I nervously shifted in my seat watching the waitress leaving after we had ordered food. We had gone to some restaurant I had never been to before, but Bob had picked this one telling me that they had there the best food.
I didn't even know properly what I had ordered because I was a little too nervous to think about what I was reading. But since I was starving I couldn't care less.

As an awkward silence surrounded us I started doubting if this dinner was a good idea after all. I was looking everywhere but at him thinking about the best way to start a conversation but he beat me to it once he spoke up.

"So," he coughed catching my attention, "how was your first day as an actor?"

"It was great," I genuinely smiled relaxing a little, "In fact I was surprised by myself how easily it went. I thought that it would be harder for me to get into it."

"You should be proud of yourself," he rested his elbows on the table sending me a reassuring smile,"from what I have seen, you did great."

"Thank you," I smiled looking down as I felt my cheeks heat and then looked back at him, "I just hope other people will see it the same way. I fell in love with my character just from reading the script so I would love to play Y/C/N as long as possible."

"Yeah, it seems to be really interesting character," he nodded not breaking the eye contact with me.

"And it looks like we will have a lot scenes together," I pointed out hoping to find out how he felt about it.

"I know," he nodded, the corner of his lips twitching up, "Is that good or bad?"

"I hope good," I immediately responded surprising myself, "Even though I must admit that I was a little, or rather a lot nervous during our scene today."

"Tell me about that," he laughed making me stare at him confusedly so he explained, "I was also really uneasy because I had no idea how I should act towards you after you know that our encounter."

"Yeah," I looked away from him tensing at the mention of that night, "But we are all good, right?"

"Of course, we are all good," our conversation was interrupted by the waitress who brought us our drinks.

"Thanks," I mumbled sipping from my coke.

"Thank you," Bob nodded at her and once she left he turned to me again.

"So I was wondering if you guys prank each other on set," I clapped my hands leaning back.

"Not really," he shook his head disappointing me a little, "I guess we are just took tired for it."

"Well," I put on evil grin, "I think it's time to change it."

"Oh, don't tell me you are a troublemaker," he smirked raising his eyebrow.

"Not really," I shrugged smiling innocently, "I just love pranking people."

"Good to know," he looked much more relaxed than before, "I think I should rather try to stay on your good side then."

"The food was amazing," I exclaimed licking my lips as we stood up from the table, "Thank you."

"You are welcome," he helped me with my jacket, "It's good to know that you are not one of those girls who pretend that they don't need to eat."

"Duh," I wrinkled my nose at that, "I love food."

"Then I am sure we will get along really well," he chuckled opening the door for me.

"I must say that I really enjoyed today," I smiled at him as I stepped outside.

"Then we should definitely repeat it," he smirked agreeing with pleased expression on his face.

And we did. Since that day it had become our habit to eat together every day. Whether it was a breakfast before we would go to work together, some fast-food lunch in between the takes or late dinner after a long day of shooting, we always found time for each other.

Eventually it was more than just a food and we started spending more and more time together. We would always seem to seek the presence of the other one whenever was possible. I was no longer nervous around him and I enjoyed all those times I was with him.

We had become good friends and I had never felt so close with anyone before. I had to admit it felt amazing to have someone like him. Someone whom I wasn't afraid to trust and someone who was there for me whenever I needed it.

I had a feeling as if we had known each other for ages. Slowly I got to know everything about him but I still couldn't find any his flaw. He seemed to be perfect. Somehow I knew that I would see him that way even if he wasn't.

We felt more comfortable around each other than we felt when we were alone and we helped each other every time it was required.
He was the first person I played my new album and who had ever seen me writing songs. And he trusted me with looking after his dog while he was gone. That dog seemed to miss him just as badly as I did and just in those times I became aware of how much important he was for me.

Right now I was at Bob's place which wasn't anything uncommon for us because I had probably spent there more time than at mine.
I was snuggled into a blanket on a couch with Bellamy sitting just a few inches from me, our shoulders slightly touching as we watched some movie.

Bob's fingers brushed against mine making goosebumps rise on my skin. Lately I had found myself wanting more and more to kiss him and feel his lips on mine again so things like that made my heart sped up. But I decided to rather ignore it because I didn't want to risk what we had.

"I was right," he spoke up out of nowhere making me turn towards him with furrowed eyebrows.

"Well, you happen to be right quite often so I am not really sure what you are talking about," I remarked making him chuckle.

"I am talking about you being someone worth knowing," he looked into my eyes grabbing my hand and slowly intertwining our fingers which caused my stomach fill with butterflies.

"For what it's worth I am happy that I know you, too," I smiled pushing away the nervousness that was slowly spreading all over my body.

Suddenly I became too much aware of how close we were. I felt his breath hitting my skin and just then realized that he was slowly leaning in. After a moment of hesitation I did same and sneaked my arms around his neck.

A second later his lips were on mine and suddenly I remembered our first kiss. It seemed just as same as this one and yet it was completely different.
Back then I had been drunk making out with someone I had just met, but now I was kissing the man I loved.

"Would it be too soon if I said that three-word phrase which describes how I feel about you?" He rested his forehead against mine making me gulp as I realized what he meant.

"I think that if you are sure about it then it's never too soon to say that," I answered with a smile on my lips, not wanting anything more than to hear those words.

"I have never been so sure about anything as I am about the fact that I love you," he firmly confessed without blinking making my smile widen even more.

"You won't believe it but I think that I love you too," I placed my hand on his cheek stroking it with my thumb.

"Just think?" He pulled away slightly with frown.

"Nah, I know it," I pecked his nose as I saw his eyes lit up, "But you know what I think? I think that the stars forced us to meet again because they knew we were each other's destiny."

"That's definitely true. You are the best thing that happened to me in my life," he gently brushed the hair away from my face admiring my face.

"Of course I am," I smirked leaning forward to connect our lips again.
