Let me help you- Janthony

Part 8- happy birthday!

Anthony's POV
"It's your birthday!" Jazzy squealed as she bounced over to where I was standing

"You remembered" I smiled at her

"I did" she steps closer to me. Almost too close, though she could never be too close to me. I'm not complaining.

"And what are we gonna do?" I ask her

"We'll I didn't plan anything but we could go on a walk or something" she was nervous and it was adorable

"Yes we can" I turn to talk away

The cold wind blows her hair into her face and we both laugh, "let's go" I grab her hand to pull her along with me. Her hand is cold

"Jas you're hand is freezing, we could stop
At your apartment to get you a jacket" I say. We're where we usually are, on the roof so stopping at her apartment wouldn't be hard

"No I'm fine" she says. I think she just doesn't want to go home.

We leave and walk down the busy streets. She's dancing as we walk. Shes ahead of me and turns the corner. I make my way around the corner and she's not there.

"Jas?" I say loud enough so she could hear me but she doesn't answer, "jazzy?" I say louder. What happened to her, maybe it was something bad and it's my fault.

"Jasmine!" I yell and she jumps out behind me. "You scared me, so much" I take a deep breath to calm myself.

"Oh boohoo, I'm hear now and I got you something" she laughs. Her laugh calms me.

"I went into some shop while you weren't paying attention to surprise you" she pulls a small brow bag from behind her back

She hands it to me and I pull out a donut. I had told her I loved the donuts from this place and she remembered. I smiled at her and she smiled back before stealing a bite out of the donuts

"Hey" I pulled it away from her, she laughed and we kept walking.

"You're not running off again" I chuckle, grabbing her arm, her arm is freezing. "you're freezing" I say

"I'm fine" she tells me, shivering a little.

"No you're not, your cold" I take off my jacket and wrap it around her.

"I think we should go back" she takes my jacket off her.

"Yeah uh, it's cold we should go back but you're wearing this, you're freezing" I put it back on her.

We walk back in silence, "happy birthday" she smiles as I enter my apartment, she goes to hers. She still has my jacket.

.

There's one week till opening night, "I'm so excited to be on stage in front of all those people" Jasmine bounces to me. When she's really happy or existed she gets bouncy.

"Yeah me too" I smile. She hands me back my jacket she forgot to give back the other day on my birthday.

"Aren't you just so excited to see me in my Maria dress" she grins.

"Ew why would I want to see that" I roll my eyes at her. Yeah I wanna see that but I don't want to see her kiss Lin 8 times a week.

"Don't lie to yourself" she nudges my arm.

"What makes you think I'd want to see that" I raise an eyebrow at her.

"The way you look at me now, when I'm all sweaty and tired after rehearsal could only mean that the way you'll look at me on opening night will be 100 times better" I felt my face heat up, I turned my head away from her. She had noticed the way I'm looking at her, the way I look at her all the time. Like I'm completely in love with her.

"and your bright red cheeks and you avoiding eye contact do too"

"My face is red because I-it's hot in here" I tell her, but it's a lie and we both know that.

"You know you're cute when you're nervous Ramos" she stepped closer to me

"What" I didn't know what to say. She's the only person who makes me this nervous, at least this type of nervous. Like the, what am I doing what if she doesn't like me or thinks I'm the worst person she's ever met, type of nervous.

"Yeah, you're adorable right now" she grabbed my shirt and pulled me into her. I was holding my breath and my throat felt dry.

I felt weak standing this close to her, I hated the power she has over me, "I- Uh what are you doing"

"Shh" she said. We were standing so close our body's were touching. She still had a grip on my shirt. She was on her tiptoes and she still had to lift her head to look in my eyes. Her tilted head made it so our chins were almost touching, she had the biggest smile on her face.

I had to bite my lip to try resist the urge to kiss her, "and you biting your lip right now is another thing" she sighed, looking at my lips.

I started to lean in and she did too. Our lips were about to reach each other's but she lowers from her tiptoes and I end up kissing her forehead.

She giggles, "not getting me that easy, freckle boy"

"Yeah and what about last time when you couldn't keep your hands, or your lips off me" I smirk. This was my first time bringing up that kiss.

"I don't think that's how it happened but you can remember it however you want" she was still holding my shirt, just from a little further away.

She winked at me before skipping off to join Renee and Pippa.

Ahh, I forgot to update this yesterday and I was going to but I just completely forgot. Anyway I'm at school right while I update because I'll have no time later:)
