A/N

I checked the time. About 8 hours of sleep. Not bad.

I still felt a little horrible and groggy, but that's expected.

I sat up and noticed a dead asleep Thomas next to me. I wondered how much sleep he got. I felt bad. I just went straight to sleep and didn't help him last night.

I rubbed my eyes, got out of the bed and looked around. I didn't get the chance to fully look at the apartment last night. It was small. Cozy. It barely fits two people, but we'll manage. Plus I'm only staying if I get the part, right?

"G'morning princess." I looked over and smiled when I saw Thomas in the doorframe. He had that groggy morning voice that was honestly and truly very hot.

"Morning. Have a good sleep?"

"Decent. Still a little tired though. How about you? You were extremely tired last night."

I smiled. "Still a little groggy. I'm sorry I didn't help you with the bags last night. I feel bad. I was just so tired."

"I know and it's okay. No need to apologize. I love you." I smiled and nodded.

"Good. Now how about a kiss and some coffee?" He asked with a bright smile.

I laughed and leaned in. "Wait! No, I have morning breath."

He chucked and rolled his eyes playfully. "I don't care. Kiss me."

"No, not until I brush my teeth." I tried to move away but Thomas grabbed me and threw me back down to the bed.

"Thomas! Let me go!" I said with a laugh.

"No! Not until I get a kiss!"

I moved to get out off the bed a second time but this time Thomas grabbed me and instead pulled me straight into a kiss.

I pulled away from him and lightly hit him with a smile. "Thomas!"

"Okay, I'm good. You may proceed."

I rolled my eyes but smiled and proceeded to go brush my teeth.

"Y'know what I just realized?" Thomas asked while we were sitting on his couch watching Netflix. We were jet lagged and just wanted to rest for the next day or two.

I looked at him and shook my head. He smiled. "It's been 3 months of us meeting!"

I smiled wide. "Awh, how cute! Do you remember our first conversation?"

He nodded. "I do. I was really nervous."

"Me too. China constantly tells me I said that you were pretty but I don't remember saying it. But if I did, I wasn't wrong."

He chuckled. "I was so intimidated. All these big actors and Kenny Ortega of all directors, I really didn't want to mess things up. After that first conversation I had with you, I felt comfortable. I don't know, we'd just met but I felt like we could just connect. I don't know, it's weird."

"Do you remember that staring contest we had? The one where we both cried?" I laughed just thinking about it.

Thomas cracked a big smile. "I do. That was really funny."

"That staring contest made me realize that I could fall for you. And it wasn't until a few days later that I realized I had actually fallen for you."

"I fell for you really early on. Within a few days of knowing us each other I'm sure."

I thought back. "I remember being really scared of falling for you. I'm sure I talked to Sofia about it but after my other relationship, I was so scared because being in love means being vulnerable, but i'm so happy, and I feel safe with you. I love you."

He smiled and leaned in to kiss me. "I love you too."

We spent all day on the couch watching television because we were jet lagged and exhausted. I'm not normally lazy, but we ordered Postmates and ate Chinese food for dinner. It was a nice way to spend the day together.

"Don't forget the audition," Thomas reminded. "I think it's best that we send in the tape as soon as possible."

Instantly I got a little nervous but I nodded. I've been through a lot of auditions, but I still always get nervous. Thomas saw the nervousness and anxiety on my face and he grabbed and kissed my hand. "Don't worry you're gonna be great. Don't stress."

I nodded and smiled. I rested my head on his shoulder as he put an arm around me. At this moment I thought, this is right where I belong.
