I woke up and noticed that Daveed wasn't next to me, I frowned. Then, I heard, what I think was a bark? I went to the living room and saw Daveed.

"Morning, darlin'." He chuckled nervously.

"Hey, Daveed. Um, what was that sound I heard a few seconds ago?

"Oh, that sound was, this."

He moved away from in front of the box.

"Come here, girl." He said happily.

Out came a cute little shiba inu pup.

"Daveed! You got me a dog!"

"Yes I did, Princess."

"Why?"

"I wanted to cheer you up"

"Thank you so much!" I said while kissing his cheek.

"You're welcome, Princess."

"So, is she trained? Has all her vaccinations?"

"Yes and yes." He smiled.

"Daveed?"

"Yes sweetheart?"

"I love you, but we better get ready for rehearsals."

"You're right. I'll go home and get ready, and I'll meet you there, okay?"

"Okay. Be careful, love you."

"Love you more."

- during rehearsal-

"Okay everyone, one week until showtime, so all of you bring your A-game! And everyone come in that day to do some quick practice before the show!" Lin shouted.

I already had my turn to rehearse my lines and parts. So, I just stayed in my dressing room, pacing around the room. Until Oak came in.

"Hey Ember."

"Oh hey, Oak."

"Just checking in on you. Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Just a bit nervous..........actually, a lot nervous, and as usual, my anxiety doesn't help me." I smiled nervously.

"You'll do great. I've seen you during rehearsal, and you're probably one of the best. You have so much potential, Ember. I just know it." He said, smiling.

I could tell he was sincere by the look in his eyes, and the tone of his voice.

"Thanks, Oak. You really helped me." I smiled.

"No problem." He said while pulling me into a hug.

"Hey, Oak. Can I talk to Ember, privately? " Daveed asked.

"Sure, man."

Oak exited the room, as Daveed closed the door.

"Princess, why was Oak hugging you?"

"Daveed, relax, Oak was just cheering me up."

"Why did you need cheering up?" He said, anger being evident in his voice.

"I was just nervous, performing in front of so many people."

"Why couldn't you come to me?"

"Are you jealous, Mr. Diggs?" I asked playfully.

"Answer the question." He said sternly.

"Because Oak just came inside my room and asked me if I was okay."

He stayed silent.

"Daveed, I love you, and only you. Nothing and nobody is going to change that. I love you, okay? Don't ever forget that. Promise me you won't."

"I promise, and I love you, too. I'm sorry, Princess, it's just that I'm afraid of losing you. I'm afraid that you'll leave me for someone better. You're perfect, a bit too perfect."

"Daveed, it doesn't get any better than you. I will never leave you." I smiled.

- after rehearsal -

"Hey Ember! Wait up!" Lin shouted, interrupting me from my walk home.

"Anything you need, Lin?" I smiled.

"Is there anything happening between you and Daveed?" He said, worry in his voice.

"Shit, he knows, stay calm, deny everything." I thought.

"No, what are you talking about?" I said, acting calm.

"I don't know, he just seems to hang with you a lot."

"Oh, that's nothing. He's just a really good friend to me." I smiled, covering up the hell that broke loose in my mind.

"Oh, okay, just asking." He smiled.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"You too."

I got home, being greeted by Daisy, I decided to call the little doggo Daisy.

"Hey girl!" I said happily.

"Bork, bork, bork!!!"

A/N: lmao idk why I added that part

I needed to tell Daveed about what happened, so I did.

Ember
Daveed, Lin asked me a question.

Daveed
What'd he ask you, darlin'?

Ember
He asked if there's anything going on between us.

Daveed
Well, what did you say?

Ember
I said that it's nothing, and we're just really good friends, and we left it at that. Daveed, I was really nervous, I thought he found out about us.

Daveed
Princess, don't worry, he didn't, did he? No, so we'll just be careful around everyone. Don't worry, darlin', it's going to be fine. I love you ♥

Ember
Okay, I believe you, I love you. Good night, sweetheart ♥

Daveed
Good night, darling.
