Finally. Now was the moment. The luminescent lights that shone down on the stage dimmed, and the curtains closed. Stage hands were giving everyone their cues, letting them know that the house was opening. Lins hushed voice could be heard, wishing everyone luck. I stood there, taking everything in. It was opening night. I couldn't believe it, we had come so far since the public. We were on Broadway now.
I felt a warm hand on my lower back, and the presence of someone behind me. Before I could turn, Anthony pressed his nose to the temple of my head and whispered into me ear, his voice slow, soothing.
"Nervous?" he asked, his words echoing through my brain.
"What- N-no not at all..." I answered quickly, turning around so that I faced him. I was very nervous, but didn't want Anthony to think so.
"Don't be. You'll do great." he smiled, looking right through me, knowing how nervous I was.
And with that, Anthony took his hand off my back, and walked away, his fingers brushing my waist as he left. I stood there, looking flustered, as the butterflies in my stomach from nervousness doubled, giving me the hopelessly in love feeling I always got around him. Anthony and I have been flirting, at least I have been, for months now, and the feeling I got when I was with him still hasn't changed. I watched as he strutted over to Daveed and Oak, and started laughing and talking as always. Sighing, I walked over to Renee and Phillipa, who embraced me with big warm hugs.
The show was amazing. Everyone was so perfect, every dance move and note was performed correctly, and with such skill and class. As we all lined up on stage to take out final bows, Anthony appeared beside me and grabbed my hand, to take our bows. The audience was going crazy, and as the curtains closed, I could still feel him holding my hand, gently but so tenderly. I looked at him, but before i could say anything he lifted me into a hug, his arms tightly wrapped around me.
"You were amazing, Jas." he whispered, sounding so proud, his voice genuine and happy.
"So were you." I responded, smiling, my face buried into the crook of his neck. We stayed like that, in each other's arms, him holding me off the ground, for another few minutes, before a voice startled us.
"Hey lovebirds. Get changed and let's go party!!" Daveed cheered, already changed into his normal attire.
