With this chapter, the story is really starting to pick up its pace. You'll especially like the end, trust me on that
''I love this one!'' Raini squeals while holding up one of the photos. It shows the four on top of the Empire State building, doing superhero poses. Calum has his back straight, on fist in the air and looks up with a serious face. Ross stands with his legs apart, and his fists clenched on his hips while looking in the camera. Laura and Raini had matched their poses, standing both on one leg, the other one straight behind them, and lean towards the camera like they're flying while looking each other in the eyes laughing.
''That's a good one, I think the writers chose this one too as one of the promotion photos.'' Calum agrees and grabs it from Raini. Turning it around, he reveals a little, black cross in the top right corner. Kevin had told them the mark meant that photo was chosen to get published.
''Too bad this one wasn't chosen, it's fun.'' Laura comments and holds up another. In between the shoots, they had been given a short break. One of the crew members decided to put some music on, to prevent they would get too cold with the icy wind on top of the tower. And it worked, they had danced to numerous Walk The Moon and Bruno Mars songs. Without knowing, the photographer had taken a few photos of them dancing around.
Raini and Laura were dancing together with big smiles on their faces, Ross was standing with his back towards the camera, his hands in the air and Calum was kicking his legs up.
''Oh, this one is.'' Ross found another photo of them dancing that did have a cross on the back. On this one, the group had split. Raini and Calum were in the back dancing on opposite of each other, making funny faces, but you noticed that your eyes were pulled to the centre. In the front, Ross and Laura were dancing together; Ross had his hand up, spinning Laura around and looking at her smiling. Laura's hair was floating around her in the spin, her eyes closed and a big open mouth smile was clearly noticeable on her face.
''Yeah, I wonder why.'' Raini teases them, laughing while Calum joins in. Laura rolls her eyes while looking at the other photos. In total were six photos chosen, three on the Empire State Building and three in Central Park. Raini picked up the second pile photos. ''Let's look at the Central Park photos, I'm dying to see how they turned out.''
The photos were sorted from start of the shoot, to finish. The first one showed them sitting on the snow covered bench, Laura leaning against Ross, both smiling towards the camera. Laura's bare legs were almost as white as the snow around them. It was the first of the three that made the cut.
''Cute one.'' Raini praised them and put it back. The next few were of them standing under the street light, looking into each other's eyes. This was before Ross defended Laura and they had worked extra fast. They skipped through them, hearing the occasional aww from either Raini or Calum, until they one particular was exposed. Raini and Laura gasped while Ross and Calum had their mouth hung open.
It showed the two under the street light, Laura's back pressed against it. Ross had his hands lightly touching Laura's cheeks while you could see Laura's hands firmly grabbing his scarf and pulling him down. Her eyes were fluttered closed, head slightly tilted back and her full lips slightly apart. Not even an inch apart were Ross's lips, closed and in a small smile, looking down at her adoringly.
''Wow, that's so romantic.'' Raini gushes and quickly checks the back for the black cross, which was indeed there. Laura just nods, still gaping at the picture and brings it closer to her face, inspecting every detail. On her long eyelashes she could see a tiny, lost snowflake. It must've snowed lightly, without them noticing. The bright red lipstick made her lips look even fuller and a small blush on her cheek showed the effect of her low body temperature. The studio light that illuminated them, showed the small dimple in Ross's cheek and the gleam in his eyes clearly.
''Look at us, Ross, we did great.'' Laura says and hands him the photo. He nods slowly in response and looks at it, swallowing noticeably. He can't believe that was them in the photo. Anyone would say the two people in the photo were in love, which was exactly what they tried to make them believe, right? So what seemed wrong here? Were they always this believable? He honestly couldn't remember thinking about forming that exact pose for the photo, which points out that the photo was as natural as it could be. Are they really that good actors? He knew he wasn't.
''Ross, you okay?'' Calum asks him suddenly and he abruptly drops the photo.
''Hmm?'' three pairs of eyes look at him, two curiously and one concerned. ''Oh, yeah. I'm fine.'' he casually coughs and picks up another photo to divert the attention.
''Hey, that's the third one.'' Laura points at the back and moves towards him to be able to see it better. This was the last photo the photographer had made, just after the lights went on and it began snowing. They're still in the same position as the other photo, only now the street light shines down on them. Their heads are tilted back, looking at the lantern, smiling widely while snowflakes land on their figures.
''That's a really good one.'' he hears her sigh next to his ear. He shifts his head slightly and sees her looking over his shoulder. He jumps a little when she grabs it from his hands and shows it to Calum and Raini. ''The writers did a good job choosing the photos, they're all amazing.''
''Let's watch the movie.'' Ross abruptly interrupts the rest and clears his throat which makes the others look up from the photo. He climbs off the bed and puts the DVD he brought in the TV. Soon the screen lights up as the movie starts.
''Dibs on couch!'' Raini and Calum yell at the same time and jump off the bed directly on the brown couch that was located directly at the foot of the bed, facing the TV. Rolling her eyes, Laura makes herself comfortable, laying on her belly towards the TV. She feels the bed slightly lower when a large figure settles next to her.
