"Okay, now just say that line again louder and with more angst!" The director called out.

Soleil nodded and then looked back at her co-star, Brayden Welch. She sighed deeply and then mustered up enough conviction to repeat the line.

"No..no...baby. You can't leave me! You can't fly to Paris! You can't leave me!" She started the water works. "YOU CAN'T! I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH."

"I'm..sorry. I'm so sorry, sweetheart." Brayden shot her a look of anguish. "But I must go." He then stepped away somberly.

"AND CUT!" The director called out, pleased with the take.

Soleil wiped the fake tears off her face and smiled. She caught Brayden's glance. "We did so great on this scene."

"We did. I'm just so glad it's lunch break now." He grinned and then waved at her, walking off.

Soleil was happy to get a break, seeing as they'd spent all morning in hair, make-up, wardrobe, and shooting a scene. Soleil walked over to her trailer and stepped in. She found her cell phone on the table and saw that she had received a call while she'd been away.

"JC.." She said softly seeing it had been his number and she hit the callback button.

JC heard his phone go off during his own break in the studio. He answered it. "Hello? Soleil?"

"Yeah, it's me." She grinned. "I see you called and figured I'd call you back."

He smiled, hearing her sweet voice. "Yeah..I kinda forgot that you might've been filming. I was hoping to catch you before you started."

"It's okay, baby. No problem at all. I'm here now. So what's up?"

"I was actually going to ask you if you received anything. I sent you something last night and I assumed it would get to you today." She was just about to answer, when she heard a tap at the trailer door.

"Umm..hold on, Jace." She stood up from the table and answered the door. A young man with a huge bouquet of red roses stood in front of her.

"Miss Landry? These are for you." He handed her the bouquet.

She nodded and then took the roses from him. "Thanks." She said softly and then returned to her conversation with JC.

"So guess what I just got?!" She exclaimed, happily.

He chuckled. "Umm..red roses?"

"Yep, good guess." He chuckled again.

"Did you check for a card? There should be one." Soleil grinned and reached in the bouquet, finding a small card.

"Ohh..I found it. Let me read it out loud. Soleil - I am so proud of you and I can't wait to visit you. Until then, behave and only think of me. -JC"

He listened to her and then spoke when she finished. "So...did I do good? You like the roses?"

She sighed, contently. "Of course! Thank you so much. I love them and you did real good."

He grinned. "Awesome. So I was thinking that maybe I could come visit next weekend. As of rght now, I don't have anything else penciled in there."

"Really?! That would be wonderful. I can't wait to see you."

He chuckled. "Me neither, me neither." Then he heard the other producer he was working with call for him.

"Ugh...Soleil, I gotta go, sugar. Duty calls in the studio." She sighed, not really wanting to have to end the call already.

"Okay..okay. I need to eat some lunch, anyways. Take care and I'l talk to you again soon, Chasexy."

He chuckled softly. "You know what? If you can...just sign on tonight after you're done filming and we'll talk some more in a chat."

"Yeah..that sounds good to me. Later, handsome."

"Bye, beautiful." Soleil closed her phone when the call ended and brought the roses up to her nose. She breathed in the scent and sighed contently. He had just scored brownie points.

After the lunch break and another go around in make-up and hair, filming had started again. Soleil and Brayden had to shoot two short scenes. It was suppose to go fast and be easy. Though Soleil kept screwing up this one line. The line wasn't meant to be funny, but it was to her and she'd bust out laughing each time. After like 30 takes the one scene had finally gotten it's perfect take. After finishing up the other scene it was a wrap for the night.

Soleil couldn't have been happier to hear the director call a wrap and walked back to her trailer, ready to crash.

She stepped inside and quickly changed out of her wardrobe. She found her silky pajamas and put them on. Then she stepped over to her mirror and pulled her hair down. She wiped off some make-up and looked at herself really well. She knew she would get bags under her eyes if she didn't go to bed. That meant she'd have to forgo signing on to chat with JC.

"Sorry, baby." She said softly to herself and then stepped over to the bed. She got on and slid into the covers. She fell asleep, hoping to have dreams of her handsome beau.

Back in California, Sandrine was home alone at the house she and Soleil had purchased together. It was another boring night in her life and there wasn't much excitement without Soleil. She was really bored. Soleil was always telling her she needed to get out more and maybe even find hersef a man. Sandrine knew that she maybe needed to be more sociable, but she was also a busy and independent woman. Until the day her life got more exciting, Sandrine was going to let her sister's business be her own business.

