Hey everyone!
Amazing to be able to post another chapter, a little later than planned sorry!
I've been writing non stop for 3 days straight, and started another one today so I've got a good bunch ready to post whenever I want
School has been very kind to me, because of senior exams a lot of classes got cancelled, leaving this girl with waaaaay too much free time. Good thing I know how to spend it
Some of you have pointed this out to me, I'm so stupid; last chapter, in the movie scene, instead of Trish I used Raini uuuuugh…. Stupid mistake, I'll be fixing it as soon as I posted this chapter
You're gonna like this a lot a lot. Except if you hate strong T. Then I advise you not to read. Whatever just read
Ross pulls Laura with him as she follows, giggling loudly. She covers her mouth with her hand, squeezing her eyes shut. Ross's laughter abruptly stops as he stands still, making Laura bump into his back. When she steps to the side to be able to see past Ross, she sees what made him quiet.
Around the round table, the crew watches them with judging, narrowing eyes. They scan the people, trying to dodge their disappointed stares as they find Calum and Raini, looking at them with a cheeky grin.
''An explanation for why you're both 30 minutes late?'' Kevin asks them clearly, the rest of the table cutting off their conversations to pay full attention to the two. They look at each other a second before looking back at Kevin.
''This is completely my fault, guys. I took Laura somewhere last night and it got late, we had trouble getting out of bed this morning. I take full responsibility,'' he defends Laura as he rubs his thumb over the back of her hand. Heath shakes his head slightly as he stands up, putting his hands on the edge of the table and leaning towards them.
''That's no excuse. Listen, I don't want to be bossy guy here, but someone has to do it. This was the kind of thing we meant with you being together getting in the way of your acting. Being this late to the meeting is unprofessional. It's not a big deal now, but make sure it won't happen again.''
''Don't worry, it won't. We'll just grab something quickly and head upstairs again to get ready. We're sorry,'' Laura apologizes as she lets go of Ross's hand and walks towards the two empty chairs. Kevin and Heath gesture everyone to stand up before walking out of the restaurant. Calum and Raini are the last ones to get up.
''It got late, huh?'' Raini whispers in Laura's ear as she lays her napkin over her empty plate, just as Laura sits down next to her. She gasps before hitting Raini's shoulder with her own.
''Not like that, oh my god!'' Raini shrugs lightly before walking away with Calum at her side. Laura grabs a bagel, still blushing while Ross pours them both a glass orange juice. Next to them, three staff members are cleaning up a table. Their conversation goes by unnoticed by the two until the topic changes.
''Have you heard about the rooftop thing?'' one of them asks the others as she wipes the crumbs from the white cloth. Laura's eyes widen as she stops chewing to look at Ross. He doesn't seem to hear the conversation as he keeps filling his bagel. Laura taps his shoulder, making him look up, and subtly nods towards the three before taking another bite. The two colleagues shake their heads, asking the girl to explain.
''Turns out David was doing his morning routine and on the 53rd floor he noticed the door to the pool being wide open. The whole rooftop was covered with the spare pillows, pizza boxes and ice cream containers,'' she tells them in which they look at her in disbelief. She nods in response as she continues to describe the scene in detail. Laura keeps listening before she hears a suppressed laughter next to her. She looks to her right to see Ross practically choking on his food, hiding his smile behind his hand.
''Stop it!'' Laura giggles as she pricks her elbow in his side, making him laugh even louder. The three hotel staff members next to them look their way for a second before getting back to their conversation. ''You're drawing their attention to us.''
''And the weirdest part; there were pizza crusts in the pool, like, ten of them,'' this one comment makes Laura chuckle as she's taking a large sip from her orange juice, making her break out in a coughing fit. Ross's laughter gets louder as he now mainly laughs at Laura.
''Who's drawing attention now?'' he chuckles as he finishes his bagel in one big bite. Laura continuously hits his arm as she keeps coughing loudly.
''I need to get out of here.''
''Right behind ya,'' he helps her up before he watches her run out of the restaurant.
''I guess there was some kind of party going on there last night. I just don't understand how they managed to break in,'' a guy wonders out loud, making the others shrug. Ross runs after Laura before letting his held in laughter escape once he's out of sound range.
