Weeks Before...

While Timmy took both Willie and Ami out for the day, I decided it was time to hatch my plan. After speaking to Mrs. Susan and getting her approval, it came to dawn on me that I wasn't the best at these kinds of things.

I had to take an uber to a nearby Michael's craft store. I stood in an aisle pondering which item would be best for the surprise. As I finished getting a workers input, I paid for the it.

Rushing back home and luckily having the apartment to myself. I took out the stuff I had just bought. I stared at the colorful beads and wire laying on the table. How the hell am I supposed to do this?

After countless mishaps and frustration outbreaks, I decided to rely on youtube to help me out. I carefully watched the video as I put together beads that I thought would match Ami's character, also making a stack of letter beads that spelled out her characters name.

A smile grew on my face as I finally got the hang of the bracelet making process. I held it up in the air once I had finished, a grin plastered on my face. She's going to love this.

I put it to the side, my eyes drawing their attention back to the leftover beads. Wait hold on. Turns out creativity was on my side today as I decided to make another bracelet.

Present Time : Ami's POV
(the day after Ami talking to Alex and Willie about the Louis and Ami thing)

"Hey wake up" I felt someone nudge my shoulders, jolting me awake.

I rubbed my eyes and looked up to the person.

"You're still tired? It's only 11 a.m."  Timmy sat down next to me, handing me a cup of coffee.

"Thanks", I muttered taking a sip, "I didn't get much sleep last night and Mrs. Susan had us come in earlier to do an emergency table read cause she included a scene last minute."

Timmy faced me, a smirk on his lips, "Couldn't sleep because your Louis bear wasn't there to cuddle you?" He teased.

I rolled my eyes at him, "Shut up, you're so annoying." I began to walk away, hoping it would wake me up some more.

"You love me!" Timmy called out.

"They're ready for you Ami, you're doing scene number 36" One of Mrs. Susan's assistants came up to me, handing me my script. I looked over the paper even though we practiced it today. It was the last minute scene Mrs. Susan decided to include.

"Thank you, I'll be heading there now." I smiled at him before walking away with the thick book in my hands. I try to be nice to everyone on set, they're apart of this movie as much as the main cast is, and they deserve all my respect.

"Yup anyways this is my-" I recited my lines before someone interrupted me.

He flashed me a cheesy smile, one I returned back. "Hey darlingg," He said, slightly bouncing on his heel.

"Hi Lou." I said before glancing back at the paper.

"Why are you practicing your lines? We literally had a table read that lasted an hour and a half just for this scene." he grabbed the book out of my hands as I tried to reach for it while he held it above his head. Way beyond my reach.

I eventually gave up and sat back onto my chair as he stood next to me. "Ugh I know, this scene is probably what like 3 minutes? I mean it took forever to do that table read, and we didn't even go over it most of the time because she was busy talking to you!"

Louis looked away, his cheeks stained pink. "I mean more practice the better right?" I chuckled at him.

"All cast on set!" One of the crew members yelled out.

Louis then put out his arm for me to hold, "Ready to go M'lady?"  

I laughed before interlocking my arm with his, "Why of course sire!" Off we went to our sticker marks.

"Okay guys so we're going to start the scene at the beginning of the block and as you guys walk towards your house Ami, your conversation will begin, and don't forget to stop at the sticker mark in front of your house before you go in!" We nodded at Mrs. Susan before she walked away.

Louis and I got into position, I putting my bracelet into my pocket and adjusting my backpack, him adjusting his shirt.

"Scene 36, Take 1" The crew member said into the camera.

Louis and I began to walk on the sidewalk leading to my "house". I looked around the setting as Louis was facing down and kicking a rock.

"I mean I can always help you out, you know?" Louis stated. I looked over at him.

"Thanks, but I don't think I need help from the new guy in town to know how to have fun and live life." I quoted teasingly.

"Yeah true, but who knows maybe I want to show you how to have fun and live life." Louis lowered his voice at the end.

I felt my breath hitch, "And why would you want to show me?"

He stepped closer to me as we stopped at the sticker mark in front of my house. "So we can live life together." He whispered into my ear. I didn't speak for a moment as it said not to on the script before looking back at my house.

"Oh well yup anyways this is my place, so um see you tomorrow I guess." I stammered out before turning around and walking away. That is before a hand pulled me back.

I looked at Louis in shock. I pretended to look around the neighborhood when I was actually looking at Mrs. Susan behind the camera who held up a sign that said, "Improvise!" 

Oh crap.

I turned back to Louis who was holding my wrist. He began to take something out of his pockets, still staring deep into my eyes.

"Since I'll be showing you how to live life or whatever, I'll give you this." I looked down as he put a bracelet onto my wrist, similar to the one I had in my pocket in that very moment.

He put his face close to mine, "It's so everyone knows you're my partner and only mine."

Then he walked away and didn't look back. I couldn't  do anything but stay standing there, shocked and confused. This was not in the script.

"Cut!" Someone behind camera yelled out. Mrs. Susan ran up to me, clapping her hands. "That was wonderful, my dear, just wonderful!" She gave me a warm hug.

"I-uh thanks, thank you Susan, I just, that was not on the script wasn't it?" I asked her as she gave me a knowing smile.

"It was not, but you handled it so well, for your first on sight improv scene!" She hugged me once more.

"Thank you, but who put in that scene?" I questioned her. Her eyes darted behind me, I turned around to see Louis walking towards us. "I think you should ask him." then she walked away.

"Hey that was amazing!" Louis yelled out as he hugged me.

I looked at him confused. "Did you add that scene in without telling me?" He looked down guilt fully.

He scratched his neck, avoiding eye contact. "Yeah...I did. But hey now you get to wear your bracelet during scenes now!" I didn't even think about it. I looked down at it hanging on my wrist and read my characters name spelled out.

"Thanks Lou." I pulled him in for a hug.

"Of course, I actually made it myself." I felt my heart melt. "I also made one for myself see?" He rolled up his sleeves to show his bracelet on his elbow, which he rolled down to his wrist.

I took his wrist, scanning the name written down. Hmm that's weird.

"Why does it say darling?" I asked him, still holding his wrist in my palm.

He coughed a little before answering, "Well it's your nickname. And I made a matching one for you here." He snatched his arm back, digging through his pockets.

He took out another bracelet and put it on my wrist. This one having another name. Lou.

He smiled at me as I pulled him in for another hug.

"Thank you." I spoke into his chest.

To which he replied, "Anything for you."
