Gunnar, Nico, and Robbie and I were all out at the 1950s styled retro diner, Frankie's. We were at our signature booth now I swear we came here too often. We sat there at the silver metal tables and with the cylinder ketchup and mustard. Gunnar was smiling because he had on a tank top. A sleeveless shirt. He pointed at his nicotine patch on his shoulder. "Looks good doesn't it?"

He had purposely worn a tank top so he could show off his nicotine patch. "It looks great." I was so damn happy he was happy.

Then that same pretty blonde waitress came around the corner. She was happy too. She was a lot blonder than Amber, shorter, and had green eyes. She seemed pretty positive and was always smiling. She had that same red bracelet on too. Her red white lined suit shirt tucked into her matching puffy skirt. A tiny little white apron hung around her waist. She had on these bigger silver framed glasses like she always did. They looked really trendy. She came to our table chipper as usual. I swear she had too much energy.

And it was weird we always saw her. But then again we always came at nine o'clock on a Sunday, after any sort of dinner rush on a Sunday. So it made since why she'd be here. And there were only like three waitresses here at this time in these weird hours. And it wasn't exactly a busy place. So it explains why we'd always see her.

"Can I get a classic hamburger with you to go?" Gunnar oh my gosh. She chuckled at his comment. "Can I get an order of onion rings Miss Thompson?" Nico was already back to flirting with her too. "So you remembered?" She kindly smiled. "How could I forget?" Nico was feeding her a smirk. She switched her view to over me. "What can I get you?" She playfully rolled her eyes at me. It made me chuckle a bit. "How about for these two guys to leave you alone?" I joked. Now she chuckled. "Hey!" Gunnar laughed. She was smiling now. Wow she had really white teeth. Really green eyes too. "You're sweet." She said to me. Now she was giving me a smirk.

"You're too nice. I can tell them off if you want." "Ahh but then I'd have no fun." She winked at me. Hot damn she was funny. "Oooo!" Gunnar and Nico were howling. She had personality. That's pretty cool. "To answer your question, can I get a Cheeseburger please?" I stated. "Me too!" Robbie shouted, always just got what I got. "Of course sweetheart." "Oh c'mon we're just having fun here!" Gunnar smiled at her. "Oh honey, I'm aware. So am I too by the way hot shot." Nico howled. Gunnar was smirking at her and she smirked at him too. "Thank you Miss Thompson." Gunnar was giving her such a look. "Ahh but I thought it was Miss America."

They started howling again as she walked off with our orders. I have just never seen such a bomb ass power move like that. Holy shit she was just so cocky. She just didn't give a shit it was too funny. "She's so damn hot." Gunnar was staring at her figure. "Bet. I bet she prefers beautiful." I corrected him. "I think she likes you dude." Nico playfully bumped into him. "Yeah she was giving me that look. For sure." "She was giving you a look. Why? Because she's nice! She was giving me a look too!" I laughed at them. "You guys seriously need to keep it in your pants my gosh!"

Filming later that week was a pretty sad scene. I had to film with the guy who played Jasper, the patient Violet was supposed to be treating. He needs more of the illegal drug that Violet got off of the street and now the doctor was willing to risk his whole job to go out and get it. "Here I got you Jasper." I helped him from his bed and into his wheelchair. "T-Thank you so much-h. Y-You've t-truly-y helped me so much. I'm so sorry-y I-I have gotten y-you into all-all of this m-mess." "It's ok. I'm a nurse. It's my responsibility to." The guy who was playing Doctor Jones walked by the room. He sighed and then came in. He shut the door and then bent down.

"Jasper, I'm going to get you the help you need." "Dr. Jones. No, I'm already in this mess I don't want you to be too. Just let me do it again. And what else could they do to me again? You have much to lose." "They're watching you Ms. Adams. They aren't watching me." "Are you-u sure this-s is what-t you guys w-want?" "All we want is for you to be ok Jasper." "We'll do whatever it takes."

"Cut!" The director yelled. We took it from the top. And then from the top. And then from the top. That scene forever I am not joking. I walked off set and my smile gleamed as I saw Ambs waiting for me. "Roselake?" She questioned. We walked into the old set smiling. And as soon as we got in there, I grabbed her hand. We strolled down the cobblestone road in between the tall buildings. "So I've been meaning to ask you." "Yes?" She stopped in front of me holding both of my hands. "Will you be my girlfriend? Like officially?" I lit up. My heart was so warm and my insides were so happy. "How could I ever say no?" "Yay!" She grabbed me with so much joy and the both of us were just giggling out of excitement. She gave me so many forehead kisses as we held each other until I pulled her into an embrace. I gave her a short kiss because and I was just so damn happy.

