I Think Hitting The Gym Is Such A Healthy Outlet For Stress. I Am In The Best Shape Of My Life At The

i can't stand the fact that we keep missing each other. we always promise to meet up and play catch up, but then we end up failing miserably. promise me that we'll make this happen very soon? i'll be out of town for a little while, but once i get back i demand a lunch date. we have so much to catch up on. @itsawsten

alycia: this is difficult because we both share the same views about most things. do you have a silly little thing that you are passionate about? like a fashion choice? a favorite food? something we can argue about and i can witness this flail first hand. ba dum tsss. i love that for you. i know you have been through some things in your life, so you getting all of this love is exactly what you deserve. alycia: it irritates me too. it makes having friends of the opposite sex more difficult. i grew up with a brother so i naturally get along better with men then i do women, and not being able to just hang out with them platonically is difficult. i respect how private you are about that. you leave no room for the outside world to put their two cents in, and i have no doubt that when you finally do have someone, or if you do already, they will be well taken care of because you won't let the world rip them to shreds. oh my god, it was brutal. i was told i was using him, that he was using me to cover up who his real love was. i was just thinking to myself, "holy shit! i never met this guy!" 🤣🤣 alycia: i can't wait! i know kaitlyn talked about working with you when we were filming apple cider. she had nothing but amazing things to say, but it was nothing i didn't already know. it's kind of romcom-ish? i always wanted to do a romcom, so i was pretty excited for the opportunity to do something like this. and there have been new developments in my career since the last exchange and you are now looking at the new face of the godzilla universe. 🤗

pedro: what should we be arguing about then, missy? we'll have to pick something i'm passionate about and you bet my hands will be heavily animated during it. i'm in a really happy place with my life, so i feel very loved and spoiled every single day. i know not everyone is that lucky, so i don't take it for granted. pedro: i know that's the way it goes, but it still irritates me. especially when they bring that bullshit into red carpets when i'm trying to work and promote my projects. this is why i don't talk about my relationships publicly. some people just can't be normal and i'd rather not deal with that. i can just imagine what your comment section looked like. fangirls are brutal, some close to psychotic and it's never fun to be on the receiving end of that. pedro: the seasons are like my children, i can't choose between them but i will say the team did an amazing job bringing this season together. very proud of everyone for the work they've done. here's hoping the fans and you feel similar. that sounds like a very fun, modern idea for a film and i'll make sure to watch it when it's out. one more thing on my pile of things to watch. one thing i learned while being a struggling actor for most of my twenties and thirties was that when you have faith, in yourself and what you bring to the table, things will eventually work out. hard work does pay off, at least in my experience.

that is so exciting! i think it's a dream of every star wars fan to land a role in that universe. i couldn't imagine the excitement you must have felt when you learned you had gotten that role. i think it's beautiful that the universe as a whole is opening up to more people of color, especially women. i love to see that. oh gosh— i don't know how to answer this? i think when i landed fear the walking dead is when i had that moment of 'i made it!'

Andor Season 2 is dropping so soon, and honestly? I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve been a massive Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember, so stepping into that galaxy, into that universe, still feels surreal. If I could go back and tell my younger self that one day she'd be part of a story like this, that Hollywood would start making space, real space, for Latinas on this scale? She wouldn’t believe it. I’m curious now, how did you first break into your industry? Was there a project or moment when you thought, “Okay, I made it”? / @hfrpstarters

i hope so. i have been fortunate enough to work with some really big names on these last few projects so i'm hoping that kind of helps toss my name into the pot of potential contenders. if not then i'll just keep pushing on until something happens. at least it gave me time to finish my first script. i've also wanted to move more to the behind the scenes stuff. i dipped my toe into the directing pool and i sort of fell in love with it. i love to hear that! i certainly cannot wait for season four. ted lasso is such a guilty pleasure show. i love that! you two always make me want to get a farm. i know i could never keep up, but the urge is there.

Well that's a shame. But you're right, such is the nature. I'm sure something will pop up soon, I'm banking on it. Lucky for me, I always have production projects on the go, even if I'm not actively working myself, I'm overseeing things and working on behind the scenes stuff, writing for other people. But aside from the brand new wife and the beautiful baby I'm currently in the midst of writing Ted Lasso season 4, getting things prepared for filming later in the year, and we've also started planning Big Slick and Thundergong. My broody hen has been hiding eggs from me so I became a grandrooster of three at some point in the last week The joys of living on a farm.

i don't think you ever have to worry about that. you have always made me feel like a queen when i'm with you, and that's not something i take for granted. after being around so many terrible people who have treated me like shit and like a last option, you've reminded me that there are still decent human beings in the world. i wouldn't care if you showed up in a plastic bag. you look good in everything— or nothing at all. i would be a terrible hype woman if i didn't have confidence in all that you do. it helps that i haven't found a single thing you weren't capable of doing. you are magnificent in so many ways. stop— i love your ears. very nibble worthy. i've been lying to myself for so long about how i felt about you. i felt exactly how you did about our friendship, i would have rather had you as just a friend than not at all, and i see now that i've been depriving myself of happiness. you have always been the person i run to when i'm happy or get good news, but you are also the first person i want to run to when i need comfort. you have, and will always be my person, and i want nothing more than to be with you too. i sit back and i try and envision what my future looks like, and all i see is you, and it's beautiful.

