"Babe, I have rehearsals in a few minutes. I have to go now. Sorry." I say, pulling away from her lips.

"Aw, really?" She asks.

"Yeah, sorry." I peck her on the lips. "But, I'll definitely see you later for our date." I smile at the word.

"Can't wait for it." She beams back. I squeeze her hands, which I was still holding, and head out of the costume closet.

I arrive in studio-a with a couple more minutes to spare. I breath a sigh of relief, glad that I'm not late. Though, if I was, what I was doing would have been worth it anyway.

I head over to Noah, who is stretching by himself, and the two of us start talking. He's half way through telling me about his recent date with my sibling, James, again, when Finn interrupts us.

"Hey Piper, can I ask you something." He rests his hands on my shoulders.

"Sure." I say, showing him off, already knowing what he's going to ask.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime?"

"No" I respond immediately. I go back to my stretching, not paying him any more attention

"But-"

"No"

"But what-"

"I said no!" I repeat, growing irritated, like usual. He does this at practically every rehearsal. He just can't take a hint!

"Why though?!" He asks. This actually peaks my interest. This is a first. I turn towards him.

"Because I don't like you like that Finn. Like I've told you a million times already!"

"But, can't you just give me a chance? Maybe I could change your mind?"

I actually roll my eyes at that sentence. Being a lesbian, I've had guys say that to me way too many times to count. Not that Finn knows I am one though. But, he just won't leave me alone!

I go to reject him once again, when Noah cuts in across from me.

"Dude, she already said no! Several times! Take the hint and quit harassing her!"

"What?! I'm not harassing her! I'm just-"

"Yes you are! You've continuously asked her out over the last few weeks despite her her telling you no. That's harassment! Now fuck off!"

Finn glares at him and doesn't say anything in response. He turns on his heel and storms back over to his friends.

"Phew. Thanks for that." I sigh.

"No problem. Someone needed to tell the creep off."

I nod at that.

"If he does it again, tell me, okay?" Noah says, resting a hand on my knee.

"I will, don't worry." I smile at how protective he is over me. They're really like an older brother.

"I just can't believe she rejected me again." I say to Kingston and Ozzy. We're now on break and most of the team is now in Shakes and Ladders.

"Been there." Ozzy sips on his drink. "You would not believe the amount of times I've been rejected by Richelle. It's so fucking annoying!"

"I know right?!"

"Like, you'd think that they'd be flattered that we're taking such an interest in them. But no, instead they don't appreciate us at all, and just kick us to the curb."

"Exactly! Plus, it's not as if anyone else is showing interest in them. Piper should be a bit more grateful that I want to date and take care of her and her anxiety!" I shout.

I take out my phone and go to her Instagram page. I find the picture that I saved and have been looking at on several occasions. It's a picture of her with her family at the beach, and she is in a bikini.

"Just look at her!" I point the phone to them. "She's so fucking hot and I'd do anything to hit that. But instead, she refuses and-"

A convers shoe suddenly comes up and kicks the phone out of my hand. It flies through the air and smacks into the wall! The screen is definitely smashed!

What the fuck?!

I sharply turn towards the culprit: Noah!

"Dude! What the..." I stop when I catch the look in his eyes. It is filled with flaming hatred, disgust and venom.

"You are a pathetic, disgusting, misogynistic prick!" He bites. He stomps out of the place, all eyes on him. But, he stops for a few moments, saying:

"If you ever go anywhere near Piper again, I will end you! Got it!

P͟i͟p͟e͟r͟

Everyone is studio-a is talking about something that apparently happened in Shakes and Ladders. I was looking for my girlfriend in another part of the studio, so I didn't see it. She actually didn't show however, which really hurt me.

Did I do something? I sure hope not!

My questions are answered when she storms into the room!

"Finn!" She screams. All eyes look over to her and then to the blonde-haired creep, who looks like he's about to piss himself.

"I was there in Shakes and Ladders! I heard everything you said, and just incase Noah didn't get the message across strong enough, I'd like to tell you myself!"

She gets right into his face. He gulps as she does so.

"She will never, never, like you back! You hear that?! So, you better quit why you're ahead! Or I swear." She grabs his shirt. "I will beat the shit out of you!"

S

he lets go of him, causing him to fall over, much to my satisfaction.

"And just to make it even more clear." She turns towards me. She runs over and her face is extremely close to mine. It's much different to how she looked at Finn though. While all I saw was hatred then, now I see adoration and love.

"Can I?" She asks. I eagerly nod my head. Both of us have been talking about coming out pretty soon, and it's not like we have exactly been hiding it well. (From what James has told me.) So I know this is definitely the time. Us Tordjmans have always had a flare for the dramatics after all.

She closes the gap between us. I kiss her back and wrap by arms around her head. I can hear our friends cheering in the background, somebody shouting: "finally". But all my attention is on her.

We kiss for a solid minute. When we pull away, the two of us turn towards Finn, who's jaw is almost on the ground, hand-in-hand.

"Finn, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend. I'm sure you remember Amy."
