"Of course I took the part!" Bailey exclaimed into her cell phone as she walked around the warehouse aimlessly. Keeping an eye out for a petite woman with short and chunky black hair that Mr.Parker told her to meet up with, a smile continued to glow on her face.

"That's great!" Joe exclaimed on the other line, taking a temporary seat in Mr.Parker's director chair since there wasn't any place else to sit. Still on the little 'break' to practice his catching, he had to take Bailey's excited phone call before doing anything else.

"Joe, I'm so excited. You have no idea!" she breathed out, her heart pounding as she was still taking in everything that was happening. First, playing a back-up extra in J.O.N.A.S., then having a tiny part in a commercial, and now one of the lead roles in a Disney Channel Original Movie. It was insane. "Oh, hey! Do you wanna grab dinner sometime later? Like, when you're done and stuff? -I don't think Parker is going to give me anything else tonight."

"Yeah! Definitely. -But just the two of us, right?" he smiled into the phone, missing her body by his side.

"Duh." she chuckled before catching sight of the tiny woman she was looking for. "Look, I found the woman, so just call me back once you wrap up the episode, alright?" Bailey asked, her feet moving underneath her as she closed in on the woman.

"Sure thing." he replied. "Love you."

"Love you too!" she smiled before hanging up, the distance between her and the mystery woman quickly decreasing. "Excuse me." she spoke up politely, the woman slowly turning around with a smug look plastered on her face. Once it processed in her mind who she was, her face softened.

"Oh my! Bailey Baker, it's a pleasure to finally meet you!" she exclaimed, reaching for her hand and shaking it gratefully.

"Ummm." Bailey hummed, then chuckled in confusion.

"Please excuse me, I'm Madam Louise, I'm the writer of the script for 'Traffic Jam'." she smiled, letting her hand fall from her grasp. "I've known about you for a while, Ms.Baker." Louise grinned.

"Oh, really?" Bailey chuckled, her hand slipping in her back pocket, her heart pumping in her chest as she listened to the woman continue.

"Every since you started dating that Jonas boy, I've read about you in all the gossip magazines. You're a gorgeous one!" she complimented, making Bailey blush as she poked her stomach.

After listening to the woman ramble on for a few more minutes, saying how she loved her commercial, she began to explain why she wanted her for the part. With a small part being because she was dating Joe Jonas and it'd pull in a handful of fans, a bigger part was because she could actually act. Take Joe out of the picture, and she still was perfect for the part. Madam Louise just had to snatch her up to play the part of 'Kelsey'.

"Well dear, don't you want to meet your co-star? You should get a little familiar with him before you start practicing your lines together." Louise stated.

"Um, sure." Bailey smiled, still caught up in the moment, the 'him' sparking her attention a bit. "When do we start anyway?"

"In a few days, I believe." she smiled in return, then started to walk through the warehouse. "Oh look! There he is." Madam Louise hissed excitedly, motioning to the back of some guy's head who was a few yards in front of them at a little 'refreshment' table that was set up over to the side of the walkway.

"What's his name?" Bailey questioned, looking over at her for a moment. "I won't wanna look totally stupid introducing myself to someone who I don't even know." she chuckled.

"Oh oh. That's Bobby Knox." she quickly replied, then shooed her over to him, giving her a little nudge. She waved her off, then approached the stranger from behind. Bailey then became a little nervous, wondering what to even say to the boy.

"Excuse me." she began politely, causing the boy to turn around and look at her. His ice blue eyes stared back at hers, his black, spiky hair making them pop out even more. Standing about eight inches above her 5'4" frame, she could tell he was toned. The curves of his arms shown through the thing fabric of his faded blue, American Apparel t-shirt as his stance showed that he knew how to hold himself up. "I'm Bailey Baker. I believe I'm going to be working with you on this new movie." she smiled up at him, keeping her manners in check as she tried to ignore the fact that he looked absolutely gorgeous.

"Ok, I care because?" he snapped back, his stare freezing over her body. Taken aback at first with a blank stare, Bailey's soft, open face hardened at his unneeded attitude, her eyes shooting daggers at him.

