Can't stand the sight of you

Chapter 42

Poor Joshy, lmao. Happy late birthday Josh! I didn't update yesterday but happy birthday nonetheless. You're a massive inspiration to me so thank you for everything this year, and I love you (I'm not joking)

Anyone else rlly tired lol? I think it's just because it's almost Christmas or like the end of the year or something because I'm exhausted even though I've done literally nothing 😂 

Here's the scene we DIDN'T get in the show (thanks Tim)

Nini's pov

As the dance started me and Ricky paired up, just like we practiced. I remember one of the first rehearsals. I had to close my eyes and he had to guide me around the stage. That was when we still hated eachother, but if I'm being honest I never really hated him. It's physically not possible for me to hate him. He's the just the epitome of perfect. He put one of his hands on my waist and one of mine on his shoulder, he held my other hand and we glided across the ballroom set stage. It was magical. I looked into his eyes and immediately lost myself. My favourite things about his eyes are that they're the most expressive eyes I've ever seen. He has these little gold flecks in them when he's excited. When he's loving or caring those flecks are glazed over with a deep hazel colour. When he's mad his eyes are very light. As of now they were a deep, beautiful chocolate. We ignored everyone, it was just the two of us.

Ricky's pov 

I was on cloud nine. Nini is the fucking human incarnation of an angel. I literally can't comprehend how stunning she is. It sounds cheesy but this is the dream I've had since I was a child. I don't care if we're supposed to be 'acting', we're not. And I don't know what it is but I have a slight feeling that she might feel the same, I was staring into her eyes and I could see everything. All the emotions. I've never seen this before and I can't describe it. It's loving and gentle, but confident and happy. She's also wearing a contagious smile which makes me grin even wider, if that's possible. Her gold dress flared out at her waist and we danced around the room as if there weren't loads of people watching us. I honestly don't care about anything anymore besides her. Her presence just makes my heart leap. She has that power over me, a spell, a trance, and I love it. 

General pov 

They really did act like they were the only ones. Audience members would look at eachother and whisper about the connection between the two leads. Some would say it was puppy love, their first love and they were right. Nini and Ricky were eachother's first, last, and only love. And they knew it. They also didn't care about what people were saying. The also knew that they would be heavily teased by their friends. The dance ended finally and the two almost forgot their lines they were so love-stuck. Even after Kourtney finished her song she tried not to laugh at how oblivious her two friends were. Eventually they remembered where they were and in a flustered state finished the scene.

After the play was over it was the curtain call, which as Carlos explained to Ricky multiple times was the most important number in the whole performance. The audience were clapping to the beat of the band as each member of the cast came out. At the end there was Ricky and Nini who joined hands and walked down the middle. Nini was wearing a knee length version of the gold dress and Ricky was still wearing his formal dance costume. The bowed together, Ricky insisting that Nini bowed longer giving her a chance to shine. (And also giving her a shit ton of heart eyes.) After the show there was a whole rush of people collections stuff and congratulating people. The members of the cast could barely breath. They were receiving compliments, so many compliments that Ricky struggled to find Nini. He eventually found her in one of the makeup rooms. "Hey...." He said nervously.

Nini almost choked on her saliva out of nervousness. "Um hey."

"You good?"

"Mhm, you?"

"Yeah it's all really chaotic though." He chuckled. Nini let out an airy giggle in response.

"Yeah, tonight was amazing. It went by really quickly as well."

"We'll they all say time flies when you're having fun."

"Who's they?" Nini asked jokingly.

"Alrighty then, missy. Attitude much?" He laughed. "All jokes aside you did really well, as in really well."

"Aw, thank you. You were great as well," she said, really touched but Ricky's words. There was a longing silence between them both of them scared to speak as they might ruin their perfect silence and lose the other. "Is that everything?"

"...yeah"

"Okay then." She walked past Ricky and was about to head out the door before Ricky said something.

"I love you"

THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

Be excited for the next chapter, lol

Okie I love you guys more than Ricky loves Nini. Stay happy and healthy.
