Hello guys! I'm so so so happy and that's because of you and your wonderful reviews! I'm so glad you're reading this story and you seem to like it too. I tried to write this chapter a little faster and I think I did! I really believe that this "sexual tension" exists between Avan and Liz so I try to make you see it the way I do! Enjoy! :D

Chapter 3

LIZ'S POV

"Oh my god! Can you believe it we are here?" I tell Avan in a whisper. We're both sitting in a big room for our first table-read. He's sitting next to me and takes my hand in his under the table, before whispering back to me.

"I can't. Are you nervous? Cause I know I am." He points out looking at me with his big brown eyes.

"Nuh... You're here so that's a piece of cake! We'll make it!"I say cheerfully. Then the door opens and our director comes in. We've already met the rest of the cast. Most of them are new actors. There's my on-screen husband-to-be, Avan's other on-screen girlfriend, our two best friends and others. They all seem really nice.

"Hello everyone! I'm so glad to see you all together for the first time. I hope we can all work together and have an amazing result. Welcome at your new set!" The director, Joan, a petite woman around 40, takes her seat and smiles to everyone. After we said hello and thanked her she continued.

"So, today is our first table read, but first I'd like to read the synopsis of the movie. Then I'm going to explain this scene. To begin with, Avan, Elizabeth, you are playing the roles of Christian Green and Alex Reginald. You two are friends from high school but left for college. Alex becomes the editor-in-chief for a fashion magazine in Los Angeles and Christian is the president of his family's company in London. After 5 years, Christian comes back to LA to take over the other company and meets Alex accidentally at work. They have to collaborate and work together since Avan's father wants to buy the magazine. They spend time together and realize that they like each other. Although, Alex is going to get married in 6 months with David..." She points at Ben, my other co-star who smiles politely.

"... and Christian is in a serious relationship with Samantha..." She points at the blonde girl who's sitting at the other side of the table, Pauline. "So as not to procrastinate any longer they end up having an affair. That's the summary."

Avan and I look at each other when she says the word "affair".

"Now, about this scene, Alex and Christian meet at her office, for the first time. They're both surprised and a little nervous deep inside, but most of all, happy seeing each other. So is everyone ready?" Joan asks us and we nod yes.

The read-through ends successfully. It is said that it's just as important as the auditions, since the producers and directors can see if the cast and the lead actors can work efficiently together. It seems like we did! Firstly, it was so awkward but after five minutes I got in the role. I was Alex. I tried to feel like her...Her happiness meeting with Christian, her trembling voice while facing him, her uncertain behavior towards him. The other actors also did a good job, saying their lines.

"You were awesome there McGills." Avan comments while getting out of the room.

"So you mean that usually I'm awful but today I just got lucky?" I respond, imitating Jade's voice. He starts laughing immediately and I can't help it but laugh as well. That's when Pauline comes to us.

"Hey guys, I'm going out with Ben, Lucy and Josh, you wanna come?" She asks politely when we stop laughing.

"Hey...Um, yeah! Why not? That would be great. Right Liz?" Avan turns to face me smiling.

"Yeah! It would be." I'm forcing a smile trying to seem kind and polite.

"Perfect! We're going at this new restaurant, which is just a block away. The boys just went there to get us a table. Lucy and I will get our stuff now. Meet you there?" Pauline says in her happy high-pitched voice.

"Yes! See you!" I respond and she leaves.

"Ok. God, making friends all alone would be so difficult." I whisper to Avan while walking towards our dressing rooms. "You know I'm not that outgoing with someone I don't know."

"I've noticed." He jokes and I give him a death glare. "Liz, you'd do great by yourself. You're a great person. Plus everyone would want to be your friend."

"You think? Thank you. I mean...I don't know it seems so hard to be around people. Gosh, I'm weird." I say in a sad tone. But it's true. It's so weird to meet new people who like my sense of humor, my perspective on many things and my taste in almost everything.

"You are. But that means I am too because we're hanging out together." Avan adds.

"Except that, I think she's a little creepy."

"Why would you think that? Pauline seems harmless." Avan grins at me and I link my arm with his.

"Because she hasn't stopped smiling since she got here. That's scary." He burst out laughing.

"You're so right, Liz! That's true. She looks cute though." Avan says and I almost choke. What? He finds this blondie cute?

"Then ask her out!" I exclaim trying to look like I don't care, but I utterly fail to do so. "You know who else is cute? Ben." I answer to my question without even waiting for him. Avan just stands there looking at me intensely, till he starts laughing again, but this time, at me.

"What is so funny?" I ask miserably, crossing my hands over my chest, like a 5-year-old, which is so not like me. I guess I just act stupidly around Avan.

He approaches me and places his hands on my cheeks, making me face him. Our proximity almost kills me, cause I don't know if I can resist those lips for any longer. We stay like this for a while. I'm sure he's going to kiss me, so I slightly part my lips. Instead he kisses my temple.

"I like it when you're jealous." He tells me with his hoarse voice and his fingers caressing my face. I want to kiss him so badly right now, but I shouldn't, so I wear my playful face again and take a step back.

"I wasn't jealous Jogia. You're so full of yourself!" I tease him and keep walking in the hallway. Then he almost runs to me and catches me from behind. He starts spinning me around with his hands wrapped tightly around my waist and I laugh at his action and because I really like him so close to me.

"OMG...Stop, Avan!" I yell at him still laughing and he stops. He doesn't leave me though. On the contrary, he pulls me even closer so as my back to be pressed against his chest and my ass against his crotch. I can feel how excited he is, something that's not bothering me at all, since I feel equally turned on. His hands softly rub my stomach and his lips reach for my ear to whisper.

"In case you didn't know, you're the most beautiful woman in this set." He bites my neck and returns to touching my ear, when I shiver. "I wouldn't lay eyes to another woman, but you." I can easily melt now, or pass out, or something. Most of the time I have something to say. Well, not this time. I just stand here speechless, frozen and feeling hot.

AVAN'S POV

"Let's go now. We're already late." I manage to say and I don't know where I found the courage to do that, because having the girl you've been thinking about for the last 4 years pressed against you isn't exactly easy. She knows though, how I feel, since I have some let's call them...some physical symptoms...

When I loosen my hold a little, she remains there breathing heavily.

"Yeah! Let's go." Liz says grabbing my hand and leading me outside the set.

This is the end for now! :D Did you like it? What else do want to happen between those two? Don't forget to REVIEW to let me know! (The rating is so going to change) :P Thanks for reading!

Kisses!
