Chapter 41

On Monday Riker and I reported early on set at 6 o'clock and didn't leave until 7 that night. Riker and I took turns driving since we were both equally tired. "So you makin dinner?" I almost slurred out as Riker and I switched seats. I flopped into the passenger seat and buckled up, taking a few tries to actually buckle it. I slumped against the seat and almost fell alseep. "Well how about we have Ratliff drive out and get something for all of us. The longer we drive the more dangerous it gets." Riker said half jokingly. I smile weakly at him and began to doze off.

Riker carried me into the house and laid me on the couch, sending everyone else to get food so we could nap. "It's a good thing this is the last week of filming or I would not be able to make through." I mumbled, Riker groaned a half asleep response. I smiled and fell asleep against his warm side.

"Emily wake up." Riker whispered. I peeked open an eye and the light streaming into the room seemed different then before. "It's morning, you need to get ready for filming." Riker said, helping me up so I could wake up quicker. "Okay...okay..." I mumbled as I trudged upstairs, I changed and sort of brushed my hair. It's really hair and makeups problem what I looked like this morning so is didn't really do anything to fix myself up.

I came back downstairs and Riker smirked at me. "Oh there's the belle of the ball." He chuckled, I swiped the coffee he was holding from him. "Well now I have your coffee." I took a sip and immediately began to buzz with energy, only a little but it was enough to make me more awake then the dead so that's good.

"Thank god we aren't doing the songs today. I don't think I have that much energy in me." I sighed, hopping in the passenger seat. Riker drove first to Starbucks to get himself a replacement coffee and me a second one so I could actually function enough to do lines properly. I sighed as the warm coffee woke me and I drank in the glorious smell of fresh pressed beans. Riker seemed to find this all unnecessary when it came to enjoying coffee, judging by his long exaggerated eye roll.

We pulled into the parking lot and I groaned. "Please let today go better!" I said before getting out of the car.
