32

At dinner Dotty was in between Harry and Fionn who both were chatting to the rest of the guys like usual. However, the girl remained quiet. Despite not showing it, the young woman felt rather embarrassed about what had happened earlier. It made her feel as if the guys didn't think she was able to look after herself.

Fionn especially was always asking if she was okay. So was Tom. Maybe she was just over reacting? However, that is what she felt.

Dotty ate in silence, she didn't really listen to the conversations either. Even after they finished and exited the restaurant she stayed at the back of the group. Taking in the scenery, Dotty took a few photographs and stopped by a lamp post to tie her shoelaces.

Fionn spotted the girl and waited for her to catch up. She smiled at him and continued walking, but Fionn had other ideas. "Dotty?" He asked her. "Are you alright?"

Dotty cried out "Yes! Gosh, I can look after myself. I'm fine!"

Fionn held his hands up, "hey, hey, hey, I was only asking!" He backed away from Dotty a little, confused by her reaction to his simple question.

"Sorry," She sighed. "I didn't mean to snap. I...I just... I feel like you guys don't think I can look after myself after the whole finger and head thing earlier."

Fionn chuckled, "No we don't. We understand that you are clumsy. We all are. You just happen to be a little bit more so."

Dotty pressed her head into her hands. "This is even more embarrassing."

Fionn pulled the girl into a hug, "just stop. Don't be embarrassed." Dotty melted into his arms pressing her head onto his shoulders. "I should be embarrassed that you are taller than me. Please never wear heals around me."

"Me wear heals? You'd have to hold my hand so I don't trip." She laughed pulling away from him.

"Am I only hold your hand when you wear heals? Or can I hold you hand whenever?" Fionn smirked.

"I don't see why not." Fionn smiled and held his hand out for the girl. She linked her fingers with his and they ran free the others who were quite far ahead.

Once seeing everyone else not far ahead they slowed to just strolling, the cold nights air nipping at their exposed skin. Fionn's thumb trailed over the back of Dotty's hand and he couldn't keep a smile off of his face.

Dotty was on fire. Her cheeks were rosey red and not from the cold air. A strange feeling erupted in her stomach as she and Fionn held hands. Goosebumps settled on her arms and her smile was only growing wider.

For Fionn, a similar feeling was taking over him. He had had a crush before and knew the familiar feeling. The boy was coming to terms with the crush he had on Dotty despite knowing her for a few weeks. As cliché and cheesy as it sounds, she was like no other girl he had met before.

There was a few problems.

After filming they would be doing different things.

And she was the director's daughter.

And he didn't know how she felt.

Fionn hoped that she wasn't just being friendly when letting him hold her hand. He hoped that how she acted around him wasn't just her being friendly and nothing more.

One hand swiped through his hair and the other remained in Dotty's. They both walked in silence as they caught up with the rest of the group on their way back to the hotel.

Once back at the hotel, Dotty's hand slid from his leaving him to miss her hold. "I need to talk to my dad. I'll see you in the morning?" She asked him.

"Of course. G'night, Dotty."

"Night, Fionn." She smiled and headed off to a different side of the hotel from where the others were watching them.

Fionn turned around to meet the states from the others. "Just friends, huh?" Asked Barry.

"Yeah, one mustn't tell lies, Fionnly. You should know that we watched Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix last night." Harry added.

"Oh, shush." He blushed.

"Sounds like you fancy him, Dotty." Said Christoper as his daughter finished telling him about the evening she just had. Dotty was laid down on her fathers bed whilst he sat at the desk running over some paperwork.

Dotty groaned, "but I can't."

"Why can't you?"

"Because he works for you! You're his director! Dad, I didn't come here for a relationship! I can where to work because you said it'll be better than McDonalds, get me out of the house and be better on my CV!"

Chris laughed, "yes but I had thought of the whole crush thing. I don't mind, Dotty, if he makes you happy then so be it. Fionn is a lovely lad and your mother would like him too! Dotty, if you like him, tell him."

"You brought me here to meet someone?"

"No!" Cried Chris, "I just had thought over the possibility because the cast is mainly men, with very few female extras. I figured it would be bound to happen." He glanced at his daughter he rested on her hands and was looking at him incredulously.

"So you are okay with me having a crush on Fionn?"

Christopher nodded and stood up making his way over to his daughter. "Of course I am. Now, either go get him now or go to sleep. We have an early start tomorrow."

Dotty nodded kissing her father's cheek and exiting the room. She followed the stairs up to the floor her room was on. Passing the boys' door she paused and approached it ready to knock on it.

Taking a deep breath she raised her fist to the door but didn't knock on it.

Instead, she walked away towards her room.

Fionn poked his head out of the door and watched as she disappeared into the room. He sighed, shutting the door slowly and waiting a while just in case she changed her mind.

She didn't.
