It was the last day of shooting in Venice, before you have a rare and luxurious week off, then jetting to Egypt to start filming there. You felt somewhat sad and humble about leaving here. The weather was lovely, and the locals were all very friendly. So, I guess today was going to be interesting to say the least... with a range of emotions.

As you walk on set you give Katie a quick text.

Text message Y/N: Hiya, my Plane lands in Gatwick at 5pm tomorrow... shall I come see you before I head back home for the week? xx

Katie: OMG! Y/N you have made my day! Sophia and I were ging to go clubbing tomorrow. Pretty please come out with us! You can stay in my spare room for the night. It will be fun, and you can fill us in on everything. X

You questioned it for a minute... but you had been working so hard that you hadn't been out in ages, let alone with your friends. Why the hell not.

Y/N: yeah, I'm down for it... are you sure it's no trouble, letting me stay?

Katie: Of course not silly!!! Can't wait. I'll pick you up from the airport!

A feeling of happiness overcame you. The fact you get to see your friends and family for a week ultimately feels appealing.

The day came and went pretty fast... and soon enough we all found ourselves hovered around the set for the last scene to be shot here in this glorious little place that felt like haven on earth. You took in every detail... as the palm trees swayed blissfully side to side in the warm breeze... to the hustle and bustle of the production team and make up artists being on set making sure everything was perfect.

People scurried off the set, leaving Tom and Bentley standing there on set alone.

"For the last time in Venice... Action!"

It was an eerily silence for a while before the two boys started acting their heartfelt bromance scene. Tom's character had almost died, and you can see the boys well up with love and emotion for each other as they are the only family each of them have.

I get lost and stay invested in the scene, taking in every last bit.

Max stands up, looks at the camera, to double check it doesn't need reshooting and yells "Cut, that's a wrap guys... fantastic work."

Everyone starts applauding.

But there is no minute to waste as crews and production come in and start to destroy the set, eager to return home.

I said goodbye to Max and thanked him for his efforts. I went round the cast and made small conversation and wished everyone a nice little break and how we would all see each other in a weeks' time.

I walked to my locker and grabbed my stuff from inside. As I was about to walk outside Tom stepped in.

"Leaving without saying goodbye to me?" he looked almost disappointed... putting on his best puppy dog eyes as he leans against the doorway, arms crossed, biceps begging to be ripped out of the tight grey shirt he was wearing.

"of course not, I was just going to swing by your trailer... you left the set pretty abruptly."

"Yeah... you would have had no luck with that, because my trailer is already gone... on its way to be shipped to Egypt... first class of course" We both started laughing.

"I'm sorry I bailed on dinner last week."

Wow we had been that busy we hadn't had a moment to talk about that. It seems quite stupid now.

"Nah it's okay... I understand, a hot girl asks you out on a date and of course you are going to pick her over dinner with your assistant and Haz." You chuckle, but deep down your heart ached slightly.

It had been all over social media that Tom was spotted on a date with a 'mystery girl' on the same night. I was a little angry at first... but it is Tom at the end of the day, I don't expect much from him.

"Hmm, well. Erm, you have a lovely week off Y/N. You have been a star, a-and you deserve it."

We both smiled sheepishly. I couldn't believe the compliment and he probably couldn't believe he was saying it either. Tom shifted from his position and started to open his arms out... I tensed not knowing what to do. We had never hugged before. This was defiantly past our professional relationship. I sightly opened my arms and felt his warm embracing body surrounding mine. It felt nice being so close to him, for a second, I could feel his heart thumping inside his chest.

We hugged for about two seconds before awkwardly stepping back.

Maybe... just maybe things were starting to look up.
