The 'i love you'

"So a couple of months later and Darren and I are still going strong." Olivia began.

"We started up our senior year at U of M and we had already done a couple of random musical parody's. And this is when we decided to do AVPM or at the time A Harry Potter Musical." Darren finished for her.

"Now we're not going to bore you with all the boring days of rehearsal so we will just give a brief overview." Said Olivia.

"So basically rehearsals consisted of a lot of late nights which also meant a lot of work. Which also means a lot of sneaking away to make out with each other" Darren blushed.

"That was basically all there was to rehearsal so we will just start out with opening day. Keep in mind that I played Hermione and Darren played Harry." Olivia explained.

Flashback

Tonight was opening night for AVPM. Everyone was so excited but also very nervous.

Before the musical started Olivia felt like she was going to throw up. Not because she had stage fright but because she had to make out with Joey on stage. First of all she didn't want to hurt Darren. But second of all she didn't want to hurt Lauren her best friend.

"Breath" Darren said coming up behind Olivia and wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

"I know I'm just nervous for" Olivia started but got cut off by her boyfriend.

"The kissing scene. Ya me too" Darren admitted.

"But it's just acting. Trust me I'm not gonna kiss him the way I kiss you." Olivia said softly while Darren stared at her in adoration.

"I love you Olivia" Darren said before he could stop himself.

Olivia didn't know what to say. She didn't think they were at that point in their relationship yet. She didn't know if she loved him. She liked the idea of falling in love with him. But she didn't know if she was. Before she could say anything she was pulled away to start the show.

"Break a leg" Darren called. He looked hurt.

The show went smoothly and the make out scenes were more funny then they were serious. Neither of the two felt anything when they kissed the other actors. Watching Darren perform made Olivia so proud. She knew he was going places.

When the stage turned black Olivia felt two strong arms around her waist.

"You did so good Liv" Darren said as he kissed her forehead.

"You did to Daredare" Olivia said as she kissed his lips.

"Look about what I said earlier you don't have to say it back. I understand if you don't feel-" Darren started but was cut off by Olivia's lips on his.

"Of course I love you, you goof" Olivia said as she pulled away from the kiss.

"Common let's go celebrate." Darren said as he grabbed her hand and led her to the Lang's house for a party.

Flashback Over

"Did you really have doubts that you loved me" Darren asked sounding hurt.

"No. I always knew I loved you I just didn't want to admit it cuz I didn't want to... get hurt" Olivia said quietly.

"Liv I-" Darren started.

"Darren don't try and apologize now. You haven't tried all year so I know you don't mean it" Olivia said sharply.
