So close

"Is that lady your agent? If so, what is her name?"

"Her name is Gabrielle, she doesn't like giving her surname out. Come sit here" Marshall pats a spot next to him. Riley is hesitant but goes to sit next to him.

As Riley sits down, Marshall leans back and rests his arm on the couch space behind Riley. Marshall keeps looking Riley up and down.

"So, when are you having your shifts?" Riley is uncomfortable being in a never-seen-before place.

"Tch, I have this damn acting thing going on and we are making relationships happen. I hate romance films. Anyways, I will on the grounds tomorrow. My driver will take us there at 7." Riley sighs.

"What's wrong?"

"I wanna make sure, are you definitely gonna tell me if I mess up? My old boss did it and I now have to be told if I'm doing it badly." Marshall smiles

"He is so adorable."

"I will definitely be doing that. Oh and you might need to move in here, I can't be waiting for you every morning at 7. I will have my agent help you move in." Riley smiles and Marshall loses focus on anything else when he sees the smile again

"His smile is so distracting."

"When will you want me to move in by? Tomorrow?" Marshall nods his head

Gabriella walks in and is still looking down

"Why is she looking down?"

"I don't even know myself."

Riley stands up and walks over to Gabrielle, "Hey Gabrielle, you don't need to be looking down. You make eye contact with our boss."

Gabrielle looks up, Marshall nods at her

"B-but it's rude to look at your boss's eyes."

"No, it's rude NOT to look at their eyes. Eye contact is key, hunny." Gabrielle nods and walks out the front door

The next day at 9am. Riley have his key to Gabrielle for when she needs it to get into his place. Riley and Marshall are by the set, Marshall is talking to the director while Riley is sitting on a chair by the food stand. Some random blonde lady comes up to him, Riley looks up.

"Can I help you?"

"Oh you definitely can hun" the woman giggles a bit. Riley is annoyed by how her voice sounds.

"Then? Say it."

"Maybe you could ride of that mess you call your face, only pretty people are allowed here."

"Then why are you here? You are the queen of ugly." the woman is about to slap Riley but Marshall interrupts it.

"Hey there, I see you have met my assistant, Paige?"

"Yeah, we've met." Marshall is confused as to why Riley has such a annoyed voice

"Well I guess I must greet myself, I'm Paige Watson. I'm gonna be the one playing Marshi-boo's lover" Riley sees Marshall cringe.

"Can you please leave us to talk, Paige?"

"Of course, handsome" she finally walks away and Marshall sighs. Riley giggles and Marshall feels his heart beat a bit

"I see you don't really like her, I understand why. Her voice is so annoying!"

"Tell me about it, I have to kiss her in this film."

Riley's phone goes off and he answers it

"Oh hey Tyler"

"I can't have a chat right now, I'm at work."

"Stop calling me that, people are gonna think we at dating. STOP IT!!"

"Yeah yeah, bye"

Riley ends the call and pits it in his pocket, Marshall clicks his tongue

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing nothing, but who was that?" Riley sighs

"That was my ex, we are TRYNNA be friends, but he is so...touchy and weird."

"Nobody should be touching Riley. Can't believe I already have a feelings for him, damn homosexuality."

After filming, it is now 3pm, Marshall has just finished changing and he instantly goes to Riley. Riley stands up.

"Shall we go home now?"

"Would you like to get some takeout? Something for you on your first day."

"That is so sweet of you, but I don't eat oily foods. It makes me actually vomit."

"Oh, well I can cook you something?"

"The actor can cook? I wanna see this."

"Let's just go."

At the house, it is now 9pm. Riley and Marshall are sitting on the couch, Riley is leaving back and Marshall is sitting up while on his phone texting someone.

"Who you texting~"

"My mom, weirdo!"

"I'm not a weirdo, you're the weirdo!"

"How so?" Marshall puts his phone down and leans forward, Riley stands up.

"Oh come on, you have to kiss some annoying lady!" Marshall stands up. Riley starts to run and Marshall runs after him. As they run through the corridors, the maids they pass all look at them and smile. The main thing they thought was, "Boss finally looks happy with someone that isn't paid to be here. He isn't blocking someone out for once."

When they finally get into a room, Marshall pushes Riley onto a bed on his back and Marshall tops him. Marshall starts to tickle Riley, Riley shouts and screams from being tickled.

"SIR, NO- HAHAHAHAHA!! STOOOPPP, I'M GONNA DIIIIEEEE- HAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

"THIS WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO RUN FROM THE GREAT MARSHALL!!" Riley keeps on laughing. Marshall stops and stares at Riley with passion.

All he thinks is, "Woah, his laugh is even more beautiful. Riley is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."

Riley looks up and sees Marshall staring, Riley feels his face heat up.

"Uhm... sir? You're daydreaming."

"I've wanted to say this since I saw you, you are so beautiful. I've never seen anything as beautiful as you or anything better than your beauty. I'm astound that someone could look so beautiful."

Riley is now full on red, he can't even think of anything to say back. Riley covers his face.

"What's wrong? Did I say something bad?"

"N-no...y-you said everything so perfectly. I've just never been complimented like that, thanks Marshall." Marshall's cheeks heat up from hearing Riley say his name so softly. Riley's voice is very sweet and soft and Marshall's voice is very deep and charming. Riley hesitantly puts his arms around Marshall's neck.

"IS HE DOING THIS!? FCKING HELL, WHAT DO I DO!? I'VE NEVER BEEN SO FROZEN*!!"

"From seeing how you actually are, I take back what I said to Maddy about you..."

"What did you say?"

"That you are a douchebag and you know you handsome."

"Seems like you have a hate-love crush on me~" Marshall brings his face closer to Riley's face, they start to close their eyes. As they are about to kiss, a maid knocks on the door.

"Sir, may I come in*?"

"As I'm about to kiss Riley, THIS has to happen!?"

"Yeah, give me a minute." Marshall gets off Riley and stands by the bed, Riley sits on it. The maid walks in and looks at Marshall.

"Sorry to disturb sir, but your mother has been calling on your phone. I have not touched it, it is in the lounge."

"Thanks, leave please." the maid leaves the room.

"Sorry about earlier. I'll just go back to my room."

"Riley, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Y-Yeah, okay." Riley walks out the room.

"WHY THE F*CK WAS I EVEN DOING!? KISSING MY DAMN ASSISTANT ON THE SECOND DAY!! Mother would be mad if that happened***."
