Sky full of Stars

          I wiped my brow before throwing my hair into a bun. Rehearsals today were so intense. I waved at everyone before going to the restroom and swiping deodorant under my arm. I'm going to smell so bad, and I don't want Cassius to smell it. Thinking about him immediately made me blush. I keep thinking about what his grandpa asked. My reflection had red cheeks. I smacked my cheeks lightly then walked outside. The weather was warming up and it makes me feel happy. I hummed a little bit as I walked to Cassius' car.

        "Okay, okay! I'll ask her. Don't blame me if she says no." I looked at him curiously then threw my bag in the backseat before sliding in. He hung up his phone then looked at me.
     "Hello there my resident thespian." I couldn't help but laugh at him. He grinned at my laughter. God, why is his dimpled, straight toothed smile so attractive? I looked into his multicolored eyes and couldn't help the smile that crossed my cheeks. He's so attractive.
"What're you trying to butter me up for?" His smile faltered a little bit.
"I need a favor. I'll pay you back in unlimited show tunes and I won't tease you about your nipple piercings that I still can't believe you have and I'll do whatever you want." I quirked a brow.

         "Anything I want? So what about show tune karaoke?" He dramatically rolled his eyes.
        "I guess I'll even do that. As long as it happens at home." I smiled at him. I'd pay a million and one bucks to listen to him sing.
        "You've got yourself a deal partner," I said in the cheesiest Texan accent.
         "Speaking of Partners," he mumbled. "My family goes on a trip every spring break to Texas to go to the state fair and ride all the tall rollercoasters. I mean you don't have to go if you don't want to, but Drew and dad called asking if you'd want to go."  I crossed my arms over my chest. I've never been to Texas but I've heard legends of the heat.

             "Um." It was all I said. I'm nervous to go to a place that's like it's own country.
            "Just think about it." I nodded. He began driving home.
           "Can you be like my tour guide? Like show me around and everything?" He grinned.
         "Does that mean you're considering this?" It was my turn to dramatically roll my eyes.
          "I'm only in it for the show tunes and karaoke." I smiled at him so he knew I was joking. He pulled into the parking garage and then we got out. I smell like a literal rats ass.

         "I'm sorry I'm so sweaty and gross smelling." I opened the door and he turned on the lights.
       "I'm kinda used to it by now." My blush deepened. I almost passed out when he said that.
      "I mean it's only because I pick you up everyday. It's not like you smell bad or anything it's just because I...pick you up...every evening," he trailed off. My face was still burning.
       "I'm gonna take a shower." I went into the bathroom and closed the door. I turned on the water and started to strip while I waited for the water to heat up. I hummed as I took my bra off and threw it in my dirty clothes bin.

         I looked at the mole on my rib cage before poking it. Steam percolated to the ceiling as Satan's asshole opened up and fire came from the shower head. I stepped into he shower and sighed as the heat hit my back. I let my hair down and lathered that mug up with some shampoo. I let the water rush over me as I began washing myself. I'm excited for karaoke. I made sure to wash behind my ears and in between my boobs before putting conditioner in my hair. I looked at my legs. Should I shave? I bit my lip as I contemplated it. Nah. It can wait until later.

          I braided my hair in two braids then stepped out of the shower. I wrapped a towel around me then walked to my room. I found a nice little pair of lace panties and put them on before pulling on some leggings and a long sleeved crop top. I left my room again and saw Cassius sitting on the couch. I sighed then sat next to him.
         "Hi there." He looked over at me.
         "Hello. Are you ready for the karaoke battle of your life?" I grinned at him.
       "Let's go." He handed me the remote and I smirked as I found the perfect song for him.
