A/N: This is a short one but it's leading up to the first bit of drama this story will hold, so give me loads of feedback. (: And thanks so much to the people who are already reviewing.

CHAPTER THREE

They got a table and ordered and Ryan faced Kelsi, folding his hands on the table. "So I haven't exactly agreed to this project yet," Ryan said. He was almost nervous telling Kelsi about this. He wondered how she would react. "I told Drew I would talk to you before I made any final decisions because, well, I'm supposed to have a romantic part in this..." Kelsi felt her stomach drop. "I don't think it's really much though, just some acting, a few duets, and he said maybe a kiss or two, but... if that bothers you, then I won't do it.

See, the main character is this guy named Dylan who is turning into a vampire cause he got bit by a bat on a camping trip. He doesn't want to become a vampire because he likes the girl that lives next door who's his best friend. He has this whole dilemma about how he can't kiss her because it'll kill her..." He avoided looking at her face as he explained this. He felt Kelsi's hand on his and looked up at her.

"Ryan, I do trust you, you know," she told him. "I've seen you act in romantic parts with other girls before. I don't think you're going to leave me just because you have to kiss someone else for a part... as long as you don't mean it."

"Of course I wouldn't—but really, you're okay with it? I mean, you won't mind me doing the part...?" Kelsi shook her head. Truthfully, it did bother her a little, but she the fact that Ryan cared so much about Kelsi being comfortable and trusting him meant a lot to her. She knew he wasn't about to betray her just because he had to play a role. He was an actor, he would obviously have to kiss someone else at some point. She couldn't hold that against him.

"You're the greatest, Kels," Ryan said. "I'll text Drew later." He leaned over to kiss her. "I just can't believe how things are working out here, you know?" Kelsi nodded, although she couldn't honestly say she knew how he felt.

"So when do you start working on this?" Kelsi asked. Ryan shrugged.

"A couple of weeks. They need to get costumes and sets built and stuff. I think we're using Drew's dorm as my bedroom and stuff. We're going to start by recording the songs, this guy Greg has a make-shift recording studio... We have to learn the songs and I think they need to finish writing the ending, it's just a work-in-progress right now... But enough about me. How was your day?" he asked as their food arrived.

"It was alright," Kelsi said. "I got to talk to Troy earlier for a little while. He really likes Burkley."

"That's good," Ryan said, breaking apart his chopsticks. "How were your classes?" Kelsi thought of Lydia, who had spent most of the class shooting Kelsi dirty looks.

"They were alright," she said. "Sorry, I'm just trying to picture you as a vampire..." Ryan laughed.

"Yeah well, I won't exactly be Edward Cullen..."

"That's a relief. He's kind of dirty. I think you're much better-looking," Kelsi said. Ryan smiled.

"What did I do to deserve you?" he asked. Kelsi had been asking herself the same question.
