Can't stand the sight of you

Chapter 41

Wonderland sounded slightly Christmasy so I put it in lol. Is it just me because like I'm not really in the holiday spirit this year, you know? Like I'm doing Christmasy things like the jumpers and the movies and it's snowed here in Scotland but like idk, somethings off. Then again I'm Muslim so I don't really celebrate the birth of Jesus, but the festivities are fun. Does anyone else agree?

Anyways, enjoy. I'm so sorry that I've not really been active or anything. My cousins are over and it's all a bit chaotic. I'm updating when I can and I'm also thinking about my next Jolivia book as well, so bear with me.

General pov

The ruby curtains rose, receiving an applause form the audience. Kourtney stood at the front of the stage and there was a ballroom set behind her. Kourtney moved towards the side of the stage and 'Tale as Old as Time' started to play. Slowly the Beast and his Belle appeared on stairs at either side.

Ricky's pov

I noticed my cue to walk on stage. I was standing on a prop staircase. I appeared on the side at the same time as Nini and wow-

She walked in like a princess. I mean she is literally but that's besides the point. In the script it said that we were supposed to look at eachother 'lovingly' as we walked down which I think we were doing pretty well at that. Because when I look at Nini I see perfection. But not. I see her kindness and sincerity. Even since a young age I already committed to spending my life with her, she's an angel. She's not perfect though, no one is. But she's the closest thing to it and he's she makes mistakes but so do I. She's perfect for me. When I look at her I see myself as a better person. She makes me feel like nobody else does. I don't care what people think, if we're too young, it's all a load of bullshit. I love Nini so much it's fucking painful. And it's painful that she doesn't know. Which is why I'm telling her. Right after the show. I love her.

Nini's pov

Me and Ricky continued to slowly walk down opposite stairs and there was something in his eyes. A look that I haven't seen before. I'm not sure what it is. I've seen all of his expressions but I'm confused on what this is, it looks pure? Honest? It looks like...love? I don't care though. I've never been happier. Ever. Well...if only he knew. It hurts that I see butterflies. Since the beginning it's always been him. When I see him I see me. Without him my life has no meaning. I know we're young but fuck being young. How the hell is that my fault. I want to tell him so bad that is physically pains me, which is why I think I'm gonna tell him after the show. I can't hold it in. I love him.

Miss Jen's pov

I was on the sidelines, watching the scene. I am no 'expert' but I can smell the sincere love form here. I mean I knew they had amazing chemistry which is why I casted them but this is insane. I have never in my 30 years of musical teaching life seen anything like this. It's the purest and most true thing ever. I'm also no matchmaker but if my two leads don't become a thing I might as well quit my job. What? At heart I'm still a 16 year old. 

Kourtney started to sing with her magnificent voice and Ricky and Nini met in the middle. "Their heart eyes are literally killing me." I heard Gina say walking up to me. Honestly I'm not sure what's happened over the last few months but I feel more of a mother to the kids than I have before which I love. Me and Gina would have catch up talks once a week throughout her whole moving drama thing and now we're pretty close.

"Honestly, has anything happened between the two?" I asked them.

"Nope" said EJ, approaching with Ashlyn.

"She likes him and he likes her yet they're both too afraid" Ashlyn said. I shoved my face in my hands. Jesus and I thought me and Zachy were oblivious. (a/n did y'all get the Zachy Roy thing lol. Okay I'll shut up...love you)

"Okay children be quite the slow dance is starting!" I aggressively whispered while simultaneously hushing them all. 

Silence fell and we watched the Beast and Belle fall in love.

There we go. I love you guys so much and again I'm really sorry for not updating. I'll do at least one or two by the end of the year but I honestly think that this book will be finished next year.
