Chapter Two

(Two weeks Later)

“Can we please focus?” The director said, exasperated. He was met with a chorus of groans.

“Fine. We’re done for today. Go home.” For the past two weeks, Anna and Ryan had gone out to dinner.every night, getting to know each other. The dinners were romantic, everything they did conveyed they were a couple.

“So are you and Ryan an item?” Rachel asked. Anna smiled.

“Yeah. He’s amazing, Everything about him is amazing.” Rachel sighed.

“OK, you are so in love. You two make a cute couple though.” A pair of hands were placed over Anna’s eyes.

“Guess who.” Someone whispered in her ear.

“Hmmm....Dennis Rodman?” Anna joked. The hands were removed and Anna turned around. Her blue eyes met his just before he kissed her.

“I think we should go to the beach.” Ryan suggested. “I know this great deserted beach up north.”

“OK, but let me change first.” Anna hurried into the changing room and picked out a blue tankini.

“OK, I’m ready.” Ryan grabbed her hand and they walked out to the limo. Twenty minutes later, they arrived at a beach that was comparibly close to Cancun. Ryan grabbed a picnic basket and blanket and headed to the edge of the ocean. He spread out the blanket and started putting out some food.

“I put a lunch together while you were changing. Lots of different food.” Ryan grabbed a chocolate covered strawberry and held it up to Anna’s mouth. Anna took a bite, letting the velvety chocolate melt on her tongue.

“Go straight for the chocolate don’t you?” Ryn laughed as he brought his lips down onto hers.

“Mmmm. But I wanted to come here for a reason. I wanted to tell you something.” Anna looked at him expectantly.

“I love you. I know it sounds crazy, rushed, and maybe even ludicrous but I do. Having spent every evening having dinner with you, getting to know you, I have loved every minute of it.”

“Ryan I--”

“I love you for the person you were, the person you are, and the person you will one day become. I can’t stop thinking about you and--” Anna put a finger up to his lips.

“I love you too. It doesn’t sound crazy or rushed because I feel the same way.” Ryan opened a bottle of champagne and poured it into two glasses.

“Then here’s to our love. To the future and to now.” They toasted and two shooting stars shot through the night. Tonight, they were normal people. It was all about them. This was their night and this was their love.

(3 Months later-Last day of Shooting)

“This is it guys. Last day of filming. It should be reletively short because we only have the end scenes to shoot..” Anna had started to shoot another movie, not titled, with Chris O’Donnell. Anna and Ryan were know as Hollywood’s hottest couple. But they weren’t going to be spending every day together anymore and Anna worried about what that might do to their relationship.

“You are required to attend the promotion party. Rachel read.

“At least it’s an excuse to go shopping and get our hair and nails done.” Anna replied.

“And you get to go with Ryan.” Anna nodded.

“Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go shopping!” They decided to hit Rodeo Drive, specifically a store with tons of formal dresses.

“This one is perfect for you Anna!” Rachel exclaimed. The deep blue dress was strapless and clung perfectly to every one of Anna’s curves. It had a full blue chiffon skirt and it reached down to graze the floor.

“It is perfect.” Anna whispered. She ended up buying it, along with strappy blue heels to wear with it. Their next stop, the salon. Anna had a French twist adorned with blue babys breath and two tendrils curled and framing her face. She had a french tips manicure put on. At seven, her and Rachel put on their dresses and did their makeup. At 7:30, their dates showed up. Ryan had a black tuxedo on that made him look ABSOLUTELY hot!

“Ready beautiful?” Ryan said offering her his arm.

“Oui monsieur.” The promotion party lasted more than 4 hours and Anna was tired when she got home.

“Would you like to come in?” Ryan stepped inside and Anna grabbed some wine and two glasses.

“Ryan I--” He stopped her by kissing her. The wine, the glasses, everything was forgotten. Anna led him to the bedroom.

“Make love to me Ryan.”

“I want--”

“It’s right and you’re the guy. Make love to me.” And that’s exactly what they did. But after that, things started to change.
