I Never Planned On You

Day 3/14- Feelings

"I've got no use for moonlight, or sappy poetry. Love at first sight's for suckers, at least it used to be." Joey sang as we were doing the show. At the end of the song, the tower rolled off the stage before the boys, and Kaitlyn, went on to sing The World Will Know. This is one of my favorite songs in the entire show, so I always watch in the wings instead of preparing for Watch What Happens, which is probably a bad idea.

"Ugh, I swear I am going to kill myself!" I said, putting my face in my hands after the final bows.

"What's the matter, girlfriend?" Melissa asked as she put her arm around my shoulders.

"Did you not hear me mess up 4 billion times today?!" I said, aggravated.

"Sorry, honey, I was gone for most of the show. I didn't hear any mess up."

"It was the worst thing ever! My voice was cracking, I was choking on spit, I was stuttering, I tripped in King of New York!" I groaned/

"That happens to the best of us, Andie. We all have to have a bad day every once in a while." She smiled.

"What up, guys?" Ben said, coming over to us. "Hey, what's wrong?" He noticed my expression.

"I had such a bad show, couldn't you tell?"

"Well, you missed one step in King of New York, but other than that, you did perfectly." He tried to reassure me. "Trust me, Andie, once the butterflies of the first few shows wear off, you notice every single tiny thing you mess up on, but nobody else does. Don't worry about it, your show was great."

"Thank you, Benjamin." I said, knowing he hates it when I call him that.

"Ugh, I told you not to call me that!" He whined.

"Sorry, Benny-Boo!" I laughed as he cringed.

"That's even worse!" Ben complained.

"You'll live." I said, patting him on the shoulder as I walk away.

Melissa's POV:

"Mel, can I talk to you for a sec?" Ben asked after Andrea left.

"Yeah, of course. What's bothering you, sweetie?" I ask him.

"Well, I kind of have a big crush on Andie, and she said she likes me back, but she doesn't want a relationship right now, but I really want to date her and I don't know what to do." He said in a matter of 7 seconds.

"Woah, buddy, slow it down a minute. First of all, I already know you have a crush on Andie."

"Wha- How did you figure it out?" He asks.

"It's pretty obvious. Secondly, if she likes you, why doesn't she want to date you?"

"She got her heart broken in a relationship not that long ago, and she's afraid I'm going to eventually break her heart again." He sighs.

"Then maybe you should wait a little while, then ask her out." I suggest.

"Okay. How long is a little while?"

"It just depends, Ben. Anywhere from 1-3 months, probably." I tell him.

"Mel, I don't want to wait three months to go out with her." He says, "I just want to be with her now."

"Maybe wait for her to signal something to you. If you can't tell if something is a signal or not, just tell me and I will probably be able to clear it up for you." I lightly chuckled.

"What if she never sends me a signal?" He asked, with his posture dropping slightly.

"Well, she will. And on the off-chance that she doesn't, you're a big boy, you can handle it." I smile.

"Thanks, Mel. I gotta go wash this dirt on my face, adios!" He said

FINALLY he is admitting that he likes her! I've been waiting for this day since I ever realized he had a crush on her! Now, I just have to get Andrea to admit she is falling for Ben, then BAM I can really start to set them up. I have to text Meredith:

' HA! BEN JUST ADMITTED HIS FEELINGS FOR ANDIE TO ME! SUCK IT, MOMMA ' I type out and wait for a reply. You see, Mer and I had a bet about who they would admit their feelings to first, and I just won!

' UGH! BUT THAT'S REALLY GOOD WHAT DID HE SAY? ' She immediately responded

' I WILL TELL YOU LATER! '

' TELL ME NNNNOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!! '

' I WILL GO TO YOUR DRESSING ROOM '

And go, I did.

Sorry this is so short!
