Pippa's POV
I walk into Lin's office, without knocking, which was clearly a mistake because he was shirtless and still doing his hair.
"Oh! Uh, sorry, I'll just..." I trail off, reaching for the door knob. "Oh, Pippa, no it's fine." He said quickly grabbing a shirt and putting it on. "S-Sorry." I apologize again, not even above a whisper. Lin continues talking, so I assume he didn't hear me. "I just wanted to say that there is no reason for you to feel embarrassed about your little mess up, okay? You did amazing! I couldn't have imagined anyone doing any better." He said taking my hands and holding them, reassuring me that what he was saying was true.
I was so flustered I didn't even know what to say. But why? Why did I feel flustered? Did I... like him? No. No you don't Phillipa. You have a fiancé that you love and he was a wife and son that he loves. You're just happy right now. The show went great.
"T-Thanks." I manage to stutter out. "So, you're coming to the after party right." He says, more of a command than a question. I knew he wanted the whole cast to be there, so I assume nothing of it. "Of course!" I say cheerfully. "Great!" Lin says. He seemed really happy about that. "Well... I'll see you there." I say before walking out the door.
Lin's POV
I was talking with Christopher Jackson, one of my best friends, when I stopped short when Pippa walked in. She was wearing the same outfit she was wearing when I invited her into my office, but in the glowing lights she managed to look even more stunning. Wait. What am I saying? I mean, I have a wife, and she'd be slapping on the face me right now if she knew what I was thinking. I tear my gaze away from Pippa back to Chris who noticed my staring and starting wiggling one of his eyebrows. I elbowed him and he laughed. "Falling for your stage wife, eh?" He teases. "What?! No. Of course not!" I defend myself. I do not have a crush on Phillipa Soo.
Suddenly I'm dragged to a new conversation with a reporter, but was only half paying attention. I just couldn't take my eyes off Pippa. She was talking with her fiancé, who was her plus one, and I couldn't help but feel jealous.
Why though? Why am I jealous? It's Pippa and Steven and we are best friends. You're probably half drunk right now. No... I haven't had anything to drink tonight.
I wanted to walk right up to her and just talk to her but I couldn't not with the reporters around. They'd think of some headline, calling me and Pip a cheaters.
I just decided to wait until I was alone, which couldn't take long enough, But eventually I am and I make my way over to her.
