{ GO OUT WITH ME }
<HOURS LATER••RICKY’S APARTMENT>
Ricky stood in front of his apartment with his two hands tucked in his pocket. Lily hasn’t returned home and he couldn’t help worrying.
Somehow he regret how he acted towards her earlier.
‘What if she ki|| herself?’ His subconscious mind said.
She wouldn’t do such a thing cos of a guy right?
He look up to see her coming,his face brighten immediately. He walk to her.
“Are you okay?” He asked noticing the dark circles in her eyes.
Lily said nothing and just went in,slamming the door loudly.
“Did she cry?” Ricky nimbled and rough his hair before going in.
•••
<NEXT MORNING>
Lily got up from the dressing mirror and check herself out. She put on a heavy make up to cover up the dark circles under her eyes cos it was revealing so much. She cried herself to sleep last night cos she could not stop thinking about it.
She grabbed her bag and left the house,not smiling at all.
“Are you okay?” Rudy asked immediately she joined him in the car.
Lily nodded and turned her face to the window side.
“You’re not” Rudy said and turned her face back to face him.
“What happened?” He asked.
“I met Ricky yesterday” Lily said.
“And? What did that jerk do to you?” Rudy raised his eyebrows.
“Nothing and he’s not a jerk” Lily rolled her eyes.
“Don’t you think you’re too obsessed with him?”
“How?”
“You’ve never dated since we’re together,not in highschool and not even in college,you rejected every guy that ask you out all because of Ricky! He’s a celebrity,do you think you even have a chance with him…”
“I do and I have faith! It will surely happen someday. Can you stop talking and just drive,your voice is annoying!” Lily glared at him.
“Really? This isn’t the first time you’re hearing this voice” Rudy smirked.
“And it’s not pleasing to hear” Lily scoffed.
“I agree”
“What? When did you start giving into me so quickly?” Lily chuckled.
“Fine! I just want to make you laugh! Yunno how much I h@ťě it when you’re sad. Wh@ťěver it is stop thinking about it okay?” Rudy patted her hair.
“Thanks crab! I love you!” She blew him kiss.
Rudy shooked his head and chuckled.
“Minnie and I are going to the movie theater later,do you wanna tag along?” Rudy grinned.
“Like I’ve always said,I love my life… I’m not interested” She said.
“Gosh! You two are unbelievable… Am I that handsome that you won’t stop fighting over me?” He said proudly.
“Dream on crab! You’re still no match for my Ricky” She grinned.
“Sure” Rudy chuckled.

<SOUNDSCAPE ENTERTAINMENT>
“And cut!” The director said and Linda and Charles broke the hug,they both laughed and Linda make up artist rushed to hand her a handkerchief she used to wiped her tears.
“You both did a great job as always! Such a pity we’re left with just two scene before it’s end!” The director said sadly.
“I know right!” Charles smiled staring at Linda.
“It’s sad but good things and memories end too,,I must admit I enjoy myself filming this movie… You’ll have been a great family so far,I hope we get to do a lot of projects together in the future” Linda smiled.
“Me too….” Charles said.
“We’re leaving now… But can you come with us for a moment please,we need a remake of a scene of you I cut out earlier?” The director asked.
“Sure!” Linda smiled,she grabbed her bag but her manager took it from her.
“Thank you so much Amy!”
“My pleasure” Amy said as they went out.
Charles stared at her retreating figure till she’s out and turn to pick his car key,as he walk out he bumped into Kris.
“The $h00t is over?” Kris immediately said before Charles could even speak.
“Yh” Charles nodded with a smile.
They started walking together.
“And how’s your fan meeting yesterday? Did it go well?”
“Trust me you would have heard from him if it didn’t!” Kris said and Charles chuckled. He knew he was referring to Mr Cooper.
“When will your movie airing?” Kris asked.
“This sunday,you don’t wanna miss out” Charles grinned.
Kris nodded.
“Too sad I won’t get to film with her anymore?” Charles muttered.
“Who? Linda?”
“Yh,I guess actors who started dating after $h00ting a movie together aren’t just a lie! A heart is not something you can control” Charles smiled.
“Can I ask what you mean by that?” Kris furrowed his eyebrows.
“I think I like Linda” Charles smiled.
“What?” Kris exclaimed.

<ROSES AND PETALS••3PM>
“Thank you so much,do come back again okay” Amelia said as she walk a customer out.
She came back to her desk,but suddenly noticed Lily’s face. She left her desk and went to her.
“What’s with you this morning? You ain’t yourself at all?” Amelia asked.
“I’m fine!” Lily forced a smile.
“Your face says otherwise. Didn’t you get Ricky’s autograph yesterday?”
Lily was about replying when her phone buzzed.
ARE YOU FREE RIGHT NOW? I’M KINDA BORED.
It’s a text from Kelly.
“Who’s that?” Amelia asked.
Lily showed the phone to her.
“Oh my goodness!” Amelia exclaimed loudly.
*YES* She texted back.
KELLY: DO YOU WANNA MEET UP IF YOU DON’T MIND.
LILY: SURE.
“Do you mind staying here alone till I’m back?” Lily faced Amelia.
“Why? Where are you going?”
“I’ll tell you when I’m back,see yah!” Lily grabbed her bag and left.
“What’s she up to?” Amelia said.

