The Next Now

Chapter 29: Pass

I'm so sorry for this late update
I hope April's P.o.v. would cheer you up😁
If it doesn't, I hope having Noah, or our sweetie Mars around would😚

April's P.O.V

"How can you prefer plain sweetened milk?" I wrinkle my Nose up at Noah.
That's disgusting

"I don't know.. I just do?" He shrugs

We're having lunch break together since Noah insisted. The restaurant closest to the set has nice food so that's where we're eating.

"You think his is disgusting? You prefer strawberry milk" Mars fake gags and Noah chuckles

And for some reason, our conversation is about milk

"Hey! What's so bad about strawberry milk?" Andrea asks

"It's disgusting and pink" Travis laughs and Andrea and I gasp.

"How dare you?" I almost shriek, and the boys laugh

"You're one to talk" Andrea rolls her eyes at Travis "You like banana milk" She gags and I cringe.

Geez.. and I thought there was nothing worse than Mars' chocolate milk obsession.
I don't think chocolate milk is bad, but taking it as much as he does, it's gotta be a problem.

"Yummy yummy banana milk" Travis licks his lips and we all just stare at him in disgust.

"I lost my appetite" Mars announces

Andrea, Noah, Travis and I laugh at that.

*****
"So, Noah.. What's up with you calling me H?" I ask, taking a seat beside him in his dressing room.

"What's up with me calling you H?" He asks back and I blink

"H for Hawkins? H for Henrietta? H for Harrison? What exactly?" I ask curiously

I know it's a small thing, but it's been in my mind for a while.

"Please?" I turn to him and he sits up and turns to face me too

"Well, can it be all of that or none?"

Once again, I blink

"That's the answer you're giving me, isn't it?" I ask in a nonchalant way

"Yup" He nods with a grin

Darn!

"Okay then, let's practice again" I get up

"Yeah okay" He says, getting up.
Just as his feet are on the ground, his phone rings.

That's really a bummer, but his ringtone makes me feel like dancing a little..

RITMO

He picks it up and looks at the Caller ID.

"Sorry.. I have to take this" He tells me, but before I can get a word in, he has the phone to his ear, and his back towards me.

Lucky me!

No, really... Did I say his back?
I meant his beautiful beautiful deliciously, well sculptured, gorgeously fit back.

You know? 'Cause I'd be lying if I didn't say so

"April?" Noah calls and I immediately snap out of my daze, daydream, whatever you call it.

"Yup?" I ask, wiping my mouth in case of any drool.
What? Who says you can't drool while standing?

"Well, I have to go now. Something important came up" He says, with a grim expression
