behind the scenes [completed]

Chapter 27

If you haven't yet, I really suggest re-reading this book. It's now edited and I've changed some things about the characters/plot.

Please Excuse Any Mistakes
Some Days Later...

I shut the car door and looked over to were Anthony was standing.

He smiled and gestured towards my house, "This is only a proper date if I walk with you back to the door," he said.

I grinned and followed him to the door, "This our third date, Anthony, let's also not forget that we've already hung out a few times, you don't have to worry about walking me to a door" I said.

He chuckled.

He met me at the door. I took out my keys and unlocked the door, letting Anthony go in first.

I went in, turning and closing the door. A smile was on my face.
I didn't think I'd actually start liking Anthony...

My phone buzzed as I turned towards him.

I looked up at him. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the couch.

Who texted me?

I went to grab my phone but Anthony's voice cut me off, "I actually do like you, Lacey" he started.
I stopped in my movement as he continued, "W-When I told you this that one day, you didn't believe me... Do you believe me now?" He asked quietly.

I turned towards him, noticing he was staring down at his thumbs, which were moving around each other.

I looked back up at his face. I couldn't read his expression, not being able to make out what he was feeling.

I though it over. Maybe he does actually like me?
I mean, he is really sweet...

He turned to me, awaiting my answer.

I shrugged, "It's kind of hard not to believe now" I answered quietly.

A smile broke out on his face, but his eyes filled with worry, "What about you?"

I blinked, "What about me?" I asked.

He studied my face, "Can I believe that you like me?" He asked.

The air around us seemed to thicken.
I bit my lip in thought.

A small smile came on my face as I thought about everything that's happened in the past couple weeks.

Without anymore hesitation, I nodded, "It's be a lie if I said you shouldn't believe that"

His smile grew and his wrapped his arms around me, catching me by surprise. I hugged him back as he held me tighter.

I smiled as he let out a short laugh, "I've been waiting so long for you to actually like me" he said.

I shrugged and pulled away from him. His eyes skimmed down to my lips and I sucked in a breath.

He looked back to me, "Since these feelings are mutual," he started, "Will I be the one to steal your first kiss?" He asked.

I furrowed my eyebrows together and pulled away from him a bit more, "I never mentioned I've never kissed someone before..."

"Well, I kind of just assumed since in one of your videos you said you've never had a boyfriend?"

Well that just made this a bit awkward.

I let out a feeble laugh, "Ya, I guess I did mention that once..."
F*ck, what else have I mentioned in those videos?

Anthony kept the conversation going, not noticing how his comment affected the situation.
