Summary: Ross has been busy with his new upcoming movie and him and Laura barely see each other. Scandals arise and hearts are broken. How will Laura cope with her boyfriend and his beautiful co-star?
'Hey! It's Ross. Sorry I couldn't answer right now! I'll get back to you as soon I can! Leave a message,'
Laura sighed as she heard her boyfriend's voicemail through her phone for the nth time that week.
"Hey Ross, it's me again! Um, I was just wondering if you're free to meet up tomorrow.. Or whenever you're free, I guess. Uh, I love you... And I miss you.. Okay, bye." She left him a voice message and tossed her phone on her bed. She ran her fingers through her hair and then left her room to walk into her sister's room.
"Laura! What's up? Her older sister asked, looking up from the script she was reading through for her TV show.
"Hey Vanessa.. I'm not bothering you, right?" Laura asked and her sister raised her eyebrow in confusion. She put her script down and patted the spot next to her on the bed.
"Come here," Vanessa commanded, and Laura took a seat next to her, "What happened?"
"I know that Ross has been busy lately because of his movie promotions, and the interviews, and stuff, but I just miss spending time with him, y'know?" Laura said sadly and Vanessa looked at her with sympathetic eyes.
"Aw, Laur, have you asked him to meet up at least?" Vanessa inquired and Laura nodded furiously.
"I literally just did before I came into your room!" Laura exclaimed and Vanessa motioned her to go on. "But he didn't answer. It went straight to voicemail."
"He's just really busy Laura. Don't take it personally. You know he-" Vanessa started, but was cut off by faint ringing in the room next door.
Laura stood up quickly and ran out of Vanessa's room to her own, squeaking a quick 'Thanks for the talk!' And the door slammed shut.
"-loves you." The black haired girl finished and shook her head, smiling at her younger sister's behavior.
Laura rushed into her room and picked up her still ringing phone from her bed. She smiled widely as she read the caller id, and she pressed the green button with delight, putting her phone to her ear.
"Laura! Hey I'm so sorry I didn't answer. I was stuck at the studio, finishing up some songs." She heard her boyfriend's tired voice and she sighed, knowing they wouldn't get to talk for long because he was gonna go to sleep soon.
"It's totally fine, I get that you're busy. I'm just grateful that you had the energy to call back." Laura responded and she heard her boyfriend chuckle at the other end of the phone.
"You like cookie dough ice cream, right?" He asked, and Laura rolled her eyes and giggled.
"Ross, you know for a fact that cookie dough is my favorite ice cream!" Laura exclaimed into the phone.
"Well, I just wanted to make sure. Now come downstairs for a surprise."
Laura gasped into the phone and quickly looked at her reflection in the mirror, fixed her hair, then ran out of her room down the stairs into the living room. She saw her boyfriend sitting on the couch holding a bouquet of roses and a tub of cookie dough ice cream chatting with her parents.
"Ross!" Laura exclaimed and Ross put the flowers and ice cream down to run up to his girlfriend and pick her up into a giant hug. Laura jumped into his arms and he spun her around, his face nestled in the crook of her neck. He finally put her down and planted a quick kiss on her lips, earning a fake cough from Laura's father.
"We'll leave you two alone." Ellen glared at her husband, and gave the two a quick smile before dragging him into the kitchen.
"What are you doing here! You must be so tired! Oh my god, why didn't you go straight home!" Laura demanded. Ross rolled his eyes and landed another kiss on his girlfriend's lips before answering her.
"I missed my beautiful girlfriend." He simply stated and winked at her causing her to blush and playfully push him. "And I'm gonna be really busy with Maia for the next couple weeks since the movie comes out next Friday. So I just had to see you before all the craziness starts, but the premiere's this Friday, which of course you still are my date, right?"
"So the next time we'll see each other is Friday?" Laura muttered and Ross nodded, noticing the sadness in her voice.
"Hey, it's only 6 days away. It'll go by quick, okay? And then 2 or 3 weeks after that I'll be free to see you everyday." Ross pulled her into a warm hug and rested his chin on top of her head. She buried her face into his chest and nodded her head. They stood there for a while until he kissed the top of her head and let go of her.
"Now let's eat some ice cream, and not think about this." Ross smiled and Laura looked at him, smiling back and went in for another kiss.
