Back home

SATURDAY

Kristen rolled over and look at the clock that read 10:46. Her and Bill stayed in their separate rooms the night before. She wanted to give him room to grieve over Maggie. Her phone started ringing.
"Hello?" She mumbled.
"Kristen!" It was Bill. "Go, open your door of your hotel, c'mon just open it!"
"Why?" She grumbled throwing off her sheets trudging to the door. She opened it and there was Bill with a rolling table filled with eggs, pancakes, waffles, home fries etc.
"Surprise!" He cried smiling. "This morning you dine like a queen!"
He rolled the cart into her room as she covered her mouth in excitement.
"Come on, hop into bed, what would you like first?" Bill smiled his boyishly charming smile. Kristen pulled the covers up to her chin and scanned the cart.
"One strip of bacon, a couple of home fries, and some eggs." She decided.
"Comin right up!" He declared pushing everything she said into a ceramic white plate. He handed her plate and hopped into bed with her.
"Mmm! This is good!" Kristen mumbled smiling. Bill planted a kiss on her cheek and then got up and walked over to his cart.
"I brought My Girl!" He exclaimed. She almost choked on her waffle.
"I luff that moofie!" She cried. Bill chuckled and put the movie on. Ten minutes into the movie she finished her breakfast and snuggled into Bills chest. He barely even watched the movie, he just looked at Kristen and smiled at all her reactions.
But then the worst part of the movie came...
"Nooooo...."Kristen started sobbing. "Thomas Jay cant be dead, he loved Vada."
Bill rolled his eyes smiling as he wrapped his arms around a sobbing Kristen. She has watched this movie about 80 tjmes, 30 of those times with Bill and every time she cries when Thomas dies. And every time he whispers the same thing to her.
"I love you like Thomas Jay loves Vada." He whispered kissing her tear stricken face. And of course that just made her cry more. She cried until the credits started to roll and Bill turned it off.
"That's so sad." She whimpered with a fake pout.
"Always has been." He grinned kissing her. The kiss lingered until Bills phone started ringing. The two of them jumped and then Bill reached over and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Bill! Where are you!? Where's Kristen?" Kenan said.
"I though you weren't supposed to be there until five!?" Bill cried.
"Baby, you've been gone too long. No! Lorne needs y'all here, now! Talk later!" He said then hung up the phone.
"Well!" Kristen raised her eyebrows and yanked her nightshirt off (earning a pleasant smirk from Bill) running to her suitcase and then throwing on jeans, a tank top flip flops.
"Let's go." She grinned.
"Very nice." Bill took her hand and they walked to studio 8h together, not caring if anyone spotted them.
They were greeted by a very excited Aidy.
"C'mon guys we have to do final wardrobe fittings!" She exclaimed leading them into the wardrobe department. "Here Kris, can you try this on really quick to make sure it fits?"
She handed her the dress for The monologue.
Kristen slipped off her flip flops, took off her jeans and then her shirt, revealing her black bra. Bill grinned trying not to stare for too long.
"Bill can you make sure this suit fits?" Aidy handed him a suit and he yanked off his shirt.
"Nice." Kristen smiled pulling on her dress. "Hey Aidy, zip me?"
"When you see y'all getting changed together, hell yeah you know something's going on." Aidy shook her head smiling as she zipped kristen up.
"Well." Bill smirked buttoning up his shirt.
"Hey, allow me." Kristen walked over and began slowly buttoning his shirt up.
"I best be getting out of here, make sure everything fits, let me know if you need anything." Aidy winked shuffling out of the wardrobe department and leaving the two alone. Kristen kept slowly buttoning Bills shirt, sending electric sparks up his arm and through his body. After she buttoned the last button she kissed his neck, tasting the saltiness. Bill moved his fingers down her hip pausing occasionally.
"You're good at that." Kristen whispered. So he kept doing it and she kissed him.
"I've missed this." Bill mumbled through kisses. She grinned and kissed him some more. It seemed to last forever, both trying to memorize the others taste incase this was the last time, their last kiss.
"So..." Kristen said finally pulling back. "Does this suit fit?"
Bill laughed and nodded.
"I guess we should head back, people will start getting suspicious." He said spinning her around and unzipping her.
"Yeah..." She slipped the dress off looking him dead in the eye. Bill froze, god she was sexy. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her bare waist, kissing her passionately one more time. He went to pull away put Kristen pulled closer.
"Just kiss me." She whispered, sending tingles down his spine. He smiled and continued to feel her bare skin. She shivered under his touch,but that just made her kiss him harder.
Then she unbuttoned his shirt so they were skin on skin. She ran her fingers down his arm. Every kiss went straight to her brain.
"I love you." He whispered. Brushing her face with his hand. She returned his statement with more kisses, wrapping her arms around his neck, zero layers between them; her breast on his chest.
"This has been...wonderful, to be continued?" Kristen said with a flirty grin. Bill grinned and nodded.
Reluctantly, he put back on his t-shirt. Once they were both fully dressed, they walked down the hall to the stage area. But only the crew was there.
"Where is everyone?" Bill asked.
"Backstage, getting dress make up done!" The crew man said. Kristen and Bill rushed backstage.
"I was wondering where y'all were, it's time to get ready for dress!!!" Cecily called from her make up chair. They looked at each other and started laughing.
"How long were we-" Bill said laughing.
"Geez" Kristen shook her head still feeling Bills fingers on her skin.
They both were directed by make up artists to come get their face done, and then directed by Lorne to go; once again, put their opening outfits on.

