nini heard a knock on her door and turned around to see ricky shyly standing behind the door. he gave her a cheeky smile as nini leaned against her dressing room table, "hey," the girl said.
"sup, can i come in for a minute?" ricky quietly asked nini. the girl nodded her head so ricky made his way into nini's dressing room and shut the door behind him. ricky dug his hands into his pockets and cleared his throat, "you did great filming today.. pretty solid."
"yeah," nini awkwardly breathed out with a smile, "you too." she quietly said and looked towards the floor. the two of them stood in awkward silence before ricky started to speak again.
"so last night—"
"—was really weird, huh?" nini asked, cutting ricky off. the boy nodded his head and chuckled. ricky ran his fingers through his hair as he thought about what to say next. it was getting hot in the room and they were both feeling it.
"it was pretty fun though, huh?" nini added on. ricky lifted his head from the floor and raised and eyebrow at the girl. he felt his cheeks got hot and tried his best to cover his smirk.
"yeah, it kinda was," ricky added on, "which is strange, considering the fact that i was hanging around you."
nini rolled her eyes. there he was. there's the asshole she has come to know. the girl was starting to think that maybe ricky wasn't so bad after all, but then he opens his mouth and all hope goes down the drain.
"whatever. at least it's over now, okay?" nini spat at ricky, "it was one stupid night and now that it's over we can go back to our shitty lives, shitty relationship, and shitty contract."
"i'm happy we're on the same page," ricky told nini in a snarky voice which made her roll her eyes. ricky looked at nini's dresser to see a plate full of sprinkled donuts laying on it. ricky made his way up to the table, "cool donuts, can i have one?"
before nini could even answer, ricky already had one in his hand. he had no problem stuffing the donut down his face before nini could pull it out of him, "you're probably the rudest person i've ever fucking met."
"learned from the best," was all ricky said as he eyed nini with a smirk. the girl let out a frustrated sigh and glanced at ricky's face.
"you just can't do anything right, can you?"
"what the hell are you talking about?"
"you have frosting on your face, idiot."
ricky used the back of his sleeve to wipe his cheek, no luck. "other side," nini told the boy. he moved to his other cheek but still kept missing, "nope," nini told the boy again. she watched as ricky repeatedly tried to wipe his face but constantly missed the chocolate frosting that hung at the corner of his lip.
"oh my god, here. i'll do it," nini let out. she cupped ricky's face with her hand and used a tissue to wipe the frosting off of his face. they stood in silence as nini cleaned the messy boy up, "truly don't understand you, bowen."
once his face was clean, she tossed the tissue to the side while her hand still held on to his face. she glanced back at ricky who was looking at nini with a soft smile. he placed his hand over nini's and she felt the warmth of his hand protect hers.
"thanks," ricky softly said. nini caught herself staring at ricky and quickly let go of his face. she cleared her throat and looked down to the floor.
"mhm, no problem," was all nini said before she started to walk away from him. she distanced herself from the other side of the room and crossed her arms over her chest, "anyways, was that all you needed to tell me or...?"
ricky forced a smile and nodded his head, "yeah, no, we're uh good. that was all."
"great, i'll uh see you tomorrow then," nini said.
"yup! big kissing scene tomorrow!!" ricky exclaimed with a goofy smile on his face. nini's cheeks turned red so she turned away from ricky.
"yaeah! kissing scene tomorrow," she exclaimed, "can't wait."
"awesome..."
"we should .. uh .. be able to do it in one take," nini started to say as ricky nodded his head in agreement, "we're professionals. not that hard of a scene."
"duh! we're totally professionals."
"totally," nini breathed out as her and ricky stared at each other with lust.
shit.
the girl found herself making her way towards her dressing room door, locking it. she stared at the wooden door in front of her and let out a deep sigh before turning around to face ricky. the boy gave nini a smirk and slowly walked up to it.
"well if we want the scene to be perfect tomorrow then we should practice it, right?"
"right," nini breathed out, stepping closer into ricky.
"practice makes perfect," was all ricky said before nini smashed her lips into his.
