Hey babes! Back again with a new chapter for ya! Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but if it seems like this story has big time jumps between chapters, it's because it kind of does. The main thing I want to do is hit the most important moments. Especially in future chapters, it might seem a little weird, but it is very intentional. I think toward the backend of the story it won't seem so choppy with the timeline, but for right now, that's how it is.
Enjoy!

"Do you have to kiss him?"
"Kiss who?" Skye asks into the receiver of her phone as she strolls down the streets of The Grove, a few shopping bags clutched in one hand while she holds her cell phone up to her ear with the other. It's a very useful skill she's managed to perfect over the years.
"Do you have to kiss Grant in the movie? Because based on that trailer they released today, there seems to be some very interesting sexual tension going on there between you two that could definitely be cut with a knife."
Skye rolls her eyes beneath her dark sunglasses. "It's called acting, Bobbi. You know, it's that thing I do as a profession." She hikes her purse a little higher up on her shoulder.
"Yeah, I know that. But I'm being serious here. Do you have to kiss him in this movie?"
She quirks an eyebrow. "Do you really want me to tell you that and spoil the movie before you even see it?"
There's a brief pause on the other end of the call. "I honestly don't know."
"Well, then I'm not going to tell you."
"You suck, you know that?"
She laughs at her friend. "Yet somehow you're still friends with me after all these years."
"I'm just waiting for all the benefits of being best friends with a famous actress to start kicking in."
"And here I thought you were friends with me because I'm hilarious and super awesome."
"Well, maybe I was at first."
Skye laughs again. "I miss you, Bobbi."
"I miss you too."
"When are you going to come out here and visit me?"
"As soon as I can, I promise," Bobbi assures her. "Things are really hectic right now, but as soon as I get the chance I'm going to come out and visit you."
"I'm going to hold you to that."
"You wouldn't be you if you didn't."
"And you wouldn't be you if you didn't—"
"Are you Skye?"
"Who was that?" Bobbi asks curiously at the new voice.
"Hey, I'll call you back in a minute, okay?" she says into her phone.
"Yeah, sure."
"Great, bye." She pulls the phone away from her ear and ends the call. Sliding the phone into her back pocket, she pulls her sunglasses off and turns her attention on the young blonde girl standing next to her with a nervous smile. "Hi there."
"Hi." The little girl wrings her hands together. "Um, are you Skye? My friend said that you're not really her when we saw you but I told her she was wrong because you are."
She smiles. "Well, my name is Skye."
"Are you the Skye that's gonna be in Secret War?"
She nods. "I am."
The girl grins. "Awesome. Can I get a picture with you?"
Her heart jumps a little at the request. "Of course you can."
"Cool."
She watches as the girl pulls out a cell phone and opens up to the camera before moving to stand next to her. Skye shrinks down just a bit so her face is next to the girl and then smiles, waiting for the photo to be taken.
"Thank you so much," the girl says to her after snapping the photo.
"No problem. What's your name?"
"Claire."
"Well, Claire, it was really great to meet you. Are you excited for Secret War?"
Claire nods. "So excited. I've watched the trailer so many times already. Me and my friends are gonna have a big party at my house for the premiere of the movie. We're gonna watch it live on YouTube and everything."
"That sounds like it'll be a lot of fun."
"It will be. I have to go now but thanks for the picture."
"You're welcome." She smiles at the girl as she runs off to join back up with her friend, immediately holding the phone between them.
She waits a moment, just in case the other girl wants a photo as well, before turning and continuing her way down the sidewalk.
Pulling her phone back out of her pocket, she unlocks it and redials her best friends' number from her favorites section, holding the phone up to her ear as she walks.
"So who was that?" Bobbi asks as soon as she answers.
"A fan," she states as casually as possible, sliding her sunglasses back up onto her face.
"Wait, really?"
Skye nods. "Yep. It was kind of weird, to be honest. She knew who I was from the trailer and asked for a picture with me and that has never happened to me before."
"You're really making it big now, Skye."
"I know. It's crazy."
"Crazy exciting, though, right?"
She nods. "Definitely. Oh, I have to tell Grant about this."
"Grant, huh?"
She rolls her eyes. "Bobbi, knock it off, I can hear you smirking and wiggling your eyebrows. I'm only telling him because he's my costar in the movie and was always going on and on, since day one, about how someday I'd make it big. So I just feel like this is something he should know about."
"Right. Okay. I guess I'll let you go then, so you can tell him the news. But I'll talk to you later?"
"Yeah, of course. Bye."
"Bye."
Hanging up the call, she stops walking for a moment as she goes into her texts and finds the one between her and Grant from earlier after the trailer dropped, immediately typing inside the text box.
So I just had my first fan interaction.
She hits send and then waits semi-patiently for him to respond as she walks a little more down the sidewalk.
A few seconds later, her phone lights up with his photo, indicating a phone call.
She answers the call, holding the phone up to her ear with a teasing smile on her face.
"Oh, I should have known you'd be one of those people who answers a text with a phone call."
"Not usually. But this was too good to just read about instead of hear about. So what exactly happened?"
"Well, I'm at The Grove right now doing some shopping and a girl came up to me while I was on the phone with Bobbi, and asked me if I was the Skye that's in Secret War."
"Exactly how many famous Skye's are there that she felt the need to clarify her question?"
She lets out a small laugh. "Right? It was really sweet, though. She also asked me for a picture."
"Wow. I'm impressed."
"Yeah?"
"Definitely. And how does it feel to have been recognized on the street now?"
She tilts her head. "Honestly? Kinda weird. I definitely wasn't expecting it so it took me a little by surprise at first."
"It usually does. It'll get less surprising as time goes on, though, and your career grows."
"Guess I'll just have to take your word for it for now."
"Guess you will." He takes a deep breath. "So what are you up to today? Still out at The Grove?"
"Yeah. The weather's nice enough, so I decided to do a little shopping."
"Get anything for me?"
She quirks a brow. "And why exactly would I do something like that?"
"Because I'm your most favorite person in the entire world."
She tilts her head. "Mm...you might have to fight Bobbi for that title."
"I could take her."
She snorts. "Sure, if you really think you can. Bobbi took martial arts all through school which means she is very high ranking, so I'm pretty sure she could take you down without breaking a sweat."
"Then I guess one of these days we'll just have to test your theory and see who would win."
"Oh, I am so looking forward to that." She slows to a stop outside a shop window and gets a sly smile on her face.
"I'm sure you are." There's a brief pause. "Hey, I actually have to go now, but I'll talk to you later."
"Yeah, sure, but before you hang up, I think I just found something for you."
"What is it?"
She grins. "The latest of the most high-tech software updates."
"You're hilarious, Skye. Goodbye."
She laughs. "Bye."
Pulling the phone away from her ear, she ends the call and then steps toward the door of the shop. "Oh, he is very mistaken if he thinks I'm not actually buying this for him."

