Happy Valentine's Day, babes! Because it's a day to celebrate love, and I love you all for reading my stories, I decided to post a new chapter for you.
Enjoy!
"Bobbi!" Skye calls through the large crowd, waving her hand in the air to get her best friends' attention across the airport floor. She bounces a little on her feet to aid in her calls.
The woman in question turns toward Skye and a wide smile grows on her face. She rushes across the airport floor to her friend and immediately pulls her into a tight hug.
"Oh I've missed you so much," Bobbi tells her, her arms wrapped tightly around Skye.
Skye smiles, hugging her back just as tightly. "Me too." She pulls out of the hug and looks up at her best friend. "How was your flight?"
"Pretty good, actually. I don't know if I've told you recently how much I still highly dislike the fact that you moved to LA. You're too far away from me."
Skye rolls her eyes but lets a small smile grace her lips. "I know, you tell me that all the time, every chance you get. But that doesn't matter, because you are here for the entire week, I love you very much, and we are going to have such an amazing time while you're here."
"You have to work while I'm here, right?" Bobbi asks, looping her arm through Skye's as they make their way toward the baggage claim.
Skye nods. "Mm-hmm. But only for a couple of days. Even though my character is one of the leads, this particular episode that I can't actually tell you about does not require my presence every day. Which means that I am all yours for most of the week."
"I think I can live with that. But only if you take me to set on one of the days you're working so I can see it."
Skye smiles. "Deal. Now let's grab your bags and go back to my place. I'm sure you just want to relax after a very long flight."
"You are absolutely correct," Bobbi says with a nod. "It's like you read my mind or something."
"It comes from years of being your friend."
"Ah, of course. And I know it might still be a bit of a touchy subject, but how are you doing after the breakup?"
Skye breathes in deeply, her shoulders slumping just a little. "I'm actually doing surprisingly better than I thought. I think we just grew apart. I don't want to blame my career, but honestly, I feel like it started happening not long after the movie premiered. That I just started getting busier and we drifted apart."
Bobbi frowns. "I'm sorry."
Skye smiles at her friend. "Thanks. But let's stop talking about my no longer existent love life and just focus on having the best week ever. We're both extremely hot and extremely single, let's have some fun while you're here."
"Yes, let's do that. That sounds like the perfect week to me."

"Bobbi, make yourself smaller," Skye instructs her friend as they smile into her phone's camera.
"You know as well as I do that's practically impossible," Bobbi replies, hunching down as much as she can on the couch without being too uncomfortable.
Skye huffs. "Fine." She shifts so she's on her knees and quickly snaps the picture before sitting back down. She smiles at the photo on her screen and tags Bobbi in it before putting a caption and sharing it to all of her social media accounts.
My favorite lady finally came out to LA for a visit. She's gonna be here for the whole week and I'm so damn excited. I've missed her beautiful face. #mybobbi #bestfriendssincegradeschool
"I can't wait for you to come to set with me tomorrow," Skye tells her friend as she locks her phone and sets it aside. She shifts on the couch and puts her full attention on the other woman.
Bobbi smiles wide. "Neither can I. Your show is one of my all-time favorites so I'm dying to see where all the action takes place. And meet that extremely handsome co-star of yours. It's a dream come true for any fangirl."
Skye rolls her eyes. "Didn't you already meet him once at a convention or something?"
Bobbi shrugs and waves her off. "It was a very fleeting moment. And the picture at our photo op turned out completely horrible. That whole con was just one disaster after another. And I'm still mad at you for not going with me."
"Right. Well, all I'm going to ask is that you don't get super weird around him or anything. He's still a regular person. Just a very well-known regular person."
"I'll try my hardest but I make no promises at all."
Skye laughs quietly. "As long as you try. Now come on, I don't feel like cooking tonight so we're going out. I'll show you my favorite place to go to."
"And do you go there so much that the employees know your order by heart?"
Skye's cheeks get hot as she ducks her head. "I mean, they might have...some idea of what I usually like to eat."
Bobbi laughs quietly, throwing her arm over Skye's shoulders. "Alright, let's get going then."
Skye smiles up at her friend. "Yes, let's."

