Liv's POV

"LIV!"

"LIV, OVER HERE!"

"MS. ROONEY!"

No matter where I turned, there were flashing lights. Eeeeek! I love this life. Seriously, the famous life is a one in a lifetime and I'm thankful that I got this opportunity, because it's a blessing. To think about it, I could have been one of those clerks in a bank, typing on a computer. All I did was post a video of me singing on YouTube and BAM! Instant Famous!

Haha…

The fans love me and haters want to be me. I mean, I can't blame them. Everybody wants to be Liv Rooney and everybody unfortunately can't be like her.

I sound like a jerk. I really need that spa day Dan set up for me.

"Ms. Rooney, any words to your fans on making this possible?" A reporter asks me.

I put on my best smile. "I just want to thank you guys. Without you, I wouldn't be able to do what I love…and that's being Liv Rooney." I say and earned some laughs.

"Watch the cord, Langston." The reporter says and sends a glare to someone behind me. I guess she's talking about the camera cord guy.

"LIV ROONEY! AHHH! YOU'RE MY FAVORITE ACTRESS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!"

Wow, someone is a true fan.

I turn around to see who was behind the voice, but I end up falling backwards. Stupid cord. "AHHH!" I scream and suddenly I'm in a swimming pool. Yes, I said a swimming pool. I look down in the pool to see that I'm wearing a silver pink bra with a matching bikini.

Wait.

How did I get here?

Is this a dream?

"Liv!" I hear someone call out. SPLASH! I shield myself from the stampede of water heading my way. When I look around, there's nobody around.

Who just called my name?

"Ahh!" I shriek when hands suddenly appear around my waist. I am suddenly lifted into the air as the person continues to laugh.

I know that laugh, anywhere. It's Holden's.

Okay, yeah, I AM DREAMING.

He lowers me just enough for me to wrap my legs around his waist. "Hey…" He says huskily for whatever reason.

I smile. "Hey…" I answer back, then I allow myself to kiss his oh-so-juicy lips. "I missed you."

He laughs, "I miss you too, Livy." Aww, Livy is so cute. It's pronounced Liv–v.

I think I was too carried away in my thoughts to realize that we were now in our bedroom, which was pretty weird seeing that we had to get on an elevator and go four stories up before we got here.

I soon feel the warmth of the sheets around me.

Oh my god.

This feels like heaven.

I bite my lip as I watch Holden hover over me. "Stop teasing me and just do it." Those words just left my mouth. I don't understand. I wouldn't have said that AT ALL, especially seeing as I'm trying to save myself for the perfect moment.

"Say no more." He says huskily and starts kissing my jaw. I let out a soft moan before he goes lower and lower to my neck.

"Hold up." I'm glad I got some type of control in this.

He looks at me confused, but then that suddenly goes away. "Oh, okay. I know what you want." He says and I look at him confused before I finally figured out what he meant.

"Um…Holden—"

"—yeah?" He had begun unlacing his swimming trunks.

I let out a nervous laugh. "Let's…" I'm thinking I have control over this dream, but it looks like I don't because as soon as I thought I would finish it off with postpone this til next year…haha…I end up saying something else. "…do this!"

He lets his tongue explore the center of my belly before lifting his head and winking at me. "Ready?"

I instantly and uncontrollably nod my head. "Yes…"

Dammit, Liv. Stop it!

It was too late for that. Holden's trunks fall to the ground in one motion. My eyes grow wide and my mouth falls open.

Yeah, it was WAY too late.

He crawls towards me before leaning in and kissing my lips. I feel every single body part touch my waist and above.

It felt…right.

Ugh, I really need to wake up.

"Wake up, Liv! Wake—"

-/•\- Out of Dream -/•\-

"—Up!" I exclaim and let out short breaths.

I fall back and let my body hit the soft mattress.

Did that really just happen? Did I really dream about having sex with Holden? Oh my gosh, I don't know how I'm going to survive. If I'm going to have sex dreams every night, I should just FaceTime Holden and let him watch me play with myself.

