"holland", Sarah cooed caressing my face "honey wake up", she spoke kissing my cheeks repeatedly 

"it's too early", I whispered 

"we have to go", Sarah tugged lightly at my arm 

"what are you talking about?", my eyes half opened at her words

"we have to go to work"

"we?", I rose my brows, lifting myself up onto one arm

"you said you would move with me, so let's get moving", She kissed me quickly before standing up "and I'm not leaving you here all day"

"you're just the sweetest thing you know", I giggled beginning to get dressed beside her

--

"yeah I know", I laughed sitting beside Sarah who was getting her makeup done

"are you decent?", Ryans voice called from the other side of the trailers door

"yeah", she giggled 

"we all good to be on set in about ten minutes?", Ryan asked checking his watch receiving a nod from the artists "perfect.. Sarah you don't mind if I steal holland away from you for a moment?"

"not at all", she nodded 

"ill see you on set princess", I squeezed her hand before following Ryan out the door "so what do you want to talk about?", I inquired as we walked 

"I thinking about you the other day"

"oh you were, were you?", I smirked 

"remember our high school days?", he laughed 

"oh how could I forget", I joined

"I can't stop thinking about how you used to sit in the library writing in that little book of yours every afternoon"

"yeah, I still have that book", I smiled at the memories 

"you were much an incredible writer"

"Ryan, can you cut the bullshit", I stopped walking to face him 

"one of our head writers left and I want you take the position", he spoke bluntly 

"are you fucking kidding me?", I scoffed 

"just think about it. You and me would be able to work together again, like we used to, and you would get to see Sarah everyday. You can travel around with us, come to the premieres. Holland it would be amazing", he rambled 

"Ryan I haven't written a thing in years, I-"

"holland you have one of the most brilliant mind in the entire world. You make speeches all the time, what's the difference?", he shrugged 

"there's a big difference between writing a graduation speech and writing a tv show", I looked at him with wide eyes 

"oh holland please, I miss working with you. I never see you because of your teaching and now that..", he stopped speaking, watching as my face dropped "holland I'm sorry. But this could be your new thing. The new thing that brings you passion. what do you say?"

"I'll have to talk to Sarah first", I chewed on my lip

"I need an answer by the end of week. But I'm not taking no for an answer", he smiled lopping his arm in mine, walking us back to the set

--

"Holland I can take off my own makeup", Sarah smiled gingerly as I sat in front of her, cleansing her face 

"I know, but you've had such a long day sweetheart", I replied concentrated 

"I usually work longer days than this"

"there you go", I kissed her forehead "beautiful"

Sarah smirked before changing into her sweats and Ugg-boots

"you know what this reminds me of?", I brought her into my arms 

"what?", she peered up at me lovingly 

"Romeo and Juliet.. you were wearing the exact same thing, you didn't have a bra on.. and I loved you, just as I do now", I squeezed her tightly, running my hands up and down her back 

"I love you holland", she whispered her arms wrapped around my torso 

"I love you sweetheart"

"thank you for moving with me"

"it's my pleasure"

--

"What were you and Ryan speaking about today?", Sarah asked walking out from her shower 

"he offered me a job as one of the head writers for the show, but I'm not going to take it.. I don't want to intrude on this part of your life", I rambled while reading 

"so let me get this straight", Sarah stopped, turning to me "you were offered the position to do something that you love everyday, while being with the person that you love everyday and you're going to say no?.. have you gone completely mad!", Sarah jumped on the bed next to me, her hair still wet, only a sweater and panties covering her body

"I don't want to intrude-", Sarah cut me off with her lips on mine

"please take it, it will mean the world to me.. we don't have to be apart, and you can make me say stupid shit, come on holland.. it will be incredible", Sarah spoke excitedly straddling my waist 

"you don't think we'll get sick of each other?", I caressed her thighs 

"I could never get sick of you", Sarah cupped my cheeks 

"excuse me for a moment", I picked up the phone dialling 

"holland what are you-"

"shhh.. hi, yes I will take the job", I spoke simply before hanging up

Sarah squealed wrapping her arms around my neck 

"oh this makes me so fucking happy", Sarah giggled 

"me too", I took a deep breath 

"it is something that you want to do right? I didn't just pressure you to take a job that you don't want?"

"no darling", I kissed her deeply "it feels right"

"oh my god holland", she got excited again, rolling us so I was on top of her "I love you so much"

"I love you my angel"

--

"I would like you all to make holland very welcome", Ryan introduced me around the room "so holland today we are brainstorming for the next season.. we'll spend a couple of minutes thinking before we all share, sound good?"

"perfect", I nodded

I felt safe.
