My Dearest | JANTHONY

Chapter 5

It's been a week since the whole Mason problem. Now it's October. We only have one show today, and it's in the afternoon. I ask Renee and Pillipa if they want to hang out, but they're both busy. Anthony seeing his family, but I already knew that so I don't ask him. So, I ask Oak and he's free.

We just go back to my apartment and hang out. Oak always makes me laugh, no matter what mood I'm in. He's the best.

A few hours pass, and Oak has to leave. I change into sweatpants and a stained sweatshirt. I sit on my couch and watch episodes of The Office. I sit there for a little bit, until I hear a knock on the door. I get up to answer it. I open the door to see Anthony, standing in the hall with his fists clenched.

"Anthony I-" I'm interupted by him barging in the door. I slowly shut the door, scared and confused.

"Why were you with Oak?" Anthony asks. I can't help but burst out laughing.

"That?! We were just hanging out." I say, amused.

"Well you should've told me." Anthony states.

I furrow my eyebrows. "Why would I need to do that? I can do whatever I want!" I exclaim.

"I would just like to know!" Anthony snaps back.

I raise my voice, "I'm dating you! Not Oak! Why are you jealous of Oak anyways?!"

"Because.." Anthony yells, without finishing.

"Why?!!" I yell. My neighbors are probably furious at me.

"Becuase I love you!" Anthony yells.

Silence falls. Nobody except family has ever said they loved me. Anthony seems as stunned as I am.

"Yo-You love me?" I whisper, tears starting to form in my eyes.

"Of course. I'm sorry I'm overreacting-" I cut him off with a hug. Shocked, he hugs me back. We just stay there. Taking in each other's arms.

"I love you too." I say. The words taste foreign in my mouth, but I like it.

"Wanna watch a movie?" I ask like nothing just happened, even though a lot just happened.

Anthony gives a small chuckle and says, "As long as I'm with you."

We sit down and I lay down horizontally, putting my legs across his lap. My arm around his shoulder. I'm so comfortable in his arms. I could stay there forever. I soon fall asleep in his arms.

Anthony POV
I went to sleep after Jasmine. I wake up the next morning before her. I slowly put her legs on the couch as I gt up.

I decide to make her breakfast. Sort of am apology for being so dramatic yesterday. I see Jasmine emter the kitchen, stretching and yawning. "What's all this?" She asks, watching me make breakfast.

"Just made you breakfast. You deserve it." I say, placing two plates of eggs and toast on the table. I sit down, and motion her to sit by me. She smiles and kisses me on the cheek.

While eating, she drops her fork and exclaims, "We have to be at the theatre in a half hour for the afternoon show!"

I must've lost track of time.

"Get ready, and we'll stop by my place so I can change. Let's go!" I say, getting up.

Jas runs to her room, to get ready. A little bit later Jas rushes out, grabbing her purse and coat. I grab her hand and we run out. I don't live too far, so we can walk there in around seven minutes.

We run past the people walking on the sidewalk. Sooner than I thought we make it to my apartment complex. I rush in with Jasmine. When I get to mine, I unlock it and slam the door open. Rushing, I get changed as soon as I can.

When I'm done, we only have 10 minutes to get to the theatre. I whistle for a taxi. They pull up, and Jasmine and I scramble in. I tell him the directions, and tell him to hurry.

Luckily, we make it just in time. "Keep the change." I say, giving him 20 bucks.

We run to the dressing rooms. We split up to our rooms. I give her a peck on the forehead, and leave her to Renee and Philipa.

Jasmine POV
I put my purse down, sit down and catch my breath. Sure, I just sat in a taxi for a bit, but that doesn't mean I'm still tired.

"You better get ready." Renee points out.

"I know!" I say, getting up, and getting on my Peggy dress. I redo my makeup briefly, and put my hair in the signature Peggy style, half up.

"Ready." I say with a sigh of releif.

"Good. Let's go." Philipa says, walking out of the room. We run to the wings of the stage, a few minutes before the first show. We do our prep circle, and go on.
