Bruno watched Kassie put hair spray inwet hair quickly swiping on mascara, eyeliner and blush turning tosmile at him. "Am I hot or what?" she giggled.

"Very...now let's go....I'malready late..." he told her taking her hand leading her out thedoor.

Bruno sat down in the empty seatsitting next to Ari and Dwanye looking at Kassie sitting a few seatsaway from him next to Willa and Dani. No one said a word while Brunolooked over the menu and Kassie stared off into space. "Shit. Ihave the biggest headache." Bruno said breaking the silence.

"I do too..." Kassie answered hisstatement.

"Shit. Y'all have a lot more thana headache." Sam said quietly.

"Oh, I talked to mom..." she toldhim shooting him a I'mgoing to kill you look.

"Oh." he answered matter offactly.

"Thanks for telling her." Kassiesnapped.

"Oh my goodness. I can feel the loveat this table." Kameron interjected. Kassie glanced down at herphone after ordering French toast sticks for breakfast seeing herblackberry lighting up.

It will be okay.

I hope so.

I love you.

Bruno looked up from his phone aftersending the final text message slightly embarrassing her. Will leanedover to look at the texts.

"It is cute." she told her.

"I know." Kassie respondedflipping through her phone to check her e-mail. Ohshit. There's google alerts out the ass...Sheflippied her phone up directing it toward Ryan indicating that heneeded to check his e-mail for his best friend. She mouthed Ohshit to him. She kept hereye on Ryan as he pressed buttons looking at the same thing she was.

Ryan got up from his seat grabbingBruno and then shot his eyes toward the outside of the eating area atKassie. "I'll be right back..." Kassie told her brother.

"I just called Brandon. What are yougoing to do, California?" he asked her.

"I need to call Eloisia..." sheanswered looking down at her phone. Bruno followed Kassie out of theroom watching her talk to Eloisa. "I know..you saw itright?...Yeah...do we need to say something?...I don't know..I canask...no..well...I mean yes....but it was something that would havehappened eventually..." she explained. "Yeah. Okay. I don'tknow...no..there hasn't been anyone over here yet...okay. I will.Alright. Yeah. He's going to call him in a second...you'll callhim? Yes. We need to make sure we say the same thing..." Ryanwalked over to them showing them his phone with a BreakingNews story from TMZ. "I'llcall you if I need you. Okay, Ellie..I'll see you tomorrow...."

"Shit." Bruno said quietlywatching Ryan sit down next to them.

"What are y'all going to do?"Ryan asked them.

"Ellie is going to write somethingout...but you have to talk to Brandon. We have to be consistent inwhat or what we don't say." Kassie told him diplomaticallyshowing off her previous entertainment experience.

"That's the only thing we can do..."Bruno said. "And avoid everything for a little bit. You're goinghome tonight, right baby?" he asked her.

"Yeah. Tonight..." Kassie replied.

"Then let's go. We only have a fewmore hours together..." he smiled at her.

"I like the way you think." sheanswered him.

"And turn off your phone." heinsisted. "It can wait until Monday." he told her.
