Anne POV:
I wake up in Phillip's bedroom, in his house. Naked, I should add- and so is Phil.
My head hurts badly, so I gently tap Phillip on his back, as he is lying on his front. 
"Hey, what happened last night?" I ask him.
"You know, we went out drinking with the circus friends, came home at about 12:30 and...had a little fun." He says, smirking at the last part- indicating why we were naked. But, oh.god, I don't laugh because I remember W.D not coming drinking last night, and him telling me I should be back at the circus tent by 1:00 am. It's 8:30 right now!
"Oh gosh, Phillip, W.D's gonna freak!" I  say, my brother is not someone you want to come across when angry. And, unfortunately, I have come across him angrily many times before. Phillip turns around and pulls me into his arms, murmuring a "who cares?" into my hair, and for a few seconds I agree with him. I'm 22 now, I can stay in bed with my boyfriend late if I want to...but then, I picture W.D's angry face shouting at me, and I am back in reality.
"Did we drink the whole goddamn bar last night?" I ask, as my head pounds.
"I did, you didn't." Phillip states shortly. I pull myself out of Phillip's arms and kiss his back as I pull out of bed, and pull my dress and underwear on.
"I'm going now, see you in a bit." I say, walking out the room. But as a dry, morning voiced Phillip says back, "bye, love," I'm sure I won't see him till 8:30 this afternoon!
New York in the morning is lovely, everyone buzzing around! Of course, being black, people stare at me, and I hear a few, "That's Phillip Carlyle's girlfriend. Just look at her!" but I ignore them, as I have grown to do. After a few minutes, the circus comes into a view.
As soon as I put a foot inside the tent, W.D is up in my face.
"Where have you been, Anne?!" He shouts. Lettie and Charles Stratton (or better known as Tom Thumb) stare at us from across the room, and Lettie mouths "good luck" to me.
"I was with Phillip." I say shortly, dropping my bag onto the floor, and walk towards my bedroom.
"You promised you'd be back by 1:00!" He says, following me.
"I never promised." I say curtly, as I walk into my room and start collecting the makeup I need for tonight's show.
"Fine, you were with Phillip. What were you doing with this boyfriend of yours?" He asks. By this point I am exasperated, and say back; "None of your business, W.D." and walk away. My brother looks unto me disapprovingly.
Later today, at about 5:00 pm, Phillip walk through the tent door. He stumbles towards me, where I am sitting on the bench tying ropes in my red shorts and white cami tee. *This is the outfit she had in "Rewrite  the stars in the movie, which I loved!*
"Hey, baby." Phillip says, sitting down next to me and giving me a kiss. "How'd it go with W.D?" He asks me. I pull a sad face. Phillip chuckles loudly and says, "I knew it! God, I love W.D he really does make me laugh- your 22, not 12!"
Phillip's laugh is infectious, and soon I am laughing as well, because W.D is seems just so ridiculous- especially now, as he glares at us, laughing.
The rest of the day goes smoothly, with lots of kisses from Phillip and glares from W.D. And, at night, Phillip and I go to his house and have a little fun, missing out the drinking part.
