Jasmines POV
Places! I heard the announcement from my dressing room. I took a deep breath and smiled at Pippa and Renee. We shared a hug and made our way to the stage. I was so excited, beyond excited. I saw Anthony making his way to the stage so I gave him a hug. I couldn't kiss him or I could've ruined either one of ours stage makeup.I made it to the wings where I waited with Renee for when we had to enter. Pippa entered from a different spot and earlier than us so she wasn't with us.
"What your name man? Alexander Hamilton" that was the end of the opening song and wow, this is the best feeling ever. Being on stage for an audience just feels so amazing, addicting. The loud cheer from the audience as we finish this song and move to the next fuels this feeling.
At the end of act one, we all gathered together during intermission. Everything was going perfect so far.
15 minutes till places, we were getting ready. I was fixing my makeup when Renee and I bumped elbows, both messing up what we were doing
"Shit" we both mumbled, "sorry" we said in unison. Then we laughed and quickly got to fixing our makeup. Sharing a dressing room with Pippa and Renee is great but this, 15 minutes before places is stressful even though I'm not on stage for the first bit.
Curtain call felt amazing. I love this feeling, being on stage in front of people. The audience loved it. Opening night was a success.
We had an after party for opening night obviously. I didn't drink much and neither did anyone else, we do have a show tomorrow but we all had fun.
"You're pretty" Anthony said as we walked into his apartment, he may be a little drunk
"Thank you Anthony" I laughed
"I'm gonna marry you someday" he smiled. Maybe he's a little more drunk then I thought. I ignored that one, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
"Let's get to bed" I sighed, handing him clothes to sleep in and left to get him some water.
I came back, he had his shirt on backwards. I laughed to myself and handed him the water, "drink this"
He drank all of it and set the cup down. Then he kissed my cheek, "I love you" he said as he plopped down on the bed, "will you fix my shirt for me" he sat back up.
I smiled and tried to help him turn his shirt around but it just ended up on the floor, "it's too hot in here" he said in response to his shirt on the floor.
"It's cold in here Ant" I told him
"You're warm though" he pulled me down next to him.
"I love you" I giggle as I fell next to him.
"Will you marry me someday" he played around with my hair, "I love your hair" drunk Anthony is adorable but he's also tired.
"Maybe ask me to be your girlfriend first" I laughed. We hadn't really established what we are, he never officially asked me out. "But, ask me again some other day and I'll say yes"
"Ok" he happily mumbled, about to fall asleep.
"Wait" he opens his eyes.
"What is it" I asked
"You said-" he stopped to yawn, "you said you got me a present, I feel rude you didn't get to give it to me"
"Shh, you're tired I can give it to you tomorrow" I told him
"Ok, night" his eyes closed again
"Night" I whispered and we both fell asleep.
I woke up and his arms were wrapped around me, obviously since it's mid November and it's cold and he has no shirt on. I smiled to myself remember last night, being on stage, the after party and how sweet drunk Anthony was.
He stirred in his sleep before waking up and looking at me, "Morning" he smiled
I kissed his forehead, "how are you feeling" I asked, he definitely did drink more than I did last night.
"Im fine, maybe a little headache but that's it" he replied
"And you remember everything from last night" I asked
He smiled, "all of it"
"So you remember asking me-"
"To marry me someday" he interrupted me
"Yeah that"
"I remember but that's not something we need to worry about right now, everything is perfect and we don't need to rush things" he said
"Exactly" I got up
"But someday" he stroked my hand as I stood up
"Yeah, someday" I couldn't help but smile, I love him so much and can't wait for that someday where we will get married. I've never thought of marrying anyone else I've been with but I'm sure about Anthony.
I left the room and came back, with the present I got him for opening night. It was a small painting of us that a fan made. I saw it in my tagged posts and started messaging the person who made it. It's a painting of a picture Pippa took of us while we weren't paying attention, looking out to an empty audience from the stage near the start of everything. Last night the audience was full and I thought this picture would show how far we've come.
I pulled it out from behind my back and handed it to him. He was silent.
"Do you like it?" I asked
"I love it" he said in amazement.
"Where'd you get this?" he hadn't stopped looking at it.
"A fan made it" I smiled.
"That makes it even better" he looked at me
"Are you crying" I laughed
"No, shut up" he wiped a tear that was about to fall.
"My present wasn't as good as this, it wasn't even a present" he placed the painting down next to some other pictures he had on his dresser.
"Oh but I loved it, my favourite tea" I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"But I should get you a real present" he placed his hands on my waist.
"You won't be doing that because you don't need to, I love you" we danced around
"But-"
"I don't need a present, I got you" I interrupted him
"Look at you getting all sappy" he chuckled
"Shut up" I laughed, walking out of the room
"No come back" he whined. I turned back to give him a quick kiss before getting ready.
