Melwood- Falling in Love Behind the Cameras

Love in his eyes

Melissa POV

In my trailer, I am scrambling, searching for my script I must have misplaced when I hear a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I call out.

"It's me, with ice cream might I add!" Chyler shouts through the door.

I tell her to come in and she sits down onto the couch. I give up searching and sit down next to her. She hands me a spoon and the tub of ice cream. "Whatcha doing?" she asks. I shove my spoon into the ice cream carton.

"Well, I've been debating whether it's time to get back out there--you know, in the dating world. It's been a couple months since Blake and I split up, and I think I should try again." I say before taking in a mouthful of the ice cream. She smiles,

"You know who would be really happy if you decided to get back out there?"

"Who...?" I ask with suspicion.

"Chris! He is obviously into you!" She laughs

"Chyler, no!" I laugh with her, "Maybe in another universe, but in this one, Chris is definitely not into me." I look down at the carton of ice cream.

"Melissa, you are ridiculous! He likes you so much everyone sees it. I mean, you could tell by his eyes." Chyler tells me.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"C'mon! He stares at you so much, and I think I've seen even him tear up once" she says as a matter of factly.

"Haha, Chyler, very funny," I say

"Well even besides that, he is always trying to make you laugh, and he looks at you like he wants to swoop you off your feet"

I look down as I scoop another spoonful of ice cream. Does Chris really like me? After Blake, I don't know if I want to risk getting my heart broken. Then I think of Chris's eyes, and his perfect face, and I smile. How could someone so perfect like me?

"I don't know about that, Chyler," I reply.

Chris's POV

I start walking back to my trailer when I see Melissa's script lying on her director's chair. I pick it up and rub my thumb over her name thinking of her beautiful smile. Is this my chance? Maybe I can ask her out when I give it back to her? I stand there for a couple seconds, and Jeremy walks up to me. "Hey, Chris, do you want to get something to eat?" He asks.

"Sure I just need to return this to Melissa," I reply.

Jeremy laughs a little, "Oh! Don't let me get in the way!"

"What do you mean?" I was confused.

"Dude, it's so clear that you like her! This is your window, man!" He exclaims.

"What?! How do you know?"

"Chris, everyone knows, it's so obvious, just by the way you look at her, and plus she like you back," Jeremy says.

"She likes me back? There's no way, Jer" I tell him.

"Of course she does! She laughs at all of your jokes, even the ones that really aren't funny," He pats me on the shoulder and starts walking away, "Go get the girl!"

I look back down at the script and start walking again. Does she really like me? Is that even a possibility for someone so amazing as Melissa to like me? Maybe I have a chance. After walking, I look up after staring at her name on the cover, and find myself at her trailer door.