Sandrine grabbed a cookie from the kitchen and then headed into their office to check her email. She logged onto the computer and finished off her cookie, as her inbox popped up saying she had no new e-mails.

"Oh well...hmm..what to do now." She sighed and started just moving the cursor aimlessly. A minute later, she clicked out of the internet window and then grinned as her eyes landed on the AIM icon.

She clicked on the icon and watched the box to log on pop up. She decided to type in her sister's screenname. She wasn't sure of her password, but took a stab at it.

"So predictable, Soleil." She smirked as the program loaded and the buddylist appeared. Within seconds, a message appeared on the screen.

Chasexy One: Hey Soli! You came around for our late night chat!

Sandrine knew this was going to be real fun to pretend to be her sister and would take the opportunity.

Ray Of Soleil: Yep! You know I love our chats.

Chasexy One: As do I! So how did filming go today?

Ray Of Soleil: Fine. Tiring, but fun.

Chasexy One: Good..good. So have you talked to Sandrine yet, after you hung up on her?

"Oohh...now this could definitely get interesting.." Sandrine said out loud to herself.

Ray Of Soleil: No, I haven't. I didn't get the chance yet.

Chasexy One: Oh..okay. Well just remember what she told you was just crap. You know you're the one I want to be with.

Ray Of Soleil: So you didn't have sex with Koi Fysh or the Kaba Modern girls?!

JC looked at the response, finding it real odd.

Chasexy One:What are you talking about? Are you okay? We already talked about this and you know I wouldn't do that to you.

Ray Of Soleil: I don't know..I guess I'm just rethinking everything. I know my sister likes to look out for me and I have to take her thoughts into consideration.

Sandrine chuckled to herself. This was getting juicy now. She wasn't even feeling guilty.

Chasexy One Soleil, I know you value your sister's opinion. Which is fine, but not in everything. You know I love you, you love me, and no one else should have a say in that.

Ray Of Soleil:Yeah..well sometimes words can be false. They can be like thorns on roses.

Chasexy One: That's true, but I've never not been honest wiht you. I've always been honest. Plus, the roses I sent don't have thorns.

"He sent roses, huh?" She smirked and then let her fingers type another fake reply.

Ray Of Soleil Umm..yeah, about those roses. I kinda smashed them.

Chasexy One:Oh? Um...I can just bing you some more when I visit.

Ray Of Soleil:I wouldn't bother to visit anymore. I mean..I think things between my co-star and I are heating up!

JC's jaw dropped and he was so confused.

Chasexy One:Please tell me you're just kidding, Soli! You really don't like him like that. Brayden was it? Anyways...doesn't matter. I'm going to visit you next weekend.

Sandrine just continued her little game.

Ray Of Soleil: Brayden Welch. That's his name. I just think it might be better for us to break things off, Jace.  So don't come visit me and don't send me more roses or anything.

He was now wanting to pick up his computer and throw it out the window.

Chasexy One:I can't believe this, Soleil. Why are you doing this?

Ray Of Soleil: I've just been thinking like I told you and I don't know..I think I have to just back away from you. Sandrine could be right and maybe someone else out there is my real prince charming. I'm sorry!

JC clenched his jaw and typed the most painful reply.

Chasexy One:FINE! GO TO HELL, SOLEIL! I can't believe you're doing this, but whatever. Enjoy your little schmuck co-star and whatever else comes your way! I loved you, but I guess that still wasn't enough for you. Do NOT call me, talk to me, or contact me in any way!

He then signed off and picked up the vase that was beside his computer. He through it across the room letting it shatter against the wall. He didn't even care that he just did it either. He stood up and walked over to his bed. He flopped onto it and felt his heart ache. It started aching so bad that he knew he probably could never fully get over her. He had loved her for close to a year and had really expected her to be different then any of the other girls in his past. Now he was just confused and heartbroken.

He didn't get it. He saw no sign of this coming, but then again everything in Hollywood was bizarre. You could never be too sure or careful, especially when it came to girls. He now promised himself to stay away from actresses. Tara, Eva, and now Soleil. Damn...three strikes, you're out!

"Girls...what bitches." He muttered and cried himself to sleep.

Sandrine signed off after JC had signed off. She loved how briskly he did it. She loved how she or "Soleil" hadn't even gotten a final sentiment in. Though she knew it was all for the best,'cause she loved her sister and didn't want her to get her heart broken. There had to be someone else out there for Soleil and she certainly didn't need someone like JC who was too damn fuckable.

She headed upstairs to her bedroom to get some sleep and acutally fell alseep without much more thought to the matter. What was done was done. Now she just had to wait for the earful that she knew Soleil would probably give her.
