Hey guys-

Once again thanks to everyone who reviewed. I loved them! You all rock. Especially those of you faithful reviewers. Here's a new one. Hope you like it!

Miley woke up 4 hours later with a massive headache to the sounds of Mark fiddling around in the kitchen. She groggily pulled herself out of bed.

"How is it possible that you are still perky after working all night long?" She said with her hair completely messed up sluggishly rubbing her eyeballs.

Mark looked at her sweetly. "Actually I just haven't slept yet. I figured I'd stay awake for the directors meeting this morning and then get some sleep. We're supposed to do night time shoots again tonight."

"You on the other hand look like you had one hell of a night." He said smirking as he handed her a cup of coffee over the counter.

"Did the dinner with the director and his wife really go that badly?" He asked still smiling over his cup of coffee.

"Huh? Oh. No. Dinner was fine…great actually…I guess I just couldn't sleep." Miley said trying to give as few details about her eventful night as possible.

Mark smiled at her kindly. "That's alright. I'm sure it's just leftover jet-lag. The more you work as an actor the more traveling you're going to have to do so you will probably get used to it eventually." Mark added trying to sound helpful.

Miley tried not laugh at this. Mark still didn't know about her previous life as Hannah Montana. She had once done concerts on 3 different continents in 3 days. She had grown up on planes and had NO problems adjusting to different time zones. She prided herself on it actually. "Yeah. I hope so." Miley said not making eye contact with Mark.

Miley looked at the clock. "OH MY GOD…it's already 8:30…Why didn't you tell me????" She said as she ran to her room to get ready.

Miley and Mark arrived at the Directors meeting just a few minutes before it was set to start. Miley spotted Jake across the room chatting with Kevin. He caught her eyes and smiled. Miley couldn't help but blush. They took seats on some of the couches around the big room. Most of the other actors and crew were sitting or standing around the room. Kevin made a move to start the meeting and Jake took a seat across the room from Miley.

Jake could see that Miley looked tired. He had barely slept at all the night before going over what had happened. He wondered if she had done the same. He knew she was never very good at waking up early after late nights even though she had had lots of practice as Hannah.

Suddenly Kevin was speaking. "Alright everyone… I have our tentative shooting schedules here. We're going to have 2 shooting teams going at almost all times so make sure to check the schedules and make sure you're not supposed to be in two places at the same time."

"Also if you haven't picked up a new script in the past few days you should do so now. There have been a lot of last minute alterations."

The meeting continued in much the same way for the next hour with various announcements from the different departments. Wardrobe, makeup, props all scheduled times to meet with the various actors and rehearsal schedules were posted.

Miley checked her shooting and rehearsal schedules. It looked like she and Jake would be spending a lot of time together the next few months seeing as they had nearly all their scenes together. On the other hand she and Mark had barely any. She sighed. She wasn't sure how she was going to keep her cool around Jake when they were going to be working so closely together. And after re-reading the script she knew that they would definitely be working CLOSELY together.

People were now dispersing from the room that was serving as Kevin's office.

"So Miles…what do you have on your schedule for today?" Mark asked leaning over.

Miley checked her schedules. "It looks like I have a few fittings this afternoon and then some rehearsal. But it looks like I should be done by about 4:30….You?"

"Just the opposite….I'm off until 5:00."

Miley looked at him sweetly. "Looks like I'm on my own for dinner huh?"

Mark looked at her tenderly. "Not necessarily. You should really use this time to get more acquainted with the other cast members. Especially the one's you're going to be working with."

He looked up and surveyed who was left in the room. He spotted Jake and Kevin in the corner going over the shooting schedules. "Jake!"

Jake looked back over at them surprised. Mark waved his hand motioning for him to join them.

Miley's eyes got huge sensing what Kevin was about to do. "No.. Um…Mark. That's ok I'll be fine."

Mark smiled at her kindly. "Nonsense Miley. You two are going to have more onscreen time than anyone. You should really spend some time catching up."

Miley still tried to dissuade him. "Mark. REALLY. It's fine. I'll figure something out."

By this time Jake had come over to them looking confused and yet calm. He glanced quickly at Miley before turning his attentions to Mark.

"Yeah?" Jake asked.

"Jake. So um…I was wondering if you could help me out with something here." Mark said kindly.

"Uh…sure…no problem…what can I do for you?" Jake asked rolling his script up and placing it behind his back.

"Well…it looks like I have to shoot tonight and Miley here will be all alone. So I thought it might be a good idea if the two of you got some dinner and spent a little extra time together catching up and getting comfortable with each other again. It will be great preparation for your scenes together." Mark said with the air of a more experienced actor giving advice to the newbies.

Miley had her head in her hand due to the embarrassment she was feeling. Her cheeks were definitely flushed. She looked up to find Jake trying his best not to smirk in front of Mark.

"Oh sure…no problem. I think you're absolutely right…we should spend some time getting reacquainted…um…don't you think so Miley?" Jake finished now barely hiding his sly smile.

Miley couldn't help feeling her lips twitch into a small smile at the look on Jake's face. "Uh….yeah." She said trying to hide her smiles from Mark.

"Great!" Mark said "I'll see you later then." He said to Miley and gave her a quick kiss on the head and walked out the door.

As soon as the door closed laughter seemed to overtake Jake. Calming down slightly he turned towards Miley with a questioning look in his eyes. "Is it me or did your boyfriend just set us up….on a date?" He asked still smiling broadly with his eyebrows raised suggestively.

Miley was smiling too at the ridiculousness of what had just happened. She playfully slapped him on the arm. "Oh shut up Ryan."

Jake continued to smile at her. "I can see why you like him though….any guy who will set you up on dates when he's not around is obviously a very caring individual." Jake said in a tone of mock seriousness.

She hit him again this time slightly harder than the last. "It's not THAT funny."

Jake looked at her incredulously. "Yes. It. Is" "He obviously doesn't know about US yet?"

Miley looked at the ground sheepishly. "Well…no. It's complicated. And…Well…"

Jake was looking at her expectantly obviously enjoying the fact that she was getting flustered.

Miley noticed the smug look on his face and steeled her resolve. "Fine then….go to dinner by yourself!" She said resentfully as she started walking towards the door.

Jake quickly but tenderly took her by the wrist. "Oh come on now. You know it was funny. And…and we can't let Mark down! That's it…we wouldn't want to disappoint him. Plus…as he said…it will help with all those scenes we've got together." Jake said sarcastically still trying not to laugh.

"We'll both just have to do our best to put up with each other for one night alone." He said looking into her eyes again.

Miley could feel the joking mood change into a serious one. She felt chills along her spine as she became aware of where his hand touched her skin and felt the intensity of his gaze.

Jake took a breath getting slightly flustered by his proximity to Miley. "You know… we might not have the opportunity to spend much time together away from work…we deserve to have one night on our own…don't you think?" "Besides it was you who said that we needed to get to know each other again." Jake said sincerely still holding onto Miley's wrist.

Miley looked at him and smiled shyly. She knew the only way she would ever be able to decide between them would be to spend some more time with Jake by herself. She sighed admitting defeat. "Ok…I'll go. Pick me up at 7:00?"

Jake smiled softly and let her go knowing that he'd won the small battle.

Miley picked up her things and headed towards the door. Before leaving she turned her head. "But Jake…"

"Yeah?" He asked questioningly turning his head back towards her.

She smiled suggestively at him. "It better be good."
