The Crowd and I [open]

[craig]

14th January 2010

Craig had been in Hawaii doing a photoshoot for a small role he had gotten in a movie, called Gravity. He was playing a friend to one of the main characters, but didn't have a lot to camera time, but that was okay. Craig was still concentrating on his modelling career, though if this new start in the acting industry put his face out there, then all the more better for him. So now he was just finishing up his time in front of the photographer, and headed back under the pull up tented area to get out of the sun.

There was a small crowd near the fenced off area, and as Craig went to get a bottle of water, he heard one of the photographers call out his name. Craig looked, then turned around and sat with his back to the crowd. He wasn't ignoring them, he just needed time to himself, and definately needed a drink from being out in the sun. Even if it was winter, it was still warm in the sun, but nice and cool in the shade.

It was two weeks into the New Year and every time someone wished her a happy new year, she really hoped that it would be a happy one, much happier than the last year she had just been through. In the last year she had been caught up in a bank heist where she almost died and got a vision of her wedding day to Ira and as she got to the altar, it turned out to be her brother Tony telling her that it wasn’t her time to go to heaven and she was to go back to the people who loved her. This led to Rosie going through a life saving operation and soon enough she was back to full health. It would seem the Osborne family were destined for tragedy though. Later that year Cameron was killed during a practice run for the Olympics. Rosie was close to Cameron and she was devastated at his death. She was just going over that when she had approached Ira about having a baby, but that only seemed to prompt him into proposing to her, which Rosie felt was a little pushed because of what she had asked of him. They fell apart soon after that, and then just as the year was coming to a close, Rosie found out her father had died of a heart attack. She was now the only one left in her family. So yes, 2010 could only be a better year.

Rosie had taken herself off to Hawaii, she felt she needed it. You could call it retail therapy of sorts. Hawaii was a place she and the family had gone to a few times when Rosie was younger. Maybe coming was a bad idea as it might have made her think about things too much. As it happened, it just made her think of good things. All the good memories the family had on their holidays. As Rosie walked along the beach she saw a small crowd just up ahead on the road off the beach, naturally Rosie walked toward it wondering what was going on. She soon managed to weave her way through the crowd and noticed there had been some sort of filming going on, or someone had been having their photos taken. She soon heard someone shout out the name ‘Craig’ and Rosie saw a younger guy look at the person who had shouted and then turned his back on them.

Rosie wasn’t usually one to get into things, not after the bank heist, but something compelled her to get involved somehow. “I think it looks like he needs a break, can’t you just leave him alone?” Rosie said as she gave the guy a small smile and trying to figure out why she knew the face of the young guy. She wasn’t sure he was a singer because being into music she would have known about that, so he must be a new actor or maybe a model, but she just couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

[craig]

Craig took a long drink of his water, and then glanced back to see what the guy was doing, who had called out his name. Craig just wanted some time alone. He wasn't snobby by any means, but sometimes the paparazzi just got to him a bit. He wasn't always snapped by them when he was a model, but now being in this movie, even if it was a small role on screen, they still managed to get to him, no matter where he was.

He then saw that a young woman was talking to the guy. Due to his enhanced senses, Craig heard every word that the woman said to the guy. Craig saw the smile that the woman gave him. So it seemed that there were still decent people out there. He then looked at the woman, and decided to get up, and speak to one of the security guys. "Hey. Just wondering if you could let that young woman over there with the blonde hair, come on through. Thanks." Craig slapped the guy on the arm, and watched him allowe the woman to come through.

Craig sat back down in the chairs, and barred one so that she could maybe sit down. Once the guard came back, Craig gave her a smile standing up, and extended his hand. "Hi. Name's Craig. Craig Woods. I heard what you said to that paparazzi guy. Thanks for that. They just don't know when to let up." Craig shook his head, and gestured for her to sit down, as he sat down. After introductions were done, Craig took a mouthful of his water. "If I knew it was going to be this big with filming and photoshoots for a film, not sure if I would have done it." He gave her a weak smile, and thne his mind went to Abby, the one girl he was missing since being in Hawaii.

