Our destiny

Christmas show

Today is the day of Ellies Christmas show. Of course she got me front row tickets. I can't wait to see it. I know how hard she worked for this and I know it will be perfect. She was pretty nervous when I called her in the morning which is why I want to see her again before the show. I came there a bit earlier and sneaked into the backstage area. She is in der dressing room probably freaking out so I will just bring her down and wish her good luck.

I don't even knock at the door when I stand outside her dressing room. I just open the door and quickly go inside. As I expected it Ellie is walking up and down the room. She looks up at the door and her face changes as she sees me.

"Le? What are you doing here?" She asks confused.

"I just came to give you a good luck kiss." I say.

"I need that." She comes over and throws her arms around my neck.

"I don't think you need it but I would still like to kiss you." I say with a cheeky smile. Ellie laughs and leans forward. She kisses my lips softly while tightening her grip around me. As she pulls back, I look at every inch of her face.

"You look beautiful." I say at her. She smiles back at me. I love how her eyes sparkle when she smiles.

"Would you clap even if I mess up?" She asks.

"You won't mess up. You are amazing. I'm so proud of you and I can't wait to watch you." I say. I don't want her to talk herself down.

"I'm scared. I gave so much for this what if I mess up now or what if I fall down-" she starts to hustle. I interrupt her by kissing her fiercely. She will just talk herself into more and more panic that isn't necessary.

"Shh shut up, Ellie. You are amazing. You will always be amazing. Don't think about it so much and just do what you usually do." I say as I pull back.

"But this isn't what I usually do."

"Of course it is. It's just Christmas themed. It's exactly like what you have always done and what you have always been amazing at." I stroke her cheek.

"You will be there?"

"Of course I will be there. Front row, right where you got me seated." I say.

"I need to see you. It calms me down when I see the way you look at me." She smiles a bit which is pretty sweet. She grabs my face with both of her hands and kisses me again. Her lips move so gently and sweet on mine that I forget everything around us for a moment.
Suddenly the door opens. Ellie quickly pulls back from me and lets go of my face. I see the panic in her eyes. I don't really care if someone sees us but I know that she does.

"Umm? What's going on here?" I hear a woman's voice. I turn around a bit and see one of the dancers in the door. She looks a bit surprised and overwhelmed. I don't know if she also thinks that I am Ellies personal trainer. Somehow that lie really kept up.

"Lily, please don't tell anyone." Ellie quickly says at her.

"What shouldn't I tell anyone? That you are having an affair with your personal trainer?" So she also thinks that. Why does everyone know about this personal trainer thing?

"No. No it's not like that. Leah isn't my personal trainer, she is just my girlfriend." Ellie clarifies.

"But you know that is not allowed, right?" Lily says. What does that mean?

"Sorry, what is not allowed?" I ask. I need to know.

"It's an unspoken rule kind of that no one should be in a relationship because it just takes our focus off." She says. He even tells them if they can be in a relationship? This is getting more ridiculous with every thing I hear.