"Miles, guess what?" Skye speaks up as soon as she enters her boyfriend's apartment, tossing her bags down onto the couch and approaching him where he's standing at the stove in the kitchen.
"What?" he asks, glancing quickly over his shoulder.
She grins. "Somebody recognized me on the street today. From the movie trailer. I was at The Grove shopping and this girl came up to me and asked me for a photo. She told me how excited she is for the movie and that she and her friends are gonna have a party for the LA premiere. It was so crazy. But also kind of cool."
"Sounds like it."
She leans back against the counter. "Yeah. I was on the phone with Bobbi when it happened, and when I called her back she was pretty happy for me too. Though, she did joke about only being friends with me for the benefits of me being famous. And that she'd dump me as her best friend as soon as I got famous enough that she could reap all the benefits without actually needing me there." She laughs quietly. "I know she won't, though, she's not like that. Never has been."
"Things are really starting to take off for you, then," Miles remarks.
She shrugs. "I guess so." Her brows furrow. "Are you mad? You sound a little mad."
He shakes his head and turns to her. "No, I'm not mad. The opposite, actually. I'm very happy for you."
"But…?"
"But...I guess I'm just a little worried that you'll get really big as an actor and then dump me somewhere down the line because I'm just an indie filmmaker and not some big hotshot Hollywood director."
She steps towards him and frames his face in her hands, looking him directly in the eyes. "Hey, that is never going to happen. You're more than just an indie filmmaker, okay? You're the man that I love, and that's never going to change. I won't let it. Even if I do become some major movie star off of this, I'm still going to be the same Skye that you fell for, just...you'll have to learn to share me with the rest of the world too."
He smiles softly, wrapping his arms around her waist. "I think I can manage that."
She slides her hands down to clasp together behind his neck. "Good." She leans forward to peck his lips. "I love you."
"I love you too."

Already I can tell that I'm gonna be serious trash for these two characters. Really hope that the movie gives us some good stuff.
Yes, I know the characters obviously don't know each other that well, but it doesn't mean we can't have tons of UST with the hopes of a few sequels.
