Like I've said before, this story is completely fiction and all my own thinking! Thanks so much for all the reviews/favorites/follows and for reading! I really appreciate it! Hope you enjoy!
"You almost ready, babe?" Troian asked her girlfriend as she sat on Shay's bed.
"Yeah, just grabbing my shoes; are they here yet?" She asked as she peeked out of her closet to look at the brunette sitting on her bed.
"They should be here any minute." She said right as she heard the front door opening.
"We're here, you lovebirds! I hope you two are both decent because we're walking to your room now." Ashley shouted loudly as she walked through the house.
"That was a lovely entrance." Troian said as Ashley poked her head into Shay's room slowly.
"Oh good, you're both dressed."
"Of course we are! We knew that you two were coming over. Hi, Tyler." Shay said from the entrance to her closet as she noticed him lurking behind Ashley, not wanting to walk straight into her room like his girlfriend had.
"Don't give me that bull, Mitchell! I've heard plenty about your sex life, you little horndog. I wouldn't be surprised if you did the dirty deed right before you got changed." Ashley smirked as she watched Troian blush and avoid eye contact.
"Can we please be done with this conversation?" Tyler asked from the doorframe as Troian nodded vigorously.
"Yeah, are you ready to go grab dinner?" Shay said as she grabbed her purse from its place next to Troian before she grabbed the brunette's hand and pulled her up off the bed.
"That really good Thai restaurant just down the road, right?" Troian asked since she was the one that would be driving.
"That's the one, babe." Shay said as they all filed down the hall and out the front door.
"So we need to do this more often." Ashley said after the whole table stopped laughing at one of the dry comments Troian had said.
"Definitely." Shay and Troian agreed.
"It's always a blast hanging out with you three, that's for sure." Tyler added as he squeezed Ashley's leg under the table.
"You need to let your hilarious side out more often in interviews, Troi. People would flip." Ashley suggested as Troian smiled.
"So who else is totally stoked about this movie? Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy together in one movie? It's going to be amazing." Troian said after she finished a bite of her food.
"Oh for sure, my head is going to hurt after all of the laughing that I'll be doing." Ashley agreed with a laugh.
"So how's it going with you guys? On and off screen?" Tyler asked since he hadn't seen the two girls in a while.
"Things are amazing in my life right now." Shay answered as she looked lovingly at Troian, who returned her gaze with as much love.
"Same. Everything has been beyond incredible lately. Relationship is fantastic and work is just as fun as ever, so I couldn't be happier." Troian replied with a huge smile on her face as Shay grabbed her hand under the table.
"Good, I'm really happy for you guys. It was about time you two got together, too." Tyler added as Troian laughed.
"That obvious?" Shay asked as Tyler turned and looked at Troian knowingly.
"That, and the fact that your girlfriend asked for my advice about the whole situation."
"She did?" Shay and Ashley both asked.
"I did. Like a month before we started dating I think?" She looked at Tyler for confirmation.
"What did she say?" Shay asked, wanting to know.
"She was just freaking out because you were both single and the flirting had been stepped up, and she didn't know if she should go for it or not."
"What'd you tell her?" Ashley asked as she leaned in, engrossed in the story.
"Well I obviously told her to go for it." He said with a smile.
"I was just worried that something would go wrong with us and then it would be tense and uncomfortable for everyone on set. And I thought there was a possibility that you didn't actually like me like that and you were just very flirty."
"Not a chance; I've had it in for you since like day 1; I'm not kidding." Shay said and they both wished that they could kiss each other in that moment, but they both refrained.
"I would've thought that you would've gone to Lucy for relationship advice." Shay pondered out loud.
"I love that girl, but she tends to let things slip out of excitement, and I didn't want that getting back to you if I decided not to do anything about it. But Tyler was perfect, he got me to take the chance because he said that it worked out really well for him." She said as she watched Ashley break out into the biggest smile.
"He did?" The blonde asked happily.
"He did." Troian confirmed with a smile, "About a month into you two getting together."
The group continued with their story time, all of them laughing and hearing new things from each other until it was time to leave for the movie.
"Oh my gosh, that was possibly one of the funniest movies I've ever seen." Ashley managed to spit out as she and Shay stumbled into each other in laughter as they exited the theater.
Troian and Tyler smiled fondly as they watched their girlfriends laugh and walk ahead of them with their arms linked.
"So when are you going to do it?" He asked quietly.
"Soon, I think. I just need to find the right time. Probably at least another month though, I'd guess."
"I'm happy for you, Bellisario." He said as he nudged her shoulder.
"Thank you. And I'm happy for you two, it looks like you've got a great thing going with Miss Benson."
"We definitely do." He added as he smiled fondly in the blonde's direction.
Once they all got into the car, Troian started driving them back to Shay's house as they all listened to music and Shay and Ashley sang and danced along with the radio.
Shay and Troian walked back into Shay's house after they watched Ashley and Tyler drive off in Tyler's car.
