11 | Our Perfect night

🎙2022🎙

My parents were out of the house on a well deserved date so I had the whole house to myself this evening. I walked out from my bedroom, heading downstairs and made my way towards the kitchen to make some popcorn for my boyfriend and I.

My boyfriend is going to come to my house to have a date night of our own. My boyfriend is in charge of bringing food from our favorite restaurant. I was in charge of getting our favorite snacks and drinks.

I entered the pantry, looking for the popcorn box and once I found the item I was looking for. I picked up the popcorn box and walked out from the panty.

I re entered into the kitchen, I took one of the packaging out from the box. I placed the box down on the counter, then I took the plastic of the packaging and placed it in the microwave.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, causing Luna to start barking as she came downstairs from my bedroom where I last saw her. "Luna, baby it's okay, is just probably Calvin standing behind the front door." I told her, walking towards the front door and I opened the door.

My handsome boyfriend was standing on the front pouch holding a bouquet of roses and a takeout bag. My boyfriend was already looking at me, smiling wide. "Hello, gorgeous, may I come in?"

I made eye contact with my boyfriend, matching his wide smile. "Hey handsome, yes you may come in!" I answered his question, opening the door wider for him to walk in.

At my response, his smile grew even wider. My boyfriend walked into my parent's house, made his way into the kitchen. Calvin set down the take out bag on the kitchen;s counter before turning around and faced me. I faced my boyfriend, after I closed the front door and locked it behind me.

"Here is a bouquet of roses for my rose." My boyfriend said, making me blush and he handed me the bouquet.

I didn't waste any time walking towards my boyfriend. When I was standing in front of him, I took the bouquet of roses from his hand and looked back at my boyfriend still smiling wide. "Thank you, Cal, these roses are gorgeous."

"You're welcome, Aubs. The roses are as gorgeous as you." My boyfriend said, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.

Upon hearing his words, I ended up brushing even more as I wrapped my arms around his neck. My boyfriend softly placed his hands on each side of my waist. He was the one who closed the remaining gap between us by placing his lips on mine. 

My boyfriend started kissing me passionately, moving his lips against mine. I didn't take long to return his kiss as I matched his pace. Our lips were moving against each other at their own accord like they were dancing to some unknown melody.

After what felt like an eternity of feeling his lips moving against, I was the first one to pull away still having my arms wrapped around his neck. "Cal, are you ready to eat food from our favorite restaurant and to watch a movie while we are cuddling with each other?"I asked him with my voice sounding hoastely from our kiss.

"Aubs, I am ready, it sounds like it is going to be a perfect night with my gorgeous girlfriend." Calvin answered my question as he was looking at me with love in his eyes.

I placed my lips on his lips once again going for a second kiss.

To no one's surprise, my boyfriend didn't take long to return my kiss matching my exact pace. At the same time, he moved his hands from my waist, replacing them on my lower torso pulling closer to his warm and familiar embrace.

My hands moved themselves from his neck, reaching for his beautiful dark brown hair. My fingers started massaging his hair as our lips moved together in harmony.

Our second kiss of this evening is going to be an amazing start to our perfect night.

Fast forward to five days later after my best friends, my boyfriend and myself made the decision to audition for the spring play. School had ended for the day, about fifteen minutes ago. Instead of going home, I needed to go to the school's theater where the auditions are taking place this afternoon.

After speaking with both of my parents, my best friend Peyton and my boyfriend, I decided to give it a shot and audition for the role of Ariel. I am grateful that the nerves still haven't made their appearance.

I opened up my locker, after I put on my locker combination, I removed my backpack over my shoulders and placed it inside of my locker. Then I closed my locker, making sure to put in my locker combination before I walked away, heading towards the direction of the school's theater.

My boyfriend, Peyton, Tristan, and Samuel were already in the theater and they were waiting for me to get there. I know this information thanks to the text message my boyfriend sent to our group chat.

I pushed open the door of the theater and walked inside, I looked at my surroundings seeing multiple students spread around the theater. From where I was standing near the door, I was able to spot my boyfriend's hair on the front row. A smile appeared on my lips while I walked towards where my boyfriend was sitting.

"Hello, Cal, I am here." I greeted him, walking into the front row.

Upon my boyfriend hearing my voice, I saw him turn around and he started to look at me as a wide smile appeared on his lips. "Hey my gorgeous girl, you are finally here. Please come here and sit down next to me, I have saved a seat for you."

"Thank you, Cal, you are the best boyfriend." I thanked him, sitting down on the empty seat next to him.

"Aubs, you are the best girlfriend." He told me, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"Bree, hi, yay, you're here. How are you feeling?" My best friend, Peyton asked me, sitting down next to Tristan and Samuel. Her pink theater binder was placed down on her lap. "You have arrived just in time, the auditions are going to start in the next six minutes."

"Hi, Pey, I am feeling good, the nerves still haven't hit me." I replied to her question, looking at her. "Good thing that I am here, do you know the order of the auditions?"

"Bree, even if you start feeling nervous that is perfectly normal. I know you are going to kill this audition like you do with everything that you put your mind into." Peyton told me, looking back at me, showing me a smile. "I believe the theater teacher is going by the names in alphabetical order."

"I agree with her, Aubs." Calvin said, giving me a quick kiss on my left cheek."

"Yeah, Pey, you're right." I told her, looking back at her as I returned her smile. "So, you're telling me there is a high possibility that my name will be called first?"

"Aubs, I believe so." My boyfriend responded to my question.

"Good evening, students, thank you for being here. Before we begin, first, myself and the theater's department would like to thank everyone of you, for coming to audition today for this year's spring play. It means a lot to us to see how many students from all grades and ages want to be part of this year's spring play. Well let's start with the auditions." Peyton's theater teacher started speaking from the table in front of us then I saw the back of her head looking down at her clipboard. "Can Aubree Rose Emerson, please come up here."

"Good luck, Aubs." My boyfriend whispered into my ear before I stood up from my seat.

"Thank you Cal." I thanked my boyfriend before I made my way onto the stage for my audition. Before speaking to the audience in front of me who was looking back at me, I shock the nerves off my body. " Good evening, everyone, my name is Aubree Rose Emerson, I will be auditioning for the role of Ariel."
