Author's Note: I am so sorry for taking so long to post something for this fanfic! I just needed a nice break from all the drabbles I was writing. Needless to say, I'm back! And I'm picking up where I left off with requests. This comes from wishyouknew222 who requested the line, "I love you." I hope you all enjoy!

"I love you." His voice comes out as a whisper and she looks at him questioningly, her head tilting to the side ever so slightly.

"What?"

"I love you." It's a little bit more forceful this time and he can feel determination course through his veins. He wants her to hear what he has to say! Because she has to know his true feelings before—

"And cut!" Nate shouts and Eliot releases a breath he didn't even know he had been holding. "Parker, work on making yourself sound more love struck. And Eliot, make that first line forceful!"

"Love struck?" Parker echoes. She meets Eliot's gaze. "What does he mean?"

Eliot doesn't reply and Parker twirls over to Sophie's side, who is currently playing Parker's agent in this latest charade. He knew it was a bad idea to accept this job—even if the guy they were going to catch was a horribly cruel movie producer. In order to nail the guy, Nate had hired him to produce Nate's latest "movie". Eliot had been cast as the leading man and Parker as the star actress, but Nate had failed to mention that the fake movie they were shooting was a romantic drama.

"I love you," Eliot mumbled as he watched Parker animatedly talking to Sophie. "I love you."

It was such a simple sentence to say—only three words—why then, did his heart always flutter when he said that phrase to her? Why did he feel like that this was more than a movie—that he truly wanted to confess his feelings to Parker?

"Eliot!" Nate exclaims, fully relishing his role as the director. "Ready to do a second take?"

He's not, but he nods his head. Parker energetically bounces to her spot on the "set"—a pretty much empty room that Nate has filled with various objects—and Eliot feels his heart flutter again. He knows he shouldn't feel this away about Parker. She's supposed to be a friend, an ally, and nothing more—

But those three little words have suddenly changed everything. The more and more he thinks about them, the more and more he realizes that they are true. He does love Parker. She's beautiful, a hell of a thief, and Eliot even loves her quirks.

He's fallen for her.

"And action!" Nate shouts, but Eliot barely hears him.

"I love you." Eliot says the words naturally. He wants her to know his true feelings; he needs her to see how he feels!

"What?" Parker replies and Eliot braces himself.

"I love you."

And with that, he crosses the gap between them and kisses her.

He doesn't hear Nate call cut or hear Sophie mumble about how this wasn't a part of the script. All he knows is that he is kissing Parker and he loves her.

And for this one moment, everything is perfect.
