"Shay, it'll be fine." Ashley assured her friend as they stood back, watching Troian shoot the scene with the nerd from the college that Emily and Spencer were visiting.
"I know, I just hate fighting with her."
"It's on the show, you dork! You two aren't fighting in real life!" Ashley laughed as Shay shrugged.
"Yeah, I know. It feels like it though. I look at that face though and I just can't be mad at her." Shay whispered as she looked at Troian intently.
"I seem to remember a few times when you called me up, fuming, because she had done something to piss you off."
"Not very often though! We would talk it out and move on, and I wouldn't be mad anymore."
They had just turned back to the camera in time to watch Troian ad-lib her line.
"A lannister always pays its debts." She said, earning a big smile from Shay and a scoff from Ashley.
"You would like the lannisters." The nerd shot back before she leaned against the table and began her retort.
"I can recite the entire Targarian speech from the end of season 1, but I will not waste my breath." She exclaimed before she stormed off and the director yelled 'cut,' before everyone started laughing.
"Man, I love her so much, it's ridiculous." Shay breathed out dreamily as Ashley smiled.
"I noticed. She feels the same, you know?" The blonde said, bumping her shoulder into Shay's.
"I do. And that makes me the happiest I've ever been." The tanned girl said with the biggest smile.
After one take of the Spencer and Emily argument scene outside of the sorority house, the director 'cut' and finished that scene because they had done it so well.
They had practiced their lines earlier when they were on break, and they had been hoping to do it in as few takes as possible because they both felt like they were actually in a fight, and they didn't like that feeling.
"So since we finished that scene a lot earlier than expected, how about we grab some dinner and curl up for a Game of Thrones marathon?" Shay asked as she walked into Troian's dressing room after she had finished changing out of her 'Emily' clothes.
"Oh, I would, babe, but I have plans with Nick. I should've told you earlier, but it slipped my mind." Troian said, feeling badly.
"Oh don't worry about it. We can have the GOT marathon another night! Have fun with your brother! Do you want me to drop you off at his place?"
"No, thanks though. We can just go back to yours and then I'll grab my car and go."
"Alright. I'm ready when you are, babe." Shay said as she looked back to her girlfriend who was finishing collecting all of her stuff.
Since the next morning was a Saturday, Shay got to sleep in for the first time all week, something she definitely took advantage of.
When she got up, she opened her computer, getting ready to Skype her parents who were now back from vacation and had Foxy back. She was just about to log on when she noticed one of the top stories on her yahoo pages.
Could this be the end of Shay and Troian already? The two Pretty Little Liars stars were seen yelling at each other on set yesterday, and then last night Troian was seen hugging a girl outside of Katsuya, sans Shay. Pictures inside.
Shay groaned as she clicked on the link to read the full article and look at the pictures before she shook her head and then logged onto Skype.
Meanwhile, Troian had been awake for a few hours and had already gone to a yoga class when she heard her phone ringing.
"Hey Ashley, what's up?" She asked as she walked over to her coffee machine.
"Don't 'Hey, Ashley' me, Miss Bellisario!" The blonde said angrily, causing Troian to furrow her eyebrows in confusion.
"Something wrong there, Benson?" The brunette asked as she got a coffee mug out of her kitchen cabinet.
"Are you kidding me, Troian? Of course something is! How could you be this dense?"
"Well apparently I am, can you please tell me what I did?"
"Why don't you think about what you were doing last night? You are such a loyal person, how could you do this to Shay? I thought you loved her?"
"I do! I have no idea what's wrong, Ashley! Why are you acting like a crazed girlfriend though?"
"Have you not heard from Shay yet about this?"
"About what? Just tell me what the hell I apparently did."
"Who was this girl you were with last night?"
"What girl?" Troian asked tiredly, "Oh, Sarah?" She guessed in confusion.
"Oh, so this skank has a name?" Ashley bit out as Troian shook her head.
"Ashley, I honestly have no idea why you're so upset." Troian said as she rubbed her forehead.
"Why are you hanging out with this skank instead of your girlfriend on a Friday night?"
"That 'skank' is my brother's GIRLFRIEND. Nick and I had plans last night, so I went over to his place and then he told me that he wanted me to meet his girlfriend to see what I think of her." Troian all but yelled at her friend.
"Oh." Was all the blonde said as Troian nodded her head, even though Ashley couldn't see her.
"Yeah. And do you want to know the first thing I did after he asked me to meet her? I called MY girlfriend to see if she wanted to go out to dinner with us, but she and Michaela were already elbow deep in some pizza and wine. Do you honestly believe that I would be stupid enough to cheat on her? Give me a little more credit." Troian said, starting to get pissed off.
"You're right, I'm sorry. I just got really worked up because I don't want to see either of you get hurt."
"And I thank you for that. But maybe you could not jump to conclusions next time and let me give you the full story first."
"Yeah, I guess I could do that." The blonde said slowly.
"You'll never believe who I just got an angry phone call from." Troian said as she walked into Shay's house.
"Who?" Shay asked from her spot on the couch.
"Your good friend, Ashley." Troian said with a laugh.
"Uh oh. What did she do now?" Shay asked with a grimace.
"How do you know she did something?"
"Because you just called her 'my' good friend, and you only do that when you're somewhat upset with her. Otherwise you call her 'our' good friend. Or just 'Ashley.'" She added with a laugh.
"Well, I salute you for paying such close attention. And she just bitched me out about hugging 'some skank' instead of hanging out with you."
"She didn't." Shay said, hoping that Ashley hadn't just yelled at Troian.
"Oh, but she did. I explained to her the real story though." The brunette said as she went and sat down next to her girlfriend, leaving a lingering kiss on Shay's cheek.
"Good. How was Sarah? I'm bummed that I didn't get to meet her last night, but Michaela and I had already set a list of things we were going to do."
"Oh, that's totally fine, it was really late notice anyways. She's really sweet though. Nick is definitely smitten. We can go on a double date at some point." Troian offered as Shay nodded with a smile.
Later that afternoon, the girls were curled up with each other on Shay's couch, watching Game of Thrones and eating popcorn. Shay looked over at Troian when she was about to say something, but stopped when she noticed that Troian was reciting the words along with the characters.
Troian eventually felt Shay staring at her, so she turned to her with an uneasy smile.
"Yes?"
"I just really love you, that's all." The raven-haired girl said as Troian smiled brightly.
"I love you too, babe." She replied, leaning forward for a simple kiss on the lips before they both turned back to watching GOT.
