He had me feeling like a foolish teenager with a huge crush, as I walked into the hotel and to my room.

I just plumped myself on the bed, as my phone buzzed on my nightstand.

Chris texted me.

"I really had a nice time tonight. :-)"

I couldn't help but smile. I was so happy, that he was so honest.

Omg. I was so ridiculously in love with this man.

It almost scared me, because I had no idea where this was going. He still wasn't divorced and they had a child together, so maybe they would figure it out and get back together.

Before my thoughts went too far, I decided to text him.

"Me too.
Please, come and say goodbye before you leave tomorrow." I texted back to him.

Only a few minutes later he replied.

"I wouldn't leave, without saying goodbye. ;-)
See you tomorrow.
XX"

I placed my phone, back on the nightstand and curled up under the sheets, with a huge smirk on my face.

I was almost asleep when my phone buzzed again. It was another text from Chris.

"Are you asleep? I can't stop thinking about you." He texted, making my heart flutter.

"Almost. ;-) I'm thinking a lot about you too. ;-)" I texted back, not completely sure how to reply. I wasn't ready to tell him about my feelings yet.

I put the phone away and eventually drifted off to sleep.

The next day passed unbelievably. I didn't want it to end, because I didn't want Chris to leave and spend the weekend in LA.

This was bad. I already got too attached to him.

I made sure to stay close to set today, so I could watch him.
He was such a great actor, and the cast was an amazing team. I loved my work, and I felt so lucky that I was able to watch them work together.

We were going to film at the same location, next week, so I was staying at the same hotel over the weekend.

Chris just finished his last scene for today. I smiled warmly at him, as he turned his eyes towards me, as soon as they wrapped the scene.

I waited nervously for him, as he said goodbye to the others.
I used the time to write some notes and fill out some papers.

"Hey." Chris said softly as he walked up to me, making me look up from my papers. I gave him a warm smile before I placed my papers on the chair beside me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. He quickly returned the hug.

It was like none of us, knew what to say.

"I guess I'll see you on Monday then." I said insecurely, smiling at him.

"Yeah. We should definitely do something together, on Monday, after work."  He suggested.

"Sure." I said, trying to hide my excitement.

Suddenly Chris leaned over and placed a quick peck on my lips. I immediately checked if there was someone who noticed it.
There were still many people at the set, but Chris didn't seem to care.

"Goodbye Melissa." He whispered before he walked off. I felt so excited and happy at the same time.

I went back to filling the papers.

About a hour later I noticed someone walk into, the set, with a flower bucket.

Suddenly someone pointed towards me and the man with the flowers walked to me.

"Are you Melissa?" He asked.

"Yes?" I answered questioningly.

"This is for you." He said, before he gave me the flowers and left.

I looked at the small card attached, to the roses.

"See you soon.
XX Chris."
