Piper McLean is a very famous singer, thanks to her roots. But she is pushed to manage new stages so she lands a role in a very important up-coming movie. She soon meets her co-star, Jason Grace. New feelings rise and she finds her self falling for him as the time passes. But she also finds out he is taken by Reyna Anton. How will she cope with the flourishing feeling towards him? Will she get her chance?

"Oh, lunch time definitely has to be my favorite times of the day!" Leo exclaimed out loud.

I chuckled and passed him a disposable plate. "Hurry up, Valdez! I am starving!"

I nudged him on through the line.

It was eleven in the morning, a morning in which we were all rehearsing our lines. Annabeth had come to visit the set. There were some rumors that she might be doing the special movie song for the end credits. Since the production had turned around the whole plot, Annabeth was no longer needed as 'Jasmine'. But they were not going to let an amazing actress like Annabeth slip away like that. So they made her sing the song since I had rejected it.

She was behind me with a plate in hand.

Large tin food heaters were placed on foldable tables with yummy food in a long line. This was your typical lunch time on a movie set with a big white overhead protecting about five foldable tables with food on them. People assembled in line to get food that consisted of burgers, Mac & Cheese, tacos, quesadillas, salad, and Fettuccine Alfredo.

I settled on an avocado and green pepper quesadilla and a Caesar salad with a Pepsi. Leo, however, became interested on everything he saw on the heaters. He even managed to get a steak on his plate. From where, don't ask me. Annabeth went for a cheese burger and fries along with lemonade.

Yesterday, we had wrapped up the balcony scene. From now on we have about eight days to practice our lines. The new actor for the "Count Paris" is set to come in two days so we will have wait for the scenes with him. He is said to be a come-and-shoot-then-go actor. "Rosaline" will be an extended character. She will appear in the ball scene and in flashbacks with "Romeo".

The nurse is set to be Hera Goldman, Zeus's wife. Ironic, right? Greek and such. Friar Lawrence will be portrayed by Chiron. He said he will be the part because not much time is left. Besides he is an actor slash director like my dad.

I stepped out of the tent and walked over to the steps of the mansion. The tent was located on the vast grassy area with a view to the house where we are staying. Annabeth still has her room there, if you were wondering. Annabeth followed me. I saw that Leo was walked elsewhere.

"Leo! Come eat with us!" I yelled to him. I almost burst out laughing when I saw him struggling to keep both plates of food and drink in place.

"Can't, Piper-ella. I am going to meet with Chiron. Bye!" he ran off, yelping over his shoulder.

I sighed, "I bet he is ditching me."

Annabeth chuckled, "Nah, I just think he doesn't want to miss being in the bigshot."

I laughed, "Yeah, I guess. So what have you been doing? I was pretty bummed when all this happened. You were my rock."

"Well, I auditioned for a pilot. Turns out I got it. I am just waiting for the call to tell me when I am going to shoot it. I am so excited!" she cheered.

"That's awesome! What is it about?" I asked her, biting my quesadilla.

"Well," she popped her soda can opened, "It's about a 'girl with a dream' type of show. I can't say much."

"Oh well, I feel special." I mumbled playfully.

"Nah, So what's up with you? Is Jason treating you well?" Annabeth sat back against the pillar.

"Jason? When did he get into the conversation?" I inquired, nervously. Hopefully she didn't notice.

"Well, when I heard that you might have been naughty with him yesterday during a five, I figured we could include him." Annabeth raised an eyebrow teasingly.

My cheeks turned crimson, "Where did you hear that?"

"A birdie told me. But not you." Annabeth said.

I bet I know who it was.

"Percy. It was Percy." I let out.

"Who else? Now tell me, details." She scooted next to me. "I need to know."

"Why?" I bit my quesadilla.

"Piper," she shook me making me drop my food on my plate.

"Okay, I will," I sighed, adjusting my quesadilla on the plate. "Well yesterday, when Chiron called five midway through the balcony scene, we decided to go downstairs. At least I did. But when he closed the doors, I knew I wasn't going down any moment soon. We had shared a few kisses in the scene. They were really… heated. He told me that they were really good or something. Then he told me that I had an effect on him. I made him feel weak. By the time he told me that, I was weak-kneed. I told him the same thing and next I knew I was against the wall with his lips and hands on me. It was amazing."

Annabeth's eyes widened, "Oh my gods. Then?"

"Then Reyna came."

"What?!" Annabeth choked on her drink.

"Yeah, she came."

"What happened?" she asked eagerly.

"Well there was a knock on the door and it was her. We ran to the balcony and pretended to be practicing our lines. That was a big saver because she just said that they wanted to know if we were fine and left."

That was a lie but I wasn't going to tell Annabeth about that part of last night.

What really happened was that Reyna didn't believe us.

She had come over to us and knew what we were up to right away. Her expression quickly changed from calm to deadly calm. That expression scared the living crap out of me.

Then she had said, I see you've made your choice, Jason. Don't mind me, I am out.

I had tried to stop her, as well as Jason, and ask her what she meant but she just said: Be happy.

She ran out of the room throwing the door behind her. I flinched.

Do you think she thinks we are going out? Right after your break up? I asked him afterwards.

Pipes, when we broke up, she asked me if you were the reason why I didn't want to fight for us. I didn't answer because I didn't know. But now I do. And that's what she meant right now. That I made the choice to not keep fighting for our relationship? To be with you. He told me, grabbing my hand and placing a kiss on it.

Oh, was all that came out.

I smiled at Annabeth and during the rest of lunch we talked about our jobs and the men in them.

Once again I found myself under the weak sensation Jason caused in me when he kissed me.

We had locked ourselves in a rehearsing room to 'rehearse'. Perfect spot.

This is the second time we have been doing this. We were in the middle of the ball scene. 'Middle.'

"Jason," I moaned.

I tangled my fingers in his blonde hair and brought him closer. I kissed him for dear life and wrapped my free hand around his neck.

"When did… this… start?" I asked in between kisses.

"I don't know… but… it's happen…ing…" Jason smiled into the kiss.

"Yeah," I said and he picked me up and diligently settled me on the couch. He crawled on top of me and continued to kiss me. I wrapped my legs around his waist.

During our sessions, we never go farther than we should. He is respectful in that matter. But I can tell he wants it as much as I do. But we are taking things slow.

Are we even a couple?

He seemed to be thinking the same thing. He broke the kiss and looked at me in the eye.

"Pipes, are we… do you… are we anything?" he stuttered.

"Is that your way of asking me to be your girlfriend?" I questioned him, still wrapped around his neck. He snaked his hands over my stomach, oh how I loved his hands on me. He began to draw circles on my skin making me ticklish.

"I don't know. Do you? Do you want to be my girlfriend, Piper?" Jason asked me, but then seemed to get an idea. "Wait don't answer that! I have a better idea!"

"A better idea? I was going to answer that!" I exclaimed. He got off of me and sat on the couch, grabbed his phone, and checked something out.

He stood up as I sat up. "Jason?"

"No, don't answer that. I'll be at your room at seven. I'll take you to dinner. Answer me then." He talked faster as he approached the door. "I have to do something."

"Are you giving me time to think about being your girlfriend?" I teased.

"No, don't think. Just be ready by seven." He winked at me, opening the door, and quickly exited; leaving me there, thinking but on what I should wear.

A/N: Helloooo! I am back. Sorry for the late update. I was going to update sooner in the day but my house was just invaded by ants. I hate those little creepers. They got in my computer so I couldn't use it for a while. Also, if you want to know why I haven't updated in so long, check out my A/N in Ambrosia. I don't want to keep writing it down.

Please review!
