Jake POV:

Team 10 comes with a lot of amazing people, but the one who stands out the most, is Erika. Erika Costell is someone very special, someone who is definitely going to have a bright future, that hopefully I become a part of.

*Erika walks out of her room and heads for the kitchen*

She's absolutely stunning.

Erika POV:

"Good Morning, Jake!" His messy hair in the morning looks fantastic. "How'd you sleep?"

Jake POV:
*gulps* "Morning, Erika. I could've slept better..." she continues to walk to the kitchen as I'm nonchalantly checking her out.

Erika POV:
Did he just turn that into something sexual, was he saying he could've slept better with me? Maybe I'm overthinking. "I was thinking maybe we could do something together today" I smiled with my back towards him "I mean all of us not just you and I because that would be weird.." I blushed hoping he didn't get the wrong idea. I began making breakfast

Jake POV:
I grinned, I actually would have rather spent the day with her, just her. "I'd love to do something with you, but I've got a bunch of work to do, I need to go to set, memorize my script finish my filming my last episode of Bizaardvark". I sigh in disappointment, she really looked forward to doing something today as a group. Maybe I should invite her to set, then she could see Ethan. She begins to respond but I cut her off "Would you want to come to set with me? I could use the company" I blushed because I realized I sounded anxious.

Erika POV:
He asked me to go to set, finally. It's what I've been waiting for. I put my breakfast away "I'd love to go to set with you" after saying that, I realized I was very excited. He seemed pretty nervous too. I went to my room to get ready and began to get dressed when he walked in on me, luckily I only had my shirt off

Jake POV:
I walked to Erika's room, I had to give her a pass so she could join me. I should have knocked but I thought it would be okay. Erika's shirt was off, she was wearing a bra. I could see her toned skin, she's in such good shape. "I'm so sorry, but you look really cute" I've never had the guts to compliment her in a serious matter. I never had the chance to do it without my friends being there and joking around.

Erika POV:
I blushed but it was okay, I wasn't uncomfortable with him there. He makes me feel even more comfortable. "T-Thanks" I stuttered and smiled at him. He came closer to me, I didn't know what he was going to do but he got somewhat close. He was two feet away and I was so nervous for his next move.

Jake POV:
I walked towards her as if nothing had happened, I reached to give her the pass and our faces got close. I could hear her breathing heavy, I had no clue what was going on. But she looked hot, she knew it too. "I'll let you get ready, sorry again" and then I walked out and closed the door. I stood there for a minute hoping she would chase after me but she didn't, what just happened?

Erika POV:
I should've kissed him right when he got close. I should have made the move, I backed out again! Now I need to make sure I look extra good today. I put a sexy but simple casual red dress on and began to curl my hair. I began to do my makeup and then Tessa walked in. "Hey T!" I was a bit startled.

Tessa POV:
"So what was that with Jake, when he walked out of your room earlier he looked so confused". Right when I said the name Jake, I noticed Erika began to tense up.

Erika POV:
"He walked in on me as I took my shirt off, he definitely didn't look away but he seemed nervous. And honestly I wasn't even bothered by it, I liked it and he even said I looked cute." I looked at Tessa to see her reaction, she had a big smile.

Tessa POV:
"Jerika!" Erika began to shush me, but it's something all of Team 10 has been waiting to happen for a while. "It's about time something happened between you two that went beyond the definition of friends, you're both into each other. Spend time with him on set today, get him to make a move. Make him drool over you!"
I said as I walked out of the room.

Erika POV:
Tessa is right. There has always been something different between me and Jake, there has been some form of tension between us for the past few months. Something has to change. I walked over to Jake's truck and began to put my bags in when he came up behind me.

Jake POV:
I see Erika from a distance, she's wearing that sexy red dress. It makes her so irresistible. Today is the day I'm going to make a move. I have to, if I don't today I may never be able to. I put my bags down and started running up to her, I tickled her hips. "Excited to see me work?" I smiled with pleasure, she seemed to not be bothered by me touching her. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I began to sweat from nerves, she makes me the good kind of nervous.

Erika POV:
I laughed as he tickled me and said "Of course I'm excited, I get to see a completely different side of you". As he began to get in the car I could see his muscles flex, it was so hot. I looked away before he could notice, and I got in the car. Instead of putting his hand on the stick shift he put it on my leg by 'accident' and it felt good before he immediately removed it.

Jake POV:
I put my hand on Erika's leg before I realized it was a big mistake, I immediately put my hand on the stick shift and opened my mouth "I'm sorry I should really pay attention to what I'm doing" as I looked deep into her eyes. She just smiled and looked away. Maybe it wasn't such a bad move, she didn't freak out. I turned some music on and we sang along and then finally arrived to set. I ran around to the other side of the car and opened the door for her. I try to be a gentleman as much as possible, she held my hand as she was getting out of the car. Her hand perfectly fit into mine, I couldn't imagine holding anyone else's.

Erika POV:
Jake has been really sweet to me lately, he just opened the door for me, I used that as an opportunity to hold his hand when I got out. I then moved my arm around his waist as we walked in. I could feel him flexing, it felt really good. He brought me to his dressing room, it was all decorated with photos of him from a few years ago. He looked good even back then. I went and I sat on his couch with him and he showed me funny videos.

Jake POV:
Maybe the couch being small is convenient for a change, there isn't any space between Erika and I. I began showing her funny videos because I love seeing her laugh. I love it even more when it's me making her laugh. She looked adorable. She put her hand on my leg and I didn't react, because I didn't want it to move. Tessa had Facetimed her so we talked to her for a bit. Tessa was very focused on how Erika was doing. I finally said "Erika is doing great, we'll see you at home, Tessa". At this time I wanted Erika all to myself. I smiled at Erika and I put my hand on hers, the one that was on my leg. I lifted my other hand and moved her hair back as I caressed her cheek.

Erika POV:
Jake and I were laughing a lot together. I decided to put my hand on his leg. First step to the first move. He didn't flinch. After Tessa had called I felt more comfortable with Jake. He put his hand on mine and touched my cheek. He's beating me to the first move. I leaned in and put my lips on his, after one kiss I wanted more. I kissed him for another 10 seconds and I backed my head away and we just looked at each other.

Jake POV:
We kissed. We finally kissed. We both kissed each other, I didn't have to do all the work. She wanted t kiss me too! The kisses turned passionate and then she backed her head away. I looked into her big beautiful eyes, I locked mine onto hers and I never wanted that lock to break, but Ethan walked in.
