Work was always exhausting after visiting my parents. I just felt emotionally worn out. Though I had to work to get my money.

I couldn't really complain, it wasn't too much hard work. My boss just had me do some dusting here and there and then i was free for the rest of the evening.

During the dusting I couldn't stop thinking about how Tord went to kiss me just earlier. I was a fool for stopping him but I meant what I said, I didn't forgive him yet. I needed just a bit more time. Tord has done a lot to try and redeem himself and it's working.

It's funny, not long ago I was all over the idea of getting with Tord. I was obsessed with the idea in fact. Now I was hesitating to get back with him for obvious reasons. Some may say "oh you're just being pathetic and hurting the one who loves you blah blah" but seriously if they were put in my situation, they would understand. The embarrassment, the sadness it was too much.

I watched as Tord walked to centre stage talking to his choreographer. I must've stopped as I heard my name being called and saw my boss telling me to quit slacking. When I looked back to Tord, he had an amused smile on his face and was looking right back at me. I just gave him a sheepish smile and got back to work.

I instantly started to relax as his sweet voice echoed around the auditorium.

I looked up now and again to watch and admire the way he moved around the stage when it was his cue. He caught me looking a couple of times and just smiled carrying on like the professional he is.

I hummed along to his singing seeing as how I knew the songs to the show. It was pretty peaceful all in all. In no time I was finished, coincidentally Tord had a 5 minute break as well. So I walked up to the stage as he gestured me over.

"Hey you." He smiled as I approached. He sat down and I leaned against the stage.

"Hey. Great practice." I commented.

"Thanks, I saw your cheeky glances. Couldn't keep your eyes off this beauty eh?" He said smugly and I shook my head chuckling a bit.

"You are so full of yourself but you're a star so it's okay. I wouldn't expect any less."

"Hey!"

I just laughed.

We stayed silent for a few moments enjoying each others company before Tord was called back to work. "I guess I'll see you later. Dinner tonight?"

I nodded and quickly leaned up to peck his cheek "laters." With that I quickly walked away without looking to see his expression but I'm sure it was one of shock.

He deserves a peck at least.
