The thoughts of me

The Play

Ok so I decided to be part of the crew in my schools play and in a random spur of creativity I wrote this:

"C'mon Le'trell, we can't be late or Jenny will be furious!" I said as I started walking faster down the hall. Le'trell and I made it to the stage door and slipped through them. We attracted the others eyes as we tried to look nonchalant walking across the big stage to our friend. "It's about time you guys showed up." She said and walked over to us. I gave Jenny an apologetic smile, "Sorry Chickie, I needed to finish a test and Le'Trell had to call his mom." She nodded and sat on the stage, her legs dangling off the edge. I did the same and Trell sat in the floor in front of us.

After a little bit of conversing I felt a pair of eyes on me. Trell seemed to sense it too because he looked behind me and smirked. "Don't look know but looks like our lead has his eyes on you." Trell chuckled. I turned so I could see Aaron though the corner of my eye and sure enough; he was staring at me. I then turned my head to him with an eyebrow raised and a smile tugged at my lips. Pink dusted across his face as he looked away.

I chuckled and turn to my friends. They all were smiling and wiggling their eyebrows at me. "What? Maybe he zoned out, I do it all the time." I reasoned. They just hummed and shook their heads. Before I could do anything else the director came in and we all listened to what he had to say.

"Today we are going to work on how to interact with each other and rehearse our lines." He said. Everyone took their places, Jenny sat at the foot of the stage and Trell and I sat in the seats with the other crew people that decided to show up. The lights dimmed and the curtains remained closed. Aaron played Alex so he peeked through the black curtain, "Lights!" He called before disappearing trough the thick curtain again.

I watched as everyone went through their lines. I didn't hesitate to move up in my seat and rest my chin on my hands that were on the seats in front of me when my favorite part came up. Abby who played Monica looked at Aaron, "Alex?" He turned around and just they way he looked at her made my heart swell. What does he think of when he gets that look? I wondered. "Yes Monica?" He says softly walking slowly to her. "Do you love me?" She asks the floor. Aaron takes her hands in his and brings her close to him, "Of coarse."

Their lips almost connect before she pushes him away, "I love you, Alex, but it took me 30 minutes to get my lips just right." I clutch my chest with my left hands and raise my hand up and silently groan. Mr. H , the director, thankfully doesn't see me this time but the actors' smiles and slight chuckles don't go unnoticed by Trell and I. "Okay, 5 minutes for break." Mr. H says and disappears backstage. 

I stand and take a drink of water as Jen makes her way to us. "One of these days H is gonna see you and be mad." She warns. I scoff, "Please, I entertain the entertainers that aren't entertaining. I spice things up." "You got that right." Daniel says as he walks by. I laugh and Trell leans in to Jen and I, "Lead is walking this way." He says quickly.

Before I could process what he meant, Aaron was standing besides me. "Jesus Aaron, you can't just sneak up on me like that." I grumbled taking a small step away from him. "Oh sorry. I just wanted to see what's up." He said with a soft smile. Jen shot me a sly smile and Trell nudged me with his elbow. "Trell can you come with me to go get my book out of my locker? I forgot it." Jenny said.

I sent Trell a pleading look but he smiled and agreed. They hurriedly left the auditorium and left Aaron and I alone. "You probably want to go back to your friends." I say and stare at my shoes. "Nah, I will see them later. So, Y/n, do you like plays?" He asked sitting on the chair next to mine. I sit next to him, "Yeah, but I prefer musicals. How about you? Which do you like better?" Aaron took a  moment to think about it, "I don't really know." I nodded, "Solid answer. I appreciate that." I nodded and smiled.

Aaron smiled at his feet and then he suddenly froze, "Hey after rehearsals can you meet me in the green room I want to talk to you." He said almost nervously. I chuckled and saw my friends approaching us. "Yeah sure, I guess I will see you later then." I gave him a little wave and walked over to my friends.

"So did he tell you he wants to jump your bones yet?" Trell smirked. Jenny elbowed him in the ribs but still chuckled, "What did he say?" "We just talked, then he asked me to meet him in the green room after rehearsals." I mumbled the last part. Unfortunately for me Jenny has super hearing and heard me. "Excuse me? Repeat that again?" She smirked.

With an over dramatic sigh I told them that Aaron wanted to see me after rehearsals in the green room. "Oh snap someone is getting laid tonight!" Trell laughed. "Yeah, your dad." Jenny scoffed. I held in a laugh and shook my head, "I'm sure he just gonna ask me something about school." I shrugged. I hid the tint of disappointment with a shrug and tried to change the subject.

The rest of rehearsals were agonizingly boring seeing as crew didn't have much to do. When it was over I said goodbye to my friends and headed to the green room. My heart pounded in my chest, my breathing deepened, and my stomach knotted itself up. "Aaron?" I asked as I headed into the room. "Back dressing room!" His voice called.

I stuffed my clammy hands into my back pockets as I headed to the back room. "Aaron? Why are you in here?" I asked as I found him sitting on the loveseat. He patted the spot next to him and I sat down. "I, uh, wanted to tell you something. But I-I'm not sure how to say it." I patted his leg, "I know we aren't super close, but you can tell me anything." I said softly.

"That's just the thing though, we aren't close. But I want to be. I want to tell you anything and everything. All so I could talk to you. I like you Y/N." Aaron rushed out his words in one breath. I sat there in shock. "You like me?" Aaron took my hands in his, "How could I not?" His face was incredibly close to mine. 'Holy shit' I thought.

"I really wanna kiss you." He said with a chuckle. "Then do it." I sighed. Aaron smiled and met his lips to mine. His soft lips tasted like coffee and mint and felt warm against mine. "Holy shit you're a good kisser." I smiled against his lips. "Yet you've still got me beat." He chuckled connecting our lips again. His kiss wasn't like the last one, this one was a bit more needy yet still sweet. Aaron's hand squeezed my hip slightly while his other one got tangled in my hair. My hands where on the back of his neck and pulled him closer. Aaron nipped my bottom lip lightly and I knew what he was asking. I let him slip his tongue past my lips, a small groan coming from his throat. Aaron's hand slid down my back and pulled my leg across his lap so he could be closer to me.

I stopped him before things could go any further, "Woah there Cowboy." I chuckled. Aaron chuckled too and kissed my forehead. "We should go see a movie this weekend." He said. "Like on a date?" I asked, pushing his tousled hair back. "Yes, like a date. You are my girlfriend now, right?" He said. "Yes I am. Tex me later? You do still have my number right?" Aaron nodded and helped me stand up. "Do you have a ride home?" He asked as we headed out to he parking lot. I jingled my keys, "Walk me to my car?" Aaron nodded and intertwined his fingers with mine.
