I complained, “That pick-up line skit made me hate men.”
“Well I’m glad you didn’t take any of them up on their offers.” He said conversationally.
“Why? Don’t you do well with competition?” I teased.
“It’s not a competition if I know your already going to go on a date with me.” He said pointedly.
“Excuse me? I never received such panty-dropping pick-up line that would make me agree to said date tomorrow night.” I smiled.
Even though we had already, technically, organized to go out for dinner tomorrow night, it was more of a mutual thing rather than Kit actually asking me on a date. So I felt that I could tease him just a little.
“You agreed. I made reservations. You flew to Toronto.” He said, almost seeming genuinely afraid that I was going to back out of our date.
“So? Reservations can be cancelled and for all you know, I flew to Toronto for the maple syrup.” I said simply.
His dark eyes narrowed as he eyed me shrewdly, “I can’t tell if your messing with me or not.”
“Deliver to me,” I said, throwing my hair over my shoulder theatrically, “Your best pick up line. If I like it, I will agree to said date tomorrow night. If not, I’m going out maple syrup hunting tomorrow night.”
“Maple syrup hunting? What does that even mean?”
“I don’t know. But it is what I will be doing if you don’t deliver an amazing pick-up line right now.” I threatened.
“Fine.” He relented.
I grinned in amusement, “You better use the fact that you’re in Game of Thrones or I won’t be impressed.” I advised.
“Give me a moment, I’m thinking.” He told me.
I couldn’t help but smile as I saw his brow once again crease with the effort of his thinking. It didn’t matter what he said. I was already planning to swoon theatrically at whatever he line he used. Did he honestly believe that I would travel all the way to Canada and not go on a date with him?
“Alright, I’ve got one.” He declared.
“Alright.” I said, flicking my hair theatrically, “Hit me.”
“Are Hodor’s legs tired? Because he’s been carrying you through my mind all day.”
“Oh Kit!” I cried, placing my hand to my forehead before I swoon theatrically, falling down so that my head landed in his lap, “This yonder knight has won this fair maiden’s heart!” I declared as I pressed my hands to my chest as he laughed, “What time shall my beloved arrival with a chariot escort me to said outing?” I asked, battering my eyelids as I looked up at him happily.
“Does six work for you?” he asked as he grinned down at me, barely hiding his laughter.
“Oh!” I squeaked, putting my hand to my forehead again, “By the hour of six! It is a thousand years till then!” I declared.
The two of us once again burst out laughing.
I was so busy laughing that I didn’t notice when Kit stopped, or that he was looking down at me with a look that could only be describe as adoration. But all of a sudden, I was smiling up at him and he was smiling down at me and the air between us began to crackle with electricity.
I really hadn’t noticed that my head was in his lap until that moment. But just as that alarming fact became suddenly clear to me, Kit moved his hand to brush his thumb across my cheek in an extremely delicate yet impossible romantic gesture.
A series on knots clenched in my stomach as the intimacy of the moment dawned on me. But the excitement quickly turned to fear as I realized he was staring very intently at my lips.
“Anyway!” I announced loudly, effectively breaking the romantic tension as I sat up, immediately scooting as far away from him as the couch allowed, “I should probably give you your birthday present and head back to James. He’s probably devoured everything in the mini-bar by now.” I said, rolling my eyes theatrically as I tried to erase the lingering sparks of chemistry that were still fluttering between us.
“You got me a birthday present?” he asked, sounding a little surprised.
“Yeah.” I smiled as I leaned over to grab my handbag off the floor where I had left it.
“You can keep it. I won’t like it.” He announced.
“You don’t even know what I got you.” I said pointedly as I brought my bag up into my lap.
“I don’t care. I want something else.” He said, a mischievous smile tugging at him lips.
I eyed him suspiciously, “What do you want?”
“I want you to kiss me.” He said simply.
I blinked in shock. My stun look must have amused him because he was smiling quite a large and toothy smile.
“Your smooth fucker.” I commented.
Even I had to admit, the circumstance surrounding him delivering that kind of line was just a little too perfect. If I wasn’t so apprehensive about our first kiss, I probably would have done it, I was that impressed.
“I’m afraid this year you’ll have to be happy with bottle of thirty-year-old scotch.” I said as I pulled the bottle out of my bag and presented it to him.
“Wow. A bottle of scotch as old as me.” He said, sounding impressed as he stared at the bottle in his hands.
I smiled awkwardly as I stood up, “See you tomorrow.” I said before I headed towards the door.
As I did, it suddenly struck me how odd it was for me to be so nervous about being intimate with a guy. It was just a kiss. What was the big deal?!
Was it because Kit was just so good looking that he made me nervous? No, that wasn’t it. Our friendship had gotten me past that.
Was it because of what James said? I wouldn’t be able to stop myself at just kissing him? Would that necessarily be a bad thing?
Was it because a part of me was still in a little bit of denial over him actually liking me?
Or was it because I was scared that once we kissed, if things went wrong, we wouldn’t be able to go back to being friends?
That point hit home. After all that he had said, I was still convinced that he was going to realize that I wasn’t as great as he thought and the he would break my heart. By delaying in kissing him, I was trying to minimize the damage that might be done. Which was completely idiotic of me.
If things between us had any chance of working, I needed to trust Kit. I needed to believe him when he said he wouldn’t hurt me.
Taking a deep breath, I steeled myself to be brave as I turned around and marched back over to Kit. He was leaning against the back of the couch, still looking at the bottle in his hands.
He had just enough time to look up before I leaned down and kissed him.
I could tell he was surprised for a moment, but after that, he seemed to melt into the kiss as his hand instantly came up to caress my cheek. I was surprised by how soft his lips were, they seemed to mould to mine, being so plump and full, I shouldn’t have been surprised. But I was.
The kiss was relatively chaste and I could feel him smile against my lips. I resisted the urge to smile back as I pulled away. I didn’t even look at him as I headed to the door, less he see how red my face had become.
“What was that for?” he called, seeming both delighted and confused.
“Merry Christmas!” I called as I pulled open the door and got the hell out of there.
