Accidents Happen

Chapter 19

(Ricky's P.O.V)
Skylar and I walk hand in hand down the side walk to get to my set.
"Are you nervous?" She asks curiously, looking up at me.
"No." I say sarcastically, making her smile.
"Honestly, I'm terrified." I admit, looking ahead of us.
"Don't be. You're an amazing actor. Trust me, you'll do fine." She assures me, my smile returning.
"Promise?" I ask looking back down at her.
"Pinkie promise." She smiles, holding her pinkie up. I chuckle and hook my pinkie with hers and kissing her forehead lightly.
"What time is it?" She asks curiously, swinging our hands.
"It's 4:40pm." I say, checking my phone.
"Already?" She asks, making me nod.
"It doesn't take long. Especially with our lives. We're always on the move." I smile, seeing her silently agree.
"I just didn't realize my shoot took that long." She says, laying her head on my shoulder.
"Tired?" I ask her, seeing her nod.
"I'm exhausted. The neighbors dog won't stop barking, and to top all of that off, my parents keep arguing." She says sighing.
"I would offer for you to come stay with me for a while, but you'd have to deal with Emery." I chuckle, making her shrug.
"At least I could force him to shut up." She giggles, making me smile.
"I'd love for you to stay with me, but I don't trust Emery." I admit, making her nod.
"I understand, maybe I can stay one night. Like over the weekend or something. We could have a movie night, Liam could invite some friends and so could Emery." She says, suddenly seeming excited about it.
"True, maybe we'll do that this weekend." I smile, making her nod quickly.
"How much further?" She whines, making me chuckle softly.
"Just a little longer. Want me to carry you?" I ask smiling.
"That's adorable, and sweet, but I'm in a dress. So no. Thank you though." She giggles, wrapping both of her arms around my waist, side hugging me. I smile and put my hand on her hip, hugging her back as tightly as I can.
"I say we get food after you get done." She says, looking up at me.
"I'm down." I smile, seeing a similar smile appear on her face.
"Actually, you're up." She says smiling at me.
"Ha ha, very funny." I chuckle, making her giggle again. We finally get to my set and we go inside, the nerves suddenly hitting me.
"You got this. If you can ace the audition, you've got this." Skylar tells me, giving me a much needed hug.
"Thanks. Are you staying for the entire shoot?" I ask curiously.
"I will. If you want me too." She smiles up at me.
"It'd make me feel better." I admit, looking at her.
"Then I'll stay." She smiles, pecking my lips gently.
"Good." I smile, leaning in again.
"Ricky?" Someone asks me.
"Yeah, that's me?" I say, slowly letting go of Skylar, grabbing her hand.
"Great! Follow me to makeup, please." She says a little too cheerfully. I follow her, Skylar walking close behind me down a long hallway. I sit in the chair and Skylar sits on the couch, talking to the stylist like she had known her forever.
"You're working on a movie right?" Amanda, the stylist asks Skylar.
"Yeah. I'm down on lot 4." Skylar says, making her nod.
"What's the movie called?" Amanda asks, starting on my hair.
"Almost Got Away With It." Skylar says, looking at me. I smile at her, her smile mirroring mine.
"Okay, off to wardrobe you go. Skylar can stay here." Amanda says to us.
"I'll be back as Naldo." I smile, making Skylar laugh.
"Alright, Naldo." She giggles, making me smile as I walk down the hall to wardrobe.

(Skylar's P.O.V)
I stay in the makeup room, talking to Amanda about my movie while I wait for Ricky to come back.
"So you two are together right?" Amanda asks me.
"Yeah, for about two weeks now." I smile, thinking about the last two weeks.
"You make a very cute couple." Amanda smiles at me.
"Thanks." I blush slightly, looking at the ground.
"I'm back!" Ricky says happily, throwing his hands up in the air. I look at him and we both laugh.
"Well aren't you adorable?" I smile, looking at his outfit.
"Right!" He smiles, spinning in a circle.
"You know, Naldo, there's something missing to your look." I smile, finding a hat and walking over to him, putting it on his head.
"Really? A hat?" He chuckles, looking at me.
"Yes! A hat. Hat boy Naldo." I giggle, making him smile.
"Love the hat, nice touch." The director says, coming into the room.
"See, told you." I giggle, poking Ricky's chest gently.
"Yeah, yeah." He smiles, grabbing my hands, making me giggle again.
"Let's go on out to set." The director says, leading Ricky and I out the door and down the hall.
"Break a leg, babe." I smile at Ricky, kissing his cheek gently.
"Thanks, I love you." He says softly, his tone becoming serious.
"I love you too." I smile, pecking his lips gently before walking over to a chair beside the director's.
"Have a seat." He smiles at me, patting the chair. I sit in the chair and watch Ricky introduce himself to the rest of the cast. I smile to myself, putting my phone on silent and in my pocket.
"Alright, here we go, quiet on the set. Roll camera. Action!" The director says loudly. I watch as Shelby struggles to get Cyd out of bed. I giggle quietly as Naldo and Barry talk about the laser.
"I, can't remember my line." Ricky sings laughing, making everyone else laugh.
"Cut!" The director says, while fighting off a fit of laughter. Once everyone has finally calmed down, the director returns to his chair, holding the script in his hands.
"Take 2, scene 3. Action!" He says, the cameras rolling again. I watch silently as Ricky finishes his scenes, only messing up twice. But let's face it, who can keep a straight face reading a script like this?
