Riley was stretched out in the bed sitting in the middle of the set. The sheet was pulled tight around her, keeping her body covered. The lanky man that was lying next to her was sitting up, flipping through the script. He looked up and started talking to the director, Riley just watched him. They had been working on this movie together for several weeks and each day that went by, Riley found herself falling for him just a little bit more. Scenes, like the one they were about to film, were secretly her favorite. She stared up at the bright lights overhead, trying to ignore the clamoring around her. She was tired, they had been working on this scene for several hours and they only had one quick bit left to shoot and they'd finally be done for the day.
She felt movement next to her and she glanced over as her co-star settled down in the bed. He was stretched out on his back, the sheets low on his hips. Riley couldn't keep herself from admiring his bare chest.
The director yelled 'places on set' and Riley's head hit the pillow, her eyes closed. 'Action' echoed throughout the space and her eyes opened. She had quickly fallen into character, her lines and movements running through her mind. She stretched and yawned, rising up on her elbow as she turned to face her sleeping companion. Her fingers twitched as she reached out, the tips lightly brushing the bare skin of his abdomen. They traced a pattern upwards, reaching his chest. She placed her hand, palm down at the base of his ribcage. Her breathing hitched and she held her breath as she felt his heart beat beneath her hand. She scooted closer to him, resting her head gently on his shoulder.
"Good morning beautiful," His voice husky from sleep.
She turned her head, kissing his shoulder, "If every night is going to be like that, I think I might have to spend more time over here."
He chuckled, "Would you like some breakfast?"
"Of course, but I think you need to let me help you."
He slid his legs over the side of the bed, pulling on a pair of pajama pants, standing up and tying the drawstrings. He reached for her hands, pulling her up from the bed, the sheet coming with her. Once she was on her feet, his arms were around her, pulling her flush against his body. He kissed her, deeply and with a lot of passion. He pulled way, lightly kissing the tip of her nose. "I'll see you downstairs."
She watched him walk out of the bedroom, shutting the door behind him and took a deep breath.
The director yelled 'cut' and 'that's a wrap' and Riley padded over to wardrobe so she could pull on some real clothes. As she was pulling on a pair of jeans, he popped his head into the room.
"Are you decent?"
"Matthew, you've seen me naked, there is no need for the modesty."
"Yes, well that was when we were acting and there is always a need for modesty around a beautiful woman." His smile was stunning, "I just wanted to tell you that you did a great job today. Filming these types of scenes can be difficult at best but for your first go around, you did amazing."
Riley blushed, he cheeks flaming up. "Thanks Matthew, you made it really easy and comfortable."
He stepped into the room, slinging an arm over her shoulder. He turned and kissed the top of her head, "See you bright and early in the morning, my lovely friend." He turned and walked out the door, as quickly as he had walked in.
She couldn't breathe. Yes, she was very much falling in love with Matthew Gray Gubler.
"What do you mean by you're in love with Matthew Gubler?" Emma cocked her head, scrutinizing her best friend.
