Chris POV:

Today, a longer scene is being filmed again. Today it was Sarah's turn to make up for the given scene. I thought Brooklyn was off today or coming to work later. I was honestly saddened that I couldn't see that charming smile of her in the morning. I don't know how we are since last night. I feel more and more that she is also opening up to me and I hope that I will slowly get her to trust me enough to give us a chance.

The very first shot is very rarely good, the director always notices things about the background, lighting, and technique that can improve the quality, so the first shot can always be considered a test. But in this case, the usual clothes are adjusted, in some cases they are changed, hair is adjusted. In this case, since we are filming an action scene, and according to the script, my stomach wall is injured by a knife, so the option of changing clothes comes into effect. I'm not the shy type, so I bravely took off my top to replace it with the new one. However, I also caught a glimpse of her. Namely, her most beautiful daughter. The smile I missed so much is now here facing me and looking at me.

- Wow, that's the kneaded belly. - she said to me smiling as I approached her to fix my makeup.

- Do you like it? Yours can only cost you one word. - I sat down in the chair.

- Chirs! - she said to me as she looked around to see if anyone had heard my earlier statement.

- What is it? I didn't hide the fact that I like you until now, and I won't after this. In fact, I hope you will slowly admit that you like me. - I told her and with a smile and a roll of the eyes, I understood the answer. Not yet. But I succesfully embarrassed her. I love when she blushes. So sweet. - What are you doing tonight? - I asked as I tried to catch her gaze with my eyes.

- If I say I have a date? - she asked while looking into my eyes. Date? With whom? I mean, of course, we live in a free country, she can date whoever she want, but I still got nervous.

- Is that the doctor? - I asked, hoping she would say "no Chris, I just pumped you".

- ...! - she didn't answer.

- And you go with him? - I asked scared.

- Chris I...

- Are you go with him? - I asked more firmly. But she didn't have to answer. - So you give him a chance, but not us? - I was upset.

I honestly didn't want to listen anymore, so I left. That day I was completely out of the mood for everything. The scene didn't turn out the way I wanted either. I felt that I had disappointed both myself and the director. But I couldn't get it out of my head that today the girl for whom my heart beats so violently might choose someone else. And this man will make her happy. I entered the apartment with these thoughts in mind. Everything was different now. I would love to do other programs at home as well, but now I didn't feel like doing anything. It was evening and my thoughts were more and more focused on what they could do now, when the doorbell rang. As I opened it, I saw her iris blue eyes.

- Brooklyn, what are you doing here? - I asked her.

- Because of the date. - answered.

- Oh, if you're looking for that doctor here, you've belled the wrong house! - I was nervous, are you seriously doing this directly to me? I wanted to close the door but she called my name.

- Chris. - I sighed, I had to calm myself down quickly. I don't want to hurt him, but the thought makes me cringer.

- Say.

- Don't you...don't you want to go somewhere for dinner?

- Did the doctor cancel the appointment? Brooklyn, I don't really understand what the hell we're doing right now!

She didn't answer. Not with words. However, she moved closer and hugged me tightly. That was her first step towards me. Up until now, I have always opened up to her, but now she has overtaken me.

- Brooklyn... - I was scared. Did someone hurt her because this strong woman broke righ here in front of my eyes? - Hey Brooklyn. - I tried to look into her eyes but she still hugged me tightly. I felt wetness on my t-shirt. She cried.

Without thinking, I hugged her to give her support. - Just cry. I'm covering you, no one can see you. - I caressed her hair while doing so. We stood like that for a few minutes and when I felt her release from the hug I looked into her eyes. I wiped the tears from her eyes, wiped them from her face. It broke my heart that I had to see her like this.

- Where should we go for dinner? To your favorite place? Or do I take you somewhere else? - I tried to cheer her up.

- Chris...

- Just say and I'll take you.

- ...I like you. - she said the word I thought I would never hear. - I like you so much.

As I looked into her eyes, I knew. She felt this way all along but was afraid to show it. I don't know where she got the courage to admit her feeling, but she did. And I was indescribebly happy.

- Brooklyn.. - I started but she interrupted me.

- I know I'm far from perfect...

I didn't want it to end.

- I have never seen a more perfect woman than you. - I interrupted her now.

- I understand if you don't want to try it yet... - I didn't want to hear this part at all. Since she admitted that she likes me and since my feelings are no different, I thought I would act. I took her face in my hands and kissed her gently. I didn't want to part with her. I was afraid that I would wake up and it would all just be a dream. But after we moved away from each other she was still standing in front of me. She smiled. This is reality...and this unconscious woman is finally mine.

- You know how to silence girls. - she smiled.

- Don't get me wrong, but you are the first girl I silenced like that. I closed the door in front of the others. - I laughed to myself as I thought about how differently I behave near Brooklyn, even though I've already had a relationship with a girl or two. And all in a good way.

- Could we stick with this option, you close the door on me instead?

- Come here. - I pulled her back to me as I reached for her lips again. She has an insanely sweet kiss. It's hard to get enough of it.

- It's time for me to go. - she whispered after we parted.

- No-no. - I pulled her closer by the waist. - What about our dinner?

- I just needed an excuse to have the courage to stand up to you. -she laughed to herself.

- I don't want you to leave. - I leaned my forehead against her. - Just stay a little longer, please. - she smiled as I asked.

- Can we go in then? It's getting cold.

Introducing her into the house, I threw together a quick dinner for the two of us. I tried to bide my time as much as possible so that she would stay by my side as long as possible. And it finally came together. Sitting on the couch with her head on my shoulder, she fall asleep. And I was incredibly happy because I knew we both finally got the happiness we were waiting for.
