Pretend- A Peybrina fanfic

Chapter 14

The table read ends, with lots of laughs and "aww"s. This is going to be a seriously great episode. I also couldn't be happier for Rowan. I noticed Corey staring at her almost the entire time.

I start heading to craft services for lunch, but suddenly remember my promise to Peyton to meet him in the prop room. Speed-walking, I navigate the path through the empty hallways.

I turn the handle of the tall, brown door and let myself in. No one's there. It's been awhile since I visited the prop room. I walk around, looking at all the props from over the years. I spy Mr. Googly and the astronaut riding the horse. There are pictures lining the walls, and I see one of Rowan, Peyton, Corey and I from before we even started filming. We all look so little then!

Just as I start to turn to leave, I feel two hands cover my eyes. "Peyton," I say.

"Sabrina," he replies, removing his hands. I giggle.

We stare at each other awkwardly for a few moments.

"So... why did you want me to come here?" I ask.

"B," he begins. I freeze up again. I can't help it; it feels uncontrollable. I can't hear anyone call me that without remembering Bradley.

"B?" He asks again. I shake my head.

"Please don't call me that," I say. "Please."

"Okay..." Peyton replies, obviously confused. He seems to shake it off, though.

"So, Sabrina," he begins again. He wipes his hands on his pockets. "Um, so, you know, the Disney Channel black and white ball is coming up... Would you maybe want to go with me?"

My heart pounds through my chest. "Yeah, of course!" I reply. "That'd be great."

"So, it's a date?" He asks. "Or a friend thing. Whatever works."

"Yeah," I say.

"Yeah to what?"

"A date."

Peyton grins. "Okay then, Sab."

I grin back.