{ooc - sorry it isn't much, wasn't sure what else to say.}

[rosie]

{ooc - it's fine, sometimes it's always slow to start a thread and depending on which characters are in the thread also}

When Rosie had told the photographer to leave the guy alone because it was obvious to her he had wanted a break from everything, the photographer just shrugged. “Only doing my job missy, and what business is it of yours anyway?” Rosie was quite shocked at having been spoken to in that way. She wasn’t a bad person and had only said what she said out of kindness toward the guy who so obviously was trying to take a break. “I don’t think you have to talk to me like that. It’s obvious he needed the break.” Rosie replied and just shook her head and the photographer just grunted and walked off in an obvious huff thought Rosie. Rosie was about to head off herself when a guard approached her and then pointed saying that the young guy wanted her to go through. She gave the person who had approached a bright smile and then made her way over to the other guy and as she got closer she knew she definitely knew his face but still couldn’t figure out from where.

Rosie noticed him keep one of the seats vacant for her and then as she and the guard arrived closer to him he stood up and offered his hand and told her his name and that he had heard what she said to the paparazzi guy and thanked her. She looked back to where she had been standing and then to where she was now standing and raised her eyebrow and then in her thick Australian accent she said “You heard me from all that distance?” She couldn’t help but ask wondering if he had some sort of super hearing. Mind you, she could talk, what with being able to freeze things in an instant. “Well, you’re welcome, and it’s nice to meet you Craig, I’m Rosangela Osborne, Rosie to friends.” She replied and then realised who Craig was, and put her hand up to her mouth. “Oh, now I know how I know your face, I’ve seen you in one of my magazines.”

Rosie felt her cheeks flush slightly thinking it was great to have a claim to fame so to speak. Rosie sat down after Craig had gestured for her to sit and he then began to talk saying that if he had known it was going to be so big with filming and photo shoots he wouldn’t have done it. She saw that weak smile he gave her which prompted her to give him a warm one back in return and then she gently placed her hand on his arm and replied saying, “That’s just terrible, but think of the money you will earn.” Well she didn’t know how much he would get for the job he was doing, but she figured it wouldn’t be peanuts. “I can only imagine how bad it will be if you have left someone special behind to be here.” Rosie said, not sure why she had said that, but just taking a guess that if he did have a girlfriend who was back home somewhere while he was out here doing this he was likely missing her and wishing he was back home.

[craig]

Hearing the photographer comment on what the girl said, made him shake his head slightly. Sometimes his ability was a curse, but in this instance, it was a good thing. Good on you, thought Craig, as the girl answered back to the guy. Soon enough, Craig got one of the security guards to bring the girl over. It was for the best, because she had told the photographer where to go, which he thought was cool in his eyes.

The young woman approached, and Craig extended his hand out to her. After he introduced himself, she questioned him about hearing her from all the way over where she was. Craig nodded, "Yes I did. But I will give you my secret soon enough." Hearing her voice, she was definately a foreigner, but he was also welcoming it, what with being in Australia so often with modelling. "And nice to meet you too Rosie, if you don't mind me using that nickname." Then when she soon recognised him, he gave her a small smile. "Yes, modelling is my actual thing. Been doing that for about two years now. Though not sure if this acting thing is my thing to be honest."

As they sat, gesturing for Rosie to do so, he saw that blush on her face, thinking that this was what happened when girls recognised him. Though they didn't know a thing about him, as he was just a model, and not a fully fledged celebrity. Well not to anyone who was over the age of twenty something. Craig had then mentioned about the fact that if he had known that it was goign to be this big with filming and everything that he wouldn't have done it. He saw a smile come onto her face, and heard what she said in reply. "I guess. And the money is good, don't get me wrong."

Then Rosie said the one thing that he had been thinking. "Well, in fact I have. I love me job, but do miss Abby, that is her name. We have only been together for four months now." He didn't know why he was sharing all this with someone he just met, but he didn't have anyone to really talk to about it all. "I also miss my family, especially my sister. I am always out doing photoshoots and so forth, so try and make time for her and my brother when I can."

[rosie]

Rosie just smiled at the guy as he said he would tell her his secret about hearing her from the significant difference soon enough. Really however he had managed it wasn’t any of her business, but if he was willing to tell, then she’d be willing to listen and comment on it. Then introductions were made and Rosie said it was nice to meet him. This prompted him to say it was nice to meet her too and she smiled some more. When he said he hoped she didn’t mind him using her nickname she waved her hand slightly, “No, not at all. I’ll answer to anything within reason.” She replied and laughed a little hoping that he would get the humour behind what she had just said. Rosie had then pointed out the fact she had seen him in one of her many magazines to which he confirmed that modelling was his thing and not being sure about the acting.