I mean, seriously!

That was not an ordinary man!

He had me entranced for a good minute.

"Ugh…" I groan.

Holden will be the death of me.

Dan's POV

"Great practice everyone!" Coach Smith talks loudly for all of us to hear. "I know it's early and you were probably in some girl's bed getting it on." This triggers laughter from the rest of the guys. "…but you all knew that playing this sport was going to be a pain. There's one good thing that came out of this: you get the rest of your weekend off. See you on this field, Monday." That was his way of telling us to go.

I let out a relieved sigh.

Football can be a hassle. I love the sport, though. That's why I'm in college. I want to make it to the NFL, and this college will help me achieve that. I have no doubt in my mind.

"Coach waking us up at 3 in the morning. God damn! And I thought my momma was strict." One of the guys, Aaron, declares.

Everyone laughs.

We enter the tunnel and it's dark for a while. All you can hear is the laughter amongst you. And soon, we're in the locker room area.

"Shower!" A few guys simultaneously call out before striking out in the same direction.

I run a hand through my perfectly even and curly beautiful brown hair and head to my locker. There, I open it and reach in. I take out my white t-shirt and black shorts I wore this morning. Yes, I wore those to bed too. It wasn't our fault coach decided to make us practice so early.

It's 7 now, though…so, I guess I'm glad.

I got the rest of my Saturday off and Sunday to relax or go see a movie or go to a club to have some fun.

Suddenly, I hear a curtain being yanked.

I chuckle to myself, because I already knew what was next.

"Hey…" I hear. And suddenly, this someone smacks my butt.

I quickly turn around and hit his chest. "Stop it." I semi-scream. "Do you want anyone walking in on us?"

He licks his lips. "You look so good in those tights right now. I could take you right here." He announces.

I put on a teasing smirk. "Good to know." I say and grab his blonde hair before pulling him closer.

I pull away, but that made him firmly grab my butt and lift me up. I wrap my legs around his waist to keep from falling. "Liam, stop." I moan in his ear.

What?

I can't be loud. Everyone would know.

…and Liam doesn't want everyone to know apparently.

"YO WHERE'S LIAM?!"

Liam quickly sits me down and grabs his stuff. He sits on the bench and grab his phone. "Yeah…" He speaks into the phone as if he's having a conversation.

I chuckle and shake my head before returning to my locker.

Suddenly, the curtain opens.

"OH, I FOUND HIM GUYS!" Aaron calls out to the others. "Liam, why was the curtain closed?" Typical Aaron. He always has to know everything.

"Hold on, Mom." Liam says then holds the phone to his chest. "Huh?" He acts confused.

Aaron shakes his head. "Nevermind. Hey, are you still down tonight?" He asks Liam.

Liam nods his head. "Yeah."

What is Liam doing tonight? I'm curious.

Aaron looks at me. "Are you coming with us, Dan?" He asks. I just nod my head. He smiles back. "Okay, see y'all there." And with that, he's gone.

I turn to Liam. "What is he talking about?!" I exclaim.

"Calm down, Dan." Liam laughs. "Don't get your boxer briefs in an uncomfortable position. Seriously don't, because if you got what I got…" Okay, now he's boasting and teasing at the same time. "…you know that it gets very heavy in there and your underwear—"

"—Liam, just tell me what he's talking about." I'm glaring right now.

He throws his hands up. "Fine. We're going to the movies with some guys."

I thought he didn't want to be seen with other dudes.

"Okay wh—"

He shakes his head. "Not like that. We go to the movies and pick up girls, then we sit with them during the movie and let them grab. It's a game called Pick 'N Grab." He explains.

Oh.…

"What have I gotten myself into?" I groan and shake my head. "So not only am I picking up girls, but I have to let them feel all on me?"

He nods.

"Oh damn…it's gonna be a disaster!" I exclaim. "I mean, I can pick up a girl. I know that. It's gonna be the grabbing part of the game that's not gonna work."

