Behind the Curtain

Behind the Curtain: Chapter 6

The next day Casey had a bounce in each step she took. "Casey you look happy today." Jo said while Casey began to straighten her hair backstage. "Well, just excited for the show today." Casey said grinning. "Your the first one here." Jo said eying Casey suspiciously. "Oh, well good. I'll have to dressing room to myself, I think I'll change now." Casey said still smiling. She entered the dressing room, unpacked her things, and changed into her first costume. The she started fixing her hair when there was a knock on the door. She opened it and looked down the hallway to the left. There was no one there. She was about to go back in when someone grabbed her from behind and spun her around. "Collin!" She said. Collin laughed. "Not funny! You terrified me!" Casey said punching his arm. "I thought it was quite funny actually." He teased. "Now if you don't mind I'm going to finish getting ready." Casey said rolling her eyes and going back into the dressing room.

The rest of the shows went by like a breeze. "One weekend left." Collin said to Casey as she packed her things up after the last Sunday night show. "Yea...so where will that leave us? Because I mean... I know I kissed you and we didn't really talk much about it, so I don't know where we really stand, or what or how to go about this. So what do you say? she asked. "Us? Well... I suppose that depends." He said. "On what?" Casey asked. "On this." Collin said and he leaned in and kissed her. He was so much taller that he actually picked her off her feet. Casey felt dizzy. "So?" he asked. "Well I guess that's all the answer I need." She smiled. "Good, because you talk to much." He teased. "And you're too serious." She smiled. "Not with you." He replied. Casey blushed "Yes, not with me." she said. "Am I driving you home?" he asked. "Do you want to drive me home?" she replied. "You make things so difficult." he teased. "I know." she laughed. "But yes I want to drive you home." He said. "Okay, then I'll let my mom know. I didn't feel like driving here today so she drove me." Casey said. "Tisk, Tisk, someone is getting lazy." he joked. "Hey, I'm tired from all these shows." She laughed. "Why? I mean I obviously pull all the weight." He shrugged. "Ugh, no you do not!" Casey said punching his shoulder. "I know, I just like making you mad." He teased. "Well you are really good at it." Casey laughed. "I'm really good at everything." he replied. "oh totally." Casey laughed and rolled her eyes. "Well let's go. You ready?" he asked. "Yup. Except I have to mentally prepare myself before getting in the car with you." she teased. "Oh hush it you little bugger." he laughed. "I'm a safe driver." "Guess we will find out." she laughed.