<A RESTAURANT>
Lily walked into the restaurant and look around for Kelly,he was sitting by the back,he saw the first to see her,so he waved his hand.
Lily went to join him,he’s wearing a cap and a mask as usual.
“It must be hard being a celebrity” Lily said as she sit across him.
“Really hard, that’s what we’ve always want our fans to know but we’re not allowed to tell them about it” Kelly sighed.
“At least you can share it with me now, I’ll be your secrets keeper” She smiled.
“Really?”
Lily nodded.
“What would you like to have?” Kelly asked with a smile.
“Anything” She replied.
Kelly smiled and signalled the waiter to come,he ordered the same meal for both of them. Their food was bought to them. Lily began eating immediately.
She’s not the type to act too girly in front of a guy. Maybe because she’s used to being with Rudy all the time.
“You’re not eating…..” She suddenly look up when she felt his gaze on her.
“I’m full just watching you eat” Kelly replied and she blinked.
“I mean I can eat with this on,yunno how our fans can be” He looked around,Lily turned to see there were eyes on his especially the girls sitting next to them.
They seem to be arguing if he’s a Kelly or not.
“What if they found out it’s you? Let’s leave this place” She immediately got up.
“But you’re not done yet….”
She was already out before he could even land,Kelly went to pay for their food before joining her outside.
“I really care about you and your career a lot! I don’t want to put you into trouble” Lily said.
“It’s alright,but you seem to have a lot of appetite in there….
“I just eat it cos it will be a waste, I’m not hungry!” She cut him off,it was followed with a loud rumbled from her stomach.
“Your stomach says otherwise” Kelly chuckled.
Lily bits her lips.
“Let’s just go to another restaurant…
“Still risky! Just buy me that!” She said pointing to an ice cream stand in front of them.
“Okay,let’s go!” Kelly said but Lily pulled him back.
“What?”
“I’ll be the one to get it,what if they recognize your voice or something?” Lily nagged.
“Do you care about me that much?” Kelly chuckled.
“Of course,I told you before… You’re my second favorite after Ricky!” She grinned.
Kelly frowned but he quickly covered it up with a smile.
“What flavor?” She ask as he hand her some money.
“Anyone is okay with me” Kelly replied.
Lily nodded and left to get it,she came back and hand him one. It’s a vanilla flavor,same as hers.
“Thanks alot!” Lily smiled.
“My pleasure” Kelly smiled back and they started walking together.

<NIGHT>
Ricky stood in front of his apartment with his hands tucked into his pocket. He was waiting for Lily even if he’s refusing to believe he’s doing all this for her.
He pulled out a note from his pocket and opened it.
*I’M SO SORRY FOR YELLING AT YOU,I WAS JUST NOT IN A GOOD MOOD,I HOPE WE CAN GET ALONG IN OUT NEXT MEETING. FROM RICKY TO LILY*
The note said.
“What’s that?” Lily suddenly appeared.
“It’s nothing” Ricky immediately hide it.
“Okay” She replied and started walking in.
“Wait….” Ricky said and she stop walking.
“What?” She faced him.
“Here” He stretched it to her and Lily stared down at the note,then his face.
“What’s this?” She ask without collecting it from him.
“Can you at least take it? My hand is hurting” Ricky groaned.
Lily took it from him and opened it.
“Oh my goodness!” Lily screamed madly staring at the note as if it’s was some treasures.
He only gave her the authograph,he knows he’ll have a lot to about the apology.
“How did you get this?” She faced him.
“I was there at their fansign meeting!” Ricky stuttered and ruffled his hair.
“Really? I thought guys don’t fancy things like this… How did he…
“Should I take it back if you don’t want it?” She cut her off.
“Of course not!” She rolled her eyes.
“You like it right?”
“I don’t!” Lily snapped,her face teary.
“What!!”
“I love it,this is the first time I’ll be seeing and holding his real authograph. Not some forge one from the fans! I really can’t believe this…” Lily sniffed.
“Are you crying?” Ricky asked in disbelief.
“I’m not…”
“But you’re” Ricky said mockingly.
“You don’t know what it means to be a fangirl,it’s like a dream come true for me” She added.
Ricky watched her with
“So what do I get in return for giving you this?” He suddenly said,crossing his arms.
“Thank you so much!” Lily giggled.
“You really think thank you is enough?” Ricky scoffed.
“Fine! I should know you wouldn’t do anything for free,what do you want? Don’t ask for money though.. I’m not rich…”
“Go out with me” He said without thinking twice.
