Chapter Five

The next day, my mom had ordered me to walk to the coffee shop and get her a cappuccino. Reluctant, I agreed.

"Order for Finn!" The barista called out.

I said 'Thank you', then headed out.

I stopped by the entrance.

and looked left and right.

I decided to take a new route, but this time I won't get lost.

Hopefully.

After a few minutes of meandering around, I found myself in a quaint neighborhood. All the houses were perfectly painted and had their yards trimmed.

Just before leaving the neighborhood, I came across the last house. There was music playing from there yard, and a girl was dancing along to it.

I smiled like a goof. For who else could it be? The lovely Millie Bobby Brown.

She wasn't dancing ballet, she was casually just moving her head from side to side and occasionally lip-singing. And there I stood, smiling like a goof watching her.

Millie then noticed me a few minutes later.

"How long have you been there?" She questioned me, her thick British accent coming out perfectly. I could listen to her all day.

I snapped myself out of my thoughts.

"Not so long. Just, fifteen minutes?"

She rolled her eyes.

"Come on! Join me!"

I flustered. "I-I'm not the best at dancing."

She grabbed my hands.

"Don't worry, I'll help you."

Suddenly, the song had changed from 'Super Trooper' (abba tho) to 'Only You'.

She put her hands on my neck, while I put mine on her waist.

I felt a bit stiff and rather awkward, but than I began to relax more.

The next thing I knew, our faces were only centimeters apart.

I locked eyes with Millie.

"Finn?"

"Yes?"

"I-"

Suddenly the porch door opened to reveal a little girl.

We pulled away immediately.

"MILLIE I-" she stopped mid-sentence.

Then she ran up to us.

"Millie, is this your boyfriend you always talk about?"

Her eyes widened as her cheeks turned into a light shade of pink. "What? Ava, I do not have a boyfriend. This is my friend, Finn." She gestured to me.

She just shrugged. "Anyways, Mommy is calling you. She says you need to practice for your audition."

Her eyes widened. "That's right!"

She turned to me. "I'm sorry Finn, I have to go and practice for the audition."

"No it's alright! Take care."

She gave me a smile. That oh, so lovely smile.

I made my way back home, my head in the clouds because of a certain 'Millie Bobby Brown'.
