A/N Again the disclaimer. I do not know personally anyone mentioned. This is purely a fiction exercise. Also because English is not my native language you may have to excuse some mistakes I may write. That being said I hope you enjoy it. :)

You are riding with your friends on a road trip and Grant Gustin, the actor you have a major crush on, is going with all of you.

You feel a little awkward, you try to hide your crush on Grant so well that even your friends noticed you are quieter than usual and Alexa told you were almost being rude and that it seems that you were annoyed with Grant coming with all of you.

You have just entered Highway 1 north of Santa Monica. Travis says to Grant, "There's your ocean view."

Grant is looking your way outside the window. "Right. I have to figure out something to get that seat there." Grant then smiles cheekily at you. "Oh, I know..." He searches for something in his backpack and reveals a chocolate candy bar that he extends your way. "Maybe you're a fan of chocolate?"

You can't help but to burst into laughter. You accept the candy bar and you smile amused. "I am, indeed. How did you know?"

Grant shrugs with his gorgeous smile. "You're a girl, so..."

"Oh right." You roll your eyes and you cheeks feel like burning. "Thanks. If this is any good I might, and I say might, change places with you..."

"We're getting somewhere..." Grant grins charmingly and all the others laugh. Alexa then comments in a teasing way and feeling glad that you're looking more chatty, "Way to go, Grant. You have almost reached her heart. Add a bottle of wine to that chocolate and the seat will be yours."

Everyone laughs again and you open your eyes in shock and embarrassment. "Oh for fuck's sake..."

Grant smiles. "I think we can arrange something like that..."

You pretend to be offended. "You should know beforehand that I only drink expensive European wine..."

"Oh damn. Not so sure I can get that during our ride..." Grant pretends to be sad and pouts.

You shake your head with a smile. "Whatever, next stop we do I'll let you take this seat. No problem." You keep smiling like a fool and you think to yourself, 'he's adorable. And so cute and gorgeous... Oh dear.' You try to suppress a sigh while you look at the chocolate candy bar in your hand. You hand it back to Grant and you smile. "Now seriously, here, it's yours. You can have my seat without offering me chocolate. I've seen these views many times before and already have many photos to document it."

Grant shakes vehemently his head and refuses to accept it. "No, the chocolate is yours. Seriously. There's more from where that came from."

Alexa rolls her eyes at the candy bar passing from one side to the other in front of her. "Oh please, if you guys can't decide I'll take the chocolate, thank you." She grabs the candy bar much to everyone's amusement.

"No problem." Grant immediately takes another candy bar from his backpack and hands it to you. "Told you there was more from where that came from."

You laugh loudly. "Who are you? Willy Wonka?"

With another general laughter you all proceed with your trip, mainly telling jokes and listening to Travis' and Grant's adventures from their road trip to San Francisco last year.

You decide to take a stop when you reach Santa Barbara. You stop by the beach and you decide to eat something at a local beach bar then you all take a walk in the sand. It's sunny and temperatures are mild, not too hot, not too cold, normal for March.

At first you are all together but then all of a sudden Travis and Erin decide to walk in another direction so they can have a moment alone and Alexa picks up a call from Leo. In a second you find yourself walking alone with Grant. 'Oh no, I knew this was gonna happen. What now?' You think to yourself anxiously.

Grant speaks. "So, are you friends with Travis and Erin for long?"

You nod, feeling a little relieved that he started the conversation. "Yeah, about five years now when I moved to LA. That's when I met Alexa too."

"Ok, so are you dancer too, like them?"

"Oh no." You giggle. "Nothing like that."

Grant frowns amused. "You could have fooled me." He casts a discreet look at you from head to toe.

'What?!' You think to yourself, feeling even more embarrassed with his look at you and his bold answer. "Why?" You ask abruptly.

"Oh, you could be... With your body building and such..."

You giggle at his answer. "Well, I do some exercise, jogging, hiking, swimming, some fitness and yoga, even dancing, but it doesn't mean it's my job."

He smiles. "What's your job then?"

"Oh. I write." You simply say.

Grant frowns interested. "You write? What? Books?"

"Hahah! No, I'm a screenwriter."

"Ok... TV?"

"Yeah, mostly."

Grant asks you what have done so far and you tell him mentioning you're also working on your first original movie script.

"Cool. Quite impressive."

You smile shyly. "Thanks. What about you?" You quickly change the focus to him.

"Oh, I'm in-between works. 90210 is over and I'll start on something new in May. Meanwhile I have auditions and such..." He shrugs.

"Nothing too exciting?" You ask noticing his expression.

"I don't know yet, we'll see..." He shrugs again. "By the way, you aren't upset that I've joined you guys, are you? You seemed a little annoyed at first..."

You immediately blush. "Oh no, of course I'm not upset. It just took me by surprise, that's all. Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression..."

"It's fine. I understand. Someone you don't know and never met before joining you and your friends without any notice..."

"No, it's fine, really. It's like they said, the more the merrier." You say smiling. You feel a sudden will of hugging Grant so you just look away shyly. Fortunately at that moment Alexa calls you. "Hey, you two, we're going back!"

You and Grant walk back to join her, Travis and Erin in silence. You have a stupid smile on your face that you try to hide.

"Hey, guys, thinking of walking by the beach till you reach our destination?" Erin jokes.

"Ha-ha-ha, funny." You say ironically. "I thought we were having a walk on the beach so we were walking..." Grant nods, agreeing with your words.

Erin grins amused, "Right, anyway, let's get going. We still have more three to four hours of driving to go... I'm driving now so Travis can rest a bit." Erin informs.

You all walk back to the car.

"You can have my seat now." You say to Grant with a smile.

"Really?" He grins.

"Sure. Go ahead."

"Thanks."

This time you get to sit between Grant and Alexa. That simple fact is enough to make you feel almost dizzy. Your hips touching Grant's and the sweet scent of his perfume too obvious now are making your heart jump. Grant is looking outside the window and look the same way but your eyes stop on his neck instead. 'Oh dear, his cute freckles... I wanna lick those...' Precisely in this moment Grant turns his head at you. Even before he says anything you blush like you're in hell and you look away. You feel like he could guess your depraved thoughts.

Grant frowns amused at your poorly hidden embarrassment. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah sure." You nod immediately.

"Missing your seat?" He smiles.

You roll your eyes smiling. "No, it's all yours, seriously."

Without you or Grant even noticing, Erin and Alexa change some intrigued and entertained looks between each other.