I'll never mind when you wake me up, darling, and it won't matter what time it is either. Plus, I always think it's cute when you do it. I'm glad you feel the most spoiled with me, that's how I want you to feel always when you're with me. I love putting you first in every situation, though, because that's what you deserve. I can't imagine doing anything else, you know? I'm also glad to hear that, and I'll make sure I dress to the nines that night just for you, darling. I'm always going to be your biggest support system, that's something that will never change. Look at you saying things that you know will make me blush, love, but thank you. Your confidence in my abilities makes me feel on top of the world, I hope you know that. I had a feeling you'd say I was an elven king, though, and you're welcome to call me baby more often if you'd like, I like that. It's funny, because I've always hated my ears, so I'm laughing a little at the idea of me having pointy ones. I love you too, you know that, and I'm very thankful to have you as my best friend, darling. I wouldn't know what I'd do without you. Plus, it means the world that you take care of me like you do, especially when sometimes I'm not the best at taking care of myself. It's really not out of my reach? I just don't want to ruin our friendship, you know that. I mean, I guess someone would say we probably ruined it a little by sleeping together like we do, but you know what I mean. I want to be with you, though, if that wasn't obvious, and I'm tired of acting like I don't or keeping you at arm's length.

alycia did not hesitate to accept jamie's offer to spend time with him in prague. she would have been lying if she said she hadn't missed him in the wake of his absence. the two had always been very close, not only physically, but emotionally as well. she had been there for jamie through some of the darkest moments of his life, and she did it with a level of love and understanding. she had always cared about him— more than she had realized. their attachment to one another had always gone unspoken. mostly out of fear of rejection or the loss of their friendship. she had been hurt one too many times by those she trusted the most, so keeping jamie at arms length felt like the right thing to do— until now.

something had shifted between the two of them in their most recent text exchange. he had always been his usual, charming self, but there was something else that lingered as well. was it love? maybe. was it lust? definitely. alycia didn't quite know what it was that was brewing between them, all she knew was that she didn't want it to stop. the minute she had landed in pargue he was there to greet her. they had their moment in the airport before he took her back to his hotel. it didn't take them long to fall back into old habits, and before she could unpack they were in bed together.

the two spent her first night in bed, playing catch up and enjoying each other. they had so much time they had to make up for, with all the time in the world to do it. they had to roll out of bed at some point, and there was no better reason than to have a spooky little date with jamie. the two had joked about finding something fun and spooky to do, and being the dark prince that he was he had managed to find them the perfect location. with much hesitation on her end he had finally convinced her to get out of bed and join him in the shower. she could have easily skipped the date to stay in bed with him, but the idea of a spooky castle was too cool to pass up. she had promised him she'd wear one of her many little black dresses, so she pulled on the thin strapped, form fitting short mini dress and paired it with a pair of her favorite flats.

she gave herself a final look in the mirror once she was dressed. she had opted for a subtle, more natural look with her makeup. she never felt the need to wear much about jamie. he always managed to make her feel beautiful with or without it. with one final comb through of her wavy, brown hair, she took his arm so they could be on their way. luckily the location in question wasn't far from the hotel, so she didn't mind walking the short distance. "i bet that's just as beautiful as it is spooky— let's start there." her eyes lit up as she turned to face him. she always had to look up just slightly due to the height difference, and every time she managed to catch his gaze. "i know i sound like a broken record at this point, but i have missed you." she rose to her tip toes long enough to place a gentle kiss against his lips. "i didn't realize how much until i got here, and now i can't imagine being anywhere else."

When Alycia had offered to come to Prague, Jamie would admit that he'd been very thrilled with the idea. He'd been missing the actress a lot since it felt like a long time since the pair had seen each other last. Their friendship had been a strong one for many years, she'd been by his side for a lot of his ups and downs and valued any time that he got with her. And it just wasn't about the fact that they were sleeping together as well, even though that part of their relationship made Jamie very happy, he just liked being around her, loved spending time with her. So he was happy she was in Prague with him now, happy that they were in each other's space and just getting to spend time together. And he told himself he'd try not to think about the other feelings he had when it came to Alycia, because he was still pretty sure if he voiced them out loud he'd lose his friendship with her. And no matter what, he'd rather have some of her than none of her, so he was keeping those feelings unspoken. Her time with him was just about spending time together, having some sex if they felt the desire, and just being the great friends that they were, nothing more than that.

So after a much-needed reunion when Alycia reached the hotel they'd be sharing, and when the two finally decided to roll out of bed, Jamie decided that he needed to plan a spooky adventure for the two of them for the night. Jamie had been told that one of the most haunted places in Prague was Prague Castle, so that's where he planned to take Alycia tonight. He loved being in such a spooky city, and Prague was voted one of the most haunted in the world every year, which he loved. So after the two shared a shower together, Jamie got dressed all in black because that was his normal go-to style. Though while dressing all in black, he went with a little dressier black pants than normal and a black button-down that he left a few of the top buttons undone so his tattoos could peek through. He just felt like he should dress up a little more, like it was a date, even though he knew it wasn't a date, they were just friends, but he remembered Alycia saying something about a little black dress, and he didn't want to be undressed. He pulled on a pair of his favorite black boots, placed all his silver jewelry on, and fussed with his hair until it looked halfway decent.

After that, he waited until Alycia was ready as well, made sure to tell her she looked beautiful, which she always did, and took her arm to lead her out of the hotel and walk to where the Prague Castle was, which thankfully wasn't too far from their hotel. As they approached the huge Gothic structure, Jamie would admit that his eyes lit up because it was exactly his type of building, and he knew he was going to enjoy exploring the castle very much with the girl that was currently on his arm. Jamie couldn't help but turn to her with a smile, "So, I was told that the most haunted part of the castle is the cathedral. Do you want to start there?" @alyvas
