Rikki's POV
Opening night has come and gone. Tonight is the final performance. And while I'll miss it, I'm secretly glad. No more messing with Dominic. He and Lindsey can be together fooooorevver.
Gag me.
Lindsey has flirted non-stop for the past two days.
Dominic hasn't really acknowledged her.
I don't know what I think about him.
Some days I HATE HIM.
Most days I LOVE HIM.
And now I'll never have to deal with him again.
The final scene is coming and I sit backstage. I feel Dominic grab my shoulder.
"Break a leg. This is almost over." He whispers.
Um.
Weird.
This is weird.
Dominic's POV
I can't believe I just said that to Rikki. Her face looks confused so I back away and wait until we go on.
Soon we're on stage, reciting our lines.
"I protected you, Georgia. I saw that the attacker was coming after you. That's how I got these bruises. Because I dove in front of you to protect you." I recite.
"Oh, David!" She replies and throws her arms around me. I try to not think about her body touching mine. Or how good it feels.
I escort her offstage.
We're the first people off so the dressing room is free of bothers.
"Great show." She mumbles.
"You were amazing. I think you're amazing." I respond.
She looks at me and all is quiet.
Then, without realizing what I'm doing, I make my way toward her.
She looks confused again.
I pull her head towards mine and our lips crash together.
Rikki's POV
What.
What the.
What the hell.
WHAT THE HELL.
I'm kissing Dominic. What?
He pulls away just as someone calls from behind the door, "Curtain call."
It sounds a lot like Alan. Or Destiny pretending to be Alan.
We exit together and head on stage to take our final bow.
After the many minutes of clapping, we're free to leave the stage. I start walking towards Des when a hand pulls me into the shadows of the auditorium.
Dominic's free hand holds my face while the other has a firm grip on my hand. He lips find mine.
It's strangely comfortable. And almost familiar.
Like I was meant to be there.
Lindsey's POV
I wander through the now empty auditorium, looking for Dominic.
There I see him, making out with some slut.
That whore!
That Bitch!
That.....
RIKKI?!
