Chapter 5

(Kells' POV)

It was round three of the music contest and the judges including myself were all already discussing who we thought would win. One liked Ellie Letcher, a nerdy type girl who was a damn good comedian. Another liked Sabrina's friend, Mr. Fallout Bitch Boy. I could hear Sabrina telling me not to talk bad about him. I smiled as her stern but gentle voice played in my mind.

"Uh, Kells? Who do you think will win?" One of the judges asked. I came back to reality. "Oh right, my bet's on Sabrina Maplewood." One of the judges smiled. "You do get a little twinkle in your eye when she walks up on the stage." I could tell I was blushing. "You wish." The judge laughed. Suddenly, the announcer came back stage. "You ready to open the curtain?" We nodded. He opened the curtain and a contestant stood up on the stage. I made eye contact with Sabrina who was sitting in the crowd. She blew me a kiss. I smiled. She smiled back.

About 25 minutes later, Sabrina slowly climbed up on the stage. She focused on me as the announcer guy questioned her. "What will be be singing today?" He asked her. "Fallin' by Alicia Keys."

The lights dimmed and Sabrina closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The instrumental played in the background. She opened her eyes and kept them on me until she hit a high note, where she'd close her eyes again. She was honestly the best singer there.

After the auditions, I walked backstage to find Sabrina. She was standing alone. Mr. Fallout Bitch Boy came running up to her and gave her a tight hug. I rolled my eyes.

"You did so great tonight." I heard him tell her. "Thanks, so did you." She said mildly. I smiled. He gave her another hug before he took off for the door. I snuck behind her and grabbed her by the waist. Startled, she turned around to face me. "Oh, it's just you." She said. "I mean, if anybody else grabs you by the waist, you tell me 'cause I'll knock them the fuck out." She smiled and gave me a hug. "I made it to fourth round." She said. I was still holding her waist and she was looking up at me.  "I know, and I'm so proud of you." I said. "Can we leave so I can kiss you?" She asked. I smiled and grabbed her hand.

I led her to my car and opened her door for her. She got in and put on her seat belt. I got in on the other side and did the same. I gave her one of my hands. She took it and kissed it. I smiled at her. This fucking girl, I thought. "...has me wrapped around her fucking pinky already.

(Later that night)

I carried a sleeping Sabrina to the hotel bed we were staying in. We were both headed back to Ohio for the next few weeks the next morning.

I felt Sabrina jump as I laid her in the bed. I kissed her. "It's just me." I said. I climed in the bed next to her. She moved closer to me. I wrapped my arms around her. She leaned forward and slowly kissed my lips. "Good night." She whispered. I kissed her forehead. "Good night, sleeping beauty."

(Sabrina's POV)

We were flying back to Ohio. I was sitting in the window seat as usual. Kells was sitting beside me, leaned back and listening to music through his headphones with his eyes closed. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. He opened his eyes and smiled at me. I smiled back.

(Later)

I tiptoed to my bedroom. It was 11 AM and Cynthia didn't have a class until noon. She was asleep on the couch when I walked in. "Sabrina?" She asked. "Yeah, it's me." I said. "Congrats on making it to a new round." She said. I nodded. "Thank you." She got up and started her shower. I went to my room and plopped down on my bed. Suddenly, my phone vibrated. *Since I know you'll be sleeping all day today, good night my love.* I smiled. *Good night, handsome.* I sat my phone on the coffee table beside me and drifted off to sleep.
