Disclaimer: I don't own Zac

Amanda sat down at the table slamming her notebook down "I can't believe her" she said flustered and upset. Zac sat down across from her "I can't believe it either, I'm surprised she didn't fire you" He chuckled at what had happened earlier that day as he opened the menu.

Amanda rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest "well she deserved it" Zac closed the menu and looked over at her "Did she really deserve a soda in the face?" He saw that Amanda was smiling "that was a good one though" she said taking the menu off the table. Zac nodded in agreement "yeah it was" he smiled "so I'm sure you have worked up an appetite now"

Amanda nodded and looked down at the menu but closed it "you know what really pisses me off" she said still angry "is that she could say those things to me, she pretty much told me I would never make it in this business but here I am slaving over her ridiculous orders just to make her happy" Amanda was throwing her hands around to look more dramatic but all she made Zac do was laugh "do you even feel the least bit sorry for me?" she asked pointing to herself.

Zac stopped laughing "I would feel even more sorry if you got fired but you didn't so order something" he pointed up to the waitress who was star struck but was also starring at Amanda who was embarrassed because she must of looked like an idiot to her "Uhm just water please" she said quietly as she slouched down in her seat.

Zac looked up at the waitress "two waters" he said smiling as she walked away.

He looked back over at Amanda whose face was red "awh c'mon you didn't look that stupid" he said trying to calm her down.

Just earlier that day Amanda had been yelled at by her boss causing her to throw the soda that she was holding in her face. The whole crew was watching and they even stopped the scene that's when Zac saw it. He stood there and laughed as Amanda's boss wiped at her face, he remembered Amanda's expression as she stood there smiling at her little victory before she was kicked off the set and then here they were sitting down for lunch

"So are you planning on apologizing to her?" he asked as the waitress came back with their waters. She was so nervous that she almost spilt the waters on his lap. She smiled and laughed nervously as she flipped through her book "what can I get for you guys?" she asked as she looked towards Amanda.

Amanda smiled up at her "I'm fine thanks" still frustrated she looked back down at the table staring at a water spot. "Okay…" Zac said clapping his hands together "sorry for my rude friend over here" Zac said motioning towards Amanda with his hands "Can we just get a plate of fries?" the waitress smiled and he winked at her before she walked away. He watched her walk over to another young waitress who was probably waiting for every detail that had just happened.

"Oh my god you were checking her out" he heard Amanda say as he looked back over at her. "No I wasn't" he said shaking his head and putting the menu at the end of the table. Amanda snickered "you're unbelievable"

"Why thank you" Zac said being fresh as he took a sip of water "and no I'm not planning on apologizing, she got what she deserved" Amanda snapped back looking down at her water.

"Now see your really bringing down my mood" Zac said smirking over at her as she fiddled with the straw wrapper. "sorry but as you can tell I kind of snapped today" Zac started to laugh "Oh I noticed and so did the whole film crew" Amanda started to laugh too "yeah good times…" the plate of French fries was set down in front of them and Amanda took a fry still smiling.

Amanda was fighting with her boss again and she knew she was on the edge. The day before didn't go to good and now this day was shaping up to go the same way. Zac stood there with his arms crossed smirking as he watched the whole fight take place. He had just taken a step out of his trailer when he heard the yelling and no surprise it was Amanda and her boss at it again.

It was only seven in the morning so the sun hadn't even really risen in the sky yet which made the shade cover the whole set. Already Zac was dirtied up with mud caked into his hair and blood running down his face. They were shooting the ending scene even though it was the fourth day on set. For some reason it always worked that way it's like you film the movie backwards.

Amanda clenched her teeth and tried to calm down "Look if you stop barking orders at me and treat me with respect then this drink won't end up on your face again" she said angrily lifting up the open bottle of water as her boss stepped back defeated "Fine just don't push me trainee or I will push back" her boss said walking away as Amanda called out "Oh yeah we'll see about that"

Feeling proud she took a sip of water and sighed she had finally won. She stood there but then spun around when she heard someone clapping "good job way to stand up for yourself" Zac said giving her props, she really wasn't going to be pushed around he thought as he dropped his hands.

Amanda smiled and bowed "why thank you" she started to giggle as she put the cap on the bottle "So I can tell your already in character or is that how you look without any make-up on?"

"ha-ha your funny" he said walking past her towards the buffet table "I have you know we are filming a very important scene, this is a scene where I actually kick some ass" he smiled and handed her a muffin "you deserve it" Amanda took it "thanks" she said quietly as she un wrapped it.

"Zac about yesterday I didn't mean too…"

"Forgotten history" he said shoving a grape in his mouth even though he thought about what happened all last night.

Amanda gave a weak smile and nodded "good because I didn't want things to be awkward between us"

She started to think about what happened as she focused on the blue cloth on the table

Zac had walked her home and Amanda being upset had mistakenly taken a hug as a move to make out so when Amanda kissed him and Zac pulled away she felt a little stupid, mixed signals was all but she still felt weird about it.

Zac picked up an apple and rubbed it on his shirt cleaning it. Amanda shook her head trying to forget, she was about to speak again but stopped herself when Zac was pulled away by one of his co-stars "c'mon lover we have a scene to shoot" the bimbo blonde said flirtatiously. Amanda rolled her eyes and took a bite of the muffin.

His co-star Tiffany was a total airhead actress, like Jessica Simpson but with smaller boobs. She had always bugged Amanda since this chick flirted with absolutely everybody "sometimes I think she slept with the director to get in this movie" Amanda startled jumped back dropping her muffin. The voice laughed as they picked up the dropped muffin "sorry to scare you I just felt the need to state my opinion"

Amanda smiled as she took the muffin looking up. His Name was Jesse McCartney and he was in the movie too as a friend or something but Amanda didn't care what part he played she was too busy staring in to his eyes.

"well I think we share the same mind because I was just thinking that" Amanda said looking over at her. She was jumping up and down squealing and looking like an idiot apparently Zac must have just told a good joke.

Jesse smiled as he took a muffin "hey you're the girl who flipped out on her boss yesterday aren't you" he said pointing at Amanda and laughing "I give you props" he said took a bite of the muffin and finished chewing before talking again "I would of never had the guts to do what you did. Amanda's cheeks turned red as she looked down at her feet "well your not like me see I don't think anybody would treat you like the way my boss treats me" Amanda looked up and smiled. Jesse looked over at the director who was calling his name "well I got to go but before I do you have a little something right there…" he took his thumb and wiped a crumb from the corner of her lips "there now you don't look half bad" he laughed and winked as he walked past her towards the set.

Her face was flushed as she watched him walk away did that just happen she said touching the same spot he just touched.
