Robbie POV
I walked up to Cat's door. I knocked. In an instant, the door flung open. There was this little boy, maybe 10 or 11. He was the same height as Cat; or maybe a little shorter.
"Hi..." I said. He just stared at me. "Is Cat home?" I asked the kid.
He shouted."CATABABABABABA!"
Cat ran to the door.
"Robbie! Let's go to my room and practice!" She grabbed my hand and led me up the stairs. Cat brainstormed with me on the way up. "Alright, so I was thinking...We should do a scene of 2 friends...And they both like each other or something, and then they confess their feelings and then kiss. Something like that."
Gheesh. Sounds a lot like our situation. Cat may not like me, but I definitely like her.
We reached her room and planted ourselves on the bed.
"That sounds great, Cat." I said.
She grabbed our Hollywood Arts notebook. I stared at her while she was jotting something down.
Cat looked up. "Is something wrong Robbie? You're staring at me funny."
"Oh no, I just..nothing."
"Okay…Where's Rex?"
"He's at home. He's on a…timeout."
Our eyes met. She smiled at me. I stared at her lips.
They looked soft. Very soft. She looked so perfect. Her hair was flowing flawlessly down her back, her eyes had twinked, and her smile...Ohhh her smile...Come on Robbie. Stop it. She's only a friend, for now, at least.
Cat bit her lip. Beck had always told me when a girl bites her lip, she wants you to kiss her. I wanted to lean in, more than anything, but something was holding me back. I snapped back into reality and broke the silence, "So, anyways…Back to work."
"Right...Back to work..."
Later in the day...
"Wow! We're almost done!" Cat exclaimed.
"I know. Do you want to act out the scene this time?" I questioned.
"Sure! I'm so excited to see how it turns out!" Cat replied.
"Let's start at the middle of page 3."
"Kay kay!"
I skimmed through the script.
At Rose's house doing an assignment...Nooo
Take a break and go outside...Nooo
Ahhh. Found it.
I started the script."Rose? Are you cold? I can see goose bumps on your arms."
"Oh yeah, I am a little cold."
"Then let's go back outside."
"NOOO!"
"Why not, Rose?"
"I like it here."
"If you're cold..." I placed my jacket over her, and put my arm around her. "Here."
Rose's mouth curved at the end. "Thanks Daniel."
We sat like this for a while. It felt like heaven. She had her head on my shoulder. It was almost night. How romantic...
"This is nice." I told her.
"I know."
Cat, errrr, Rose, looked at me with the most dazzling expression.
I looked down at my script.
Look at each other passionately. Daniel leans in. Kiss.
I looked at Cat, no, Rose. I looked at Rose. I slowly leaned in to her lips. Her eyes automatically closed. Then, our lips met. I kissed her. A smile crept upon my face. She smiled back. I could tell. I slowly pulled back from her lips.
"I love you." She told me.
"I've always loved you, Rose. Secretly."
