After minutes of waiting, Melanie came to the exact location that Charlie told her to go to. Danielly stood behind Charlie, who is patiently for Melanie.

Melanie, who is trying to cover herself by wearing an oversized hoodie and leggings, walks up to Charlie with her head down.

_-_-_-_-Charlie's POV-_-_-_-_

I'm going to take this chance to confess. I will tell that I like her.

I took a deep breath before speaking and look behind me, to see Danielly worriedly waiting.

I look back at Melanie and asked "Do you know why I brought you here?", Melanie shrugs and I continued "It's because I want to tell you something...

I know you rejected me through text but I want to know if you mean it. Your feelings seem obvious that's why I'm saying this again. Danielly Jones, I have fallen in love with you and I want to know how you actually feel."

_-_-_-_-Danielly's POV-_-_-_-_

Does he mean it?! Am I hearing things right? I thought he just likes me but LOVE?! No no no, this must be a dream! I'm supposed to get my phone back, not this!

I took a peek at Melanie, who was fidgeting with her fingers, unable to saying anything. SHE REJECTED CHARLIE FOR ME?! OH NO SHE DIDN'T-

"I-" I cut Melanie off by standing in front of her, she looks up with shock and I grab her wrist before she runs away.

"Please give me back my phone Melanie. I'm asking you nicely, now give it." I give her a serious glare, which made her nervous. She hurriedly took my phone out of her pocket and gave it to me.

"Oh, you should really stop the fake rumors, I know you did it." I added, Melanie was about to say something but stuttered instead, she glanced at Charlie then back at me.

"Ok ok I'm sorry, I'll be deleting all of them! I'm sorry, just let me go." Melanie cried out, I released my grip on Melanie's wrist and watch her take out her phone and do what I told her to do.

I open my phone and checked if she's faking it or not, I'm glad she actually announced the rumor was fake. I look back at Melanie, who was slowly making her way out of the area. I'll let her be, I won't make her suffer for long.

I sighed in disbelief, I put my phone inside my pocket and look at Charlie, who is already blushing.

"Do you mean it?" I asked, he slightly nodded and I giggled at his cuteness.

"I feel the same way."

Charlie looks at me in shock and hugs me out of happiness. "Really?!" He excitedly asked, I nodded as my response.

He releases the hug and held my hands, "Does that mean you will be my significant other?".

His words left me in shock, Melanie just announced we aren't dating. Should I accept his confession?

"I'm sorry but...I think that'll have to wait" I said, which made Charlie removes his hands off mine, he looks at me with sadness. And I mumbled 'Sorry', he softly nodded and walk away. Just like that?

_-_-_-_-♡-_-_-_-_

Months have passed by and we would unexpectedly meet each other, but we wouldn't form a conversation.

I continue my career as an actress, and Charlie continues his.

As I'm walking down the streets, covering myself to avoid any cameras, my phone started to ring. I pick up my phone out of my bag and answered the call without checking the ID first.

"Is this Danielly Jones?" A familiar voice asked, "Mhm" I replied, "Great, I work with Kenny Ortega and we're wanting to know if you'd like to be a cast of a new movie?" They asked. My face lit up and I agreed with joining, "Ok then, thank you so much. The meeting location will be xxxxxxxx starting over morrow" They stated, I said 'thank you as well' before ending the call.

Well, that was quick casting, I didn't even have to audition.

It only has been months since I last saw him...I miss him a lot honestly, but I'm too afraid to make the first move.

I'm still waiting for the right time to accept Charlie's confession, the rumors are still out there, the good thing is that it hasn't been focused on much.

What if I'll meet Charlie in the meeting? What am I even thinking? I have no idea. Why am I always expecting him wherever I go? Do I really miss him THAT much?

I sigh, not knowing what to feel. My feelings for him are there but...I'm still waiting for the right time.

The day of the meeting...

My eyes shot wide open by the sudden noise of my vexing alarm, I immediately reach my hand out to close the alarm, which is on the nightstand of Melanie's bed.

Yes, I'm still living in the same apartment. Melanie and I haven't seen each other ever since that "incident" either.

I extended my arms and legs to stretch then remove the blanket that was on me before getting out of bed, I put on my slippers and directly went to the bathroom to get ready for the meeting.

After showering, I wrap a towel around my body and walk out of the bathroom to get my clothes.

I decided to go simple today, I took a white blouse, denim pants, and a black leather belt.

After changing, I make my way to the vanity and dried my hair for volume then I put on a bit of makeup. As I finished putting on my makeup, I stood in front of a mirror to see whether I look decent or not, I'm glad I do.

For breakfast, I just grabbed an apple. I ate it fast as I could then I throw the apple core in the trash. I took the house keys with me and left the apartment.

I took a taxi to reach the meeting spot, I'm so excited yet nervous at the same time, who will I meet there? Charlie? No no no.

After a short ride, I paid the taxi driver and got out of the taxi. I took a deep breath before entering the tall building in front of me.

Right when I enter the building, "Excuse me?" The receptionist called me out, I face my view to her and told her that I was informed to enter a meeting with Kenny. She asks for my name and I said it, she checks her computer then nods, "You're on the list, welcome", I smiled and thanked her before making my way to the meeting spot.

When I reached the floor of the meeting, I deeply inhaled then I slowly open the door of the room.

I peek through the door and saw Kenny, I felt relieved. I'm guessing no one's here yet, when I fully open the door then enter the room, my guess was wrong.

Aside from Kenny...I saw him.
