Wake Up Call (English) #Wattys2016

A Chance

--------- 2 Months later ------

I laughed as heck after the last rehearsal, when I and Chris went down from the stage together.

"Romeo, Oh Romeo! God, it's so cliché!" Chris laughed. "Are you nervous?" I met his gaze and wiped the tears of laughter that had spilled down my cheeks.

"A little ... I mean, if you fuck it up you've really done it. You can't just do the scene again ..." I said and took my jacket from one of the seats, he nodded curtly.

"True, but you'll be fine. You're great at memorizing lines! I mean, you already knew the half of it by the first day ..." I smiled at that.

"Thanks, but it's still hard ... I gotta say it like; Good Pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this. For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch ... And palm to palm is holy palmers kiss ..."I said and turned toward him, he coughed briefly and took my hand in his as he looked into my eyes.

"Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?" He stroked my hand gently.

"Aye Pilgirm, lips that they must use in prayer." I pulled my hand back with a smile, he laughed briefly and took my hand again, I met his gaze.

"O, then dear saint ... Let lips do what hands do. They pray, grant thou, lest fair turn to despair ..." He put my hand against his chest and took a step towards me, I looked into his eyes before I turned around.

"Saints do not move, though grant for prayers sake." Chris walked in front of me and looked into my eyes.

"Then move not, while my prayers effect I take ..." He leaned toward me to our lips met, hesitatingly I pushed him gently away from me while I shook my head with a smile. "Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged ..." he said and raised his eyebrow at me with a grin.

"Then have my lips the sin that they have took ..."

"Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again ..." He leaned toward me again and our lips met once again.

"Ehm ... Am I interrupting something ..?" I let go of the kiss and looked out onto a pretty nervous ... Brian ?!

"Brian !!" I laughed and patted Chris on the shoulder before I ran over to him. "Not at all, we were just practising a scene! Please tell me you'll be here tomorrow for the premiere !!" I said, Chris patted me on the shoulder as he walked past us and out the door, I smiled big for Brian.

"Of course, I'll be there." He smiled and coughed briefly.

"At least I know you'll be there ..." I said and sat down on the nearest chair with a sigh. Brian sat down next to me.

"He hasn't called or anything?" He asked quietly, I shook my head slowly.

"No ... I hope he got the tickets and just wanna make an entrance ..." I said low, Marshall wouldn't want to dissapoint me? He's coming right? Oh forget that now! "Ehrm, why are you here?" I asked and met his eyes smiling. He cleared his throat and looked down at his hands.

"I ... I really, uhm ... I need to tell you something, well ... Or ask you something too ... Ehm ..." I raised my eyebrows at him. I brought my fingers through my blonde hair, yes I had to dye it blond because of the role ... "I'm stupid." I looked at him with big eyes.

"No, you're not ?? Where did that come from ??" I laughed nervously, he met my gaze.

"I'm stupid because I still ... I still love you, Alexis ..." He said, his brown eyes looked into my blue. "I know it's stupid, since I know you still have feelings for Marshall and you just got out of a pretty serious relationship, but I had to take the chance ... I love you, I thought I could get over you, I kept thinking of our last Skype call to make myself angry at you ... But when you called Stacy and she told me you and Marshall had broken up ... It was like a burden was lifted off my shoulders, now I had a chance ..." I looked at him shocked, he really said this to me ?? Brian still loved me ?? "And, I would never do what Marshall have done to you ... Never ever would I do a such a thing to break your heart. It's so fucked up that he can turn such a beautiful, loving and caring person down just like that. So I'm asking you, Alexis ... Would you like to go out with me sometime ..?" He looked down at his hands.

Beautiful, loving and caring person? I looked down at the necklace around my neck, it was my promise that I would wait for him ... I looked up at Brian.

"I ... This is so much to take in ..." He nodded understandable. "But ... You are right, I still care for Marshall ... But if he won't show up on one of the most Important days in my life, he doesn't care about me ..." I thought aloud. "If he doesn't show up tomorrow ... If Marshall doesn't care about me as much as I care about him and doesn't show up tomorrow, I want to get over him ..." I met the eyes of Brian. "And I would go out with you, because ... I may or may not have feelings for you, I don't know exactly ... I haven't thought of you as my boyfriend in a long time, maybe I never will, but only time will tell ..." I said and opened the necklace and took up the little crumbled paper.

"It wasn't a mistake, Alex. I love you."

Then prove it by showing up tomorrow ...
