Act 1 Scene 5 II | H.M.

Synopsis: Part two for Act 1 Scene 5

Y/N

It's been a few weeks since I was partnered with Henry to do the acting project.

Currently, I'm at Henry's house, supposed to be rehearsing but instead playing around.

"Henry stop!" I laugh, lifting my arms to cover my face from the handful of popcorn that was thrown at me.

I move from behind the couch that was covering me, and grabbed a handful of popcorn, just like his, from the bowl located on the couch. My head turned to the side a few times before finally seeing a strand of brown hair behind one of the living room's dinning table.

I let out a small giggle before running up to him, hand in the air ready to throw at my target.

He recognized me and stood up, trying to run away but just as he did that, I began running faster and without realizing it, I tripped with an object misplaced on the floor.

I closed my eyes, prepared to feel the ground. Nothing happened, and confused I looked up, only to be met by the same charming brown eyes closer than ever to mine.

We stood there, paralyzed, looking into each other's eyes. Henry's eyes moving from mine to my mouth, repeating the same pattern over and over again before he started to lean in.

I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact to come. A small amount of millimeters separating our lips from each other. Our lips this close to connecting with each other.

"W-We should start working on the project." I felt my cheeks blush. My body moving away from his, hands brushing a strand away from my face before walking towards the couch where our books where located.

"Yeah, of course." he followed.

There was an awkward silence before we began rehearsing.

"So this kiss part..." he began.

"Yeah, um there's a way to make it seem like we're kissing when we're not. Like, lets say you put your hand on my cheek, covering our mouths and place a kiss on the side of my mouth instead of the mouth itself." I explained, playing with my fingers.

"So, like this?" he asked before stepping closer to me and placing his hand on my cheek, and looking deeply into my eyes. Our heads tilting to the side, his lips getting closer to mine, only to put them as close to the mouth but without touching it.

"Yeah." I softly whispered.

The both of us closed our eyes, leaning in. Our lips closer and closer to touching each other. He moved even closer, his arms wrapped around my waist, my arms found themselves wrapping around his neck.

I felt his lips softly touch mine before someone opened the front door, coming into the living room. Quickly, the both of us separated from each other, awkwardness filled the room.

"Uh, I'm sorry. Was I interrupting something?" I heard Henry's mom ask.

"No, nothing at all." we nervously replied.

Henry's mom quickly left the room, climbing up the stairs, leaving me and Henry alone once more. I felt something vibrate in my back pocket and I ran my hand through my jeans, taking my phone out and reading a text from my mother, asking when I was going to be home.

"Hey Henry." he turned around. "I should be heading home." I said, grabbing my school bag and throwing it around my back.

"Oh yeah sure, let me just walk you to the door."

We walked together to the front door, where we left his house, Henry closing the door behind him.

I turned around to look at him for the last time today and placed a small kiss on his cheek.

"Goodbye." I said, before walking away.

"Goodbye!" I heard him shout behind me before a door was shut.

I smiled to myself.
