And here we go again! So this chapter was written with the help of Nyquil. Haha. So if this blows I'm so sorry! It came to me as I was just dozing off. To the people who reviwed the last chapter thank you! Same for you who added it to your favorites of added it to your alerts. Thank kiddos! Enjoy.

Oh and I own nothing to do with Twilight. But Jenny, Zoe and Love & Lies is all MINE!

Walking into the read though I took my spot next to Marie, as always she looked up giving me a cold stare. So I of course pushed, "Good to see the bitch is back."

"Oh Lauren is guest staring this season? How great for you both, saves times. This way she doesn't have to drive all the way here for a quickie." She said it but then when back to reading. I had a come back, really but before I spit it out Alice started talking to her and our half fight was forgotten. On her part I'd get her later.

Jenny was looking at me from across the table, "Morning Tony." She smiled at me a bit, "Have an eventful break?" She was being a smartass. I knew what she was talking about.

"Don't I always?" Smirking I just flipped open my script. So three months off and all I got out of it was, Lauren. Truth be told I was only with the girl because she was part of daddy's money and with the money came the connections I needed. Shallow? Maybe but hell in this business I needed an upper hand. I also got some sick enjoyment out of watching Lauren and Marie fight. Sick and twisted, I know.

Now I know what the tabloids said about us, the private getaways, the romantic dinners, the secret romance on set. I had to laugh, we had anything but romantic feelings for each other. She seemed to hate me and I well loved to piss her off. It was romance alright.

"Alright people! Listen up!" Esme walked into the room smiling big, "I trusted you all enjoyed your time off. But now its back to Love & Lies." She sat down and took a sip from her coffee, "We left the fans dying last season so let's get to work shall we. Page one, Emmett you start."

"Angel, this can not be happen, I can not be…no….I refuse to believe he'd go so far as to fake the…." Emmett paused.

Zoë took over, "Well he is desperate, he'll lose it all if he doesn't do something. Anything Brent and are we really all that shocked?"

"But my own father?" Emmett had always impressed me, he had the talent and to bring to life Brent I know I couldn't have done it.

"Zac I'm not sorry and I will never take it back. I love you. I'm not going to fake it we are who we are and my god its wrong but it feels so right." Now was the time in the script when it said Zac pulls Nova in to a long passionate kiss. Thank god it was only a read though huh?

"You shouldn't say things you can't take back Nova." Again this is the part were there was more kissing. It would be different when we were in character but for now we just exchanged a look. Because the next sentence was something we knew was coming but not something she'd say to me.

"Zac, just shut up and take off your pants." She said it with less feeling then I'd ever head her use, she was pretty good a faking things. I should know, I'd seen her fake a lot. Like that night with Mike? What the hell was that, could he not tell she wasn't into him? Anyone could see that! He was so not right for her.. Whoa, did I just say that? What the fuck?

The rest of the reading went on with out much effort on my part, it was a Brent centered episode. Which made me laugh, on the inside of course. Emmett talking about going down on a guy was amusing let's face it he had no experience with it first hand I'm sure and if he did…I didn't want to know about it.

As everyone filed out of the conference room I caught a glimpse of Marie's outfit and I swear my pants got tighter. She had on this midnight blue halter top dress with a slit up the side that lift very little to my imagination. And she had on these boots that reached above her knee. It reminded me of those boots Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman the first night she me Richard Gere's charter. Yes I've seen that movie, I mean the lead role had my name so what can I tell you not to mention it's kinda a classic from the 90's. But more on the point she shouldn't be able to have any effect on me at all and she did.

I was going to make my escape from the room when Emse stopped me, "Bella, Tony! Hold on." We both stopped and I was closer to her then I thought, I ran into her. She gave me the ' MY personal space back the fuck up' look so I took a step back, "We need to talk." I knew what was coming, "Today's you both sucked! Where was your passion? Your fight? Your love for the characters? This is a big one for everyone and if your not in it…"

Marie cut her off, "I'm sorry Esme, really. I'll be back to my old self once I get a few more hours in of sleep." She gave a smile, and I started to laugh, "What is your problem?"

"Nothing! I'm just trying to think what is your old self? Bitch or Super Bitch?" Her eyes narrowed, "I think it's the super bitch."

"Fuck you!" She flipped me off, I had to say it…

"On the table or the floor?" for good measure I popped open the top button of my button down, her eyes bugged out of her head and we both forgot Esme was in the room.

"I'm not Lauren thank you! I don't do it on the floor or a table." She turn now so she was facing me, "I'm not a whore."

"Coulda fooled me! That dress, those boot, scream hooker! Do you have the condoms stuffed in them?" She moved closer to me and shoved me.

"If I did you'll never find out, cuz I don't even think you know how to you that think in your pants."

I reached out and spun her around so I had her pinned between me and the wall, "I know how to use every inch."

