"I will remember your face

Cause I am still in love with that place.

But when the stars are the only things we share,

Will you be there?"

Ian hummed lightly to himself as he slowly changed back into his own clothes. They had wrapped scenes for the day, and although he and Lucy had only one scene together and it didn't include kissing, he was feeling content. He undid the last two buttons of the shirt he had on and grabbed his gray sweatshirt off the back of the chair in his dressing room, slipping it over his head.

His phone buzzed and Ian looked around for it, spotting it on the couch nearby. He clicked the home button to see one new text message.

"Wanna possibly give me a lift to my apartment? I stayed with Ash last night and thought she'd bring me back but Ryan just picked her up."

Ian stared at the screen suddenly lost in thought. Give Lucy a ride. Yes…

"Come on, I'll even buy Chick-fil-a if you drive us by there ;)"

Ian quickly hit back "Sure, just give me a few minutes to collect my things and I'll meet you by my car" before he took a deep breath and let it slowly back out. He looked at his reflection in the mirror. Disheveled hair, a sweatshirt that had a few small holes in the sleeves, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He had stayed up late last night watching a documentary on the importance of Going Green. Ian attempted a half smile at his reflection before realizing how stupid it all was. He grabbed his phone, water bottle, book, and keys before turning off the light and shutting the door.

When he rounded the corner of the lot and saw Lucy standing by his car in short shorts and a slightly-too-big-for-her sweater his heart did a somersault. Her hair was down and she had a concentrated look on her face as she stared down at her iPhone.

"Hey you."

Lucy looked up and smiled broadly. "Thank you sooooo much for this. I owe you one."

"Uh, duh. You're buying me food. They have cheesecake right?" Ian asked with a smirk on his face.

"Yessss."

Ian hit the power unlock button on his key fob and they both got in. As she was closing the door the wind blew in her direction and he got a whiff of the perfume she was wearing. Mmmm. He had the sudden urge to press his face into her neck and smell it forever.

He turned the car on and backed out of the parking space while Lucy began changing his radio stations.

"Ugh. Absolutely nothing good on. Do you mind?" She indicated her iPhone and plugged it into his car. Gavin DeGraw's Where You Are came blasting out of the car's sound system. Ian smiled contently. He loved Lucy's love for Gavin DeGraw. He loved Lucy's love for anything really.

"I wanna be where you aaare I feel the same as I did from the staaart oooohhh I wanna be where you aaare and I'm willing to get theeeere." Lucy sang at the top of her lungs. Ian's heart swelled with love. She is the most magnificent person I've ever met. Ian remembered the ustream they had done together and how Lucy said she wanted to one day do Broadway. She definitely will. She's perfect for it.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ian looked over with a dazed look. "What?"

"I don't know, you looked out of it for a second there."

Ian cleared his throat. "Yeah sorry, I'm just a little tired."

Lucy watched him as he drove on, nearly running a red light. He's so adorable. She let out a sigh and looked out her window at the passing stores and people walking their dogs. Ian made a left turn and pulled into Chick-fil-a's parking lot, driving around to the drive thru.

"Hi thank you for choosing Chick-fil-a, this is Kaitlin, can I take your order?

"Um just a minute for us please."

"Order whenever you're ready."

"Luc, what do you want?"

Lucy craned her neck and squinted her eyes. "I seriously cannot see anything. Hold on." She took off her seatbelt and leaned across Ian's seat so that her elbows were resting on his leg. "Ummmm. Can I get a ten piece nugget and a small waffle fry?"

"Okay, anything else?"

Silence followed. Lucy looked up at Ian confused as to why he wasn't speaking and saw him staring down at her like he had never seen her before. "Uh, Ian?"

Ian took one look into her eyes and had the most powerful feeling he had ever felt run through his body. He almost kissed her. She was right there and it was a perfect moment but he stopped himself right before he leaned forward in the slightest. He couldn't do this. He wasn't himself. He was overtired and hungry and just needed to get to his apartment and go to sleep.

"Ian….." Lucy slowly leaned up and back over to her seat wondering what the hell was wrong with Ian. "Hey, are you okay?" She reached over to grab his hand and squeezed it.

"Anything else?"

A car honked behind them and Ian seemed to realize that he was indeed sitting in the drive thru having a serious debate with himself about wanting to kiss Lucy. "Uh yeah just one chicken sandwich with no pickles."

"Thank you that will be $11.84. Please pull around to the second window."

"Ian is everything alright? You're acting really dazed and confused. Should I drive?"

"No no no. Everything is fine. I just need to sleep. Promise."

Why are you such an idiot? Ian mentally cursed himself. He paid for the food and while he was waiting for his change he realized he forgot to order his cheesecake. Oh well.

"Any sauce or ketchup for you guys?"

"Ohh ohh ketchup and honey mustard please" Lucy called from the passenger seat.

They took the bag and drove away. The drive to Lucy's apartment was rather quiet aside from Heartbeat by The Fray playing softly and the sounds of Lucy munching on her nuggets and fries. Ian's sandwich lay untouched in the bag. I'll eat it later.

He pulled into the apartment parking lot and up to Lucy's building.

She looked over at him. "Do you wanna come up?"

"Nah, I'm just gonna go home and sleep."

"Please? You haven't seen Jack in a long time. We miss you."

Ian considered going up. He would really love it but as much as he wanted to, he needed to sleep. "Nah Luc. Next time." He turned to look at her and his eyes found hers. "Promise." He could see the trace of disappointment on her face.

"Oh, well okay." She grabbed her purse and trash from her food and was about to open the passenger door when she looked over at Ian again. He was staring at her with a tired but happy expression. Now or never. She leaned over to him and lightly pressed her lips to his cheek. He smelt like a mixture of soap and his cologne. Lucy breathed in his smell and slowly pulled away. "Thank you." She looked into his eyes for a few seconds, and then turned and got out of the car, shutting the door. She smiled to herself as she continued up to her building.

Ian watched in shock and hopeless love as she walked away.