"It took you long enough!" I joked with her in between kisses. "Oh quiet! You were too much of a wimp to ask me!" "Wimp? I'm the wimp? Then why would I ask you to go out with me tonight?" "Tonight huh? A school night? Ooooo such a rebel." She mocked me. "You don't even have school." "Yeah but you do." She bopped my nose. "Yes but I'd really like to take you out. My way. The classic way of a date." "So like a high school date?" "Oh yes. Would you like to?" "I'd love to."

"Great I'll pick you up six." "No I'll pick you up." She insisted. "Oh c'mon! Don't you wanna look around Chad?" "Oh gosh Chad! Oh right! That's what you named your car!" "Yes!" "But I wanna drive!" "Why? That's the strangest thing!" "I like taking care of you." "Well, I'm taking you out. So I drive." "Well, I'm the top. So I drive." "Since when are we establishing roles here? And what does that gotta do with that?" "Please just let me drive! Please! Pretty please!" She hung her arms around my neck. "You'll be the best girlfriend ever!" My heart just about melted. I'm her girlfriend! "Ok." I uttered just blushing so much.

And she picked me up at six. She got out of her car and walked up to the porch like the respectable woman she was. She grinned as the door opened. "Hi Amber!" Robbie came running to her before I did. He clanged onto her leg. Amber was chuckling at the cuteness overload. "Hi Robbie! How are you?" "You remember my name?" "Oh of course. Remember? You're famous cutiepie!" He giggled at her comment. "Hey Ambs." I smiled at her as I held open the door. She was blushing.

"Hey." "Hello Amber." Gunnar approached her respectfully and so did Nico. "Hello you guys! It's nice to see the all of you." "Yea! I feel like we've never officially met." "I'm Gunnar Alyssa's older brother and this is Nico, also Alyssa's older brother." He chuckled and so did she. "It's nice to meet the both of you." She stuck out her hand to shake theirs. It kind of confused the both of them. We were a very informal family. But Gunnar still shook her hand and I actually think he was impressed. "Nice to meet you." Nico kindly stated after shaking her hand too.

Amber then bent down and shook Robbie's hand too. "Nice to meet you!" Robbie yelled too loudly. But Amber just laughed. "You've already met me!" "Oh yeah!" She stood up still smiling. I stepped outside with her. She looked at me so purely so infatuated with me. I blushed. I looked over at Gunnar and Nico just trying to play it cool even though I was smiling so much. "So I'll see you guys later?" They kept looking at Amber and then back at me. "Uh yeah. Yeah sure." Gunnar and Nico just had no idea what was going on. "Why you guys smiling so much!" Robbie shouted. Oh my gosh I was so embarrassed. Amber just gave me this big grin. I chuckled. "You'll understand when you're older Robbie." "Ugh! You always say that!" "It's just girl stuff." Amber said. "You won't want any part of that. It's gross and yucky." "Ewww!" We both laughed. "We'll see you guys." I waved Gunnar and Nico away as we stepped off the porch. And then I heard Robbie shout: "Bye Amber!" Just way too loudly. She chuckled. "Bye Robbie!" She yelled back.

She opened the door for me and then ran around the side. Her and her black leather jacket and brown boots with little heels. She had on a white suit shirt and nice jeans. She smiled as she sat down and shut the door. "Just girl stuff." I laughed. "Yes. You're a girl. I'm a girl. Therefore girl stuff." "You come up with the worst excuses." I was still laughing. "Um, says the girl who said the words: you'll understand when you're older." "Which he will!" "Oh whatever. So what are we doing again?" "Whatever you want cutie." I bopped her nose. "You can seriously go from annoying to sweet in less than two seconds. New record." "You enjoy this." "Um, no, you enjoy this." She then slowly kissed me slightly opening her lips and slowly parting them. She pulled away then rested her forehead on mine.

