I was looking over the script during our break, when I felt William nudge my shoulder. I looked at him, quite annoyed since he's been trying to catch my attention this whole morning.

"Forgive him Ami." I rolled my eyes, bringing my attention back to the paper in front of me, mumbling words under my breath.

The tension was quite thick.

Louis sat on my right while Willie sat on my left. We were at our first table read for filming.

Luckily we didn't have to do any scenes today, just taking it slow and reading the first couple scenes.

I was still ignoring Louis since last night, he arrived an hour after I went back to Alex's apartment.

I ignored everyones questions and went straight to bed.

This morning, Louis knocked on my door, when I opened it and saw him standing there with boba in his hand, I grabbed it and closed the door on his face.

"How did he get boba this early in the morning? Eh doesn't matter, it'll take more than a boba run to get me to forgive him." I mumbled to myself as I got ready for the meeting.

The car ride here was awkward as well, no one talked, Willie kept glancing at Louis and I since he sat in the middle. He kept trying to make conversation, only Louis continuing on.

Once we got to the building, I rushed out, ignoring the yells from the car.

I tried to ignore Louis throughout break, but it was so hard since Mrs. Susan, the director, told us that we had to actually play the role when we go over our lines.

Louis thought I was such a good actress that he thought I actually forgave him.

I felt him come up to me at the refreshments table during our second break of the day.

"Hey Ami." Louis said while looking at me.

I didn't acknowledge him. Instead I grabbed some hot coco mix.

He must've noticed what I wanted, because he grabbed the hot coco mix out of my hand and making my hot coco.

When he handed it to me, he gave me a soft smile. I tried to be petty and keep a straight face, but my heart gave in. I gave him a small smile back.

He opened his arms wide, giving me a pouty face. I chuckled at him, softly punching his shoulder.

When I turned around to go back to the table, he pulled me into a hug. My back facing his chest, and his arms wrapped around me.

I felt myself tense up. This is the closest I've ever been to Louis physically.

"I'm so sorry Ami." He whispered, sending chills down my spine. "Please forgive me."

I turned myself around and hesitantly hugged him back, which he took greatly. My face was stuffed into his chest, since he's a giant compared to my 5'1 self, the top of my head barely reached his chin.

"I forgive you" I whispered back. He hugged me tighter.

We were so caught up in our hug, we didn't realize people stopped to stare at us. I heard a click from a camera. We separated to see Mrs. Susan admiring her phone. She looked up at us grinning and showed us the picture.

It was of Louis and I.

"We can use this in the movie!" She clapped her hands and hugging us both.

Louis grinned at me sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I'm gonna go over the next scene." I said as I walked back to the table to see Willie smirking at me.

"Why are you blushing Amiiiii" He nudged my shoulders. I nudged him back, rolling my eyes.

I put my head into my hands, feeling the warmth on my cheeks. Oh no, please stop, calm down AMI. I don't even know why I'm feeling like this, after what had happen this weekend, I thought i'd be traumatized. Maybe because it's Louis or maybe it's because I heard what he whispered to me that night.

I peeked through my hands to see Louis standing straight ahead of me. He was talking to Mrs. Susan who was showing him her phone. He smiled at it, taking it into his hands. He typed something onto her phone and took out his. He showed her his phone and said something along the line "Thank You". He gave her a hug and started walking back to the table, still staring at his phone smiling.

What is he smiling about?

After the meeting, the three of us sat on the curb waiting for Alex to pick us up.

We were all on our phones, strolling through apps. I felt Willie get up beside me and walked over to Louis who was already standing.

"Oi man what are you smiling at? Whenever I see you on your phone you're always smili-" William got cut off.

I turned around to the two boys. Louis was standing up like that one weird emoji, while Willie stood next to him, clutching his stomach.

"What happened?" I looked at the two. They answered at the same time.

"Nothing"

"Louis keeps staring at the pic-" William got cut off once again by Louis putting his hand on his mouth. Louis giving me a forced smile.

Weirdos.

I turned back around to see Alex's car turn the corner. I stood up, dusting myself.

"Guys he's here" I said to the two when Alex pulled up next to us. We all piled in, saying our hello's to the couple sitting in front.

"Timmy's picking up dinner, what do you guys want?" Alex said.

"Pizza"

"Raising Canes"

"Not hungry"

Everyone looked at me.

Alex eyed me in the mirror. "You're eating something, now choose"

I rolled my eyes before muttering "Raising Canes"

We decided to watch a movie during dinner. Jo and I wanted to watch To All The Boys while the boys groaned and suggested some scary movie, but Jo managed to grab the remote before they had the chance so we opted with our choice. We high-fived.

"Sorry guys, she's the boss" Alex shrugged his shoulders, getting cozy on the couch next to Jo.

William sat on my side, while Louis and Timmy sat on the side chairs of the couch.

I noticed Louis eyeing Willie and I. I gave him a small smile, which he returned.

The boys were strangely intrigued by the movie, constantly asking questions, but getting shushed by Jo and I.

Once the movie was over, the boys were yelling at the tv, Willie snatching the remote, searching for the second movie.

It wasn't out yet, it as going to be released the day after tomorrow. Which the boys agreed to stay up to watch so they can have their dying questions to be answered.

I excused myself to take a shower, making my way towards the shared room with William. I was getting some clothes from my drawers when I saw a gift on my bed.

I walked over and saw it had my name on it. I unwrapped it to see it was a book, turning it over, I gasped.

Holy crap.

It was the Call Me By Your Name book, the cover being timmy and Armie. I marveled at the sight. Turning it over to admire the art of the book when I opened the pages.

"it is better to speak or die?" - André Aciman

I hope this book finds you well Azami, and a better ending for a love story Elio never got.
                                                  -André

p.s. tell timmy i said hello

Oh my god. oh my god.

I sat down at my bed staring at Mr. Aciman's note. I can't believe this is real. I obviously knew who gave this to me. Louis. He probably thought the talk back at the meeting would work and this was his backup plan.

I wondered why he got me this specific book. I sat there thinking, the book turning in my hands when I heard a knock at my door.

I looked over to see Louis standing at the doorframe, glancing at the book in my hands then to me.

"Hey." He said, smile at his lips.

"Hi... thank you by the way, for the book. I love it." I gestured for him to sit next to me.

He shrugged at me, walking over. "No big deal, I'm just glad you forgive me."

"I could never be mad at you long enough, I know you meant well and plus we're coworkers so I have no choice." I chuckled.

We both sat in silence, our legs touching, no awkward tension in the air.

"Um I want to ask" We made eye contact. "Why this book?" Bringing the book up to eye level.

He started to get up, redness rising up on his cheeks. He walked around the room, looking around at the stuff.

"Hellooooo Louissss" I grabbed his attention.

He was already at the door when he finally decided to answer.

"It was that book you kept looking at when we went to the bookstore." With that he left and went to his room, closing the door behind him.

It was the book he took a picture of.

A/N

if you're confused, i think it was in chapter 11 when they went to the bookstore in the airport before they left for L.A. and she heard him take a picture of something