When he sees Laura already standing in the elevator, he runs towards it. As soon as she notices him running her way, she starts hitting the 'close' button repeatedly. The doors close instantly, slowly, as she sees his face covered in disbelief. Giggling, she waves at him before sending an air kiss through the ever smaller getting crack. With only a few inches left, Laura relaxes against the back, smiling to herself.
Her smile fades when she sees two, strong hands appearing between the two silver doors, pushing them open slowly. Laura gapes at him as he stands in the opening, his hands on the two sides, blocking the entrance completely.
''Didn't think you could get rid of me that easily, did you,'' she chuckles before grabbing one hand to pull him inside. Walking backwards, she grabs his face to pull him closer to her as she presses her lips on his. With closed eyes, she blindly gropes for the right button to push. She hears the doors automatically close before letting go of Ross.
''I thought you were gonna clean up the rooftop before anyone would find out?'' she wraps her arms around his neck as she looks him in the eyes with a smile. Ross bites his lip before looking up innocently.
''I was gonna do it, but who knows how early that guy's morning routine was. I never would've been there before him. And the lock was already forced,'' he keeps making up excuses as he plays with the hem of her shirt. She laughs at him as she pushes him away, shaking her head.
Ross was sitting in the big chair that was placed in his room, his back facing the door, reading through his script for the next day. Already wearing his comfortable pyjamas; a simple shirt and sweats, he runs a hand through his hair before supporting his head with it. A soft knock breaks his concentration.
''It's me,'' a small voice lets him know.
''It's open,'' and he hears the door open slowly, to be closed right after. Next thing he knows, two small arms are wrapped around his neck from behind. Laura's chin rests on his shoulder as she studies the script he's holding.
''Watcha doin'?'' he hears her ask while getting up again, walking around the chair.
''Learning the script, what are you doing here?'' Laura walks towards the desk, lifting multiple things, searching for something, before grabbing a stack of papers.
''I left my script here,'' she turns around, walking past the big chair in which Ross watches her before a grip around her pulse made her stop. Looking back, she sees Ross looking over his shoulder, pulling her in front him.
''Can't you stay a little longer? We can read through our scene,'' he pouts as she giggles at him before turning her gaze to him serious. She bends over the chair, her arms supporting her upper body on the arm rests, she leans close to him.
''But then I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of you,'' she eyes him as she uses a low, soft voice. Noticing his Adam's apple move in his throat, she smiles cockily before standing straight again like nothing happens and turns around, ''But seriously, you won't be serious if I stay, I know you.''
''That wasn't the answer I was looking for,'' she feels his arms wrap around her waist before being pulled backwards, landing on his lap. He shoves one arm under her knees to make her turn, laying her legs over one arm rest and letting her back rest against the other. Laura squeals as she catches her balance by putting her hands on his shoulders.
''You can't be serious,'' she shakes her head, closing her eyes and tries to get up from his lap. His arms are still wrapped around her waist, making it unable for her to escape. With every struggle, his grab tightens. She wiggles her legs giggly, trying everything to make him let her go.
''I'm very serious,'' he whispers as he snuggles his face in her hair. ''You can go when we read through the entire scene, then I'll let you go.''
''Fine, but we do it my way, professionally. No distractions,'' unable to look at him as he keeps snuggling in her curls, she lectures him. She feels him nod and make accepting noises.
''No distractions,'' his voice gets muffled and she hears the absentmindedness, knowing he doesn't care what she just said. His lips find the skin of her neck through her curls, giving it small pecks. She gets lost in the touch before coming to realization quickly and grabs his script from his hand to let it land on the top of his head.
He winces before covering the hurt place with one hand. She uses this moment of weakness for another attempt to escape from his grip. Noticing it quickly, he replaces both his hands to where they once were. Huffing, she gives up eventually.
''Stop distracting me!'' she exclaims and Ross holds up his hands in innocence, promising he wouldn't do it again. Her script ended somewhere on the ground in front of the chair after it fell when she got pulled back, making them have to share a script. She opens it and pages through, trying to find the right page. While he waits, Ross lays his hand over her hip, caressing the bare skin between her jeans and top with his thumb as he squeezes her hip over the fabric.
''Down,'' she slaps his hand away, making him chuckle and let go of her hip. She shows him the right page so he can read it with her, ''Here it is. Serious.''
''So what did Trish come up with?'' Ross reads his line, his voice going up slightly, making him sound like Austin more. Laura smiles contently before reading hers.