“Well, I reckon you wait until it’s finished and then see what you think of the finished article before you go making any rash decisions. But usually you can have a gut instinct about these things, so if that’s the way you’re feeling now then yeah maybe you should just stick to modelling although I dare say there are heaps of women out there who will love looking at such a spunky guy on the screen.” Rosie gave him a bright smile then not even embarrassed at what she had just said to him, really she was just saying the truth. He was pretty damn good looking; he was just a little too young for Rosie though.

Rosie had to laugh a little as Craig admitted that the money was good, “Well I know I wouldn’t sniff at it, but then I can’t even act so what chance have I got of earning big money like that?” Rosie was just a librarian and it had taken her long enough to even get that job, but it was better than doing nothing which was the way it had been for Rosie for some time, only because her life had been filled with tragedy so far and she wasn’t in any fit state to be in any sort of employment but now that she was finally finding her feet she felt like she was actually enjoying the job she now had. It wasn’t overly exciting by any means, but she got to meet people and Rosie liked that.

When Rosie had made the comment about him possibly leaving someone behind he had answered saying that he had and he missed her. “I had a feeling you would have had someone, she’s a very lucky girl then.” Rosie sighed gently and then Craig went on to mention about missing his family also, that she could relate to, although she was missing them in a different way entirely to what Craig was missing his family. “It’s nice that you’re so close then, to make time for them when you can. I don’t have any family left, all my brothers have died, one brother and my mother died when I was just a baby, and just before the turn of the year my father died of a heart attack, so I’m hoping this might be a better year for me, basically I have nobody.” Rosie hadn’t meant to blurt all of that out, but she was missing Ira terribly and she needed someone to speak to and since Craig was kind enough to call her over, she figured she may as well tell him, someone who was neutral to it all; thankfully she had said it without breaking down.

[craig]

When Craig had said that he wasn't sure about the acting, with modelling being his thing, Rosie suggested that maybe he should wait until it was finished to see what he thought of the finished product. At the end of what she said had made him smile, in regards to heaps of women out there loving looking at such a spunky guy on the screen. Craig snickered a bit. He knew he was pretty good looking, and had somehow managed to snag a girl like Abby. "Well I only have a small part, but still, thanks for the vote of confidence."

Craig gave her a small smile, when she commented that she would sniff at the money, and she couldn't act. "Well I am sure that you are good at whatever you do. What do you do, job wise?" It always got him interested in what others did. His sister was a vet and also used to ice skate, his brother ran a boxing ring. They all had different professions, it was crazy. But he loved modelling, though had to get used to this new found fame of being an actor, even if his role was only small.

Rosie had commented about him maybe leaving someone behind, and he had, telling her so, saying he missed her. Craig gave her a warm smile. "Thanks, and she is fantastic." He was almost counting down the time till he left Hawaii and saw her again. Craig had then mentioned about missing his family also, and Rosie then replied to that. But then she commented about not having family, and who she had lost in the process of it all. Craig just gently raised his eyes, not wanting to look shocked too much of what she had been through, and who she had lost. Once she was finished, Craig put a gentle hand on her arm. "Oh my God, that is tragic Rosie. Really, I don't know how you are going. I almost lost Emma, my sister, when she was hit by a car last April. I just can't imagine how you were, or how you are now feeling about it all. Here, take this." Craig pulled out a piece of paper, and wrote down his phone number. "If you ever need to talk to someone, or hang out, you can contact me on this number. But please don't give it to anyone." He then handed over the piece of paper to Rosie. "I normally live in New York, unless I am out and about around the world doing modelling gigs."

He then looked around and wondered if they could go for a walk and talk. "Do you want to go for a walk, or something. I don't think I need to be anywhere right now. I just did a whole bunch of photoshoots before. Interviews aren't till later this afternoon, so I am free to chat for a couple of hours."

[rosie]

When Craig thanked Rosie for the confidence even though the part in the movie was just a small one she smiled warmly at him. “You’re welcome. I know a spunky guy when I see one, even if you are younger than me.” She began to laugh a little then knowing that anybody walking by and hearing her say that to Craig they would think she was a stalker or cradle snatcher or something although to be fair she didn’t look too much older than him, nor did he look too much younger.

When Rosie had made a joke about not sniffing at the money and she couldn’t even act, Craig had then asked her what it is she did do. She had a feeling he may have asked and she sort of blushed slightly knowing that her job wasn’t anything that exciting. “Ah, I’m just a librarian, nothing too fancy to be honest with you. I had been trying to get a job for ages but with everything that has been going on in my life recently it just wasn’t happening. Took me long enough to get the job I have now, but I do like it, I love meeting people.” Rosie explained giving Craig a bright smile. Well if nothing else they could at least be friends hopefully, Rosie needed friends at the very least, she had nobody else in her life anymore.