"So I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I think we should come out soon. What do you think?" Troian blurted out as she got ready for bed.
"I think that would be really nice." Shay said with a sincere smile growing on her face, "How should we do it though?"
"I think we should just pick the moment when it feels right. No hurry, no necessary pre-planning." Troian said as she placed her arms over Shay's shoulders and looked into her eyes.
"That sounds good with me. Oh, and I talked to my parents yesterday and they're sending Foxy out here for a week when they're on vacation." Shay said excitedly.
"Really? That's awesome! When is she coming in?" Troian asked before she leaned forward to peck her girlfriend's lips and then walk to her side of the bed.
"Wednesday. I don't have any scenes that day, so I'll be free to pick her up at the airport."
"That's awesome. I would totally go to the airport with you, but I have to work."
"That's fine. Oh, and my parents want to talk and figure out if you still wanted to go meet them in person over the hiatus."
"Of course I do. Tell me when and where and I'll be there."
The next morning, Troian woke up early and went to a Pilates class in LA while she let her girlfriend sleep. She got back to Shay's house around 10am with coffee and breakfast for the raven-haired girl.
Shay was sitting up in her bed, Skyping with her parents when she heard the front door open.
"Oh, Troian must be back." Shay said as she listened for her girlfriend to say something. "Troian?" She yelled out questioningly when she didn't hear anything.
"Morning, babe!" She shouted back from the kitchen, where she set down the assortment of muffins and bagels she had picked up.
"So when are we meeting the fabulous Troian in person?" Shay's dad asked, since they had already been introduced via Skype and have had multiple conversations together.
"Soon; we are in the process of planning a trip to visit you guys." Shay confirmed with a smile.
"I didn't know you were up already; I brought breakfast." The brunette said as she walked into Shay's bedroom, handing her a cup of coffee and kissing her forehead.
"Thanks, T. Yeah, I've been up for a little while, I'm just talking to my parents." She said, pointing to the computer on her lap.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't know! Hi Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell!" Troian said as she stepped in closer to Shay and leaned into their line of vision, "It's nice to see you both again. I'll leave you three to talk."
"Oh, nonsense. Come sit down and chat for a few minutes." Shay's dad said as Troian looked at her girlfriend cautiously.
Shay pulled her down onto the bed next to her, not minding that she was all sweaty from Pilates. Sunday was her laundry day anyways, so she'd just throw the sheets in with her other clothes.
"Sorry I'm all sweaty, I just got back from a Pilates class." She told her girlfriend's parents with a shy smile. "How are you two doing? Looking forward to your cruise?" She asked, remembering that Shay said they were heading onto a cruise, which is why they were sending Shay her dog.
"We're both doing well, honey. We are definitely looking forward to our cruise! I'm almost all packed, except this one hasn't even gotten his suitcase out yet." Shay's mom said as she pointed to Shay's dad, causing them all to laugh.
"I'll get to it eventually!" Her dad assured them, causing them all to smile, "Anyways, Shay was just telling us that you are planning to come out to Vancouver with her to meet us soon."
"That is true! I'm hoping to come out there on our hiatus in a few months, if that's alright?" She said, not wanting to be pushy.
"Of course that's alright, we'd love to meet you in person." They both assured her as Shay sat back and took a sip of her coffee with a smile on her face.
"Hey, can we continue this Skype date some other time? I'm getting really hungry." Shay said once her parents were done talking.
"Of course, we'll talk to you both soon." Her mom assured them.
"Perfect! Love you guys. I'll call you Tuesday night to confirm everything with Foxy." She said with a smile.
"Okay, sweetie. Troian, take care of our little girl for us and don't work to hard."
"Will do." She answered with a smile and a nod.
Troian sat there quietly as Shay shut her laptop and set it on her bedside table before turning to look at the brunette.
"They really like you, you know?" Shay said as she leaned over and placed a light kiss on Troian's cheek.
"You think so?" She asked quietly.
"Oh, definitely. They were asking all about you before you walked in. Thank you for the coffee and breakfast, by the way."
"Of course. Muffins and bagels are on the kitchen island for the both of us, and Michaela if she wants some." Troian added as she looked at Shay's smiling face.
"You're really sweaty still, why don't you do something about it? You should lock the door." She suggested with a smirk as Troian quickly stood up to shut and lock the door.
"How is this going to help the sweaty situation?" Troian asked as she walked back over to Shay with a huge smile on her face.
"Well, then we'll both be sweaty and we can have a nice shower together, then some breakfast." She said as she reached out for Troian who was standing at the side of her bed.
Shay pulled her into a passionate kiss as Troian pushed her back on the bed, so she was straddling the tanned girl.
"Is it weird that I always think you're incredibly attractive after you work out?" Shay asked as Troian started kissing her neck.
"No, I always think you look hot during and after your workout." She answered before she connected their lips again.
