Hey guys sorry for the wait I've been so busy! Well here's the next chapter, and please bear with me at the beginning I promise it gets better towards the end of the chapter! Well please read and review

LUCY POV

I woke up this morning completely set on wowing the producers, well the producers and a certain male costar of mine. I had been reviewing scripts, and practicing facial expressions all weekend; and now I was ready to show everyone that they really had chosen the right person for the role. I had even let myself sleep in, which happens on very few occasions. Eventually I heard my phone ringing from somewhere in my living room and I pulled myself out of bed to answer it. I hopped off my tall queen size bed and threw on some slippers before throwing open my bedroom door in search of my phone. I dug through all the cushions on my grey tweed couch before finally finding it wedged in the far part near the armrest. I answered my phone out of breath, and plopped onto my couch. "Hello?"

"Hey Lucy! It's Ashley, I was thinking maybe we could stop and get lunch before the cast meeting; then maybe ride together to the studio? We had so much fun last time." she answered back in her usually excited tone. We had gone out to dinner after the screen test with the main cast, and had a blast.

"Yeah, that sounds great. I actually haven't eaten yet and I'm starving." I groaned as I called my puppy jack over to the couch.

"Okay awesome! I can't wait for today! How about we go to Della Terra; I heard its great and it's only a few minutes away from the studio. Do you want to go around 12:30?"

"Yeah okay, so ill see you then." I smiled.

"Yep! Oh gosh I have to finish getting ready! Bye Luce!" she says quickly and hangs up.

I set down my phone and look at the clock, it flashes 11:50. I have less than 30 minutes! I jump up and run into my bathroom to see what exactly I have to do to get ready. I pull my hair out of my sloppy bun and run my fingers through the top to smooth it out. Thank god my natural hair wasn't horrible. I pullout my curling iron and turn it on full heat. I take big chunks and quickly curl them until they're up to my standards. I put on my usual make-up and check the time. 12:15, I really have to leave in five minutes! I run to my closet and grab a multi-color loose pink shirt with black lace sleeves, and slip on a pair of dark wash jeans. I rummage through my closet floor until I find the perfect shoes. I slide on the black wedges and add a long necklace and some bracelets. I grab my purse and run out the door, hopefully I'm not too late.

I jump out of my car and bolt into Della Terra. I scan the small Italian restraint, and see Ashley sitting at a small table at the back corner. She looks up and I shoot her a small smile before walking over and joining her at the table, "Hey, have you been here long?"

She smiles at me, "Nope, only a few minutes. So, are you excited to finally see everybody today?"

"Yeah, I mean I've really only met the people in my story line, so far they all seem amazing." I say having one person in mind.

"Exactly! I can't wait to run the whole episode! And then there's wardrobe today, that's my favorite part." She laughs as she takes a sip of water.

"Really! Today's going to be great." I smile as the waiter comes over to take our order.

Lunch with Ashley was great, and I definitely see us becoming really good friends. There was never an awkward moment with us, well not until she asked if I was seeing someone. I wasn't really sure how to answer the question. What was I supposed to say, well my new costar took me on a date and kissed me and now he's all I can think about. Of course not, so I decided to be vague. "Um, well it's complicated." I half mumbled as we were finishing our meals.

"Ahh, yeah I get it." She laughed. "It used to be that way with Ryan and I. We've been dating for a little and he's great, you should meet him!"

"Yeah, maybe we could all go out one night." I smiled as I glanced at the clock. "Ashley, we should really get going."

As we walked out of Della Terra we decided to take separate cars because Ashley had to leave straight from the studio to go somewhere. We both said our goodbyes and headed to the meeting.

I walked into the meeting room early and surveyed my surroundings. It was one big room with felt walls and papers push-pinned into them. I walked further into the room through the maze of tables and chairs. The tables were lined with small strips of paper folded in half with names written on them in neat black ink. I walked through the pathway scanning the name plates for my own, when my eyes stopped at one of the plates. I study it closely, and run my fingers along the ink creases in the paper.

Ian Harding

Ezra Fitz

I smiled to myself, Friday night was amazing. I hadn't had a moment where I wasn't thinking about him. As I stared at the name plate the memories fluttered back in. The way his eyes sparkled against the lights that surrounded us; the overwhelming scent of cinnamon and scotch as I nuzzled my head against him, when he kissed the top of my head as he walked me up to my apartment. My thoughts were interrupted by someone calling my name. I turned and saw Ashley motioning me to my seat in between Shay and her. By the time I made my way over to them the room was almost completely filled in. I saw a few familiar faces, but still no Ian. I was drawn into Shay and Ashley's conversation about getting fitted for wardrobe, before all of the sudden my eyes were drawn to the door. There he was. My eyes bolted back down to the script and up again to meet his eyes. He smiled at me, and for a moment it was like we were the only two people in the room.

IAN POV

The second I walked into the room my eyes immediately gravitated towards her. And when she looked up, looked right at me I froze for a moment. I had called and texted her a few times since I last saw her, but I wanted another night like the last. I wanted to hold her, kiss her, and just be with her. I was one of the last people to arrive to the meeting, and there was a crowd of people surrounding Lucy so I decided not to go up to her then and found my seat instead.