A large white pillow appears in front of her and she gratefully takes it, laying it in front of her to support her arms on. Making a comfortable support with her arms, she lays her head on front of it. Next to her, Ross looks at her tired form, chuckling and lays his arms on his pillow too, but holds himself up. Even though the bed is big, the two lay in the middle with only a few inches between their pillows.
''Moulin Rouge? Seriously?'' Laura looks up to see Ross smirking down at her. ''Oh, who am I kidding, I could've known.''
''You better stay awake to watch it all.'' he jokingly warns her in which she yawns as response.
''I'll try.''
The second scene hadn't ended yet or Ross noticed a way too calm Laura lying next to him. He checks on her and immediately realizes her eyes were closed, her mouth half open, releasing tiny sighs and even a mumbling once in a while if he focussed hard enough. He grins as he taps on Calum's shoulder and points at her.
The two on the couch turn around and immediately laugh at their sleeping friend on the comfortable bed. Raini widens her eyes, signalling an idea popped into her head.
''This is perfect.'' she says and grabs her phone from the couch support and opens the Instagram app. But instead of leaving it on photo mode, she taps the movie camera icon to switch it to video mode. She looks around and points the camera to herself and makes sure the rest fits in. She holds it, so that you can't see Laura and Ross just yet, just her and Calum and taps the big button.
''Hey guys, we were just watching a movie in Laura's room and look what happened after five minutes.'' Raini giggles while explaining the situation. Calum waves at the camera as she shifts the phone up to first capture Ross, who raises his eyebrows, shrugging while nodding at Laura. The camera then captures Laura's body and zooms in on her closed eyes. Suddenly, she frowns in her sleep, shifting her body and with still closed eyes, she moves a little to the left, her head resting on Ross's lower arm. She blindly gropes for something to hold and smiles when her hand find Ross's pulse and wraps it around his.
''So comfortable…'' she mumbles and continues sleeping, with her head leaning against Ross. Before anyone can respond, the white dot had reached the end of the grey line, telling them the video was at its maximum length. They stare at Laura and Ross's embrace, while Ross, himself, stares at Raini's phone.
''Should I…?'' Raini asks him, expecting him to tell her to delete it, but Ross shrugs his head.
''Nah, post it. I don't mind.'' and he turns his attention back to Laura. Raini exchanges a look with Calum.
''I know you won't, but Laura-'' she starts arguing but stops when she sees the smile laying on both of their lips. Laura is noticeably enjoying her current sleeping position while Ross smiles, looking down at her. She feels Calum nudging her and nodding his head towards something. Then she sees it. Laura's left hand, which was once sloppily wrapped around Ross's right pulse, was now palm to palm with his right hand, their fingers intertwined. Ross was, probably absentminded, rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand. Without thinking any further, she taps 'next', quickly choosing a good filter and writes a caption.
Late night movie party with the cast! Well at least ¾ of it… #WorkingNineToFive
Ally and Trish were hanging out at Trish's room after Stacy and Toby had left. It was already late at night, but Ally had to tell Trish about the whole Stacy thing.
''She did not do that! She messes with the wrong people.'' Trish states angrily, probably already planning revenge on the girl. Ally laughs at her while putting his arms on her shoulders to calm her down.
''Don't be like that Trish, maybe I overreacted. Besides, Austin and I already talked it out.'' at the same moment, from Ally's phone sounds a ping, telling her she received a message. Checking it, she furrows her eyebrows and a smile appears when she finishes it.
''See, she didn't even realize. She's such a sweet girl for apologizing. You saw the girl, she couldn't hurt a fly.'' Ally shows Trish the text, who reads it with one eyebrow raised, judgingly.
''Hey, Ally. Austin just texted me about today, I'm really sorry if I made you think I was trying to flirt with Austin, I really wasn't. This whole experience is just so new to me, I really want you guys to like me. I'll see you tomorrow! Xx- Stacy. Do you even believe this, Ally?'' Trish asks her, not believing any word in the text. The smile disappears from Ally's face.
''Well, yeah, of course! She apologizes and her reason makes total sense. She was just nervous.'' Ally defends her and starts to type a response text. Trish eyes her carefully.
''Just be careful, Ally. There's something about those two I don't like.''
AAAAHHHH that was a lot of fun
Bet you guys didn't expect that to happen, did ya
But whoever will carry Laura back into her bed?
Great question
Review your suspicions

I was so excited when I saw the alert in my email that there was a new chapter! This was so cute! My fav part was when Ross and Laura were getting their pics taken and it started to snow. That scene was just very sweet! Although picturing the scene where Ross was eavesdropping on Laura and Raini made me laugh! Can't wait to see what's next!
Oh! And here's a few more ideas... karaoke, a hockey game (or any sporting event), or a concert? Lol I'm thinking hard for ya girl! - Ugh, you sweet little angel, giving me ideas and stuff.
