His Beauty Her Beast

Reunion

It's been a long time since they have been able to be with one another. And Sierra misses Ramin so much. She was always happy to see him when he was in shows like Les Mis or Anastasia. "I wish I can see you again." She said to herself as she looked out her apartment window. "It's just not the same without you here in New York." It's was a cold day in the big city and Sierra is just enjoying her time off from the stage. She's been doing some regular routines and doing some recording sessions. But on one day she gets a text from an old friend. She checked her phone and sees it's from Hadley Fraiser. "Oh, it's Hadley. I haven't heard from him since Phantom. I wonder what's up with him." She said to himself as she checking what her dear friend has texted.

"Hey, Sierra." he texted

"Hey! It's been a while. How have you been?" She replied to him

"Doing great. Have you heard from Ramin?" He replied back

"No. I haven't. I miss him. :(" She replied back

"Well, I'm sure he will come back to see you soon. After all, you two are truly inseparable." He encouraged her.

"Thanks, Hadley. We're really great to have a great friend like you." She replied back.

"No worries. So how about we go see a show tonight?" He replied back.

"Sure. I'd love to go see a show. What do you want to see?" She asked her friend

"How about Wicked?" Hadley suggested.

"Why not? Everybody loves Wicked."  She replied back. "Plus it gets me out of my apartment. :)"

"Great. I'll see you at the Gershwin." He replied.

"Great! See you then." She replied

"See ya." He replied

This really excited Sierra that she gets to go out and see a Broadway show with her dear friend. And it's Wicked. "This will be good for me. It's gets my mind off of Ramin and just enjoy a night out with Hadley." She spoke to herself. She then decided to get herself ready and pick out a perfect evening dress for the occasion and set out her makeup kit to look beautiful. "This is exactly what my family kept telling me. Don't let a man ruin your life no matter if they're your friend, boyfriend, fiancé or husband. True friends are always with you by your side." She said to herself and she starts getting ready for her evening at the theatre.

(At Ramin's place)

Ramin was just bored even though he has his sons and wife to keep her company. "Daddy, are you okay?" Hadley asked his Dad. "Yes, I'm alright. Daddy is just thinking." He tells his son "What are you thinking about?" Hadley asked again. "His friend, Sierra." His brother, Jaiden answer. "Dad misses his best friend. They were very close like Dad is with us." Jaiden added. "Is it true?" Jaiden then asked his son. "I do miss Sierra, boys. She's a very fun person to hang out with." Ramin answered to his sons. "Well, why don't you go asked her out?" Jaiden suggested. "Guys, I can't do that behind your mother. She'll think I have an affair behind her back and it will break her heart." Ramin tells his sons. "What's an affair?" Hadley asked. "An affair is when one person who is either married or dating is seeing another person behind the special person's back. A lot of people get into trouble because it's breaking a trust you started having in the beginning." Ramin answered. "For example, if Dad was seeing Ms. Boggess behind Mom's back, then he will not only break her heart but her trust." Jaiden made it simple for Hadley. "Then why not just hang out with her?" Hadley suggested. That brighten his mood. "That's a better idea. But what can we do?" Ramin asked himself. Until he thought of something, his cell phone buzzed. "Jaiden, can you please hand me my phone?" He asked his son. Jaiden hands his Dad his cell phone and Ramin looks at it. "It's a text from my other friend, Hadley Fraiser." He says and looks at his text.

"Hey, Ramin." Hadley texted.

"What's up, Hadley?" Ramin asked his friend

"Well, I was wondering. Are you interested in seeing Wicked the musical?" Hadley replied.

"Sure. But I need someone to watch my sons." Ramin reminded his friend.

"I'll get someone to watch the boys." Hadley assured his friend.

"Great. Thanks, Hadley. Anyone else coming?" Ramin asked.

"You'll have to see when you get to the Gershwin Theatre." Hadley replied

"Then I'll see you at the Gershwin." Ramin said.

"See you then, buddy. :)" Hadley replied

(Later that night)

Ramin is all washed and dressed up in nice polo shirt and black formal pants. "Now, remember, boys. Whoever is watching over you two, you must be on your best behavior. You listen to what he or she says. Understand?" Ramin reminded the boys. "Don't worry, Dad. We'll be good." Jaiden assured his Dad. "Good." Ramin said. And like on cue, there was a knock on the door. "And that must be your babysitter." He added. He goes to the door and sees who it is. He looked through the peephole and see it was Samantha Barks. "Wow!" He exclaimed as he opened the door. "Samantha, hi!" He greeted his Les Mis co-star. "Hi, Ramin! It's great to see you again." She said as they hugged. "My, you really look great, Samantha." Ramin complimented his friend. "So, you don't mind watching my sons tonight?" He asked. "Not at all. Hadley asked me cause apparently, I was the first one on his mind. But when I heard it was your sons, I said, 'I'd be happy to watch Ramin's sons.' And so here I am." Samantha said. "Well, thank you a lot. I owe you one for this." Ramin said. "You don't have to Ramin. Just have a good time at Wicked." She said. Ramin introduce his sons to Samantha and they got along quite well and then Samantha escorted Ramin out of his home and he left to go to the Gershwin.

(At the Gershwin)

Sierra was outside of the theatre ready for Hadley to show up. She is so excited that she gets to see her dear friend again. Just as she was still waiting outside, she notices someone in particular that caught her eye. Dark brown hair, shaven face, the dark brown eyes and a well worked out body. She notice who he is. "Ramin." she said quietly so he doesn't hear her. But it's a if faith has brought them back together. He sees her and walks up to her with longing in his eyes. "Sierra." He greeted her. "Did you know that I was here?" She asked him. He shook his head in response. "Hadley told me that we're seeing Wicked tonight and to meet him outside of the entrance of the Gershwin." He responded. "He must have set us up together." She said. They just look at each other as if time has pass so fast that it's like old times. "How are you, Sierra?" Ramin asked his friend. "I've been good. But in all honesty, I've missed having you around, Ramin." She answered. "As do I, Sierra. I missed you too." Ramin said to her. That put a smile on her face that her best friend missed her as much as she missed him. "Listen, Sierra. Since we have time till the show starts, I wanted to ask you this. Would you like to have dinner with me?" Ramin asked. She was in shocked that Ramin asked her on a date. "Ramin, I'm not too sure. What about your wife? What will she think?" Sierra asked him. "It's not a dinner date. It's just dinner. Like we did old times before." He assured her. "Okay then. I would love to have dinner with you one night." She accepted. That put a smile on his face as they waited for their friend. And like instinct, they grabbed each other's hand and never let go afterwards. Sierra didn't want Ramin to let go of her hand and Ramin wanted the same from her.
