Hide It

Jasmine's POV

Waking up the next morning still engulfed in Pip's arms had made me so happy. Her eyes slowly opened and I saw her smile when she saw me.

"How long have you been awake?" She mumbled.

"Not long. Just long enough to admire you while you slept for a bit." I giggled. She shook her head and pulled me closer to her, which I thought was impossible since we were already close. I rolled myself over so I could try and get out of bed, but Pippa grabbed me by my waist and pulled me back to her.

"We need to get up!" I laughed.

"Just a few more minutes." She mumbled. I smiled and grabbed my phone. I had a few messages from everyone asking if I was alright, Pippa had to have the same thing on her phone. I opened the camera and smiled at the sight behind me. Pippa had fallen back asleep, but her hair was all over her face. I snapped a picture and smiled to myself. After a while I decided to shift again and she woke up again. "Jasmine... Please just stay in bed longer." She groaned.

"But we need to get up! It's noon." I laughed. She groaned and sat up in bed. "Maybe you should check your phone. Let people know you're alive." I said while sending out a text to everyone.

"Right." She mumbled while grabbing her phone. I watched her struggle for a bit to read before I took her phone from her to text for her. She had so many problems in the morning without her glasses. I couldn't do much without mine, but I had my glasses on already. "Hey, I have a question..." She yawned.

"Yes, babe?" I asked while handing back her phone.

"I think I'm ready to come out to the world now..." She smiled. "That way we don't have to hide anything anymore. We can actually be who we are. Instead of only being cutesy when we think we're alone." She shrugged. I smiled and sat up in bed to kiss her cheek. "How do we do this?" She asked nervously.

"Well, I have this photo I took of us this morning..." I showed her the photo and she smiled. "I could post it and just not say anything. That way we don't have to come up with anything to explain ourselves." I shrugged. She nodded and kissed my forehead. I went onto instagram and posted the picture, of course, with a little caption.

'My morning view is always beautiful next to this one.'

I tagged her in the photo and hit post. Almost immediately I was getting people liking it and commenting. I read some comments and saw it was mainly from fans with a bunch of question marks. I turned off the comments and heard Pippa come back from the bathroom.

"I posted it, but I turned off the comments so that way no one can say anything to us." I said while sitting up to wrap my arms around her neck.

"I'll post. A picture soon after I figure out how to navigate the world blind." She laughed. I rolled my eyes at her remark and kissed her lightly. God, I was so in love with her.

When we got to the theatre, everyone had congratulated us and hugged us for coming out today. I felt so much better, and I hoped Pip did too. I had been ready for a few days, but I didn't want to rush Pip with anything. Tommy had warned us saying that we were going to have camera crews in here to film the teaser trailer, then some people who were going to be working with us for a documentary. I smiled at the thoughts of everything being done today and looked at Pip.

"So everyone, just act like they aren't there. Go about your daily routines and just ignore the cameras." He smiled. "And you two, congrats." He smiled at Pip and I. I was grateful he was accepting of it all finally. Hopefully they wouldn't be in the way. I hated when people got in the way and there was always something that went wrong when they did. Pippa walked over to Lin and they looked very deep into their conversation so I decided to go over to Renee.

"I saw your post! I'm so happy for you guys!" She smiled at me.

"Thanks. It was Pip's idea. Even if you can't really see her in the photo." I shrugged. We talked for a while, but I kept my eye on Lin and Pippa. He eventually hugged her and slipped something in her hand. Now I wondered what they were doing... It made me really suspicious, but I trusted her... Maybe it was just a cough drop or something. I didn't know...

"Are you excited for the camera crews tonight?" Renee asked me, dragging me from my thoughts.

"Yeah, I just hope they don't get in our way." I sighed. "Remember when we rehearsed at the Public and they got in the way?" I frowned. She nodded and shuttered at the memory. We had messed that show up bad because of them. But at least it hadn't harmed any of our chances with being on Broadway. Pippa showed up a little while later, but I didn't see anything in her hands anymore.... I decided to let it go since I didn't want to fight with her today. It really couldn't have been anything to worry about anyway.
