"Friends?" "Friends."

The cast met up once again at their next filming; where everyone just seemed to be out of the loop.

Derek Cathy rubbed her temples; seeing frustration on everyone's faces, "Let's take a 30 minute break; I think you all need it."

---

The only time Daniel & Liza were really seen together was during filming of a scene, when press was around, or when Liza clung on to him to annoy him and make Kathryn jealous.

But other than that, Daniel tried so hard to avoid her at all costs.

His mind was cleared; his feelings were clear. He liked Kathryn and Liza was no where to be seen in his heart; in that kind of way at least.

Daniel appreciated the fact that Alex was at a photoshoot that day and didn't attend their filming.

He saw Kathryn walking into the room where she always carried her paper work and Daniel followed.

"Hey," Daniel softly called out.

Kathryn turned around, smiling, "Hey, can I help you with something?"

Daniel coughed, "Can I talk to you for a bit?"

"Sure, come in." Kathryn waved her hands to let him in and closed the door, "What's up?"

He bit the inside of his cheek, staring at her for a bit too long. Why did you have to be so perfect?

"Daniel?" Kathryn waved her hands in front of his face; laughing, "What did you want to talk about?"

Daniel finally snapped out of his daze, scratching his neck; "About what I said at the presscon last weekend; you probably might've taken that the wrong way."

Kathryn pursed her lips, "You mean the "little sister" thing right?"

He nodded his head, "I know you and I aren't that close yet and you probably thought it was awkward for me to say something like that. But, I just want you to know that it's true. I wanna get to know you better and let you know if you need someone to take care of you; I'm here."

She smiled back at him, Looks like I am only a little sister to him.. "That's really sweet of you to say Daniel."

"And another thing," Daniel cut her off, "You don't need to speak formal to me." he chuckled, "I'm only one year older and I want you to be comfortable speaking to me because I would really like to be friends with you."

Kathryn couldn't help but cover her mouth as she smiled and looked at the floor, "Alex didn't tell you to do this, did he?"

Daniel felt as if she just stabbed him in the back bringing up Alex like that. He knew that she wasn't aware of his feelings for her; but it would've been nice to keep the conversation strictly about them.

"Of course not." Daniel tried to ease the tension off himself; "I just wish for us to be closer." Daniel, you sound like a desperate idiot right now; agh.

Kathryn held out her hand, smiling up at him, "Friends?"

Daniel shook her hand, agreeing to her pact, "Friends."

When their hands touched, it gave them both a warm feeling. A feeling of security and safeness; something they both longed for.