"You're right I do." I gave her a smirk. She let out a sigh just smiling. "So do I. But I'm curious to what this 'high school date' is exactly." "It's a movie date!" "Really? That's what you guys do in high school?" "Uh yes! Basically because everybody is just too nervous to talk for very long so a movie is basically perfect." "Aww so you're saying you're too nervous to talk to me. That's cute." "Oh whatever. I mean you already think of me as wimp." I chuckled. "Oh yes I do! Oh my!" She laughed.

We pulled into the movie theater and parked right up front. There was practically nobody there since it was a school night. We waltzed right in. "Two tickets please." I handed the cashier my money but, Amber was trying to hand him her silver credit card. "No!" "Why no?" "I'm taking you out. So no. And you already got your wish of driving." She rolled her eyes playfully. "Fine." She put her card in her wallet. The cashier handed us two tickets. I bought us a large popcorn and we took a seat all the way in the back as the trailer started playing. There were pretty much no people in there.

"You know I've always come to this movie theater since I was a little kid." "Really?" Amber questioned. "Yeah. I'd always picture myself on the screen because I loved the stories just so much. I just wanted to be a part of them. I practically grew up here." "Really? I never go to movies." "But you're an actress." "Yeah, I always go to marketing events for the movie I'm in or actually filming. I never have time to go and see a movie I'm not in. My parents just think it's best for me to focus on my career more." "But you've seen all those cheesy rom-coms." "Yeah because they're on Netflix and I can watch that from my trailer." "Well I'll take you more if you want. And if you're parents are ok with that." I joked. "I'm sure they won't be but I'd like that."

At the same moment Amber and I turned around because we heard a familiar voice. "Oh my gosh!" Amber started laughing. "Wow!" I couldn't breathe! That voice was my voice! Our trailer for Miles for Violets started playing! I was looking at myself on the screen. Me. Alyssa Barron. "That's you!" Amber shouted into my ear. It was of Violet and Miles just flirting. "That's you!" I called to her. It swapped to Tracey and Miles fighting. "Hey!" Then it was us talking. I grabbed onto her. The both of us just so damn happy! Holy shit! I was just so in shock. Like I knew we had been filming it I just didn't think it would I don't know turn out to be real. Or to look this good! It was so professionally done and how they portrayed the story as cute and romantic and funny was great! And most importantly it left you wanting more.

"Wow. Ambs this is for real like for real. Like people are going to see this!" I was trying to keep my voice low so I didn't disturb the other few people in here. "Girl I know. This is so amazing!" "I can't believe we're almost done filming too!" "I know it's so weird! I feel like I've been doing this forever!" "I feel like we've worked together forever!" "I feel like I've known you forever."

My heart just about stopped. I didn't seem to have my breath anymore. My mouth hung a little open and I double blinked out of happiness. "I feel like I could know you forever." I took her hand and she folded her fingers around mine. I slowly leaned in to kiss her I couldn't resist her. She was drawn to me too but a moment of hesitation stopped her. She looked around at the people in the lower rows but I couldn't stop looking at her. "It's fine Amber they're all looking at the screen anyway." "You sure?" Her breath was airy. "Yes. It's dark and-" She pretty much cut me off.

She breathed into the kiss. She rested her arm around my waist tugging at my shirt. I held her hand so tightly as she turned her head so passionately. Butterflies were swarming in my stomach as I nervously ran my hand through her hair. As our lips parted and met again I couldn't seem to stop smiling. And as she finally pulled away we didn't stop staring at each other.

Our hands didn't let go until the end of the movie. And we walked out of there still just as happy as could be. "So now what cutie?" We playfully bumped into each other on the way back to her car. "We're about to do the most teen high school shit you've ever heard of." "Really now?" "Yes. We're going to an overlook!" "Oh my gosh don't you need to get home? It's like nine." "It's only nine. And besides the view is killer." "Alrighty I'm trusting you on this." We stepped into her car. "Where are these per say overlooks?" "Mulholland drive."

The drive up there was steep as shit and windy too but once we got up there it was beautiful. We pulled into a dirt lot all alone. It was right next to the street but was completely dark. We parked and walked over to the wooden railing. "Wow." It was just us and a billion yellow and orange city lights. They were so tiny and all so scattered across the black view. "See I told you it was pretty!" I toyed with her hands. "You're right it is so gorgeous." She looked away and back at me.

