Prompt idea: Jan-thony.tumblr.com

7.) Jasmine and Anthony had started dating about two or three months ago and Jasmine grew super close with Anthony's sister, Stephanie. The girls are talking about Anthony and Jasmine realizes how much she loves him. She's never said she loved Anthony out loud.

-----

It was just like any other Saturday. Anthony would be at Jasmines apartment at 11:00am sharp and they'd make their way to momma Ramos' house for noon.

The first time Jasmine met his family she was nervous beyond belief. She had heard the stories about his mother being head strong, she wanted the best for her kids. But when she opened that door she fell in love with Jasmine. She knew that Jas would be the one for Anthony.

The pair haven't been together for long, they were creeping up to the three month mark. Jasmine had only met his siblings once, briefly when they surprised Anthony on his birthday durning rehearsals. From then on Mario would come visit and he grew rather close with Jasmine. He even joked about the two dating before anything was official.

When Jasmine met Stephanie officially it was after they had started dating. The two bonded almost instantly. They liked a lot of the same things and would easily find themselves laughing about things other people might find stupid.

Today was one of those days. Everyone had finished lunch and while Mario, Anthony and their mom were talking in the kitchen, Jas and Stephanie were in the living room.

"I remember one time, Anthony decided he could do my hair in the morning. I must have been five or six at most, our mom had to go to work early and I couldn't just walk out with my hair looking a mess. But I did. Probably a worse mess than if I left it out. He took all of my hair and held it at the top of my head then made me turn in circles so he could put an elastic over it. It was the worst ponytail I've ever had." Stephanie laughed. She told Jasmine a bunch of stories about Anthony as a kid and teenager. Jasmine couldn't help but feel like she was falling more and more in love with him. Love. She thought to herself. She never told him that because although knowing she was great feelings for Anthony she didn't know if it was love. Now she was certain.

"Jas we gotta get going, we have a show tonight." Anthony said walking to where the girls had been sitting.

"I swear you two just got here." Stephanie said not wanting them to leave just yet.

"It's almost 2:30 Steph." Anthony reminded her.

"Well alright." She said standing up to give them both goodbye hugs.

"We're going Ma." Anthony said peaking his head into the kitchen.

"So soon?" She said.

"We have a show." He said once more. His mother nodded and like Stephanie, gave them both hugs.

"Bye Mario!" Anthony shouted up the stairs to where his brother was.

"Bye!" He shouted back. The pair were just about to leave when his mom remembered something.

"Wait Jasmine." She said hurrying back. She handed her a recipe for cookies,"Give this to your mom, I was talking to her and she wanted to make them." She said with a smile.

"I'll make sure too." Jasmine said smiling back. Anthony's mom gave her another hug before saying that she,"looks forward to seeing her next week." Anthony and Jasmine weren't even aware that their moms had been talking, they only met once when Hamilton opened at the Public.

The two finally left, hand-in-hand. They got on the subway and made their way to the theatre. They talked the whole time which made the 40 minute trip from Bushwick to the theatre feel a lot shorter.

"I was talking to Stephanie and she made me realize something." Jasmine said a tad nervous.

"Yeah, what?" He asked.

"I love you." She said not to sure if this was to early or not to say it. But then a smile crept onto Anthony's face and she knew it was okay.

"I love you too." He said genuinely. He fell in love with Jasmine the moment she walked through the doors in rehearsals. The guys even teased him about it, in secret of course.

Maybe for some telling someone that they loved them on a train wasn't ideal. But for them it was everything. It was the fact that from where they were they could see the city that they loved, with the one that they loved. It was more than enough for them.
