Pippa's POV

Don't be? What the hell does she mean by don't be? Oh god she's going to tell everyone... Everyone that I kissed her and how I was the weirdo. She pulled on my wrist, but I refused to look up at her.

"Pippa please look at me." She sighed. I looked up at her with tears in my eyes. "Please don't cry..." She frowned. "I've never, ever been with a girl, but I'll admit I've had girl crushes... But I do have a pretty big crush on you." She laughed.

"You do?" I asked her.

"Yeah... I didn't know what to do with it though." She shrugged. I nodded and looked at her eyes. She had such beautiful eyes.

"I have the biggest crush on you too." I laughed nervously. She smiled and moved her hands into my hands. I intertwined our fingers and smiled. At least now there was no guessing if she liked me. "Can I kiss you again?" I asked quietly.

"Yes." She blushed. I leaned in and pressed my lips against hers. I felt so nervous still. But only because I hoped she wasn't just pulling my leg. When we broke apart I couldn't help but smile.

"I don't think we should watch the movie anymore." She giggled. I nodded and let her turn off Netflix. She moved herself closer to me and rested her hands on my legs. "So... Um..." She laughed.

"Do you think we should keep this a secret...?" I asked. She nodded and looked up at me. "I mean... I just don't know how it'll go if we do come out to the world about us... And then in a musical play each other's sister..." I frowned.

"Can we not think about incest right now." Jasmine laughed. I nodded and leaned back in my seat. I rested my head on the back of the couch. She leaned into my left side and played with my fingers. "Does this make us... More than friends?" She asked me.

"Well... We can be together if you want..." I suggested.

"I would like that." She said while looking back at me. I lifted my head up and laughed.

"So Jasmine, would you like to be my girlfriend?" I asked while resting my chin on her shoulder. She nodded and turned to look at me. I lifted up my head and kissed her again. I loved this. She was so perfect. When we broke apart I wrapped my arms tightly around her. "I'm going to have to act like a really good friend with you everywhere." I laughed.

"Me too." She said while leaning into me. I kissed her cheek and felt her smile. "I'm going to take a picture. But just for me." She said while pulling out her phone. I smiled for her picture and she took a few more. The last one was my favorite though. Us kissing. I loved it so much.

I ended up staying the night at her place but I slept on the couch. When we got to rehearsals, everyone was excited to start dancing. I laughed as I watched Daveed attempt to do what our instructor was showing him what to do.

"Look, I just can't do that." He pointed.

"Then just do something." He laughed. "I'm going to work on the sisters now while you figure that out." He pointed at our little group and we walked over to him. "Alright, so you guys for your number, you'll come out from here." He said while walking over to the back corner of the stage. "Then walk out here, singing, singing, then you're going to stop, look out then continue." He said while walking.

"Got it." I nodded.

"Pip, you'll be holding Jasmine's hand, but you're going to be pulling her with you. Jasmine, act like you don't want to be there." He explained. I smirked and looked at Jasmine.

"Done." She smiled while winking at me.

We went through our number a few times making sure we got where we needed to be. Then we did it with the instrumentals. It was awkward since we had to remember we were going to be in slightly bigger dresses rather than leggings and shirts.

"Alright, you three are great!" He smiled. "Let me work with ensemble now." He was working quickly. I didn't know why. We didn't start previews until the end of January then didn't start showing until February.

"This is fun!" Renee laughed. "Nothing like a good dance to let you know you're going to make it in life." She rolled her eyes at her own remark and I laughed at her. "So what did you guys do last night?"

"We watched movies and I ended up passing out on her couch." I answered. "I'm a terrible guest." I laughed. Jasmine shook her head and pushed me slightly.

"Well as long as you two are having fun." She laughed. We nodded, knowing that we were having fun. Keeping a huge secret from everyone and being cute together when we could. I decided to go to the dressing room to get my water bottle real quick. Hoping I  wouldn't miss anything while I ran up the flights of stairs to our dressing room. My phone buzzed while I searched my bag for my bottle.

'Jazzy: Where did you go so quickly?'

I smiled at her text and grabbed my water. I ran back down the stairs to the stage and saw that I hadn't missed much. I took back my seat near Renee and caught Jasmine's eyes. She furrowed her brows at me and I held up my water bottle. She nodded in understanding and watched the rest of the ensemble work on their dances. I think today was going to be good. Day one of being in a lovely relationship with Jasmine. She trusted me, I trusted her. She was amazing at everything she does, and of course was drop dead gorgeous. Why would I want anything else?
