Small Town Boy

Chapter 9: Head in the clouds

"And cut! That's a wrap for scene 23"

I let out a sigh and run my fingers through my hair. Another scene done. Everyone claps and I smile as I join in on the small celebration. We still have a lot more to do. We're not even halfway through. I don't really mind though. It means I get to stay longer in Alabama with my friends and so far it's been a lot of fun.

Except my head is a little jumbled up right now. I have way too much on my mind that I find myself with a constant headache. If I'm not thinking about the lines I have to memorize, I'm thinking about the songs I have to write or the events I'll have to attend soon along with other places I have to be. My schedule is way too busy.

And then there's Uriah. He just popped out of the blue and now he's also on my mind. I stayed up last night rereading the conversation we had on Instagram. We were telling each other some jokes, well his were more flirty and pick up lines but I found them hilarious because they made me cringe since they were so bad. Anyways, every day he sends me a good morning text as well as a goodnight text. Both filled with sweet words that cause my cheeks to hurt from smiling so much and my heart to flutter and skip a beat. What am I going to do with him?

"Sabrina" I turn around to find the person calling me and smile when I see our movie producer. "Could I maybe have a word with you?" He asks hopefully. "Of course" I agree.

We move away from the others since they are being a little too loud for us to have a conversation. I stop in front of him and wait for him to start talking.

"You're an outstanding actress Sabrina" he starts causing a smile to pull at my lips. "You're not only professional but you're extremely hard working and you always have the motivation to push yourself to do better" listening to his words I'm starting to wonder what this is leading to. Is he going to offer me something since he keeps complimenting me?

"However I can't help but notice that your head has been a little in the clouds lately" my heart sinks. Oh no. "I'm so sorry I just-" he cuts me off.

"Its okay" he chuckles "I just wanted to make sure everything is okay."

I nod "I just have a lot on my mind" I admit softly. "This usually never happens and I promise that I'll be more invested in filming tomorrow" he smiles.

"You're doing amazing Sabrina, you have nothing to worry about" he assures me. "Thank you but I do promise to do better" with a grin he nods.

"Very well, go enjoy your time with your friends." I nod and turn back around.

Liza and I head back to our hotel instead of socialising with the others. We're both tired. As soon as we walk inside my room, my phone starts ringing with a call from my sister.

"You have to tell me everything about that date with you and Uriah!" She quickly says as soon as our phones connect. "Hi, I'm really good thanks for asking how are you?" I ask instead of answering her.

"I'm fine whatever" she mumbles making me chuckle. "He took you to the beach? You guys watched a sunset? That's so romantic!" She gushes as I raise my brow.

"If you already know what happened why are you asking me about it?"

"I only know that he took you to the beach because of the pictures you both posted on Instagram. I need more details so come on" she insists. I sigh and take a seat on the couch as I move to get comfortable.

"There's nothing interesting about the date we j-"

"Date?!" She shrieks "It was an actual date?" Playfully rolling my eyes, I let out a soft laugh. "Sarah it's like our third date and I already told you" I remind her. "So you're actually really interested in him? You actually think there's a possibility for a future relationship?" She questions.