The read-through only took about an hour and a half but to me it felt much longer. I felt as if my eyes were always on her, and when we read our scenes, there was so much more passion in them. I knew she was a remarkable across, but to me this felt like something more. Marlene dismissed the meeting and said we would be doing wardrobe in a few minutes. As everyone left I remained seated hoping it would clear out enough for me to talk to her. I saw an opening and I went for it. I stood up and walked to the other side of the room stepping beside her, "Hey Lucy."

She swooped her head to face me and I was caught with an overwhelming smile, "Ian, I rea—it's good to see you again." Her voice lost a little of its flirtatious bounce as her eyes stayed focused on something behind me. "Lucy, they need you in wardrobe." I heard Marlene say.

"Right, well bye Ian." She smiled as she turned and left the room.

LUCY POV

Ding, the elevator stopped at the ground floor and the doors creaked open as I stepped out and walked down the long hallway to the side entrance where my car was parked. As I pushed open the heavy industrial door I felt small droplets of water poring down on me. Great. Rain is just what I need right now. The rain started to pick up as I walked through the lot in search of my car. When I finally spotted it I slipped off my wedges and made a mad dash to the safety of my dry car. I dug through my purse for my keys as I ran and when I got to my car I still hadn't found them. There I was standing in a parking lot completely drenched, and even worse I couldn't find my damn key. I peered into the window and there it was. Crap. I walked around and tried all the doors to see if any were unlocked but no, that would be too easy. This was just great. It was getting pretty late, and it was one of those unusually cold days and now I was going to have to call a cab. I checked my purse for money, two dollars. Okay so now I was going to have to take the bus. I had just started walking back towards the building when I heard a honk. I turned to face the car and i could make out a blurry figure through the rain. The figure started to approach me, "Lucy! Is that you?"

I wiped the water away from my face; I couldn't believe it was him. "Ian, why are you still here?"

"Well, why are you standing out here?" he laughed as he walked over, now completely drenched as well.

"I locked myself out." I sighed as I fidgeted with the fringe on my purse.

"C'mon get in the car!" he said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards him.

"Are you sure, I can find another ride." I said not wanting to be a bother.

"Lucy, get in this car." He demanded in a fake-serious tone.

"Yes sir!" I joked as I walked towards his car.

He walked around to the passenger side and opened the door for me before running to the driver's side and getting in himself. He turned up the heat and pulled out of the parking lot. We sat in the car in a comfortable silence with just the sound of the windshield wiper going back and forth. I was the first to talk. "Gosh this weather is just awful." I said staring out the window.

"I know, and it's pretty cold too." He said as he concentrated on the road.

"Whenever it rains like this, all I want to do is curl up on the couch and watch movies." I laugh as I shift my body the slightest bit towards him.

"I used to do the same thing, my sister and I would make a day of it." He lets out a big smile and glances over at me.

"I did the same thing with my sister. We've been doing it for years." I say

He takes a quick intake of breath and lets it out slowly as he slows at a red light, "Have you eaten yet? Because if you're hungry maybe we could get take out or something and watch a movie." He blurts out nervously

"That sounds great. I'll order now! I'm starving!" I beamed and he looked pretty happy too.

"Yeah I haven't eaten since noon." He laughed as I got my phone out and dialed the number for my favorite Chinese restaurant

He pulls his car into a parking space and takes the key out of the ignition. "Ready?" he questions, "One, two, three, go!" and we both run out of the car through the torrential down poor into the safety of his apartment complex. He pushes floor three and we ride up the elevator shivering. The doors burst open and I follow Ian to the door. I can't help but let out a giggle.

"What?" he says confused

"3B?" I question trying to fight the laughter.

"Oh yeah, it's weird right?"

"You totally planned it, don't lie!" I tease.

He simply smiles and unlocks the door. When we walk in I immediately take in the scent. Cinnamon and scotch, just like him. It's basically the same set up as all LA apartments living area, small kitchen, a bedroom and bathroom. He shuts the door behind us and we stand there for a moment, as he searches for what to say. "Right, well come on in." he smiles nervously.

"Thank you," I smile as I walk further into the living room leaving a trail of water as I walk.

"Oh, god, you must be freezing. Let me get you a shirt or something." He says as he runs into his bedroom. He is such a sweet guy. He returns a few minutes with a shirt and a pair of boxers, and I grab them from him. I really like this guy, and I'm done being stuck in the "friend zone" with another great guy, so I do something a little out of character. I watch him closely as I slowly remove my soaked floral top. His eyes stare deeper into mine. And before I know it his lips are pressed against mine. I pull him in closer wrapping my fingers into his damp curls. He places one hand on my cheek and moves the other down to the small of my back. We break away for a moment as I pull of his soaked shirt and throw it onto the floor. I immediately press my lips back against his and he hoists me up and places me on the counter. He slides his body in between my legs and deepens the kiss even more. He smiles into my mouth and I playfully bite his lip. I can feel him about to pick me up, but suddenly the doorbell rings.

Okay so I feel like I need to stop here because I know what I want to write for the next part and it's gonna take some adjusting. So please review and I'll update ASAP!
