Disclaimer: I don't own Zac

Amanda sighed as she took a bite out of her sandwich. It was her break time which meant the day was only half over even if she wanted to go home now she couldn't. She looked up at everyone else who was having lunch and she felt like a loser because she was eating by herself. Her boss was talking to the director about something and all the actors were probably eating roast chicken on a big fancy dinner table in an air conditioned trailer.

Zac stepped out of the trailer looking around. It was a little cloudy today so he didn't have to worry about burning like a crisp or sweating embarrassingly. He walked past the other trailers making his way up to the set.

"Hey" he said sitting down next to Amanda whose mouth was full of food. She gulped down the food and smiled "hi"

Amanda placed the sandwich down on the table "so how's the scene going?" she asked staring down at her sandwich Zac nodded "going good we're almost finished for the day so we might be able to leave early so be happy that I am such an amazing actor who can finish scenes quickly" He laughed as she rolled her eyes "oh please full of yourself much"

"So are you doing anything tonight?" he asked looking over at her changing the subject. Amanda had an eyebrow raised as she answered "are you planning on asking me out" she said giggling and taking another bite of her sandwich. Its funny most girls feel weird eating in front of other people especially guys but Amanda wasn't like that she could finish a whole roast beef in front of a guy if she wanted to without feeling weird.

Zac nodded and thought about her question "yeah I guess you could say that" Amanda's heart was racing never in her life has she ever been asked out by someone famous especially a hot someone.

"It's a club in town everybody here is going so I thought being the nice guy that I am would ask you so you can feel special"

Amanda laughed "you're making me sound like a loser"

Zac was about to defend himself but turned his head when he heard his name being called. It was the director telling him he was needed in make-up.

Zac nodded and stood up "so I'll pick you up at eight?" he said backing up towards the make-up trailer. Amanda smiled and nodded "yeah eight's good" He winked and waved goodbye before he turned around and jogged towards the trailer. Amanda couldn't help but smile for the rest of the day, she now had the power to completely ignore every word coming out of her bosses mouth, she was head over heals for this guy.

Zac got out of his car and walked up Amanda's walkway meeting her halfway. He wasn't at all nervous probably because he looked at Amanda as just a friend and not much else. Yeah she looked beautiful right now in her dress and she was smart and funny but every girl Zac knows is like that it's hard to fall for somebody this early in the game.

"You look amazing" Zac said being polite and charming he always loved to woo girls with his words. Amanda blushed and looked down at herself feeling ridiculous for even wearing a dress. "it's not to much?" she asked looking back up at him. Zac smiled and shook his head "no at all" he stuck out his arm for her to grab "c'mon let's get out of here"

Amanda wrapped her arm around his and let him lead her down towards his car. This is a too good to be true kind of night and with Amanda's imagination she would hope it would end how she wanted.

The club was packed and the music was vibrating the ground as they stepped inside. Zac first spotted Tiffany dancing near a table where the rest of them were sitting. "Their over there" Zac said yelling over at Amanda so she could hear. She nodded and followed him through the crowd. She couldn't really see but she felt Zac grab on to her hand so they wouldn't be separated. She was pulled and pushed by people but she kept a firm grip on his hand. She was lucky though that her palm wasn't clammy or cold it was actually well lotioned and warm.

Not noticing they had stopped Amanda bumped in to the backside of Zac. He finally dropped her hand as he sat down at the table leaving enough room at the booth fro Amanda to sit down next to him. When she did sit and after she got comfortable she noticed who she was sitting across from

"you again" he said smiling as she smiled back "yep it's me so get excited" she placed her hands on the table looking around "trust me my night just got ten times better" Jesse said looking over at her. Amanda blushed fidgeted with her fingers. A slower song came on and the dance floor was not packed anymore it was actually kind of empty.

Jesse looked over at Amanda and grabbed onto her hand "you want to dance?" he asked as he stood up not letting go over her hand. Amanda looked up at him "do I have a choice" she giggled as he pulled her up until they were face to face "no" he smiled and pulled her on to the dance floor. Now was it just her or did he really like her.

Zac was talking to one of his co-stars when he felt Amanda get up. He turned around noticing she was gone and when he finally spotted her on the dance floor he noticed she had her arms wrapped around Jesse's neck and she was laughing about something.

"Aren't they cute" he heard Tiffany chime in. Zac was still looking over at them when he nodded "yeah they look like their having fun"

Zac felt a little weird just sitting there and staring at them dancing but he couldn't help it. He turned his attention towards Tiffany when he felt her hand on his leg "Tiffany what are you…"

She smiled and put her finger to her lips "shhh…your really cute Zac I can't help it" she giggled.

Zac sighed "I'm going to get a drink" he stood up but stopped when Tiffany grabbed his hand "be back soon I might miss you too much" she did this annoying little giggle which made Zac cringe as she dropped his hand. He turned around and started walking but he wasn't headed to the bar he was headed to go get Amanda.

"You're lying" Amanda said laughing "you really fell in front of all those people?"

Jesse chuckled and nodded "yeah it was pretty embarrassing" Amanda felt him rap his arms around her waist a little more and she was fine with that "If I were you I would of just staid down until the concert was over" she laughed even more when he spun her out and pulled her back in "I didn't know you could dance this good" Jesse said looking in to her eyes.

Amanda's heart was pounding and her stomach was doing flips she felt like her knees might buckle and she would faint. She started to twirl the ends of his hair near his back with her fingers as he smiled and leaned in closer. She could feel his breath and she could smell his cologne. Amanda was about to kiss him but pulled back when she felt someone tap her shoulder.

She turned her head and a felt a little embarrassed as she dropped her hands and Jesse dropped his "hey Zac what's going on?" she asked feeling weird.

Zac smiled and looked at Jesse "mind if I cut in" Jesse a little surprised stepped back "No I got to step outside anyways" He winked at Amanda as she felt her hand being grabbed by Zac's.

She watched over Zac's shoulder as Jesse walked away "you two going out?" Zac asked trying to get her attention to him. Amanda looked up at him as they music went into some kind of solo. "Not yet at least" Amanda said laughing as he dipped her down "warning next time please" she said laughing as he pulled her back up.

Zac felt awkward for cutting in to their dance but he was proud now too, how could Jesse get the first dance before he did. "Well then do you like him?" Zac asked trying to get something out of her.

Amanda raised an eyebrow "are you trying to get into my business or what" she said a little annoyed I mean why was he trying to get answers out of her Zac shrugged "I'm just wondering" he said coolly trying to calm her down

"You're my friend right?" Zac asked as Amanda looked back over his shoulder "yeah of course" she said not seeing Jesse walk in yet.

"Well then there's something you should know about Jesse" Amanda had her full attention on Zac now.