Rosie had to give him another bright smile as he spoke of his girlfriend saying she was fantastic, “That really is great, and I am betting that she is missing you just as much.” The next thing she knew Rosie was pouring her heart out to Craig telling all about her tragic life recently and of all the family members she had lost. Usually she wouldn’t tell a stranger anything so personal, but she was finding it easy to talk to Craig. She soon felt Craig put his hand on her arm and this was when she actually cracked a little, she had been doing well at not getting upset until he shown her some sympathy. She had to look down at her feet for a few seconds until she gathered herself together while he spoke saying that it was so tragic.

Rosie had to put her thumb into her mouth as he continued to speak talking about almost losing his sister when she was hit by a car. She slowly looked up at him then, with her eyes filled with tears and swallowed a couple of times so she could talk, “I’m sorry about your sister, but I’m glad she’s alright now.” Craig then spoke again telling her to take this, and then he handed her over his number on a piece of paper telling her if she ever needed to talk or hang out with someone she could contact him but not to give his number to anyone. She shook her head giving him a weak smile, “I wouldn’t dream of giving your number to anyone else. Thanks Craig, you might just get a call or two from me, I could do with a good friend.”

She knew that he had his girlfriend and no doubt he would want to spend as much of his spare time with her as possible, but hopefully he might be able to spare some time for her if and when she needed it. She put the piece of paper into her bag and made a mental note to remember to add it to her phone later and send him a text just to confirm that she had entered the number right and to give her number to him also. He had then added that he normally lives in New York unless he is out and about with modelling. She brightened up a bit then, “I’m from Brooklyn in New York myself to be honest with you.” So it would seem it might be easy enough to hook up with him if she ever needed to talk to him or whatever.

She then saw him take a look around before he spoke to her again asking if she wanted to go for a walk or something adding that he was free for a couple of hours. She gave him a brighter smile as she bit down on her bottom lip, “That might be nice if you don’t mind, it will save me wallowing, which is what I’m about to do.” She admitted, as she once again could feel the tears stinging at her eyes. Why had she done so well up until the point of when he touched her arm with his hand? She then waited for Craig to lead the way to wherever he wanted to go.

[craig]

Craig couldn't hold back a smile then, as Rosie said that she knew a spunky guy when she saw one, even if he was younger than her. Hearing that laugh of hers made him laugh a little as well. It felt good to know that most of the young women took notice of him, even though he wasn't one who always bragged.

Craig had then asked Rosie what her job was, and she soon told him. "A job is a job in my book. Being a librarian is a good job to have. At least you can see what new books are being released." He wondered what he would ever fall back on, if his career ever went downhill for any reason. "Not sure what I could do if my career suddenly came to a stop. Never did anything after school, so knowing me I would have to go back to school. Though the travelling has been good, so maybe do a bit of that to get some experience. Or even set up my own talent agency if all else fails." These ideas were good, thought Craig, though hope that I don't have to think about this for sometime yet.

After Rosie commented about his girlfriend, probabaly missing him also, Craig nodded. He pulled out his wallet, and handed her a picture of her. "This is Abby."

Then Rosie had spoken about what had happened to her family recently, and Craig just couldn't believe it. He had then placed his hand on her arm. With that gesture, he soon saw Rosie begin to cry, and all he could do was put an arm around her, till she calmed down. But he then spoke of how it was tragic, and he didn't know how she was doing with it all. He had added about his sister, and how he had almost lost her, and then Craig saw her look up at him, with the tears in her eyes. He gave her a weak smile, as she said that she was sorry to hear about his sister, and that she was glad that she was alright now. "Me too."

He then had given over his number, telling her if she needed to talk or hang out, that she could call him, but she couldn't give the number out. He gave her a warm smile, as Rosie spoke about not dreaming of giving the number out, but then adding towards the end that he might just get a call or two from her, and that she could do with a good friend. "Well you can count me in that friend heading then." After Craig said that he normally lived in New York, Rosie said that she was from Brooklyn. "What a small world, we are from there as well. Will definately have to get together when I am free." He gave her a bright smile, thinking it would be nice to have friends outside of his modelling career. Some of those modells were just so stuck up.

