(Ricky's P.O.V)
It's been a full week since Skylar's brother, Sebastian died, and none of us have been the same since. I didn't even know him but it still felt like he was a brother of my own. Yesterday was his funeral, and today, Skylar had to be back on set for her new movie. I walk up the front steps, ringing the doorbell and waiting for someone to answer.
"Ricky, hi, come on in." Her dad says as cheerfully as possible.
"Thank you." I nod, stepping inside and waiting for Skylar. She comes down the stairs in her usual outfit, jeans and a concert shirt, smiling slightly when she sees me.
"Hey babe." I smile at her, kissing her forehead lightly.
"Hi." She smiles softly, hugging me gently.
"Ready to go?" I ask her and she nods, getting her phone from the couch and saying goodbye to her parents. She comes back to me and I open the door, letting her go first, her hand grabbing mine. I smile and she looks at me, giving me the perfect opportunity to lean over and peck her lips gently. She gets all giggly and she hides her face in my shoulder, making me smile bigger.
"You don't need to be shy." I chuckle softly, opening her door.
"I don't mean to be. It just happens when I'm with you." She admits, getting in the front seat. I smile and shut her door, getting in the back as Claire pulls away from the curb, driving down the road.
"When do you start filming, Ricky?" Claire asks me, curiously.
"I think tonight. After Sky gets done on set. I told my director that I couldn't leave her." I respond, seeing Sky smile shyly.
"That was nice of you." Claire smiles at me, making me nod.
"Well, she's my girl and I'd do anything to see her happy." I admit, blushing slightly as I realize what I just said.
"Stop being cute." Skylar giggles, making me smile at her.
"Never." I smile, touching her shoulder gently.
"Do you guys want anything for lunch?" Claire asks curiously.
"I had a snack at home. What about you, babe?" I ask Skylar, bringing her from her thoughts.
"Uhh, I'm okay. I can get something after the shoot." She says and Claire nods, passing all the food places and continuing to Universal.
"What scene are you doing today?" I ask curiously.
"I think we're doing the scene where Danielle and her brother sneak out to go to a party. I really don't know. It's been a while." She laughs quietly.
"True. Still remember your lines?" I ask, leaning on my hand.
"It's like riding a bike. Once you learn, it's hard to forget." She says, which was an exact line from her script.
"Well, I think you'll be okay." I smile at her, Claire smiling at us.
"Okay, we're here. Break a leg." Claire says happily, stopping the car and unlocking the doors.
"Thanks. I'll call you when I'm done." Skylar says getting out and waiting for me. I get out and shut my door, putting my arm around her waist and walking with her into the building. We turn our phones off and I take hers, putting it in my pocket.
"Sky! Welcome back!" The director says happily to her.
"It's good to be back!" She smiles happily, that little spark in her eyes coming back to life. I smile to myself and she grabs my hand.
"Joe, Gabe, I want you guys to meet someone." She says happily, making them turn around and smile at us.
"This is my boyfriend, Ricky. Ricky, this is the director, Joe and the producer, Gabe." She says smiling.
"It's nice to meet you, Ricky. Are you an actor too?" Joe asks me curiously.
"I am, I just booked my first tv series this morning." I smile, Skylar smiling too.
"Congrats! What show?" Gabe asks me, making Skylar smile as she nudges me gently.
"Best Friends Whenever." I say, making him nod.
"I'm sure I'll be around that set!" Gabe says smiling.
"Skylar! Time for makeup!" A woman says cheerfully, walking over to Skylar.
"Yay!" Skylar says sarcastically, her smile vanishing when we walk away.
"Aww, don't pout." I smile, kissing the side of her head gently.
"Oh stop." She giggles, making me smile more.
"Nah uh." I smile, putting my arm around her.
"Yes." She giggles, grabbing my hand.
"No." I say, sticking my tongue out at her.
"Yes." She smiles, leaning her head against my shoulder.
"No." I smile, making her roll her eyes.
"Ye-." She starts to say, but I cut her off by pressing my lips to hers in a gentle kiss.
"C'mon, lovebirds." Someone says, forcing us to pull away.
"Mood kill." I mumble, making Skylar giggle.
"You'll be okay, baby." She smiles, ruffling my hair walking into the makeup room. I follow her and plop down the couch, watching as she walks over to a chair. She sits down and sticks her tongue out at me, making me smile as I do it back.
"What scene is today?" The same woman from earlier asks Skylar.
"Um I think the party one. But I don't know." Skylar answers to me.
"Let me go ask Joe real quick. Don't do anything sneaky." The woman says pointing at us.
"That's Heather, by the way." Skylar tells me, making me nod.
"I see." I smile, standing up and walking over to her.
"What are you doing?" She giggles, looking up at me.
"I, am not doing anything." I smile, putting my hands on the sides of her chair, making her giggle again.
"You sure look like you're up to something. I can see the gears in your head moving." She giggles, making me laugh.
"You're mean." I smile, pecking her lips gently.
"Oh well." She smiles, putting her arms around my neck loosely. I smile and kiss her nose, making her giggle again. I'm so in love with you.

