[Mark's POV]

"Goodnight." I lean in to hug Avery, it was a really nice warm feeling. Without thinking I kissed her cheek and left the room. WHAT THE FUCK MARK?! YOU JUST KISSED HER!  I scream at myself in my head. Now she'll think you're crazy!  I walk back to my room in embarrassment and close the door. I sink into my sheets and hide from the world. What am I going to do about it tomorrow? What will she say?  I think and think until I finally fall asleep.

The next morning I get out of bed and head down to the living room. Matt, Ryan and Avery were all sitting watching cartoons.

"What are you guys? Children." I poke fun at them all.

"This is your favorite show Mark." Matt says. I pause.

"So?" I say defensively. "Scoot over." I sit next to Ryan and watch the TV.

"So," Avery started. "I've been looking at jobs, and I think I found one that will suit my needs." We all look at her and smile.

"Nice Avery!" Matt replies. "What job?"

"Well, there is an ad out for a commercial and I looked into it and thought I could try out for it." We all smile, but I had an even better idea.

"Great!" Ryan exclaimed. "Where are auditions held?" They chit chat about the audition while I leave the room to grab my phone. I call AJ.

"Hello?" AJ answers.

"Hey AJ," I start. "I have someone here that's been with us guys for a while, she sings amazingly."

"Keep talking." AJ is interested. I tell him about how she will audition for a commercial. "So she's into acting and singing?" He asks.

"Yes! and I thought that maybe I could bring her by your office while we shoot Resident Enis 2?" I ask eagerly awaiting is answer.

"Sure! Sounds great!" I cheer silently.

"Awesome!" I reply. "i have a hair appointment today to dye my hair blue so I might be a bit ok?"

"Alright, just make sure you pick up the wigs for you and Dodger ok?"

"Sure thing pal. See you later today." I hang up, and do a little happy dance then get dressed. My appointment was at 3 and I still need to take Avery to the audition. I get dressed and head downstairs to only Matt on the sofa. "Where's Avery?"

"She's getting ready," He replies still looking at the TV. "You taking her to the audition?"

"Yeah and I have a surprise for her today too after my hair appointment." Matt wiggles his eye brows at me.

"Oh?" He grins.

"Not in that way." I roll my eyes getting a water.

"Really because I heard about the kiss you gave her." He said in a mocking tone. I walk back.

"She told you?" I say embarrassed.

"Yes." He said looking back at the TV. I open my water and take a sip.

"Well," I say sheepish. "What did she say about it?" Matt grins laughing.

"Don't worry man, she was in shock but I think she enjoyed it." My stomach fluttered. She liked it? Did that mean she could possibly like me? I shake my thoughts. Snap out of it Mark! You too only just met, you can't possibly be having feelings for each other already. Could you?

"Ok," I hear Avery come down the steps. "I'm ready to go." She shifts through her bag a little. She looks back up at me. "You ready?"

"Yup." I stand and grab my keys. We both head out to the car waving goodbye to Matt, I see him mouth 'Get some' and I flip him off without Avery noticing. I start the car and type the address of the audtion in my phone. I look at Avery. "So," I begin. "I have a hair appointment after your audition," She laughs.

"Going to dye your hair back?" I laugh and shake my head.

"Actually I'm dying it blue." She laughs again.

"Blue suits you." she smiles. I blush faintly and put my eyes on the road.

"I, also have a surprise for you after my hair gets done." She looks at me and tilts her head a bit. "You my lady are going to watch me and my friends at Random Encounters film Resident Enis 2."

"What's that?" she asks.

"I'll show you the first one when we get to the salon." I park the car. "For now, we need to get your butt inside and audition!" She giggles and we exit the car. We enter the building where it was being held and see a man in a nice blazer with a clipboard.

"May I help you two?" he says politely.

"I'm here for the Progressive commercial auditions." She answers.

"Name please." The man looks at his clipboard.

"Avery Huffman." The man scans and finds it. He smiles and guides us to a waiting area with a couple other girls. We take a seat and wait until it's her turn to go in and audition, sadly I won't be able to watch but I'll be here for her when she gets out.

After a short while a woman wearing a red office uniform steps out.

"Avery Huffman?" She says in a raspy voice. Avery stands and the lady leads her into the room, she looks back at me and I give her a thumbs up mouthing 'Good Luck.' She smiles and mouths 'Thanks.'
I sit and  wait, I look at the time 2:30. This will hopefully be quick. Avery comes back out after a while. I stand.

"How did it go?" I ask.

"I will be notified if I get the part or not." She smiles. We head back out to the car and I start driving to Frenchy's Beauty Parlor. I park the car and we head inside. A woman at the front desk smiles. It was my hairdresser from last time, Lacy.

"Hey Mark!" She exclaims. "Welcome back, ready for your new hair?" I smile.

"Hell yea lets do it." We all laugh and Avery takes an empty chair next to where my hair will be done. I sit and Lacy starts looking at my hair.

"Hmm. I don't think we will need to bleach it again, the pink came out pretty clean." She runs her hands through my hair examining it. "Yup, we should be able to just apply the blue this time." She leaves and goes to mix the hair dye. A lady walks up to Avery and admires her hair.

"Oh my!" She says. "Who did your hair dye? It's amazing!" Avery giggles.

"It's actually natural." The woman is surprised.

"You are lucky to have such a gorgeous natural red." Avery smiles.

"Thank you." The woman leaves.

"You're hair is beautiful." I say. She blushed pretty hard then Lacy returns with the dye.

"Ready?" She says.

"Ready." I reply.
