I'll Be There, Siempre ~ Lippa

Chapter 4 - I'm here, It's okay.

*The next day*

Pippa

I woke up the next day on the couch once again with Lin. My head rested on his chest. When I sat myself up, Lin got up and kissed me. He kissed me!

"Good morning, Pip." He said.

"Good morning."

I get up to get changed and I find a pretty white long sleeve top, and some black jeans. I brush my hair, and walk into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I head out, and grab my bag, ready to leave.

I arrive at rehearsals and see everyone turning around.

''You got me helpless!'' I sing and laugh as I walk in.

''Look into LIN'S eyes and the sky's the limit!'' they sing back to me.

Oh, shit. Well this will be a fun day.

''Haha, very funny.'' I reply, rolling my eyes.

As everyone gets ready in their dressing rooms, I peak into Lin's really quickly.

''Psst.'' I knock quietly, but loud enough for him to notice.

''Come in-''

I walk in quickly, not even in my outfit yet, and he looks at me shocked.

''Pippa, hi! Why aren't you dressed yet? We start in 5 minutes!''

I go up to him and kiss him passionately and he pulls me even closer.

I break the kiss (after what seems like ages) and say ''Because I had to do that, okay bye!'' I say running out of his dressing room to mine. As I do, I hear a faint sound of laughter, definitely coming from Lin.

I walk into my dressing room, and Jas and Nae are looking at me.

"Morning Pip!" They say in unison.

"Morning!" I say in return.

I put on my costume, which has like a million layers of clothing beneath, and I put up my hair. Today is dress rehearsal, so we have to be in full costume. I feel like I'm going to die of heat stroke, but I'm overreacting. Renee helps with my mic like the professional she is.

"Ouch!" I wince as Renee pulls a few stands of my hair.

"Oops, sorry Pip!" Renee says apologetically. 

"It's fine, thanks Nae!" I say as I finish up a few details of my hair and put on my makeup.

As we are all finished getting ready, the girls walk out and go to stage, me following behind.  But someone pulls me back in the room.

''Lin?''

I don't have time to speak until he kisses me back (probably getting me back from before), nearly pushing me to the door, when I stop kissing him. ''C'mon, we have to go on stage. You'll get your moment during 'helpless'.''

He smiles and walks out as I follow behind him. I feel like my corset is a bit tight, but I can't fix it because I have to go on. I'll just have to suck it up, I guess. Leslie is watching us closely, and very, very suspiciously, as if we did something scandalous. 

''Ohhh! I do I do I do I do-'' Lin brushes past me and touches my waist secretively and I startle and stutter on my lyrics. ''Oohh.. I do...'' I sing (if you call that singing) and blush as I'm trying to process what he just did.

The music continues. Oh god.

I look at everyone, slightly shocked.

The actors look at me and mouth the words, whilst I'm still thinking about an inappropriate (at least for rehearsals, on STAGE) touch, which I loved the feeling of, that had happened 1 minute ago.