''She has some pretty good ideas. Even though she didn't had to use her magic, she's still got it,'' Laura smiles as she changes her voice too, to make it more Ally-like.
''You'd think that, but when I accidently took a sip of her smoothie a few days ago, she put salt in mine. Ruined smoothies forever,'' Ross pouts, making her laugh. The read through goes smoothly, surprising Laura until a familiar jingle plays. Laura excuses herself before checking her phone, seeing her mother's name on the screen.
''What happened to no distractions, Miss Marano?'' Ross teases her as he pricks her side. She shushes him before picking up.
''Mom? Hey!'' greeting her mom, she tries to get up, but Ross's arms are still making it unable. She looks at him with pleading eyes before covering the microphone with her hand.
''Can I please stand?'' she whispers as she listens to her mom talking to her through the phone. He thinks for a moment before giving her a simple 'nope' as answer. She rolls her eyes before making herself comfortable in the chair, figuring she needs to spend some time in it. She always likes to walk around the room when talking to someone, it makes her think better, but today is not a day she can do that.
As she talks to her mom about casual things, how she's doing, how everyone at home is doing, Laura looks to her left, finding Ross unusually quiet. She sees him smiling at her and subtly admiring her profile. Shrugging to herself, she focusses on the conversation again.
Just as she's about to answer a question, her voice is cut off. Ross's lips had found her neck again and are now nipping at her flesh, caressing all the skin. Her eyes flutter shut for a moment before the voice on the other end of the line wakes her up, reminding her with the same question.
''Oh, yeah. Well, it w-would be great if you'd be there, ah… Around s-seven,'' she stutters, unable to think clearly with Ross still kissing and biting her neck in different spots. He moves up a little bit to start placing small kisses on and around her earlobe. Laura tilts her head back, enjoying every touch. ''No, I'm fine, I'm good. So good…''
Ross chuckles against her skin as he keeps giving it open-mouth kisses. She quickly ends the phone call before she could embarrass herself any more and looks at Ross with narrowing eyes. He had stopped her actions as soon as she hung up and was now looking at him with a big grin.
''What were you thinking? That was my mother!'' she starts hitting him with the rolled up script on his head, shoulders and chest. With crossed arms, he tries to block her attacks while laughing loudly.
''Hey, you gave into distractions, I could give into mine. And you're my distraction,'' he gives her a cheeky grin before giving her another kiss on the lips.
''You're ridiculous, she could've heard everything,'' she disapproves, but can't help but giggle. ''Now, let's finish this scene so we can go to bed.''
He laughs at her double meaning sentence, making her hit him again. As they finish the scene, Laura notices Ross saying his lines faster and faster. Just before she has to say her last line, leaving Ross one more after her, she stops. When he notices the silence he wasn't expecting, he looks at her with begging eyes.
''Are you in a hurry?'' Ross groans when she keeps stalling the reading. Smiling, she awaits his answer which never comes. ''Finishing the reading doesn't mean you get to attack me again.''
He blinks a few times as Laura finishes her last line. He quickly says his before leaning in to kiss Laura. She turns her head quickly, making his lips land on her cheek. He doesn't mind this time, though, as he just keeps kissing all the skin her can reach.
''Okay, enough is enough. You said you'd let me go once we finished,'' she reminds him knowingly. He shrugs as he knows she's right before letting her go. She stands up, stretching her back for the first time in a while as she whispers to herself, ''Damn, you're like an animal.''
''Hunt you down eat you alive,'' he sings to her as he stretches his legs, staying seated in the chair. Laura picks up her script from the floor before walking past him.
''G'night,'' she tells him bluntly, grinning to herself before looking over her shoulder to see him look at her with pleading eyes. Figuring she teased him enough, she walks back. He turns his cheek towards her to gesture where he wants the goodnight kiss. She leans in but is surprised when he turns his head towards her last second, making her lips crash on his. With a long, slow kiss, they tell each other goodnight before climbing in their own beds, smiling widely.
That's a lotta Raura right there
They're becoming more cheeky around each other, aren't they? Like it, hate it? Lemme know!
Reminder: KEEP VOTING FOR ROSS AND LAURA! The show is more than 100k ahead of the other shows, so we're guessing they don't need a lot of help. Ross and Laura are in trouble tho, only being ahead several thousand votes. Please vote on twitter or even better online whenever you have time!
