Pippa's POV

We fill up 2 suitcases and a bag. After Lin talks to Steven, Steven leaves and says he'll be back after we leave. "Hey Pippa, you okay?" "Yeah. Just thinking." "Thoughts can be dangerous." "My friend Brittain used to say something like that." "Great Comet?" "Yeah! She played Sonya." "Cool. How about we get going before that stupid excuse of a man shows up?" Once he says this I hold back a smile, but it doesn't work. "Why are you smiling?" Lin says with a smirk playing on his lips. "Can I not smile, Lin-Manuel?" He scrunches his nose up at me calling him by his whole name. "Don't do that." "Do what, Lin-Manuel?" "That! Calling me Lin-Manuel! I'm pretty sure my name is Lin!" "No! Your name is Lin-Manuel Miranda, but you go by Lin." At this I put my hands on my hips. He starts to mimic my position. "Don't be so smart Phillipa. The smartass attitude won't get you anywhere sweetheart." He pokes me on the nose with a "boop", grabs the bags, and walks toward the door. I grab Sebastian's coat and slip it on him. Then, I grab my keys and lock the door before we leave.

Once we are in the hallway I spot Lin waiting at the elevator. When we reach him the doors open and we all get on. In the silence I catch Lin watching me out the corner of my eye. "Lin, you're staring." I say and turn toward him. I notice how his face starts to heat up. "Ha, can't help it I guess. Wait! I mean...fuck." He says while rubbing the back of his neck. I laugh at his embarrassment while his faces heats up more. "Stop laughing at me." He says. "Okay." "I don't like simple answers, Pippa." He says with a smirk as he takes a step closer to me. "Then what should I say?" "A better answer than "Okay"." "Fine. Lin, sweet, sweet Linny, I'm so sorry for laughing at your embarrassment. Good?" "Perfect. Quick question, ticklish?" "What!?" "Damn, Pips are you ticklish?" "Maybe." At this he smirks and walks out the doors. "You know what that was about Sebby?" I ask the little boy in my arms. He shakes his head and says, "Nope! Daddy is crazy!" "You're telling me! Come on let's go." We walk off the elevator. God I wish I knew why he asked that.

Remember that revenge? Nope! Ah it's all good. *walks away singing, "Just you wait!"*
