“I'm decent at acting. I always ace drama class anyway,” she laughed.
“Do you plan on acting professionally?” he asked.
“No, I'm not pretty enough,” Amber shrugged, “I'm not being all self-depreciative to get compliments either. I'm just not Hollywood material.”
“I think you're pretty enough,” Joshua grinned, “but I don't think you'd like Hollywood. You tend to avoid large groups of people and if you were a famous actress you'd be surrounded all the time.”
“I'd never finish my reading list then,” Amber laughed.
“Yeah, I don't think movie directors like to be kept waiting for books,” Joshua chuckled.
“I don't think most of them know how to read books, because if they did some movies would have been a lot longer and more thought out,” Amber said.
“True,” Joshua laughed.
“Here we go,” Rachel said appearing carrying out their dinner, “Do you guys need anything else?”
“I’m good,” Amber said.
“Me too,” Joshua added.
“Okay, if you do need anything else, let me know,” Rachel said and disappeared back into the kitchen.
“So what's the plan when we do get back to the library?” Joshua asked.
“I don't think we're going to have time. Dad's supposed to pick me up at five-thirty and it's almost five now,” Amber said.
“That's why you didn't want to eat out,” Joshua said.
“Yep,” Amber nodded, “It's okay though. I've had fun. I'll just come back tomorrow and look.”
“What if I told you I don't care if the spell is ever reversed?” Joshua asked,
“That would just be the spell talking,” Amber frowned.
“If you think so,” Joshua chuckled.
“You think I'm crazy, don't you?” Amber asked.
“No, I don't. I'm not under a spell, but I think it's sweet you're so worried about what's fair to me. Although, it's becoming a bit frustrating,” Joshua admitted.
“Yeah, tell me about it. How do you think I feel?” Amber laughed.
“I can understand why you're frustrated too, but what I don't understand is why it's so hard for you to believe I'd like you without being under some stupid spell,” Joshua said.
“If I hadn't cast it myself, I might believe it,” Amber frowned.
“Well, I'm not under a spell, Amber,” Joshua laughed.
“We've had this conversation a lot,” Amber grinned.
“And we'll keep having it until you believe me. What time do you want to meet up tomorrow?” he asked.
“We're meeting up tomorrow?” she asked.
“Yeah, I want to get this spell business out of the way,” Joshua said.
“I usually sleep in on Saturdays. Unless Tamara calls, I won't be up before noon,” Amber said.
