NOT WHAT IT SEEMS

JACE

I am so relieved I finally got to tell Riele how I felt. I even got to kiss her. Just thinking about that brief kiss got me wanting more but there was one problem.

How do you kiss someone if that person has been avoiding you?

Not just me Sean too.

After each shoot she disappears to heaven knows where. I suspect Ella knows but she won't give. Am sure Riele told her what happened.

Never thought it possible to miss someone this much. My attempts to get a little close on set, sometimes holding her a little longer, sitting closer than required and 'accidentally' bumping her but she is always distant. I'm not giving up yet though.

"Jace! "

Cooper in his Captain man suit walked to me.

"Sup Cooper "

"Just finished my scene for the day. By the way, heard you and Sean are in a battle to the death to win Riele" he said sounding amused

My eyes roll at that. Typically everyone on set being their nosy selves.

"We agreed to fight for her not kill ourselves. Like fair and square? No tricks"

"How's that working out for ya?"

"Have you seen her around?" Trying  digressing.

"Well not that I want to cause a stir... " he began scratching his hair sheepishly.

"What? "

"Saw her talking with Sean on my way here".

"Thanks Cooper"

Cooper grabbed a hold of me.

"Wait Jace I think you should give them some privacy"

"Why would I do that?"

"Jeez Jace how would intruding be fair?"

He was right but gosh this was harder than I had thought. That's my best friend trying to get my other best friend- whom I have liked for a really long time without realising it- to be with him and am just expected to stand here whilst she's probably at this moment falling for his blonde charms.

You're a blonde too you know

Bite me.

In fact you're more blonde than he is.

Don't care.

But what if she doesn't let me come near her again this time.

"Jace you're sweating. I mean man am not even joking you're like really-" He cut off laughing.

"Cooper it's not even funny!"

"You'll say that. You're not the one standing here looking at you" He managed out between chuckles.

"Man you and Sean both caught some double dose of Riele fever "

Waiting has never been this nerve wracking. After some time he stopped.

"Help me Coop. What do I do?"

"Sorry kid" he said clapping me on the shoulder. "You're on your own in this one"

"Cooper!" I called out as he started taking backward strides.

"Look, if I help you it'll seem like am taking sides and I don't want to be that guy so am gonna go".

Whatever I tried saying was interrupted when a soft touch caught on my hand turned me round.

"Hey Jace "

I looked back skeptical that my mind was either mocking me or it was actually,

"Riele!" I pull her forward hugging her and was so happy when she hugged back.

When I pulled away Riele kissed me quickly on my lips making my eyes bulge and a stupid grin spread across my face.

"Not that am not enjoying the attention Riele but why did you do that?"

"I miss you"

She missed me!

"You did? "

"Yes and I've had some time to think about it. I think maybe I like you too- but I don't know so I want us to try together "

By the time she finished her cheeks were all red. She looked so beautiful blushing.

"But what about Sean"

She nodded. "We talked and he understands I kinda like you too so..... yeah"

With a smile and hugging her again."I missed you so much"

"After party "

"Yes..."

"Would you like to go with me?"

"Yea would love to" Smiling happily when I felt her smile on my shirt.
