I opened my eyes to see stars shining in the sky above me. I looked at Rob's watch, the glowing rectangle read 8:30. I looked at Rob serene face and couldn't get myself to wake him. We must have fallen asleep after our picnic. I slowly lifted Rob's left arm, which was wrapped around me, careful not to wake him. This didn't work as well I thought and Rob's eyes opened.

"You are really beautiful when you sleep, you know that?" He sat up, straightened his hair and looked at his watch. "Crap. You dad's going to kill me."

I reached my house by 9:15, but it was just late enough for my dad to be suspicious. he was sitting in the living room when I got home, pretending to watch TV.

"Where'd you go today?" He was trying to make it sound casual. I sat down next to him and handed him his keys.

"With Rob. We went for a picnic." I kept my eyes on the commercial for dog food, hoping to avoid eye contact.

"Till 9:00 at night?" He changed the channel to a basketball game.

"Yeah, so?" I got up off the leather couch. My dad's eyes followed me down the hallway. Once I reached the stairs, I heard my dad pick up the house phone and the beeping of him calling someone. I sat down quietly on the stairs to listen to him.

"Hi, Rob." I felt my stomach drop. I would have to apologize when I saw him again. "I have heard that you spent the day with Claire." I knew my dad didn't believe that we just went on a picnic. "What did you guys do?" I was getting sick of this phone call already. I got up and headed up the stairs to my room. I opened my laptop and checked my email. I had a message from my mom.

Hey Claire,

How are you? How's L.A? How's the weather? I'm fine, I've started taking Art classes to keep me busy during the day. Tell Mark I said hi. Write me soon.

Mom

I smiled and relied immediately.

Hey Mom,

I'm doing great, L.A is sunny and warm. I'm glad to see your keeping yourself busy. I went to work with dad and now am staring in a movie, figure. I met a really nice guy, you'd love him. He's in the movie with me.

Claire

I closed my laptop, but then heard the noise of a new message. I opened it up, it was a message from a email address I didn't know.

Hi Claire,

It's Rob. Just got off the phone with your dad. He's annoyed with me. You might want to be nice to him for a while. I probably won't see you tomorrow, I want to give Mark time to relax a little. I'll see you on Monday though. I had a really fun time today. See you later.

After I read the email I closed my laptop again and went downstairs. I sat down next to my dad on the couch and we sat silently watching basketball till 11:00, when I got sick of it and went to bed.

"Claire, I have to run to the office real quick. I'll be back soon." My dad stuck his head in my room, I rolled my eyes and glanced at the clock. It was nearly 10:00. I lied in bed for a few more second, debating whether I really wanted to get up or not, when my computer made my mind up for me. The chiming of a new message roused me. I inched out of bed and plopped down in front of the computer, hoping that this was good. Someone has to be on there death bed or something huge is happening. I opened the message and was glad to see it was from Rob.

Hi,

I was planning a party for next weekend to celebrate the premiere of a movie I made earlier this year. I was wondering if you wanted to come? It's nothing to big. Hope you come.

Rob

I felt my heart skip a beat. A party? What in the world was I going to wear? I did have that amazing blue dress I got for my graduation party. It made my liquid blue eyes pop. It was perfect. Oh god! Shoes! I have a week, I'll figure it out. I typed back a reply and then moved slowly to the kitchen to eat breakfast. I searched through the fridge, but gnawing in the back of my mind was the carton of ice cream in the freezer. I deserved it! I opened the freezer and pulled out the Ben&Jerry's Half Baked.

I pulled out a spoon and threw myself on the couch. I searched through the channels and finally settled on HBO, which was showing Pirates of the Caribbean. I gobbled down the carton while ogling at Orlando Bloom. I've had a serious crush on him since I was like 10, but now he didn't have the same effect on me. I kept hoping Rob would call the entire time.

It was about noon when my dad finally returned. He stared at me with a raised eyebrow. I was still in my pajamas, and to my luck It was a POTC marathon! I was obviously drooling with out my knowledge, because even though Rob is gorgeous, who doesn't swoon at the sight of OB! "Claire?" I suddenly snapped out of my OB trance and stared up at him. "Did you eat that ice cream?" He smiled at me as I wiped my face of every trace of chocolate. "Actually, we're a little behind schedule on the movie. We need to shoot today. Go get dressed." I turned off the TV and ran into my room. I threw on my favorite vintage t-shirt and skinny jeans. I then laced up my Chucks and ran a brush through my hair. I smiled at myself in the mirror and rushed out the door.

"Let's go!" I rushed ahead of my dad and jumped into his Mustang. I sat in the car, waiting for my dad to reach the car.

"Someone's sure excited to shoot to day." He turned the key and the engine roared to life.

"It's just really fun!" I turned my face away to avoid anymore questions, and looked out the window. L.A zoomed by as we drove to the studio.

When we arrived, I jumped out of the car and ran into the studio. I pretended it to head to wardrobe, but I was keeping an eye out for Rob. I walked into Wardrobe and there he stood. He was on his cell phone, his back to me.

"Liz, can you take care of the catering? Thanks so much. I l-." he then turned and saw me. "I got to go, bye." He hung up his phone and smiled. "Hey!"

"Who was that?"

"Just the party planner." His eyes looked worried, but i tried not to let that scare me. He was probably just nervous about the party. Nothing to get worried about.
