The Theater Room

Chapter 15

*Thursday*
Erin's POV:

*"Promise me!" I say and look up at Harry, "I promise." He replies, "Promise to give me a kiss on my brow when I am dead.--I shall feel it." I close me eyes for a few seconds then slowly reopen them, "And by the way, Monsieur Marius, I believe that I was a little bit in love with you."* I say then die. I feel Harry press his lips to my forehead and he lightly chuckles which causes me to chuckle in return. "Shut up." I giggle, "Sorry, your hair smells good." He giggles in return. "This is like the sixth flippin time you two have messed up today." Canton says as she walks over toward us.

"Sorry ma'am." I reply and Harry chuckles to which I elbow him. "Sorry." Harry mumbles and cracks a smile, "You two need to take this seriously." Canton adds and Harry stiffens up a little, "We are Mrs. C." "Then why do you keep messing up." "Everybody has off days ma'am." Harry adds and Canton smirks, "Alright then. Well we're about to change something up." "Pardon?" I question and Harry and I look at each other then back at her. "Change the position of the kiss." "What do you mean?" We ask in unison, "Like kiss her nose or something?" Harry asks and I giggle, "Why my nose?" "I don't know." He giggles in return and we glance back at Mrs. Canton.

"Erin swap your words from 'promise to give me a kiss on my brow' to 'promise to give me a kiss on my lips' that tiny of a change won't really matter." "Woah, woah, woah, hold up. You want me to kiss her kiss her?" Harry asks and looks down at me. "Maybe you'll stay more focused this way. No more mess ups. You'll be more apt to get this right because you'll be trying not to mess it up." "Mrs. C.. I don't know." "Why are you not sure Harry?" "I can't kiss her." He replies and I feel a pain in my chest, "Geez am I that revolting?" I try to play it off like what he said didn't just hurt my feelings. "No Erin I- I just I have a girlfriend and I just can't see myself kissing Erin. We're best friends." Harry replies and Canton groans in reply, "Harry. You're going to be acting. Just act." She says and walks off stage.

"Someone's in a good mood." Harry whispers once she's out of ear shot, "Yeahh," I chuckle, "but we have fu.cked up a lot today." I say and he nods, "True." "Let's just get this over with Harry." I reply and get into my spot for the beginning of the scene again. "Yeah let's do this shiz." He replies and gets in his spot and I shake my head, " This is gonna be interesting." I mumble to myself then Canton calls for us to start.

*"And by the way, Monsieur Marius, I believe that I was a little bit in love with you."* I smile then fake die. I hold my breath as I wait for Harrys' lips to connect with mine. When they do I feel something and I don't know if I like it or not. I lay here just motionless in his arms as his lips still linger on my motionless "dead" lips and I'm hoping he pulls away soon.

He pulls away and I let out the breath I was holding and open my eyes. "Well that happened." Harry says and looks at me, "Yeahhh.. I kinda figured that moment would've happened a little differently." I say and weakly chuckle, "What do you mean?"  "Um that uh that was- ya know what never mind." I finish saying as Mrs. Canton walks onto the stage.

I can feel Harrys' eyes on me as Canton walks over to us, "That was great. We're going to keep it like that." She chippers and clasps her hands, "Run it again then we'll run a few more scenes then we'll be done for today." She says and I groan and go to my place and Harry gives me a look that I can't really read.

"Okay that's all, you may leave!" Canton calls out and we all start gathering our things to leave. "Erin?" "Yeah?" I reply and turn to face Harry. "What did you mean by what you said?" "What did I say?" I ask trying to play it off, I know what he wants to know. "When you said that you thought that moment would've gone differently." Harry says as we start walking toward the exit. "Um what do you think I meant?" "I don't know. That you thought it would've been better." "I don't really have much to compare it to so you don't have to worry about that." I say and open the door that leads outside. "Wait. What do you mean? Didn't you date a guy back in Ireland?" "Yeah and he was the only person who had ever kissed me up until an hour ago." I reply.

"Okay. Well still, what did you mean by what you said?" he questions again, "Ugh dammit Harry you're persistent." I sigh then stop walking, "I meant that when I kissed the next guy I kissed I figured it wouldn't be stage acting, and I figured i'd be in a relationship with the person. So that's what I meant by thinking it would've gone differently." I say and he nods his head, "Ohh, okay. I understand." "Okay." I reply and start back walking.

A few minutes go by and Harry chuckles which makes me look over at him, "What?" I question, "So do you think I kissed good?" Harry asks and I roll my eyes and let out a chuckle, "I don't know. Kissing calls for both participants to respond to each other, and considering i'm 'dead' when you kiss me I can't kiss you back. So I really don't know." I chuckle, "Well dang." he huffs, "Do you want a compliment or something?" I giggle and he squints his eyes at me, "Your lips feel soft. There will that work?" I ask and he smirks, "I was looking for, 'Wow Harry you kiss like a God.' but I guess that will work." "You're so dumb." I giggle and he smiles, "You know you love it."