"I thought for sure you wouldn't wanna come out here because of like Jeffery Dahmer or some serial killer would attack us!" "Um, it's Richard Ramirez. Aka the night stalker who would attack couples in their cars at overlooks! Thank you very much. And no! That was the seventies and either way this view is to die for. And it's part of any high school LA date." "So what do we do now? Is this where all the teens come to make out and stuff?" She joked. "Yes. Amber yes it is in fact." "Well I guess we're just gonna have to do just that, huh?" She played with me. "I guess so." But I was all for it.

She took my hand and led me to the hood of her car. She sat on top of it playing with my hand pulling me closer. She opened her legs a bit and fed me the most devious of smirks. "Come here." She mouthed. So I slide my hands around her thighs as she wrapped her hands around my neck. I pulled her closer to me and she chuckled as our lips met. I kissed her slow and meaningful. But then she pulled my lips toward her hard, rocking her body toward me. Her glossy hands traveled from my neck to my waist. And as I deepened the kiss, her tongue glided around my mouth so rapidly. I breathed into the kiss heavily. Her breathing hitched.

That's just about when a car came speeding by and hit the horn. "Ahh!" The both of us pulled away and jumped out of fear. The car had its windows rolled down, rap music blasting out of it. We could hear laughing coming from it. My gosh that was so scary but too damn funny! I began to crack up and start laughing.

"Why on earth are you laughing?" Amber was serious. "How could you not? That was too funny!" I was still laughing. "Alyssa! Someone could have fricking seen us!" But Amber was furious. "Don't fricking laugh! God, that was too close! Someone could have recognized us and and could have gotten a picture! This could have been everywhere! People would know! Oh my gosh!" She was so seriously panicking. Like truly worried. I could see the fear in her eyes. She so badly didn't want people to see us together. So uncomfortable about liking me. That hurt.

I was heartbroken she was thinking of it like this. Thinking of us like this. Thinking of me like this. "What? Are you that ashamed of liking me?" I was crushed. I knew she didn't want people to know because of the movie and publicity but I didn't realize it was this bad or she was this ashamed of it. I stomped back to her car and got in it. "Please just take me home. Now."

"No, Lyss." Amber was calmer now. She realized what she had done. What she had said. How much it affected me. She got into the driver's side and sat down in it. "You're ashamed. Of this. Of me. Is it that bad someone saw you kissing your girlfriend? It's 2019 Amber!" "But it's like 1950 for me! Ok? I can't let people know. You know this. This would alter my career big time. My parents don't want that happening and I don't either. It's just too risky." She took my hand. I don't know why I let her. "But Alyssa, no. I'm not ashamed." "Then what the hell was that all about? Huh? My God."

"Lyss, I think what we have is beautiful. And I like you so much. I'm embarrassed that you're my girlfriend no. No. I'm so happy that you are. I honestly couldn't be happier. I've never felt this close to anyone before. I really haven't. I really do like you Alyssa. I just am scared of what would happen if people found out. What this would do. I'm scared Alyssa. Not ashamed." I let out a tired sigh. Amber's eyes began to well up.

"I'm sorry that I made you feel like I'm ashamed of you. I'm so so sorry. I-I never meant to do that. I'm sorry." Her voice cracked and then she was just left staring at me with tears in her eyes. Gosh she really felt bad. But I felt bad too. It really hurt my heart. But I didn't wanna let go of her hand though.

"I just don't want to feel like I'm a burden to you." "You're not. Are you kidding? These past four months of my life I've never felt better." I was still mad at her but I couldn't resist an opportunity to joke. "Even when I made fun of your glittery eyeshadow and acrylic nails?" It made me chuckle. "Are you kidding? You do that now!" She chuckled too. I felt a little better. "But yes Alyssa. I've never felt better." "Then can you act like it and not freak out like that? Please?" I grabbed her hand tighter. I meant what I said. "Ok. Thank you. I'm sorry." She gave me a big hug and I heard her let out a gust of air. She was so worried. It made me hug her tighter.

But then her voice cracked: "I-I-I'm sorry." I pulled away. I then realized she hadn't stopped crying. She really did feel bad. "Hey-hey it's ok. I'm over it." I took her hand again. She sniffled. I pulled her back into a hug. "You stress me out Roselake. That's all." She sniffled again. But chuckled. "Thank you." "Now who's the wimp?" I joked again. She laughed and then let go of me. She looked at me calmer now. I was glad. "Me. I'm the wimp because I don't wanna lose you." "Why are you such a sweetheart Ambs?" "Why are you so forgiving Lyss?"
