"I'm getting changed!", I called as I heard a knock on the door "I said I was getting changed!", I said trying to cover up "Oh! holland what are you doing here?"

"well I wanted to see you before your big performance", holland smiled

"did anyone see you?", I asked locking the door

"no darling it's okay", she turned me around kissing me

"I need to dressed", I pulled back from the kiss

"I prefer you like this", holland smirked as I walked over to the dresser

"can you zip me up?", I turned my back to holland 

"sure", holland kissed my shoulder before zipping up the back of my dress

"thank you", I turned around 

"well don't you look simply stunning", holland pulled me closer by my waist 

"so do you", I observed her figure "is it busy out there?"

"the foyer is beyond crowded", holland cupped my cheeks 

"god I'm nervous", I looked down 

"don't be darling, I just know you're going to be just incredible", holland kissed my forehead 

"how do you know that?", I quivered 

"because you haven't failed to amaze me yet", holland caressed my cheeks

"Sarah you need to out here for mic-check", we heard being called from outside the door 

"I should go", holland smiled "you're going to be breathtaking", holland pulled me in for a long kiss

"thank you", I giggled 

"you're coming home with me tonight, right?", holland spoke picking up her bag

"if the invitation still stands?", I teased 

"I'll come back here after the show", holland gave me a quick kiss before sneaking out

--

I was quickly making my way onto the stage and into my position for my first scene, I took a few deep breathes, the lights then came on, allowing the full theatre to see me.

there were a few lines before I had to speak so I kept my position looking out into the audience. 

my eyes traveled down to the second row where holland was sitting, beaming at up me with the grandest smile. It took all the power in my body not to melt under her gaze. Holland sent me a wink, I quickly turned my head, knowing that I would miss my line if I kept contact with her. 

--

"saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake", I spoke holding onto Romeos hands 

"then move not while my prayer's effect I take. Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged", Romeo said before kissing me 

"then have my lips the sin that they have took", I breathed pulling back from his lips

"Sin form my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again", Romeo spoke holding my face in his hands 

once he finished he kissed me again, this time the kiss lasted longer and had more passion. 

"you kiss by th'book", I smiled, I was then called off by the nurse

as I was exciting the stage I looked at holland, who looked back at me and smirked . 

--

Music started playing and one by one the cast members made their way back onto the stage for the final bowes. Of course Romeo and I were last. When we both came out, we received a standing ovation. I looked down at holland, and I sent her a little wave. The curtain closed as we all made our way back to the dressing room. 

"come in", I answered to door, completely distracted

"you were so good!", I heard excitedly behind me as holland wrapped her around around me

"thank you", I giggled turning around 

"that really was an incredible performance", holland smiled squeezing me tighter 

"thank you for coming", I relaxed 

"I wouldn't have missed it for the world", holland kissed me 

"I will say, you almost distracted me at the beginning"

"I know, I saw you trying not to smiled. I found it quite sweet actually", holland admitted 

"you're magical you know what", I smiled 

"okay, Ms.Sentimental, let's go home", holland laughed turning me around and undoing the back of my dress, helping me step out of it. 

holland grabbed my sweat pants and jumper, handing them to me

"do you have a bra?", holland spoke looking in my bag

"no", I shrugged putting on the clothing 

"and why not?", holland smirked pulling the jumper down over my head

"I don't need one", i spoke pulling up my Ugg-boots

"you look cosy", holland pulled me in for another tight hug 

"mmhm", I mumbled 

"do you want to take your makeup off?", holland ran her fingers through my curls 

"no, I'll just have a shower at your place", I said 

"okay, well lets get you home sweet girl", holland kissed me quickly 

holland and I walked in different directions before meeting at her car

"god thats a pain", I spoke slumping into the car

"I know", holland took my hand as we drove home 

--

"god I needed that", I spoke as holland came into the bathroom to brush her teeth 

"all fresh and clean", holland kissed the side of my head

"holland...holland....holly....honey.. holland", I whined over and over again as I was lying in bed alone 

"can you calm down?", holland chuckled walking through the door with her robe on, although it was undone 

"you left me here for like an hour", I huffed 

"I went to get water", holland rolled her eyes walking to the side of the bed, placing her water on the floor before letting her robe fall to the floor

"something wrong?", holland smirked 

"I'm suddenly parched", I swallowed 

"here", holland picked up the cup, handing it to me

"thank you"

"am I allowed to get into bed now, or are you going to be staring at me all night?", holland spoke

"no, I can stare at you in here", I said simply

holland laughed, climbing into bed next to me, taking me into her arms 

"god I'm so proud of you my angel", holland sighed 

"you being there was the best part", I leant up kissing her 

"my sweetheart", holland cupped my cheek kissing my forehead 

"god you're beautiful", I mumbled beginning to fall asleep
