She regretted pushing him away so suddenly, like a coward doing a half assed job at proving herself. Nadia wanted give an apologetic look at David or at least say something, but she was still quite shaken from what she had just done. Eventually, the right words found her. "I'm sorry. I... that was really what I wanted, David. But I haven't had many disappointments in my life. You can't blame me for being cautious like this." She gave him a small smile before he spoke to her.<br/><br/>When he spoke of Patricia, Nadia looked away, now understanding fully what had happened earlier in front of her dressing room. Jealousy was such a terrible feeling, it ate people up from the inside even if they tried to convince themselves that they were fine putting up with whatever was making them feel like that. For the record, she didn't believe David when he stated they had a connection, but only on screen. She had seen for herself how Patricia had looked at David and how sour her face had gone when seeing Nadia. The thoughts that flooded into her mind seemed to overpower everything that came out of David's mind after he had made his confession about Patricia.<br/><br/>"I understand David. You don't have to explain it to me." She said, forcing a smile and brushing off his last part about how he felt about Nadia herself. "I'm not blind myself and I can tell when someone is better than me. Just so you know, I won't compete with her. This isn't high school anymore and I don't have the time and energy to do it. I hope this isn't what you were looking to do in the first place." Nadia's voice wasn't angry, it was actually quite soft and nice, but the bitterness behind them was not very well concealed.<br/><br/>And then he told her to live in the present moment and not think so much about such things. Nadia sighed and shook her head. "I'm sorry. You know what? Patricia might be a better candidate. I'm sure she's just the kind to not think and jump instead." Nadia was starting to feel uncomfortable in the moment and regretted her earlier confession. She really just wanted to walk back home, fall in bed and forget about this foolishness. "I should go. Thanks for joining me tonight. Just walk along this street and you'll arrive to your hotel in about ten minutes. Good night." She forced a final smile on her face before removing her hand from his grip and hurrying past him, hoping to put all of this behind herself.<br/><br/>Big mistake. She should have just stuck to ballet and not herself be swayed by the first hints some handsome actor was giving her. He was obviously just trying to create a scene with two girls fighting for him, the dream of every man on earth. Nadia realized how bitter she sounded and breathed deeply to calm herself down and find more positive thoughts. At least she had given things a shot and she knew now for sure that this just wasn't for her exactly.