He laughs. "It's fine. You're a good looking guy. I mean, I wouldn't be attracted to you if you wasn't." He says. "But for real, just imagine like you're THE GUY for a minute."

I sigh. "Fine. For you." I admit.

He makes a pout face. "Aww, thanks." He says and pecks my lips. "It means a lot."

I roll my eyes. "Yeah, I know."

"Bye…" He says and winks before leaving me there alone.

Liam…oh…Liam is very cute. He has blonde hair and a sentimental personality. He may be a football player and look like a jock, but he's seriously just a sweet guy. The only thing I have a problem with for him is that he doesn't want to come out. But, can I really say that? I mean, I'm scared of coming out. I just thought that if he came out, it would give me the courage to do the same. Unless our teammates are not saying anything, they think we're straight. We walk like them. Talk like them. We do everything like them. So, it would be hard for them to figure it out unless they caught us in action.

Oh god…

That has me thinking.

Tonight is bound for regrets.

Liv's POV

"We made a deal!" My sister sings from the other side of the phone.

Currently, I'm at Icy Shop that's about 5 miles away from my apartment. Today, just like every morning, I woke up then brushed my teeth. After that was done, I applied light makeup. I put on my tight running gear before finishing it off by putting my hair into a ponytail.

What?

I may not be as athletic as my sister, but there's perks to being an actress. Your shape has to be on point, and I plan on keeping it that way.

"Maddie…" I whine. "Please."

Even though she's about thirty minutes away from me, I still sense her shaking her head. "Liv, I have a game tonight that I'm suppose to be preparing for. Why do you think I'm up so early? If it wasn't for mandatory practice, I would be face-down in my bed." Maddie tells me.

I sigh. "Okay, I'll do it myself."

In a few hours, I have to meet with the producer for our movie as we start the location process. It would've been helpful if my sister were there to assist in this, but you know how that goes. Finding the right location is the first to many steps in making movies. First, there's the location confirmation. Then, we have to get the right crew and marketers. Then, we have to cast. After that, we have to get a planned movie date—it may not be done in time, but you still have to prepare one.

Ugh, it's so stressful!

"You say that like you're regretting that choice." Maddie points out the obvious.

I roll my eyes, but a smile can be seen on my face.

Off to the side, I could hear "Oh my gosh, that's Liv Rooney from Voltage!" and it honestly didn't make me feel good.

Why?

Well, I love my fans but they don't know when to not interrupt me. It's like they come at the wrong time.

"Liv?" Maddie speaks into the phone as if I had hung up. "Liv? Olivia Rooney—

"What?!" I refocus on the phone call. "Maddie, you know how much I hate my full name…Madison."

She chuckles. "Listen Liv, I have to go—"

"—no no no, Maddie please stay and talk to me for at least twenty more minutes." I beg.

She laughs, "I don't have twenty more minutes, Liv. Don't you have Holden to talk to?"

I groan. "That's if I can reach him. He only answers his phone at night, and I don't know when he's coming back." I tell her. It's true. Holden leaves on these trips and never knows when he's going to come back. It's lonely in that apartment.

Maddie sighs. "Well…" Oooh, is she starting to think of something? "…if you hang up right now, seeing as it's Friday, I'll come over today and spend the night with you—"

I didn't give her time to finish.

"—okay bye!" Quickly, I end the phone call.

"LIV ROONEY!"

"AHHH!"

"OH MY GOSH, IT'S LIV ROONEY!"

I cringe, thinking back to my dream I woke up from just an hour ago. I look to the ground to see if a long cord was behind me. Nope, coast was clear.

I see three young girls approach me. I smile. "Okay, what am I signing?" I ask with my pen ready in hand.

Maddie's POV

"MADDIE! Get your ass over here and practice on this 3-pointer!" My coach yells at me.

I flinch and drop my phone. As funny as it may sounds, I didn't even care. I ran into the crowd of girls and quickly caught a basketball before throwing it into the air. It hit the net.