"PLACES!" Lorne yelled. The dress audience was already in their seats. The cold open was beginning as Bill stood behind the door, monologue ready. His stomach was fluttering, he was nervous even though it was just dress, and constantly thinking about Kristen didn't help a thing either.
But, of course, all went well. Nobody screwed up the kick line, and both Bill and Kristen successfully got through the show without kissing each other on air.
Kristen, Bill, Kenan, and Bobby were all sitting on the couch eating pizza, talking out how dress went.
"Baby love killed it!" Kenan exclaimed smiling.
"I'm sure it was Kris and Bills ravishing chemistry." Bobby laughed. Bill shook his head.
"Isn't the whole point of the trailer that we have none?" He asked, laughing. Kenan and Bobby looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
"Y'all keep tryna deny your ravishing chemistry." Bobby shook his head.
"I mean not exactly, just saying when it is good and when it isn't." Kristen corrected.
"Whatever." Kenan laughed.
"We didn't fuck up the kick line." Colin grabbed a slice of pizza and joined the conversation.
"Important," Kristen nodded.
"They loved Stefon!" Colin exclaimed. Bill nodded.
"Who couldn't help but to love Stefon?" Kristen swooned planting a kiss onBills cheek.
"YO!" Kenan cried.
"You seeeeeeee!?" Bobby whined.
"What can I say? It's ravishing chemistry." Bill grinned, winking at Kristen.

This was it. 11:35 the cold open was ending and the music was cueing Bill in. He bopped down the steps and into the stage, smiling and waving, the audience was clapping like crazy. His knees were going weak, but he still managed to; read the cue cards, say what was on the cue cards, and survive until Kristen came out.
Oh, but when Kristen came out. If even possible, she looked even more beautiful then she did at dress, and he really just wanted to wrap her in his arms.
"Kristen! You were supposed to stay backstage!" Bill recited. She placed a hand on his shoulder and most likely told him they were gonna sing. But Bill was too lost in her eyes to focus. She quickly pinched his hand before they sang the lead in to the chorus.
It wasn't rehearsed, but as they sang the chorus; bill grabbed Kristen's waist and hand and started to partner dance with her. The crowd went wild.
"AT THIS MOMENT, YOU MEAN EVERYTHING!" Bill sang. Kristen blushed, but the two kept singing.
And then the ending kick line came. Everyone had their arms around each other, the glaring hot light shining on all of their faces, determined to do it right. And they did. Their legs were in perfect unison, but even if they weren't; the audience wouldn't notice. Because they were too busy looking at the genuinely happy beaming faces of the cast.
"We've got a great show for you tonight, hozier is here! So stick around and we'll be right back." Bill cried wrapping his arms around kristen. It cut to baby love and everyone ran backstage to the dressing room.
"Yay for not fucking up the kick line!" Kate bellowed from her room. Everyone cheered; this was going to be a fun night.

And it was, before they knew it they were standing on the stage saying their goodnights. Bill turned to Kristen, wrapping her up and squeezing her tight. Bobby and Taran jumped around them pointing to them and cheering.
"Oh shut up." Kristen laughed, turning to hug Vanessa. She made her way through cast members hugging and congratulating her. When she was pretty sure the cameras stopped rolling she creeped up behind Bill and whispered in his ear.
"My dressing room? You know...to continue?"
Bill grinned and took her hand, going into her dressing room.
"Great show." Kristen smiled sweetly.
"Sure." He mumbled, lifting her up and placing her on the counter, kissing her deeply. She ripped off his t-shirt and moved her fingers down his chest as they made out.
The door opened.
"YO!" Kenan cried. Kristen shrieked and Bill moved away.
"Well it's about time!" Bobby yelled opening the door all the way. And there was the whole cast whooping hollerin and clapping. Kristen and Bill busted out laughing. He even did a little bow.
"GOOD JOB SON!" Lorne hollered through the cheering.
This was a happy moment for Lorne; his dream was to witness a miracle, and now he had.
The love he had watched all these years had finally come to be.