(Skylar's P.O.V)
"You're mean." Ricky smiles, pecking my lips gently.
"Oh well." I smile, putting my arms around his neck loosely. He smiles and kisses my nose, making me giggle again.
"I love you." I say quietly, his smile growing bigger.
"I love you more." He says, leaning in and kissing me softly. I smile slightly and kiss him back, feeling his arms slowly wrap around my waist. We pull away and smile at each other like total idiots.
"So I was thinking we go on a real date tonight. What do you say?" Ricky smiles at me.
"I say, yes." I smile, kissing his cheek gently.
"Where are we gonna go?" I ask him curiously.
"That, my love, I can't say. It's a surprise and you'll just have to wait." He smiles, kissing my forehead and going back over to the couch, his sly smirk clear as he gets out his phone. Heather comes back in and looks at us.
"We never moved." Ricky lies, making me smile at him.
"Yeah, yeah. Okay, so Joe said you have to shoot the scene where you get accepted into college, and then tomorrow is the party scene." Heather tells me.
"Okay. I guess I can work with that." I smile at her.
"So we'll go light on makeup." Heather tells me, making me nod. She starts with a light colored eye shadow, then mascara, a little foundation, powder and a light pink lip gloss to finish it off.
"Okay, now for your hair. I think maybe we do a messy braid?" She says, clearly deep in thought.
"Sure." I say, looking at Ricky in the mirror. She starts on my hair and it only takes a few minutes for her to finish, putting just enough hair spray in it to hold it for the shoot.
"Alright. Off to wardrobe you go." She says, letting me out of the chair.
"Come on, Ricky." I smile at him, walking out the door and down the hall to wardrobe.

(Ricky's P.O.V)
"Skylar!" Another woman says happily to her.
"Hi, Kelly." She smiles, following her to the rack of clothes against the back wall. Kelly helps her pick out her set clothes and she looks at me, raising her eyebrows slightly.
"Okay, okay." I say, going into the hallway and shutting the door behind me.

(Skylar's P.O.V)
"Okay, okay." Ricky says, leaving the room and pulling the door shut behind him. I smile to myself and change into the sundress, pulling the small heeled shoes on to my feet, zipping the backs.
"This is weird." I say, tugging on the bottom of the dress.
"You'll be fine." Kelly says, fixing my hair.
"I know, I'm just not used to it." I giggle, following her over to the door. She opens it and I follow her down the hall, on to the set.
"Well, don't you look stunning." Joe smiles at me.
"Thanks." I smile, following Kelly outside.
"So what exactly are we doing?" I ask her, curiously.
"Well, some of this scene is outside." She explains, making me nod.
"Oh, okay, cool!" I say happily, following her over to a temporary set.
"Ah, our main lead is here! I need you at stage right." Joe says to me. I nod and take my place, remembering my lines. Spencer comes on to the set and smiles at me.
"Quiet on the set! Here we go, take one! Action!" Joe says to us.
"Dani! Wait up!" My set brother, Kian yells out to me.
"What is so important?" I ask looking over my shoulder at him.
"You may or may not have gotten this letter from that one college." He says handing it to me.
"Wait, did you read this?" I ask, adding a little bit of anger to my voice.
"Mom did! Trust me, I'd never go through your mail!" He says, holding his hands up innocently. I take the prop envelope from him and open it, looking at him right after I read it.
"I got it!" I say excitedly, reading over the paper again.
"Awesome! Celebratory ice cream?" He asks smiling.
"Uh, duh!" I say, walking with him down the sidewalk of the set.
"Hey, Kian." His set girlfriend, Amber calls out.
"Ew." I say as they kiss.
"Oh come on, you're just jealous." 'Kian' says, pushing my arm slightly.
"I am not. It's just gross." I say, scrunching up my nose and adjusting my backpack.
"You're just jealous." Amber says to me.
"I'm not jealous!" I snap at them, walking faster off camera.
"Cut! That was brilliant! Skylar, amazing as always!" Joe says happily from his chair.
"How'd I do?" I ask walking over to Ricky.
"You, my blue-eyed angel, were absolutely amazing!" He smiles, wrapping his arms around my waist tightly. I giggle and hug him, kissing his cheek gently.
"Sky, you're free to go but be back here at 9:00pm tonight." Joe says to me and I nod.
"But wait, aren't we supposed to have a date?" I ask looking up at Ricky.
"Don't worry, babe. We can always go out tomorrow night." He smiles at me, making me nod slowly.
"We can still hang out though right?" I ask him and he nods happily.
"Anything you want." He smiles, kissing my forehead softly. I don't know what I did to deserve you, Ricky.