I felt so proud at the moment.

Take that coach!

Coach Ronda claps her hands. "Great job, Rooney!" She seemed so excited. Until…"…on your 2-pointer. I said 3-pointer not 2-pointer."

Oops, look at me now.

I look like a damn fool.

Coach Ronda blew her whistle. "Alright girls, practice tomorrow. I'm calling this off early. My kids need me." She announces.

"What?!" I shout. "We got to practice on a Sunday!"

Coach Ronda turns to me. "Is that a problem, Rooney?"

Yes, it is a problem Coach Ronda!

Yeah right. Like I'd say that out loud and be forced to sit on the bench during our games. Sorry, no can do. Our first game is in two weeks and I'd be damned if I had to sit out because I felt like a bad girl that one day.

I feign a smile and shake my head. "No, it's not a problem." Anybody other than Coach Ronda could tell that I was faking. Even my voice was fake, laugh out loud. It sounded like Liv to be honest.

"Dinosaurs on 3…1, 2, 3!"

"DINOSAURS!" We all shout.

Yes, we have a dinosaur as a mascot. I don't care. This team is number 2, that's TWO, in the whole college league. I'm not about to leave a team just because of a whack mascot.

I walk over to the bleachers and bend over to grab my phone. I have my hand on it, and the unfortunate happens…my phone slides under the bleachers.

"Ugh…" I groan and lay my head on the bleacher. "Can this day get any worse?"

"Haha, I hate when that happens." I hear someone say. I lift my head to see a beauty. Yes, a beauty…like, he was beautiful. He had dark brown hair and his face was just…so squeezable.

Really Maddie!

"Oh, yeah…" That's all my mouth could manage to say.

He smiles. Ugh, his teeth are really white. They're pretty white. OH MY GOSH!

"Here." He leans down and grabs my phone. All because of those long arms. "Blake." He holds his hand out for me to shake.

I look at his hand then look off. "Yeah, whatever." I say.

He laughs, "So you're not gonna tell me your name?"

I shake my head. "No, why should I?" I ask. "Thanks for the phone. Catch you later."

"You know, I have been watching you for some time. You're a good basketball player, especially to be a girl." He tells me.

I scoff. "Good. No, I'm a great basketball player. Period. I can beat both genders. And, stalker much?" I say and look him up and down. My eyes rest on his face and I realize what he's doing. "What? Waiting on me to tell you how good of a player you are?"

He scratches the back of his head. "I mean, from one basketball player to another, it would be very appreciated." He says.

I shake my head. "Yeah…no." I say then leave the gym.

I don't know why I act like that around most guys. I'll admit he's cute, but…I don't know. There's something about him that makes me want to punch him in his face. I can't put my hand on it.

I open the gym doors and am instantly hit with the cool winds.

I begin my trail to my car, when I'm suddenly crowded by people with cameras.

"YOU'RE LIV ROONEY'S SISTER!"

Um…yeah, duh. We look alike.

I continue to walk, but it seems like they didn't want to let me go. They crowd me once again. I squeeze out and start running to my car. I can hear the footsteps behind me, so I pick up the pace. Soon, I'm at my car and I quickly unlock it and jump in. As soon as I'm in, I lock the door.

I look around and find my whole car crowded.

There's no way I'm getting out of here.

I roll down the window a little. "Can you guys please not crowd my car? I have somewhere to be." I tell the closest person to me.

He shakes his head. "Not unless you answer my question." He demands and I quickly roll up my window.

I look around. There's about 30 people crowding my car. How am I going to get out of this?

BEDOOP.

…annnnd my phone just died.

Josh's POV

"Yes, mom." I'm currently in a deep conversation with my mom about keeping myself until I'm married.

Do I want to do that? No.

I come from a VERY religious family. And no, I don't think that having a religion is bad but I don't think it's for me. I mean, I'm a guy and I want to explore meaning I want sex. Yes, I just said that. Sex. That's what I want, but I have to stay true to myself and my promise which was No Sex Until You're Sure That Girl is The One.

