Chapter 3

"And do you Jim, take Diane to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?” the preacher at Jim and Diane’s wedding asked. “I do.” Jim replied. “Now if any one has any objections to this marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace.” the preacher said. Katie and Danny looked at each other, knowing what each other were thinking. They laughed quietly and the preacher said, “Ok then. I now pronounce you husband and wife; you may kiss the bride.” Jim and Diane kissed.

After the wedding everyone was dancing at the reception. Katie had been dancing with Jim and Danny with his mom. When that song was over a slow song came on. Katie was on her way to get something to drink when Danny took her hand, “Wanna dance?” he asked smiling. She smiled back, “Sure.” then she put her arms on his shoulders. “Well I guess we’re ‘related’ now!” Danny laughed as they danced. “Yeah.” Katie laughed. When she looked up Danny was looking at her in that weird way again, “What?” she said. “Hmm? Oh nothing.” Danny laughed. “Nuh uh, don’t say that, I know something is on your mind. Vut iz it?” she asked in a French accent, just to be funny; she knew when she did something weird like that, he’d give in. “Kates, I...” he began. “You...” she urged him on. “Hey kids! Having fun?” Jim came up to them and said. “Yeah!” they told him. “Ok well come on, it’s time to cut the cake.” he said and left. “I guess I’ll tell you later.” Danny said. “Ok...cause friends don’t keep secrets from each other.” she smiled then kissed his cheek and went over to the cake, ‘Though I haven’t told you I LIKE you, like you.’ she thought. Danny followed her.

“Great scene you guys!!” Gary, the director, said. “Thanks!” they said. Later, while Matt and Stephanie were practicing lines Matt laughed, “I think Danny has a thing for Katie!” “Yeah!” Stephanie agreed, “I think Stephanie has a thing for Danny.” she mumbled. “What?” Matt asked looking at her. “Oh, I said Katie has a thing for Danny.” she lied. They both laughed. “Hey Steph.” Matt started. “Yeah?” she looked up at him smiling. ‘Wow she’s pretty.’ he thought. “Wow you’re pretty.” he said out loud, then he wanted to kick his self. Stephanie giggled as she blushed, “Thanks. You are too...I mean...yeah you know.” then wanted to kick her self. He laughed, “Yeah, I do, thanks!” They looked at each other for a minute or two, then Matt broke the silence, “Do you wanna get something to eat after we get out?” “Sure.” she replied, “We’re not in the next three scenes being shot right?” “No, nuh uh.” he replied. “Cool, maybe we could ask Gary if we could go on and go if we promise to know our new lines by tomorrow.” she said. “Yeah cause he wants us to know them good. Some people keep forgetting their lines.” he looked at her. “What? Hey nuh uh!! You forget yours sometimes too!! And your the one who keeps making me laugh! So don’t go there boy!” she laughed. “Whatever, but it is so easy to make you laugh.” he said. “Not.” she laughed. “SEE!” he laughed. “Shut-up!” she said playfully pushing him, trying not to laugh. “Let’s go ask him.” Matt said as he got up. “Ok.” Stephanie followed.

Gary had said it was ok so they went to Church’s. They talked and ate. The more they talked the more they were falling for each other, though neither of them new the other felt the same. After they ate, they had the limo drop them off. Matt went up with Steph to her door. “Thanks for lunch. I had fun.” she smiled. “Your welcome, I did too.” he said. “Well I better get in. I’ve got that test Mrs. Jones gave us to study for, and I have to memorize my lines.” she laughed. “Yeah. I better get going and do the same.” he said looking at her. “Ok, well bye.” she said as she leaned in to kiss his cheek. He moved his head back. Stephanie was afraid he was mad and didn’t want her to do that, but then he leaned in and kissed her quickly but softly on the lips. “Bye!” he smiled and went down the steps to the limo. Stephanie went in her house in a daze, and smiling, “Wow.” She shut the door and went to her room.
