Accidentally Engaged Page #7

I know.

So, where'd you head off to?

I ran into Chas, and

we just talked for a while.

Mm-hmm. Sure. You talked

for a little while.

Anyway, what did you guys do

after I left?

I have no clue.

Honestly, the last thing

I remember

was Suzie yanking that tiara off

my head or something like that.

Well, for someone who's hurting,

you sure do clean up well.

Thank you.

I do look beautiful, don't I?

Wow, I can't believe

this day is really happening.

We would talk about this

so much when we were little.

Remember, we used to take those

white sheets off my mom's bed

and we would wrap them around ourselves

and make them our wedding dresses,

and then use

the pillow cases as veils.

Yes, I remember.

And I remember how you would

always give me the fitted sheets

because they were

too crinkly for you.

And I remember how you'd always say you

were going to get married before me.

- Remember that?

- Yeah.

Because you were

such a total wild child.

I know.

Well, I have a feeling that

somebody isn't too far behind me.

Maya, listen,

there's something I need...

[Kelly] Hey, guys.

My! Look at you!

You look so beautiful.

I can't express how beautiful I think

you look without cursing in a church,

so I'll just shut up.

All right, ladies,

five minutes and counting.

Let's get our things

organized, shall we?

Okay.

Okay. This is it.

This is... really it.

You're gonna nail it, just like

you did when we were kids,

crinkly fitted sheets and all.

[guests cheering]

What's all this? Did your

mom get more photographers?

[male reporter] Clarissa, are you

and Chas Hunter married now?

No, no, this wasn't my wedding.

This is my friend,

Maya's wedding.

Clarissa, is Chas here?

We know he's staying in town.

Yeah, Chas is here. We're

having a wonderful time.

But if you guys wouldn't mind letting

my friends enjoy their wedding day,

we kind of need to get past?

Over here. Over here.

[jazz music playing]

[cell phone ringing]

Hey, Jeannette, what's up?

How's the reception?

It's great.

I mean, it's winding down now,

but everyone had a lot of fun.

I see that the paparazzi are

already posting photos online.

Chas isn't even in them.

You're kind of famous now, huh?

Yeah. Probably because I look like

I'm freaking out in every photo.

I swear they, like, hide in the bushes

and jump out at the worst moment.

Well, get used to it, honey.

Because you have nine auditions

when you get back next week.

Two features, three reoccurring,

and four commercials.

Just for you, hon.

Seriously?

Nine auditions? That's amazing.

Well, that's the biz for ya.

All right, you go have fun and I will

see you back here next week, okay?

Yeah. Thanks, Jeannette.

Hey, I didn't hear you there.

It's probably the buzz of excitement

from your nine upcoming auditions.

You heard?

Well, first I heard the scream.

And then... the nine auditions.

I'm happy for you, Riss.

You deserve it.

And you look stunning tonight.

Thanks, Graham.

You look great, too.

Thank you.

What are you doing, Riss?

Looking for paparazzi.

I know, okay?

I know all about this.

Suzie was tipsy, I don't know

half of what she was saying.

But she did tell me that everything

between you and Chas is a sham.

No, no, no. See... It's...

Riss.

Please.

Okay.

So, the truth is...

I lost this big job in LA.

And I really didn't want everyone here

to know that I was a failure, so...

One lie just led to another, and

then to another, and then I just...

You just... realized

you actually like him.

What? No. No, no. No.

- No?

- No, no. Definitely not.

He's not my type.

He's got a really crazy life.

You remember

that thing you told me?

About how I should let myself

get closer to Kelly?

It stuck with me,

and you're right.

You should take your own advice.

It's different.

You don't know that.

You two could have something.

Something great.

Really?

Really.

I mean, not that that dude

could ever be as cool as me,

but...

he could try.

I'm glad... that we never dated.

'Cause I never wanna lose...

my best friend.

- See you later.

- Yeah. Well, bye.

[soft jazz music playing]

Hey, I've been looking for you.

Well, you've found me.

What's up?

Thought I'd ask you to dance.

- You did?

- Mmm-hmm.

Yeah. I was dancing with Veronica,

but she's kind of got two left feet,

and she strangely asked me to sign

her bridesmaids' dress, so...

I'm kind of exhausted.

It's probably for the best. Probably

too much for you to handle.

Is that so?

I used to dance when I was

younger, so, I'm pretty awesome.

Well, I think I'll be

the judge of that.

- I'll try to keep up.

- Okay.

- You are pretty good.

- You, too.

Well, I've taken

a bit of dance myself.

Fancy.

[slow piano music playing]

So, now that you're

a big-time celebrity...

what do you think of the press?

It... kind of sucks.

It feels like I stole my best

friends' thunder on her wedding day.

But I don't know. I don't know if I

can ever be a superstar, though.

It must be tough.

You kind of get used to it

after a while.

It's just a bunch of

lights, camera, action.

Sorry. Didn't plan that part.

What about that girl

you're seeing?

Right. Yeah.

Yeah. I guess I just...

Caught up in the moment.

I know.

The world around us

just disappeared I guess.

Yeah. Me, too.

It's nice.

Yeah.

I see you got some auditions.

Yeah, that's great!

Yeah, I mean, thanks to you.

If this accidental engagement

leads to me booking

something legit,

I really can never thank you.

Come on. You already have.

How?

This town, your

friends, your folks.

Kind of amazing.

A vacation from the madness,

I guess.

I needed it.

Badly. I just didn't realize it.

That's great. I'm glad

you had a good time.

I mean, it's kind of been

a vacation for me, too.

Yeah? Coming home?

Partly.

Mainly I guess from myself.

- Remember that argument I had with Kelly?

- Yeah.

It was about how insecure I

used to be when I was younger.

And, I don't know, when I'm with

you, I don't feel that way.

I mean, I should, but I don't.

Nobody should ever make

anybody else feel insecure.

We do enough of that

to ourselves every day.

True.

[Suzie gasping]

[Suzie] Oh, my God!

Chas! Chas!

Randall and Alicia!

My PI caught them

making out at a day spa!

And he got photos! Look!

Ew.

So gross.

But isn't that fantastic?

Now I can get a divorce, and you and

I can be insanely rich together.

Her and her husband, it's...

kind of a weird thing.

Okay, I guess it's over now.

What? You don't owe her

an explanation.

- Let's just get it over with.

- What?

The big break up. It's

perfect, at a wedding.

It works on so many levels.

Suzie, can you just

give me a minute here?

Sure, sure, yeah.

Get into character.

Find your moment before.

Then break up.

Just give me the ring.

The ring?

You're marrying her?

- No.

- No.

You want this? Fine.

Take it.

It's just a prop anyway, right?

For this whole act.
