Ethan had a break in between scenes, and he couldn't stop thinking about Tricia. Their date the night before had been great; they clicked immediately and had so much fun. After he'd picked her up, he'd taken her to one of his favorite cafes with nice patio seating. They'd eaten good food and talked for hours.
He still couldn't get over how beautiful she was. Most girls look good on Instagram, and then when you see them in real life you can hardly recognize them. Tricia was model-level attractive, and she didn't need any filters. She was even gorgeous without any makeup on, as Ethan had discovered while looking through her posts. There was no question that Tricia was ideal physically; Ethan could hardly control his baser instincts when he saw her. What made him truly happy, though, was that she had a great personality. She was witty, bubbly, and had a great sense of humor.
Ethan sighed contentedly as he lie on the couch in his trailer, looking at some of the photos he'd taken last night. He wanted to share them; he wanted to brag to anyone and everyone that he'd been on a date with Tricia. He was hesitant, though, because fans might not handle it well. That didn't bother Ethan, who was used to it, but he didn't want to subject Tricia to the mean things they said.
He decided to call her, eager to see her again, if only through FaceTime. Though it had only been hours since he'd dropped her off last night, he already missed her.

"Good morning," Tricia smiled sleepily. She was still lying in bed, and the sight of her tangled in the sheets made Ethan want to join her.
"I didn't wake you, did I?" he grinned.
"No," Tricia replied, rubbing her eyes. "I was just looking at my phone. Not quite ready to get up yet, you know?"
Ethan laughed. "I don't know, because I had a five AM call time."
Tricia's eyes widened. "You didn't tell me that! I feel awful!"
"What? Why?" Ethan chuckled.
"You didn't drop me off until like midnight! I kept you out so late!" she frowned.
Ethan smiled. "I wanted you to keep me out. You're worth being tired the whole next day."
Tricia smiled back at him. "Are you on a break right now?"
"Uh huh," Ethan replied. "Don't worry- I'm alone. No one's going to give me shit for talking to you."
Tricia giggled. "They're funny. You all seem like real-life siblings."
"Oh we are, for sure," Ethan agreed with a grin. "Giving each other a hard time is just par for the course. We have a lot of fun. It's been nice growing up around all of them. I'm an only child."
"You are?" Tricia replied, rolling onto her side. She loved learning about him. They'd talked for hours last night, yet she couldn't get enough.
Ethan nodded. "Yeah. What about you?"
"I have a brother," Tricia replied.
Ethan sighed happily, just staring at her face.
"What?" she laughed.
"I don't think I'm ever going to get over how pretty you are," Ethan grinned.
Tricia blushed, turning her face to bury it in the pillow. "God, how are you so charming?"
Ethan smirked. "I'm just unfiltered. At least, around you I am."
She laughed, and smiled back at him silently. He wasn't the only one enjoying the view.
"Hey," Ethan suddenly thought, "would you let me post a picture of us?" It was worth a try.
Tricia couldn't hide the little grin that crept across her face. The thought of him wanting people to know he'd been out with her made her happy. However, she wasn't sure she could handle all the nasty things some of Ethan's fangirls would say. "Eth-"
"I'll disable the comments if you want," Ethan suggested.
Tricia rolled her eyes with a grin. "Why do you want to post so bad?"
"Because I'm happy," Ethan replied honestly. "You make me happy."
Tricia's smile got bigger, and she looked down shyly. "You make me happy, too."
"Ethan!" came a girl's voice, and Tricia saw Ethan look up at its source.
"It's Emma," he sighed, disappointed that this probably meant he had to go.
"Oh, that's okay," Tricia smiled.
"Oh my God, is that her?" Emma gasped excitedly off screen. Suddenly, she appeared next to Ethan, a huge grin on her face. "Ahh! Hi, Tricia!"
"Hi, Emma," Tricia laughed.
"Dude, get out of here," Ethan playfully shoved his onscreen sister, making Tricia giggle.
"They're ready for you again, bro," Emma replied.
Ethan sighed, turning to look at Tricia apologetically.
"Go!" Tricia laughed. "I have to get up, anyway. I probably look crazy."
"Crazy hot," Ethan flirted.
"Ew, come on, E!" Emma groaned, getting up to head back.
"Will you think about what I said?" Ethan asked Tricia.
Tricia sighed. "Alright. Go ahead." What the hell, right? She did really like him.
Ethan flashed his brilliant smile. "Awesome. I'll talk to you later, beautiful."
