Secret Lovers (ButtahBenzo)

Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Auditions

As we arrived, I hastily checked the time on my watch. 3:02 PM.

"Shay, we're 2 minutes late." I said, getting out of the car. The dark-haired girl shut her door and I pressed a button on my key fob which locked all the doors. "We have to run."

"Race you there!" She exclaimed and ran ahead of me. Sometimes I can't believe how childish she could be but I just got along with it and ran.

"You're going down, Mitchell!" I shouted. The parking lot was completely deserted so I felt the need to scream at her. Nobody would even mind since they were all inside the large building. My pace quickened and I thanked all the gods that I wore my Converse and that I brought a pretty small backpack with me. Shay wore her uncomfortable boots which gave me an advantage. The entrance was far from the parking so we had a lot of time to commence our little race.

I was inches away from her and my pace sped up. Her face tensed up and her eyes widened when she saw me. It was usually her who won these games but now it was my time to win.

I smirked and I was able to go in front of her.

"Hey! Noo. Slow down. These boots are killing me!" She exclaimed and slowed down. I was almost there and I looked over my shoulder to see both her hands on her knees, releasing heavy breaths.

"Come on! We'll be late!" I said and went straight to the door. She caught up and went inside with me.

The auditions would be on the 3rd floor so we took the lift. I glanced to my side to see Shay on her phone, her breathing still quick.

"What time is it?" I asked the woman beside me.

"5 minutes after 3." She breathed. I stifled a laugh since it was fun to see her this tired. I couldn't help it anymore and laughed.

"What's so funny?" She asked me while she ran the back of her hand on her forehead. I laughed even more since she was even sweating. "Why are you laughing?"

"Nothing. It's just so fun seeing you like this. You're never a tired person." I replied after my 'solo laughing session' ended.

"Yeah whatever." She said and her eyes fixated on the metal doors almost at the same time as the elevator beeped. We took one last look at ourselves and I didn't look pretty bad myself. Shay fixed her hair and some of her mascara was smudged. I realized that she used my makeup.

"You know, you should ask permission before you use my stuff." I joked and walked out of the elevator. The hall was quiet but there was a faint voice coming from one of the rooms. I immediately know that it was the room we have to get into.

She looked confused at my statement but then she realized and her face turned into an apologetic one.

"Sorry. I didn't want to look like I was just screwed a few hours ago. So I figured that I'd use your makeup." She said with a mix of sincerity and mischief.

"It's fine. I probably made you look like a mess. No actually, it was the other way around." I said an remembered the events last night. "Look at all these marks!" I exclaimed and pointed to my neck where there were bite marks everywhere.
