Taylor and Pierre walk ahead of us and Chris walks beside me. When his hand brushes against mine, my breath hitches. 
He leans a little closer as we walk, whispering, "I guess they already know, huh?" 
I bite into my bottom lip nervously as I nod, glancing at him. 
His jaw tenses slightly as he whispers, "Told you not to do that." 
It makes me chuckle. Smiling up at him, I mumble out a "Sorry," before we step into the elevator. 
We walk into it, standing behind Pierre and Taylor and as they press the button to go the reception area, I feel something brush against my hand again. 
I tense up nervously as Chris' fingers dance over mine before his hand slides into my own, his fingers lacing with mine. 
I smile as I look down at the floor, glancing up at him shortly. 
He leans down to my ear as he whispers, "I just needed to touch you. That okay?" 
"Yeah," I whisper back, "More than okay." 
✦✧✦✧
Chris' hand releases mine as soon as we step out of the elevator. The reception area is pretty filled with people and I'm not surprised when we're ushered towards the garage, not exiting through the main entrance. 
A tall man walks up to Chris, gesturing towards a black SUV, and Chris turns to me quickly as he hesitantly says, "I uh, I wish I could go with you guys, but.. You know." 
I nod quickly, "It's no problem. I'll see you later."
"Yeah," he says hesitantly, his eyes glancing down at my lips before darting back up to meet mine again, "Yeah, see you later. Have a safe ride." 
I chuckle softly, "It's not that far Chris."
"I know," he says as he walks backwards towards his car, "But still." 
I shake my head as I chuckle again, Taylors driver quickly escorting me into the car. 
Pierre lets out a squeal as soon as I get in and close the door behind me. 
"Oh my god!" he exclaims, "He is so adorable!" 
"Shut up, Pierre," I grumble as I put on my seatbelt. 
"That man is head over heels for you!" Pierre gushes as he wraps an arm around me, "Our little Ames, catching the attention of the hottest man on EARTH!" 
"Pierre," I say sternly, glaring at him, "Stop it." 
"Nope," Pierre chirps as he smiles brightly, "Not stopping it until he does." 
I roll my eyes at his antics but I can still feel the excitement blooming inside me and it doesn't fade for the rest of the drive.

"I need to go to hair and makeup and run through some lines before the scenes," Taylor says as we get out of the car. "You guys can go grab some breakfast if you want." 
"I'll grab some for you too and bring it to hair and makeup," Pierre says as we walk onto the lot, "You need to eat." 
Taylor plants a kiss on his cheek, "Thank you my love." 
I smile warmly at their actions. 
"You can both come sit with me in hair and makeup, if you want. I already cleared it with the team, they know you'll be on set today." Taylor says as we walk further onto the lot. 
"Okay," Pierre says, "We'll be right there." 
Taylor grins at him before making his way towards the trailer, "See you soon!" 
I nod and smile at him before he disappears into the trailer. Pierre and I continue on, making our way towards Craft services. 
"Sooo..." Pierre says teasingly, "You excited to get to watch your boyfriend in action, all day?"
I snort, "He's not my boyfriend." 
"Uh-huh, sure," Pierre says as we make our way over to the large table filled with food. He grabs 3 plates, handing me one of them before he starts picking out food for him and Taylor. 
"He's really not," I say as I pick some stuff for my own plate, "And please don't joke around about it, in front of him. That would be so embarrassing." 
Pierre chuckles, "I won't Ames, promise. But he's clearly smitten." 
I roll my eyes, "Whether he is or isn't, I can't confirm. I'm not going to be making any assumptions about this.. thing." 
"Why not?" Pierre asks as he picks some fruit to put on the two plates, "I think he's made it pretty clear." 
I sigh, "Yeah, well, I'm not going to be expecting anything. He's not like us. He's famous. Super, super famous. His life is very different from ours. Maybe he's like this with all the women he meets. Falls quick and hard and then it fades to nothing. It's safer for me to not get my hopes up right away." 
Pierre furrows his brows as he looks at me, "You really believe that?" 
I shrug, "I don't know what I believe. All I know is that we're getting to know each other and it feels good, but I'm not going to assume he has deep feelings of love for me. Not until he says he does, at least. It's best I take it slow and don't make a big deal about it right away. And it's best that we keep it private, I'm not risking anything on that front, just in case it doesn't work out.  That way is safer. You get that, right?" 
"I guess," he mumbles, "I just don't think you should assume he's not being real or honest, just because he's famous." 
"I'm not," I say, "I'm just also not assuming the opposite." 
We finish filling the plates with food before slowly making our way back towards the hair and makeup trailer.
