Wow.

Laura looks into my eyes and I don't know what she feels but all I feel is love. Now is the part where we lean in and I am supposed to kiss her.

That can't be hard. She looks so perfect right now.

I lean in slightly, as she leans closer. I can hardly breathe, just knowing how close she is. I feel something brush my lips, so I lean closer to kiss her, but wait.

That's not her lips. I know what her lips are like.

I pull back and look at her. I have a lipstick stain on my cheek.

Well we just did that.

We missed each other's lips.

Laura and I burst out into laughter as soon as we both realize our fail to kiss. The crew settles us down and I become serious again. Okay. This is it.

We lean in again, slower. I feel her lips brush against mine and I wrap an arm around her waist, awkwardly and put the other hand on her cheek.

By now I've broken character but I don't care. It's a soft kiss, the perfect one for this shot, but again, I don't care.

I pull her closer to my body as I deepen the kiss. Yeah I love her and it's not like she doesn't know. I hold her small body close to mine and I don't wanna ever let her go.

I savor this moment. Last time I kissed her, I told her that I didn't care if it was the last. Now I do. I have to make sure she feels the way I feel about her.

I know she told me that she kinda likes me, but I have to know for sure that if we date, she won't break up with me.

I can't have this be my last kiss with her. Doing this makes me feel so happy, like I can do anything. I can't not feel this ever again.

She starts to pull away and I do too, needing a breath.

"Cut!" Yells one of the crew members.

Laura and I look up, then at each other, exchanging a face that tells we both forgot other people were in the room.

"That was too long but I think with the camera angles, we can make it work. Good job, back to wardrobe you go." A crew member tell us.

Her and I separate back to wardrobe.

By the end of the day, I feel the amount of tension between us since the kiss. I could look into her eyes forever but she couldn't look into mine. It was so awkward and because I drove her here, I'd have to drive her back.

Hopefully I could fix this in the car ride back because I don't want to not talk to her. I need to make sure we stay close.

After she get out of her "dressing room" I walk her to my car and open the door for her. She gives me a small, nervous smile as a thanks.

I walk to the drivers side and get in, putting on my seatbelt and starting up the car.

"Can you put on the radio?" She asks.

I agree. We sing along to more recent, popular songs. Gosh her voice. It's breathtaking. "Quit" by Cashmere Cat and Ariana Grande comes on and I listen to Ariana sing, as Laur sings along. I don't think I've ever heard anything so soothing in my life.

By the time this song is over and two more play, we have arrived at Laura's house. I don't want her to leave yet but she opens her door.

"Wait!" I yell. She spins around, catching the door, as she had pushed it to close not a second earlier.

"What?" she asked.

"Can we talk?" I ask her, hoping she would say yes.

"Ummm. I guess, do you wanna come in?"

"Yeah.". I lock my car and head into her house, right behind her and I take off my shoes, something I consider a common courtesy.

We take a seat on her couch and though I don't live here, it feels more like home than anywhere I've ever been.

Well fuck. After this she'll be sending me out, and my home isn't gonna feel like home.