"Listen, honey. I just watched one of your new episodes yesterday and I loved you in that." My mom says. "Is there any chance you could tell me the ending of the series, so that I have something to bet on?" My mom loves to call me for answers, then use them in family bets on what's going to happen. She takes a lot of money back home.

I guess, mother and son are pretty close. Haha.

"Not this time, mom." Ugh, it pained me so much to say that.

What the…why are people crowding a red mustang?

Oh…Maddie!

"But—"

"—sorry mom, I have to go!" I quickly end the call and run over to Maddie's car. I squeeze through the crowd. Surprisingly no one noticed me. I think it's because I have this hood.

I knock on her passenger door.

She leans over and looks at me. "Oh thank god." I couldn't hear her, but her mouth formed those words.

She unlocks the door and I try my best to open it without giving the reporters room to ask their questions. I slide in and close the door. Maddie locks them behind me.

"Are you ok?" That's all that mattered, right?

She nods her head. "Yeah." I believed her for a second until I actually paid attention to her body language. "No, I'm not okay!" She suddenly yells. "Ugh, how am I going to get out of this?!"

She's cute when she's agitated.

"Um…" I notice a little crack. "Start your engine." I command and she does as I say. The crowd starts to move a little and I point to the wide crack now. "Go."

She speeds through them.

"Oh thank god." She says. "Thank you, Josh."

I smile. "You're welcome. You know, I deal with this stuff almost everyday so it's nothing to me." I tell her.

Maddie nods her head. "Yeah, thanks." She says then hits the breaks and unlocks the car doors.

I scoff, "So that's how you repay me by kicking me out?"

"Yup, pretty much." She responds.

I chuckle. "Hmm, nothing like your sister."

Maddie smiles. "That's a compliment to me, scrawny." Did she really just call me scrawny?

"Scrawny? I have you know that these…" I flex for her. "…are earned. I don't take steroids or pills. I work out."

Maddie laughs, "Yeah, right." She moves to lift my shirt and I stop her.

"Getting a little handsy now, are we?" I'm usually not this way around girls. It's just that Maddie…I get her. I don't know how. It feels like we're already connected somehow. That's weird, I know. This is like our fifth time being in the same area for longer than five minutes.

Maddie rolls her eyes. "No…" She pauses to think. How do I know she's thinking? Just trust me on that one. "…I just had to make sure that the boy's basketball coach knew what he was doing when choosing his players."

I'll play along with her.

"Hmmm…so, how did your coach choose you girls?" I ask. "Did she make y'all put on dresses and walk down the gym like it was a fashion show?"

"…get out of my car." I won that. Fair and Square.

I get out with no hesitation. "Fine." I close the door behind me and she quickly drives off. I shake my head. "Wow." This is what I get as a thank you.

I'm about four miles away from the gym.

Wow, how heroic of me…

Liv's POV

Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.

Oh my gosh, that's Maddie!

Yes!

I've been waiting all day to get this night started. A sleepover with just me and her and boys to talk about. What? I've been given direct order to throw some boys in Maddie's head to get an idea of what type of boy Maddie is into.

I open the door. "Hey Mad—"

I don't finish, because I'm at a lost for words.

"What are you—"

I'm cut off again when my lips are being seized by another pair of lips.

I open my eyes slowly, hoping that this isn't a dream.

"Hey Livy…"

Hopefully this chapter didn't disappoint. I have been awake all night trying to finish this and I finally did. LOL! I hope to have the next chapter posted by Wednesday, so be on the lookout.

For those wondering: Dan, Aaron, and Liam play football. Maddie, Josh, and Blake are basketball players.

We still have to see how that Liam–Dan thing will play out. Also, who just showed up at Liv's door? Yeah, your probably already guessed it. But is that girl's night called off? Or will this person help Liv in her quest? Sure, there has to be a guy out there for Maddie. Hmmm…who could it be?
