Princess - A Chmergess Story

Chapter 5

Sharna's POV
Two shows later and we're back in a hotel. This time
I'm in a room with Jenna. I also have all my clothes. I get out of the shower and walk out in just a sports bra and shorts. It's kind of hot in the hotel, so that's all I sleep in. I get on Instagram for a little bit, and then text my mom the shows are going great. I decide to go to sleep and turn off my lamp. Jenna's not here. I assume she's with the other girls.
A few hours later I'm still awake. I love insomnia during the season because I stay awake and choreograph dances and everything. But, during the tour, I hate it. I decide to text Val.

Sharna: You up?

Val: Yeah princess what do you need

Sharna : who's your roommate

Val: artem but he's not here

Sharna : can i come sleep with you

Val: sure princess just come ill unlock the door

And with that I creep out of the room and head to Val's. I almost turn back because I feel like this is a stupid idea, but I continue on. I open the unlocked door and step in.
"Val?"
"Yeah, babe?"
"Sorry for bugging you."
"No worries."
"I couldn't sleep."
"I don't care. Come here."
I crawl into Val's chest like usual, and stare up at him. He's already fallen asleep. He doesn't have a shirt on, I just realized. His curls of hair are messy and falling over the place. Yet, he's perfect. I press into him further and go to sleep.

Laurie's POV
"The reason I called you all to our room is we need another step in our plan," I say. Everyone is gathered in my room.
"Can't we figure it out tomorrow? I'm really sleepy," complains Gleb.
"Buck up, buttercup," Alan teases. Gleb sticks his tongue out at him.
"Children!" Lindsay scolds.
"Yes, we need to decide a step three," Whitney says.
"Any ideas?" I ask.
"How about we make sure they're always on the same tour bus?" Hayley suggests.
"Whatever you girls want," Artem says.
"We need your guys's help. You all know Val better than we do," Jenna retorts.
"Fine," Gleb sighs.
"I think that's a good idea, I guess," Keo states.
"Is that all then?" I ask.
"Meeting concluded!" Whitney says.

Sharna's POV
"Hey, Princess, wake up," Val nudges me. I grumble a response.
"Plans changed we have to get on the tour bus this morning," Val informs, climbing over me.
"Fine."
"Why at you in here?" Asks Artem.
"I dunno," I reply.
"Whatever. I got your bags from your room for you and packed what was left of yours. I can go load it for you if you like," Artem states. I glance at the clock and notice its 4 in the morning.
"Sure thanks," I say, not bothering to get my clothes for the day out. He heads out of the room.
"Can we be in the same tour bus?" I ask Val.
"Sure, why?" He replys, putting on a shirt.
"Because, then I can cuddle with you at night," I say, smiling.
"I'd love to be on the same tour bus as you then."
"Okay."
I sit on the edge of the bed waiting for Val to finish whatever he's doing.
"Why do you call me princess?" I ask.
"Because," he hesitates, "when I first met you, I thought to myself: Wow she's beautiful. She looks kind of like a princess. I don't know what was going through my head that day. It's kind of a stupid analogy. But basically, because you're beautiful."
"You think I'm beautiful?" I ask timidly.
"Yes, of course I do. You're the most beautiful woman I have ever met."
"Oh," I say blushing.

Val's POV
"Yeah," I say awkwardly. I kind of want to spill my feelings to her right now. I'm tired so it's probably a terrible idea, but I don't care.
"Well you're definitely not ugly yourself," Sharna says, interrupting my thoughts. I go to sit down beside her one I'm all packed.
"I need to tell you something, but you have promise it can't ruin our really good friendship," I start. No going back now.
"What?" Asks Sharna seriously. I try to find the words to say this.
"Well this is going to come as a blow to the stomach I think, but I'm in love with you, Sharna May Burgess. I have been since the day I met you," I turn away, avoiding her gaze. I don't want to see if it's disappointment, or shock, or whatever else she's feeling.
"Really?" She asks.
"I shouldn't have said anything, sorry. That was a bad idea. I just ruined ev-"
"I love you, too."
"What?" I say, in shock.
"I love you, Valentin Aleksandrovich Chmerkovskiy."
"You love me?"
"That's what I just said."
And then, I don't know who initiates it, but we kiss. It sends lightning bolts through my body. Fireworks. I've never felt fireworks when kissing someone before. Now, I know what they mean. She pulls away.
"So," she begins.
"So."
"Are we dating now?" She asks.
"I think so."
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
"I could get used to saying that," she giggles.
"I could too," I giggle back. Then we kiss again. This time I pull away.
"Babe, we need to go," I say, emphasizing the word babe.
"You're right," she smiles. We stand up and I entangle our fingers together.
"Should we tell people?" I ask.
"Do you want to?" She says after hesitating.
"Not yet. Let's test the waters first," I answer.
"Okay," she says happily, pulling her hand away.

WHAT THEYRE A COUPLE NOW?!
Hehe
I kind of wanted to build the suspense up but I didn't have any more ideas.
And wait
What
I uploaded yesterday, and double upload today? What is this madness?
My friend stayed at my house overnight and she slept longer than I did so I had like 2 and a half hours to write. Don't keep expecting this. It won't happen often.
Well as usual I hope you liked this chapter. It was very fun to write😄
