Audrey's POV

I met Steven at his jeep, then hopped in and asked him if I could play a song, or 5.

"Uhhh, suuure...I'm scared." He smiled as he pulled out of the parking lot. I giggled, kind of like a little girl, and put on the song If You Don't Know by 5 Seconds Of Summer.

I loved that song with a burning passion, it spoke to me. Stupid, I know, but it's true. I internally laughed at the feelings welling up inside of me because of one stupid song, but I decided to actually talk to Steven instead of sitting in slightly awkward silence. 

"How far away is your house exactly?" 

"It only seems far away because you've never been to my house." He said, looking over at me with bright eyes and a small, comforting smile.

'I guess there's a first time for everything." I said, and in less than no time we were at Steven's house. When we got out of the car I walked towards him, then grabbed his hand and walked behind him. This is only friendly hand holding right? I mean why wouldn't it be? It's not like our fingers are interlocked, he doesn't like me anyway. We just met, so why do I like him? He opened the door and after I was in I closed it behind me. Steven's mom saw Steven when he walked in, he let go of my hand as we started towards the kitchen.

"Hello Steven, how was school." But when we walked into the kitchen she saw me. "Oh, you brought a friend home."  She said it in that suggested mom sort of way like "is she really a friend?" and gestured towards me. 

"Well, Mom this is Audrey, Audrey my mom." I smiled at her and shook her hand like any person with manners would.

"Hi, I'm Audrey, I have theatre with Steven. It's nice to meet you Mrs. Ze." I said kindly, trying to act like a girl would would be good for Steven, if you understand what I'm getting at.

"Oh please, call me Kathleen. It's nice to meet you too, any friend of Steven's is a friend of mine." Kathleen said nicely with a warm smile and a slight Canadian accent seeping into her voice.

"We're going upstairs to go work on something for theatre." Steven said as he motioned for me to follow him as we left the room. 

"Have fun Ze, is Audrey staying for dinner?" She said as we were walking upstairs.

"Yes." He decided for me before I even got time to say anything. Then he led me to his room, which was surprisingly clean for a guy.

"I thought your name was Steven." I said as he shut the door behind me, slightly confused by the strange, but adorable nickname.

"Ze's just a nickname." He said then flopped on his bed

"Well it's a very cute nickname." For a very cute boy, I added in my head and smiled at him as he slowly sat up and gave me a curious glance.

"So, you want to get started on this thing?" He said hopping off his bed and getting his script out of is bag. I grabbed my drama folder out of my tidy backpack.  

"Sure, lets start now." I said pulling the script out of the folder. We got into our places and we started, then we got to my favorite part we hadn't quite practiced yet. He put his hands on my hips; just as it said in the script, and started swaying, also in the script

"So Audrey, happy anniversary." he said down to me, being short has it's advantages

"I love you Ze." I said and kissed him, I did it before I really thought about it, but it wasn't a fake kiss like the script said, it was a real one. He pulled away his face was blank, almost like he way thinking it over, but I jumped to conclusions and panicked.  

"I'm sorry, I just thou-" I was cut off by his lips smashing against mine. It was a relief, and I could tell he was relived when I kissed back. When we both pulled away I rested my head on his chest, and we just swayed, until I broke the silence.

"I want a cute nickname for you, because everyone calls you Steven. I wanna be original, ya know?" 

"You can call me whatever you want, as long as I can call you mine." I looked up and smiled at his cheesy comment

"Of course...it's funny that we just met today and we both fell in love." I said then rested my head on his chest again, I shouldn't have said that, this isn't love.

"I wouldn't go as far as love, but it's the start of something." He said and gave me a comforting smile. I muttered a small sorry as I pulled away from his embrace. 

"Don't be, at least I know that when I say I love you I won't have to worry about you not saying it back" I laughed a little as I looked at his shirt which caused me to laugh a bit more.

"Ze, I may or may not have gotten makeup all over your shirt." I said between my laughing.

He looked at it and shrugged. "You should probably take it off...Before you get more on my shirt." I laughed at his little joke. I pulled out my makeup wipes from my bag; but I don't know why I keep them in there, I wouldn't be caught dead at school without make up on. I went into the bathroom and shut the door, I took all my make up off and took my jacket off. I was a bit uncomfortable, since I've never been around anyone but maybe my parents and Drew without make up on. As I walked back into Steven's room he was sitting on his bed, doing whatever on his phone, I went over to my bag and put my jacket on top of it and pulled out a hair tie. As I pulled my heavy hair into a high ponytail I saw him smile out of the corner of my eye and when I turned to him he was still looking up and smiling at me.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" I asked, worried that I looked even worse than I thought without makeup on.

"No. I'm just, surprised that someone could look so cute, with and without makeup on." Steven said which made me shoot him a small smile. I walked over to him and sat on the edge of the bed next to him, I laid my head on his shoulder comfortable.

"Maybe we could actually get some work done soon?" I asked in a small voice.

Just then his mom called us down for dinner, and we ate spaghetti until I couldn't eat anymore, it was the best home cooked meal I'd had in a while.  Then we went back to Ze's room, practiced some more, and then we went back  downstairs and watched TV until I got tired and called my mom to tell her I was staying at a friends house. We went up to Ze's room around 9pm and I asked for one of his shirts and a pair of sweat pants. I slept in them since I had nothing else. I crawled into Ze's bed and I didn't care if we slept in the same bed; I had share a bed with my little sister for 5 years. I fell asleep with my back turned to him, we were facing different ways so that there was no way we could end up cuddling.
