Forever You and Me//Janthony

Chapter 8

Jasmine pov

I'm startled awake by my stupid alarm clock. Damnit. Luckily, Anthony doesn't wake up and I think to myself "five more minutes won't hurt," as I snuggle in closer to him. Well, five minutes turned into fifteen minutes and before we knew it, the whole cast was arriving at the theatre.

Phillipa pov

"Renee, why is our light on?" "Jasmine must be here already" she answers. "Oh yeah. But doesn't she usually get here at the same time as us?" Renee just shrugs her shoulders at me as we make our way up the stairs.

When we get to the top of the stairs, we lightly tap on the door to make sure it's ok to go in. We don't get an answer so we assume it's safe. We were wrong.

Renee pov

Phillipa and I push open our dressing room door, and we were not ready for what we saw on the other side.

"Holy guacamole!" I hear Pippa yell. Jasmine and Anthony roll off the couch into a heap, completely awake and frightened by our sudden out burst.

"What the hell are you guys doing?!" I half scream half question. They just look at us with eyes that say "Please don't say anything," but it's already too late because Daveed and Oak are in our dressing room with the same shocked expressions that Pippa and I were wearing.

"What the hell is going on in here?!" Daveed says. "You guys all owe me ten bucks! I told you they were dating!" Oak shouts. "Would you guys shut up!" Anthony says. "Jasmine and I are not dating. We were here by ourselves and we just fell asleep. That's it. Now please don't tell Lin because who knows what he would do to us for "sleeping together," ok? It's unnecessary drama." We all agree that we won't say anything but I feel like there's something going on that Jasmine isn't telling us about. I'll find out later.

Anthony pov

Phew, that was a close one. The guys and I make our way to our own dressing room, but I can't help but feel a little guilty about just running out on Jasmine like that. Luckily, after I change into my rehearsal clothes, I run into her in the hallway.

"Hey, I'm really sorry about just leaving you before. That's obviously not how I planned for that to go" I say to her. "It's fine," she says back, kind of in a cold tone of voice. "Woah, wait. Did I do something wrong? Because I though we were doing pretty well" I say to Jasmine, my voice full of concern. "Yeah, I thought we were going well too until you said we weren't dating." I don't really think about what I'm going to say next so it kind of just came out: "Yeah, I said we weren't dating, but I never said that I didn't want to date you."

Ha. Take that. After I said it, I realize that I probably should've said it a nicer, more romantic way because Jasmine kind of just stared at me.

Holy shit, I just screwed this up so bad. I'm about to apologize again, but as I'm saying "I'm sorry," Jasmine captures my lips in hers, and before we know it, we are semi-making out in the hallway.

Woohoo!! Well, that was before the cast emerged from their dressing rooms.
