Nadia was enjoying the first bits of her cigarette, trying to decide between a relaxing bubble bath or a steaming hot shower, when she happened to look over her shoulder and see both David and Patricia staring at her. Both of them were holding cigarettes and seemed to tense up when seeing her there. For the first time in her life, Nadia felt like she was an outsider, unwelcomed by others. She blew out a cloud of smoke before turning her back to the couple and dreading the piercing pain she felt in her chest. Whether or not David's behavior was an act, she didn't know and wasn't sure whether she wanted to know. Her little confession had already put both of them under so much pressure that it just didn't make sense for her to bother herself with it. And yet she couldn't stop thinking about him.<br/><br/>It was so unfair and no matter how many times she heard that sentence in her head, it didn't change the fact that life itself was unfair. Powerful people were in positions of power precisely because they acted like Patricia and thus got what they wanted. But Nadia wasn't like that. She looked back to the couple who had moved slightly further away from them, surprised to see David looking back to her. Nadia gave him a slight smile before turning away and placing her cigarette back between her lips. If only she could be that strong woman who walked up to people, changed things and made all happen. If only she had the guts to go to them right now and tell Patricia that she could hate on her all she wanted, but that she'd never be able to change her feelings for David.<br/><br/>Suddenly a strong yet familiar feeling took over her, similar to that one moment she had had two days ago when David had asked her out to eat with him. This time it wasn't a deja-vu feeling, it was as if she was remembering something very, very distant. It made her feel dizzy for several minutes and she dropped her cigarette before even finishing it. Once the feeling was over, Nadia strangely found herself with more confidence than earlier, as if someone or something had reminded her of how deserving she was compared to Patricia. With a deep breath, she turned around and walked over to the couple with a determined look in her eyes. It was time to teach her a lesson.<br/><br/>"Patricia." She spoke firmly, stepping between her and David. "I knew you weren't a particularly bright woman, but what you did today was unforgivable. To make it seem like this guy and I were together... I can't believe it. You really must have known about me and Jade, otherwise you wouldn't have done such a foolish thing." Nadia was surprised how easily the lies dropped from her lips and created a fascinating love story between her and the blonde dancer from earlier. "I don't care what you think of me or her. I love her and today you took her away from me with your disgusting lies. You know, I'd love to see the reaction of the media and your fans once they find out that you nearly got a lesbian girl fired because of your stuck up ignorance." She smiled slightly. "In fact, I think I'll go tell them that story first thing tomorrow morning. I have plenty of witnesses after all. I wonder how well your music video will do after such news comes out, though... But it's okay, I mean you have this guy here." Nadia pointed to David, her eyes narrowing. "Banging actors is more important than preserving your image, am I right? Of course I am! Have a good night."<br/><br/>She flashed Patricia a final smile before turning around, her back to the blonde and giving the smallest wink to David before walking off. Ah, she had no idea what she had just done but it felt good, so incredibly good. For the first time in her life, Nadia Talini had touched fire and although it still burned and pricked her skin, she was enchanted by it. The adrenaline flowed in her veins and the thought of getting fired for such a story was both depressing and exciting. Hell, at least she'd leave this all behind her with a statement and not some meek lamb that never opposed to those who bullied her. She was done with bowing her head when clearly this woman should be bowing hers instead. And she'd make her bow, even if that was the last thing she'd do on this god forbidden set. And even if it made her look like a psycho in David's eyes. Every woman had it in themselves, but it took the right people and the right moment to bring it out of them.<br/><br/>Nadia hurried to the tram station and laughed slightly at her earlier words. She was either very confident in her lies or a complete idiot for doing that. Either way, it felt good. Nothing had ever felt as good as that ever before. Breathing in the chilly air, she decided on a relaxing bubble bath and a glass of red wine. It would surely tame the beast that had been awakened just now.