"Ohh an inch? Really….I was gonna give you at least two…"

It was then that Esme cut in. "There! I want passion like that! Bring that to the table and we would have a show!" We both pulled away and looked at her, "I want you both to run lines more today before tomorrow. Now!" She left us standing there, mouths hanging open. We don't argue with mommy.

I was in hair and make-up at 4 am the next morning when Emmett walked in and sat down next to me. "How's it going man."

"Pretty good, not use to this 4 AM shit…" Emmett said with a yawn. "I mean really we couldn't push it back to like oh when the sun is up?"

I had to laugh Em was an alright guy, to bad he was on team Marie. I could just imagine the shit she had said about me after yesterday. "Tell me about it."

Alice breezed in the door, "Boys!" She was always so cheery, even this early and I wanted to know where the hell she got her coffee, I wanted my own.

"Alice where in the hell do you get your energy?" Emmett asked as he stretched out in his chair.

"I'm a morning person is all." She smiled big as she shoved hangers in his hands, "Now off you go, change now! Scoot." He hopped up and was gone, we didn't mess with Alice. "Now for you. it's the sex scene for you today right?" I nodded, "Oh goodie, I've been waiting to see how this one goes."

She was the only one excited, I was worried, Marie was oh the fuck knew and Esme told me if I messed it up I was on my ass looking for a new show. I really wasn't in the mood for that. Since the movie scripts were not looking good and the music, eh, it was not going. "You are the only girl I know who gets all happy for a TV sex scene."

"Not true! I mean when Lucas and Peyton finally did it the Leyton fans rejoiced! When Nova and Zac finally sleep together it will be like a party!"

"Are you honestly comparing us to Leyton?" I rolled my eyes at her, "Please! I've got more then Lucas."

"Well I'm not saying that I'm just saying Leyton has a fan base! Big one, like you and Nova. Of course you don't have a cool name yet when you have a cool name we'll talk."

"Oh great! We need a name to be cool."

"Yup." Alice smiled and then handed me my outfit for the day…or lack or outfit. It was a cock sock I would spend most of my day bare assed, Oh great today was going to be fun.

"CUT!" They were the best words ever. I was done for the day and I could now put clothes on. The whistle from Rosie and Em were getting to be a bit much.

I walked off set wrapped in one of those fuzzy white robes. "That was brilliant you two." Esme smiled at me and then at Marie. Who looked at me and shrugged and disappeared into her dressing room. There was no talking, no rude I was better then him, comments just bam gone. I wanted to ask what was wrong with her but I couldn't bring myself to ask anyone. As Esme walked away she stopped and looked at me, "Tony really it wouldn't kill you two to have a normal conversation."

Shutting myself in my room I shook my head, what was wrong with just talking to her? We might be able to be friends. I opened my door again and headed for her dressing room.

Bu when I got there I was about to knock when I heard her talking, "Mike get it though your head! Thee is no US! The us you speak of was a one night, three months ago. "

"Marie come on we could be so much more…" Mike was in there waiting for her. Stalker, I wanted to laugh. "It was something and you know it."

"No it was one to many shots! You were the closest guy. I was smashed!" She was walking around and I could almost picture her tossing her hands in the air. "I would have fucked anyone." Ouch. Poor guy.

Yet I had to shake my head when he kept going, trying. "But Bella!" That did it and even I knew it, she only let her friends call her Bella. Hence why I wasn't allowed. Oh no I could make out with her, pretend to fuck her silly but call her Bella? Oh hell no!

"Mike listen to me! I don't like you! Your fun and all and damn good in bed but I have no attraction to you. I go for the more brooding type. Someone like…" She paused and I heard her hand on the door so I high tailed it down the hall. I would never find out who she went for. Like I care right?

When I got back to my own dressing room all I wanted to do was get the hell out of there. First day back and I was already wishing for time off. But as I opened the door to "TONY!" Lauren ran at my and jumped into my arms. That got I had gotten the door shut because other wise we would have landed in the hall.

"Lauren, baby what are you doing here?" She kissed my neck and then slowly unwrapped herself from around me and pulled me toward the sofa.

"I missed you. I wanted to see you." She pushed me to the sofa, straddling me," It's been days…"

I smiled, "It's been two days and I've been working." I said as I ran my hand up her leg. And it was then I noticed she was wearing a dress I'd seen before. Not on her but on Marie.

I suddenly wasn't in the mood. I was suddenly back in the conference room, running my hands up a certain brunettes leg as she straddling me wearing nothing but those hooker boots.

What the fuck? I had a sure thing on my lap and I was thinking about her?

So what do you think? Love it? Hate it? You tell me. Also anyone who wants to know what the boots look like, they are on the cover of Pretty Woman the movie. I've loved the movie forEVER! Since I was like 6, and no I'm not kidding! Oh and Reviews are welcome. My b-day is on Friday so it would be like gifts to the almost 23 year old writter. They would almost be as good as nakid Rob....mmmmm.....I'm off to sleep.