"You know, when you said we were going out to eat, I thought you meant a really nice restaurant. Not Subway."
"But you like Subway," Skye defends her decision, setting her food down on the table and sliding into the booth.
"I do like Subway. But we're in LA, Skye, I thought we'd go somewhere with just a little bit more class than Subway. Maybe even a little pricier too."
Skye scoffs. "Believe me, if I had those kinds of funds, we would. But I'm still barely scraping by as it is."
"Didn't you get a lot of money from the movie, though?"
"Yes, but I still have to pay bills and groceries to buy like everybody else."
Bobbi nods in understanding. "Right. That makes sense."
"Oh, well if it isn't my favorite co-star and my favorite pain in the arse."
Skye smiles up at the man. "Hey, Lance."
"Hey, Skye. Hi, legs."
"Lance," Bobbi says through gritted teeth and Skye has to fight back her laugh at the two. "What are you doing here?"
Lance raises an eyebrow. "You do remember that I live in LA, yeah?"
"Yes, I remember. I meant what are you doing at Subway? I thought your kind found food in dumpsters to eat."
"Oh, you're hilarious, truly. What are you even doing in LA? I thought you lived in Chicago."
"I do. But I finally have a break from everything and came out to visit my best friend. Not that it's any of your business."
Lance nods once. "Right. Well, I'll see you around, Skye. And Bobbi, I hope I never see your face again while you're in town."
She gives him a tight smile. "Likewise."
He flashes a quick smile at Skye before turning and walking out of the restaurant, pushing through the double doors.
"I don't know why you guys are so mean to each other," Skye remarks, taking a sip from her soda before unwrapping her sandwich.
"You were there when we met," Bobbi tells her as she shifts in her seat and begins unwrapping her own sandwich. "You know it's all his fault."
"Maybe so. But at least you could try to be civil whenever you see him."
"It's a good thing we live in two different states, then," Bobbi tells her. "I don't have to worry about being civil toward him when I'm never going to see him."
Skye sighs and shakes her head. "Fine, I'll just drop it, then."
"I appreciate that."
"Grant," Skye calls out when she sees her co-star standing at the Craft Services table, perusing the different snacks and treats available to them throughout the day while on set.
Grant turns his head and smiles at her. "Skye, hey."
"Hey." She smiles back, pulling him down into a quick hug. "What's up?"
"Not much," he replies when they pull out of the hug. "Just getting a quick snack before I have to get back to set. What's up with you?"
"My best friend of all time is in town for the week."
"Oh yeah, I think I saw the picture you posted yesterday. You're clearly excited for her to be here." He reaches behind him for his plate of snacks.
Skye nods. "Absolutely. We've been best friends since we were kids when her family moved to town. She's been my number one fan on my whole career path, supporting me every step of the way. It kinda sucks with me being here in LA and her being back home in Chicago, but I'm just glad she's here to visit for the week."
He smiles. "Well, that's very good to hear. And where is your friend while you're here? Did you leave her at your place to fend for herself?"
She scoffs and grabs a few of the snacks off his plate. "No, thank you very much. I did not leave her at my place by herself. I'm not a monster. She's actually here with me. I told her I'd give her a tour of the place after I finish my scenes for the morning. She's in the bathroom right now, but I told her to meet me out here when she's done. Fair warning, she is a big fan of yours, so she's probably going to get a little star-struck when she sees you."
Grant smiles. "Nothing I haven't dealt with before."
"Mmm, might wanna hold your tongue on that one. I'm pretty sure you've never met a fan like Bobbi before. She can be kind of...intense when it comes to her favorite actors and shows."
"Skye? You over here?"
Skye looks over her shoulder to see Bobbi approaching the area and waves her over. "Hey, you find your way okay?"
Bobbi nods. "Relatively, yeah. I got a bit turned around, but a couple of guys showed me the right way over here. They were really nice."
"Most of the crew are. But now, it is time for probably the most exciting moment of your life up to this point. Bobbi, I'd like for you to meet Grant Ward. Grant, this is my best friend in the entire world, Bobbi Morse."
"Wow," Bobbi breathes out quietly.
"Hi." Grant smiles politely. "It's great to finally meet you."
"We've actually met before," Bobbi blurts out before she can stop herself and Skye has to hold in her laugh behind her hand.
Grant furrows his brows. "We have?"
Bobbi nods. "Yeah. It was at a convention a number of years ago in Chicago; I don't know if you'd remember it. It wasn't the really big one that's super cool. It was a smaller one, that was really bad. You were one of the few big names the organizers somehow convinced to attend. I met you very briefly."
"Huh. I think I vaguely remember that convention. I'm always willing to go to conventions to meet fans, even if it isn't the most glamorous setup."
"We got a picture together too," she tells him. "But the picture turned out to be really blurry and out of focus. And the people wouldn't let me get another one later. Really, the whole thing was just a mess. Except for your panel, that was probably the only good part of the whole convention."
"Well we can't have that," Grant says. He looks over at Skye. "Do you mind?"
Skye smiles, already pulling out her phone, knowing exactly what he's getting at. "Not at all. In fact, it would be my pleasure."
"Wait, what's going on?" Bobbi asks with furrowed brows as Grant moves so he's standing right next to her.
"We are getting you a much better quality photo," he tells her as he drapes an arm across her shoulder.
Bobbi stays silent from shock as Grant steps a bit closer, her own arms down flat by her side.
"Smile, Bobbi," Skye instructs her friend.
A quick beat passes before Bobbi lets a wide grin take over her face and Skye can't help but smile too.

Finally got a decent picture of this pretty lady with one of her all-time favorite actors. She'll probably try and downplay it if you were to ask her but I'm pretty sure this was the highlight of her entire trip. And she just got here yesterday. I don't know how I can top this moment. #mybobbi #herdaywasmade
CallMeBobbi You can't. There is no topping this moment. I knew that being friends with an actor would pay off someday.
SkyesTheLimit *CallMeBobbi please. You had no idea that anything like this would happen.
IMGrantWard I'm just glad I could help. :)