"You shouldn't now, asshole." she retorted, tempted to just storm away from him right then, but went against it as his evil expression faded.

"Oh no no no. It's a line, from the script!" he replied quickly, his eyes turning into the most comforting color she'd ever seen as he shook the packet of papers he was holding in front of him. "Pretty good, huh?" he grinned, watching as a tiny smile formed on her face. "I'm Bobby." he put his hand out for her to shake it.

"Bailey." she replied, grabbing his smooth hand and squeezing it.

"I'm not that much of an ass, I promise." he commented, making her chuckle for a moment.

"You sure had me convinced." Bailey replied, the angry spike in her mood began to fade away.

"No no, I'm really not." Bobby laughed. "I'll prove it to you!"

"Uh-huh. How?" she eyed him, watching as a thoughtful expression took over his face. It wasn't for another moment until he replied.

"I don't know, but I'm not." he finally spat out. "Hey, do you just wanna walk around and chat? You know, so I can find out if I'm working with a stuck-up actress who thinks she's the shit." Bailey's head fell back in a laugh.

"Like wise." she replied, prior to him giving her a small smile.

Over the next forty-five minutes, the two just trailed around the warehouse, talking about random stuff. Everything from how they each got started, to their families and friends, and to their favorite music. If it wasn't for 'Country Grammar' singing from Bobby's cell phone, the two would've continued on.

Smiling weakly a putting up a finger to put Bailey's story on hold, he flipped open his phone and placed it up to his ear. "Hey! . . . Nope, still here. . . . Oh, really? . . . Yeah! I'll meet you there in a few." she watched as Bobby smiled. "Yeah, ok. Bye!" he closed his phone then slid it back into his pocket. "Girlfriend." he sighed, making her laugh at his tone. "-But sorry, continue."

"Oh, no." Bailey laughed. "It's nothing. -But, thanks for the reminder. I have to make a phone call real fast."

"Boyfriend?" he questioned, followed by her nodding with a grin. He nodded in acknowledgement, then watched as she took out her phone and placed it to her ear.

"Hey babe." she smiled after a few rings.

"Hey!" Joe exclaimed, happy to hear her voice.

"Aye, we still up for dinner?" Bailey questioned, her mouth hanging open a little as she waited his response. Listening to his breathing for a moment, her mood slowly began to fall.

"Um, Bails, you think we could reschedule? We've gotta get back to the house, crash for a few, then we're back here at three in the morning. Parker wants us up and raring to go." he reluctantly replied, his heart dropping in his throat, feeling bad that he had to cancel.

"Oh, don't worry about it." Bailey smiled, understanding where he was coming from. "You need your rest. I've gotta get back as well." she heard Joe let out a breath of relief.

"Alright. We'll do something another night. Maybe tomorrow, depending on what's going on." Joe quickly responded, anxious to make plans to see her again. He knew he wouldn't be seeing her for the rest of the night, and who knew what the entire schedule for the next day would be, so he had to get his extra two cents in to brighten her up.

"Ok, sweet." she smiled. "Alright, I'll let you go, ok? Be good." she chuckled at her last comment.

"Alright, mother." he joked. "Love you!"

"Love you too." she replied without hesitation.

Joe ended the call, then slipped his iPhone back into his pocket. Glancing around the empty set for his brothers, he caught a glimpse of Jasmine approaching him out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey there." she greeted friendly. "So, the crew's heading out to grab a bite to eat. You in?"

"Nah, I can't. Kev, Nick and I need to get back to the house. Unlike you, Parker wants us back early." he replied, his tone sounding down as his eyes shifted over at her showing a little sympathy.

"Oh, too bad you have no choice." Jasmine chuckled. "Nick and Kevin already said they're up for it. Looks like you're out of luck." Joe forced out a chuckle. "Come on." she continued, grabbing his hand and leading him to where the rest of the group was.

Feeling a little bad for canceling with Bailey in the first place, he felt even worse now that he was being dragged out for food anyway, going back on his 'we need to get rest' line. Biting his tongue and giving the group a weak smile, his thoughts were drowned out by the growling of his stomach. Forgetting about the tiny situation, he then began to wonder what good restaurants were in the area.
