Anthony Ramos - Just Another Chorus Girl

Only you

But that's when I look up and see Anthony watching us from the door way.

His breathing is heavy, his face is red, and his fists are tightly clenched at his side. I've never seen him like this, I honestly thought he was going to punch Daveed. That's was until Anthony looked right at me. His light brown eyes where brimming with sadness and disappointment. Before I can say anything, he rushes off.

I look at Daveed, and all he does is nod his head. Although his is visibly upset, i can tell he understands that I need to go speak to Anthony.

"We'll talk about this later, I promise" is all I say, before I quickly rush out of my dressing room, to go find Anthony.

After about 5 minutes of searching, I find Anthony sat on the roof, with his head in his hands. It breaks my heart to see him like this.

I walk over to where he is sat, and sit down next to him. He sits up and looks right at me.

"Anthony, I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I know it may not seem like it, but I would never do anything to intentionally hurt you, you must know that" I pleaded, my voice cracking in attempts to hold back tears.

"I know, it's not your fault," he said, catching me off guard. Honestly, I expected him to yell at me. "I saw that he kissed you first, I saw the whole thing."

His hand found its way into mine and he interlocked our fingers. I gently squeezed his hand and his sad face seemed to brighten up a little.

"I like you, Isabella. I didn't think I'd fall this hard for someone so quickly. I know I've been distant, but i was scared of messing things up or scaring you away, you know?"

I smiled, and rested my head on his shoulder, this was what I've been waiting to hear for weeks,

"I like you too, and it's only you I want- not Daveed, not anyone, only you." I said, reassuringly

"I can't believe Daveed got to kiss you before I did," Anthony said looking down so our lips where merely millimetres apart. "I can't believe he stole my moment."

I smiled at him,
"your moment?" I asked and he nodded, glancing from my eyes, to my lips and then back again.

"The thing is," he said biting his lip, "if I kissed you, I don't think I'd be able to stop" he chuckled, our lips so close that occasionally they'd brush against each other.

"Well there's one way to find out" I whispered, and with that he slammed his lips onto mine. I melted into the touch of his lips, and automatically followed his strong lead. My hands found their way to his chest and then felt their way to the back of his neck, before running my fingers through his long hair.

Within this 10 second window, everything else suddenly does not matter. It is just me and Anthony, and everything else has disappeared.
We pull away, our breathing stuttered, and our fingers still lurking on one another.

"Isabella, will you please be my girlfriend?" He asked hopefully.

I looked at him, grinning like a small child and nodded my head happily,

"Of course I will" I say, engulfing him in a tight hug, he does the same and begins to draw little circles on my back with his index finger, and place a series of small kisses on my neck, causing me to shiver.

I could stay like this forever.
