"Come here," his voice is gentle again.
She gives in, placing her small hand in his. Lifting the cloth, he sees her blood spill out from her palm. He inhales sharply through his teeth and presses the rag back down. They sit there like that for abo...
Gesine is in the living room when Keanu pulls out of the driveway. Sandra enters the kitchen, drops her house key and purse on the table, and haphazardly kicks off her running shoes. She walks into the living room and collapses onto the couch next to her sister, still wearing her coat.
"You look...confused?" Gesine chuckles. "How'd it go tonight?"
Sandra sits straight up, peeling the hat from her head. With her coat still on, she drops her head to the side as if working on a brain teaser. Her eyes narrow and her eyebrows lower as she replays the night's events.
"I don't really know." She turns to face her sister. "Good?" With three fingers, she taps her mouth and continues her pensive look.

Keanu turns the radio off as he drives toward the Chateau Marmont in silence. Gripping his steering wheel, he glances at his hand. His thoughts are invaded by visions of his fingers wrapped around her hips, guiding them in circles to match his own. He can almost feel the smooth fabric of her pants where the steering wheel now lies. His phone rings as he pulls into the parking lot.
"Hello?"
"How'd it go tonight, bro?" Jude's voice is on the other end. They are unable to spend much time together while he is on this tight filming schedule, but they still check in every few days.
After a long pause, Keanu replies, "I don't really know."
Jude has noticed the change in his best friend in the past couple of weeks. With each day, more of his set stories seem to involve Sandra. He could tell by Keanu's tone when he is smiling, the two know each other so well. Lately, Keanu has been smiling a lot.
Jude knew Sandra from a year prior when they worked on a low budget project together. He is fond of her. Hollywood can be quite the incestuous playground for young up-and-comers. He liked her immediately and knew Keanu would, too.

"Alright, spill it." Gesine isn't used to seeing her sister at such a loss for words. She is unflappable as a general rule; almost nothing leaves her off balance. She doesn't like to lose control so she takes very little risk when it comes to anything outside of her career.