Craig had then asked if she wanted to go for a walk, as he had a couple of hours to spare. He gave her a small smile, after she spoke. "Well I will make it my mission to keep you entertained then, so that you don't do that." He then got up, and led the way out from under the tent, out into the sunshine again. They got a few steps, when Craig turned to Rosie. "So what brings you to Hawaii, if I may ask?"

[rosie]

When Craig had asked Rosie what kind of job she had, she had told him that she was just a librarian and that it was nothing too fancy, she had to smile as Craig responded saying that a job was a job and made the comment that she could see what new books were being released. Well that was true and Rosie did love to read. She smiled at him, “I guess you’re right, and I do love to read to be honest with you.” Craig then said he didn’t know what he would do if his career ever fell through mentioning about going back to school or travelling or set up his own talent agency if all else failed. Rosie shook her head with a warm smile, “I honestly don’t think you have anything to worry about with your career falling through, I don’t think that will be happening any time soon, who wouldn’t want to work with you?” Rosie asked grinning at him and it was true, he was nice, seemed pretty caring and he was spunky, what more could you ask for.

The conversation had then turned to Craig’s girlfriend Abby and soon enough Craig was handing Rosie a photograph of her. Rosie smiled brightly as she looked at it before handing it back. “Wow, she’s gorgeous Craig, I can understand why you would be missing her and I just know that she’s probably climbing the walls wondering when you’ll be back.” She really was pretty, she had bright eyes which when smiling just seemed to light up her whole face. It did make Rosie wonder if she would ever find love again. She thought she had found it with Ira but that had all turned sour and she was sure it was to do with being so broody at the time. She had gotten over the broody feeling now, well she had to what with all the tragedy in her life, but sometimes she still couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to have a life totally dependent on her and now that she didn’t have a family to speak of, having a child to look after and take care of sounded like a good thing to her. she sighed a little then, “I hope I get to meet a special someone soon, what with the way things have happened in my life so far it would be nice to have someone special to share my life with.”

She didn’t know why she had just said that to Craig, after all he was happily settled with the gorgeous Abby, maybe it was all coming out simply because she had someone to talk to about it. She had then began to tell him all about her family and the tragedies that she had to endure so that he would understand her need to find someone special if not just for the fact of having someone neutral to it all to pour her heart out to. Sometimes you just needed to do that, pour your heart out to anyone who would listen. Craig had put his hand on her arm and it had made the tears begin to fall and soon enough Craig has put his arm around her which considering he had a girlfriend and didn’t really know her well enough she thought was very kind of him to do that. She did eventually begin to calm down because really Rosie had cried all the tears she could cry over the tragedies in her life.

Craig had then given her his number saying she could contact him if she ever wanted to spend some time with him as a friend obviously but had told her not to give it to anyone, not that she would have and she said as much to him. She saw him give her the warm smile after she said she wouldn’t dream of giving the number out to anyone and that he might just get a call or two from her and that she could do with a good friend. She had to smile warmly when Craig said she could count him in the friend heading. “Thanks Craig.” She replied and then Craig told her that he normally lived in New York and Rosie told him that she was from Brooklyn and then she had to giggle slightly when Craig then said that it was a small world and that his family were from there too and they would definitely have to meet up when he was free and gave her a bright smile. Rosie returned his smile with one of her own, “Well I won’t say no to that Craig.”

After Craig spoke about going for a walk Rosie had replied saying it was a good idea as otherwise she would just sit and wallow. She had to laugh a little when Craig said that he would make it his mission to keep her entertained to stop her from doing that. She bit on her bottom lip again and grinned, “I like the sound of that Mr. Woods.” She then watched as he stood up and began to lead the way out of the tent and they were back into the sunshine once more. After they walked a couple of steps Craig turned to Rosie and asked her what had brought her to Hawaii if he could ask. She smiled and nodded her head, “It’s fine. I came here because it’s the place where we always used to come on our family holidays and I felt like a bit of retail therapy. When I first arrived I thought it was going to have too many bad memories, but so far it’s been nothing but good memories, I think it’s been good for me to come here other than my little episode before which I’m very sorry about, getting all upset on you.”

[craig]

Craig gave Rosie a warm smile, when she said that she didn't think that he had anything to worry about with his career, in regards to it falling through. "Thanks Rosie. Well I hope that is the case." He chuckled a little, wondering if anyone really famous might want to work with him in the future. If not, he would just continue his modelling career.

When Craig had shown Rosie a picture of Abby, she commented on how she was gorgeous, and understanding why he would be missing her. "Thanks," and he put the picture back. Then Rosie spoke of hoping that she got to meet a special someone soon, what with the way things had happened in her life so far. Craig gave her a reassuring smile. "I am sure you will. What isn't there to love?" he smiled more, somehow knowing that she would, as she seemed like a genuine person to have in your life.

