Chapter 3

To start off, I just wanna let you guys know that this has advanced to the end of the week.

Avan's POV

It was Friday afternoon and we had just wrapped up rehersals at the studio. I was headed back to my dressing room when I ran into someone.

"Oh hey Liz McGills!" I said grinning.

"Jogia." she stated simply, returning my grin with a smile. "I was just about to grab my things from my dressing room. You wanna come?" I asked "Sure" she responded.

No one knew about our relationship yet so we made sure to keep acting like normal on the set to keep people from getting suspicious.

We walked to the dressing room together and once we arrived I opened the door and let her go in first. I shut the door behind me and suddenly felt a pair of gentle warm arms snake themselves around my waist. I chuckled and turned around, facing Liz. She draped her arms around my neck and I rested my hands on her waist as I leaned down to press a kiss to her lips. I felt her smiling against my mouth as I pulled her closer. She parted her lips and I ran my tounge along her bottom lip, hearing a low moan come from the back of her throat. Her hands slowly creeped up the back of my shirt, resting against my bare skin.

A few moments later we were forced to break the connection thanks to the need of oxygen. A little breathless, Liz looked up at me with the bluish grey eyes that I adored so much and I pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Are you going to Ari's house tonight?" I asked while intertwining my fingers with hers.

"Yea, you?" she responded.

"Yea, are Matt, Leon and Vick are coming?" I asked, curious.

"I think so, should we go ask? I don't think anyone left yet." Liz replied.

"Sure." I grabbed my bag and we headed out of the dressing room hand in hand. We walked to the main filming area where Leon and Matt happened to be talking, the fact that we were still holding hands, completely forgotten. "Hey guys." I said as we approached them.

"Oh hey-" Leon began but then stopped. I was confused until I saw his eyes travel down to where mine and Liz's hands were still connected. I caught Liz's eyes before quickly dropping her hand.

"Uh-er, so are you guys going to Ari's tonight?" I asked, awkwardly trying to change to subject.

Ignoring my pathetic attempt to distract him Leon continued. "Are you guys dating...?" he asked hesitantly.

I looked at Liz trying to silently tell if she was ok with this.

She nodded so small I barely noticed. "Uh-"

Liz cut me off.

"Yea we are." she said simply.

Leon's face broke in to a grin. "Man everyone knew you guys had chemistry! It's about time you started dating!" he said chuckling.

"Yea guys congrats!" Matt added smiling.

My face flooded with relief.

"Thanks guys." Liz said shyly.

I let out a laugh, "so are you guys going to Ari's?"

"Yea we'll be there." Matt replied, "And Vick's coming too."

"Cool, we'll see you guys later then!" I replied, once again grabbing Liz's hand and walking away.

I was glad Liz was ok with telling our friends about our relationship, but I was also worried about how everyone else was going to react.

I caught Liz chewing on her bottom lip nervously and figured she must be thinking the same thing I was. She was fidgeting with her free hand and the one clasped in mine was weakly holding on. I pulled back gently on our tangled hands to make her stop walking. I turned to look straight into her eyes. "Liz, everything is going to be fine, ok? I said calmly, pressing a kiss to her forehead. She let out a relieved sigh as I did so and when I looked at her again I noticed the relaxed twinkle had returned to her grey-blue eyes once again. Squeezing her hand gently I began walking again with her by my side.

A little ways down the hallway we ran into Victoria, who was talking casually with Eric Lange who played the hilarious yet odd character, Sikowitz, on Victorious. Not wanting to interrupt, we decided to keep walking and ask Ari if she would be coming over tonight, later.

"Oh hey Avan, Liz!" Vic called out.

We turned around and saw Eric give us each a wave before leaving.

Vic jogged up to us. "Will I see you guys at-" she stopped abrubtly. Suddenly a sly grin spread across her face. "You guys are dating aren't you!" she exclaimed obviously excited. I felt a blush creep up my cheeks as I nodded. "I'm so happy for you guys!" she replied, giving us each hugs. "Thanks Vic!" we both said happily. "So you guys are going to Ari's right?" she continued.

"Of course!" Liz said cheerfully. "Kay see you then!" Vic gave us each a small wave and walked away.

"I told youuuu" I whispered in Liz's ear. She leaned into me and let out a small laugh, a sound I would never get tired of hearing. We finally reached our cars and agreed to meet at my house before heading over to Ariana's. I gave her a small peck goodbye before we parted ways.

Sorry I know this is short but I want the whole next chapter to be about going to Ariana's house. Please review because it motivates me a lot to keep writing. :)