After Rosie had spoken about all the things that had happened in her life, Craig had given her his number, and said that if she needed to talk or hang out just to give him a call. He had said that she could count him in the freind heading, and Craig smiled at her, when she thanked him. He slowly nodded his head, and then it soon came about that they were from the same area, Brooklyn, which made him say that it was a small world. When he said that they would definately have to meet up when he was free, Rosie said that she wouldn't say no. "Cool. Well I will have to give you a call when all of this dies down. Then you can meet Abby."

Craig had then suggested that they go for a warlk, which Rosie said was a good idea. When he said that he was going to make it is his mission to keep her entertained, stopping her from wallowing. He saw that grin, and smiled as she said that she liked the sound of that. So Craig led the way, and after a few steps, asked her what brought her to Hawaii, if he was allowed to ask. He looked down at the ground as he walked, listening and occassionally looking at Rosie as she spoke. It sounded to him that it was a good thing that she came. When she was finished, he shook his head.

"Hey, it's okay. Sometimes we are entitled to a moment. But it sounds like it was a good thing you came. Maybe, it's like closure maybe, or something, I don't know." Then his mobile rang, "Excuse me for a minute." He answered it:

Craig: Hey Heidi.
Heidi: Hi Craig. Sorry to do this to you, but your interviews this afternoon have been moved to like in half an hour.
Craig: Oh...
Heidi: It's not a problem is it?

Craig looked over at Rosie, knowing that she needed to talk, or needed someone to talk to right now. He sighed a little.

Craig: No, it's fine. Where do I have to go?
Heidi: Just up to the hotel. Just head back to the tent, and a driver will come and get you. And I will meet you in the foyer.
Craig: Okay. Bye.
Heidi: Bye.

Craig hung up his phone, placing it in his pocket. He slowly made his way back to Rosie, giving her an apologetic look. "I am so sorry, but it looks like the interviews have been rescheduled to like in half an hour, so I need to get back." He felt bad as she truly needed to talk to someone, and that someone happened to be Craig. "You can stay in the tent for as long as you need, okay?" He waited for her reply, then led them back to the tent.

[rosie]

After Rosie had told Craig she didn’t think he had anything to worry about with his career falling through he had thanked her and said he hoped that would be the case. Rosie just gave him a bright smile in return knowing that to be the case, at least until they deemed him too old or something, she wasn’t sure if models had what they call an expiry date or not after all footballers and tennis players retired from their sport at quite a young age, but in the sport terms it was a good age to retire. She didn’t know if that kind of thing worked for models as well.

When Rosie had made the comment about hoping she might meet someone special soon what with how things had gone in her life so far, she saw that reassuring smile from Craig and he then spoke saying he was sure she would and what wasn’t there to love. The words made Rosie blush ever so slightly and she gave him another bright smile, “Well thank you Craig that is very nice of you to say so.” Although it did make her wonder what there would be in her that would be appealing to another male, she wasn’t anything that special she didn’t think.

Once they discovered they both lived in Brooklyn, Craig had suggested about meeting up when he was free and Rosie had replied saying she wouldn’t say no. She again had to smile brightly as he replied saying that he would have to give her a call when all of it died down and then she could meet Abby. “That would be wonderful Craig; it’s always good to have more friends.” If Rosie was to be completely honest with herself the only thing she did feel she had going for her was that she was very friendly and easy to get on with.

Craig had then suggested they go for a walk and then he had asked her what brought her to Hawaii she had replied finishing with apologising for getting upset on him before. Craig replied right away saying that it was okay and that everyone was entitled to a moment and adding that it sounded like a good thing that she had come. She nodded her head believing that to be so, “I believe so.” She replied and then Craig’s mobile rang and he excused himself, she waved her hand with a smile understanding completely. Rosie walked around a bit by herself slowly, not going too far but not wanting to be nosey and listening into his conversation, but soon enough he was finished and he came over to her apologising saying that the interviews had been rescheduled.

Rosie gave him another warm smile and shook her head, “It’s fine, I understand.” He had then said that she could wait in the tent for as long as she wanted to. “Well, I could do that and then we could maybe finish where we left off when you’re finished, as long as you’re alright with that.” Rosie replied, knowing she wouldn’t have a problem with it, and it wasn’t like she had anywhere to be or anybody to be with.
