It rains heavily but not outside, everyone left except for Mirabelle and
William.
She has them go step by step.
\\MIRRABELLE\\
One, Two.
She instructs him light as he gets the hang of it fast. She is twirl around at points and lowered down at the end. They stand up right again as they breath somewhat heavily. William walks and stands under the frame of the open door showing the rain; Mirabelle is facing away taking her hair down.
\\MIRRABELLE\\
Well I should be going home, before the weather worsens.
She hears no answer. She turns around to find William has disappeared; she furrows her brows.
\\MIRRABELLE\\
Will?
She walks forth and under the doorframe, only to find William out in the rain.
\\MIRABELLE (with wide eyes)\\
Are you crazy?!
William turns around with a soon bright smile. Then he he gets in a bow but with his hand out.
\\WILLIAM\\
May I have this dance?
Mirabelle can only smile as she hesitates slightly to take his hand. HE brings her into the cool rain as they, Mirabelle being twirled around playfully. She laughs in glee.
Afterward, William lifts her up by the waist and spins around again with Mirabelle's hands behind his neck a she continues to giggle, both not caring that they are soaked to the bone. William lowers her slowly as Mirabelle's chuckling recedes.
Both their grins fade away as they stare intently into each other's eyes, drowning in them instantly. William brings his head in closing the space between them; his lips almost reach hers.
Mirabelle pulls away, William still speechless.
\\MIRABELLE (softly)\\
I-I have to go.
She turns around walks away, William still immobile not knowing how to act upon this.
The next both are silent about yesterday as they go over lines with others. William steals glances at Mirabelle, with her catching them but looking away.
Mirabelle's hair is tied in low half-ponytail but with a layer of hair out. She is dressed in a robin's egg button-down corset with dark green embroider at the front hem of the neckline and sleeves, and to complete the outfit is a matching dark sea green skirt.
Finally they must rehearse together up on the stage everyone else practicing around them but distances away. As this continues, a creaking crate is unseen with the two male hands readying it to swing down; it's target.Mirabelle. The crate is pushed down, falling faster as it picks up speed, no one taking notice. It is almost to its objective, aiming straight for the unsuspecting victim. But at the last moment-
William has caught eye of and pushes Mirabelle onto her stomach, it grazing past his the right side of his chest. The box crashes with a sliding thud, breaking somewhat.
Everyone jumps in alarm as some help up William and Mirabelle.
Christian, Toulouse, and Zidler have just made it to the stage.
\\ZIDLER\\
What happened here?
\\WILLIAM\\
I don't know.
As the conversation progresses Mirabelle gazes behind her finding Russell coming out from the darkened place behind the curtains; he stares back but in a seductive knowing way. Mirabelle looks away in fear but suppresses the emotion from her features.
Afterwards, William helps a crewman with rolling up a cloth background.
\\CREWMAN\\
Thanks.
\\WILLIAM\\
No problem.
The Crewman departs as William winces in main from his chest.
\\MIRRABELLE\\
I'd like to thank you.
He spins around restraining the pain he is feeling at the moment.
\\MIRABELLE\\
For saving me today.
\\WILLIAM\\
It was nothing.
His move his right arm out comes excruciating pain, he grimaces from the throbbing ache.
Mirabelle rushes to his aid immediately
\\MIRABELLE (worried)\\
You're hurt.
\\WILLIAM (cringing)\\
It's.nothing.
\\MIRABELLE (ordering)\\
Sit down.
He obeys and seats himself on the two-stacked crates.
\\MIRRABELLE\\
Un-button you shirt.
William pause and stares at her puzzled.
\\WILLIAM\\
What?
\\MIRRABELLE\\
This is no time to be bashful; I just need to see your wound.
He reluctantly obliges and unfastens some of the buttons. Mirabelle inspects it finding the scrape is bleed, and then she rips a bottom part of her skirt, ripping the piece in two. She takes the smaller piece and dabs on the gash, trying to soak of some of the blood. At points William quietly hisses from the pain. She finally bandages it up but when just finishing it up William her hand in response the sting, giving a louder hiss.
\\MIRABELLE (softly)\\
Sorry.
William brings his stare to her eyes.
\\WILLIAM (gently)\\
Don't be.
Mirabelle gazes back, being sucked into the intensity of his eyes. She grows uncomfortable and pulls away getting up. She avoids contact as William arises slowly.
\\MIRABELLE (hesitating)\\
I-I should go.
She turns to walk away put he grabs her arm and pulls her into a deeps kiss. Mirabelle is unable to react as her eyes have closed on contact. After a few moments William pulls away realizing what he has just done and regretting it.
\\MIRRABELLE\\
Why did you do that?
William diverts his stare from her and back away all embarrassed from his sudden course of action.
\\WILLIAM\\
I'm so sorry; I-I didn't mean-
\\MIRRABELLE\\
Why did you stop?
He jerks his head back to her with a bewildered expression upon his face, speechless. Mirabelle closes the space between them and tilts her head; bring her lips close up to his. She glances up at his eyes before kissing him back only now it grows more passionately.
But from afar, Russell is watching in disgust and jealousy.don't worry it gets more suspenseful in the next chapter to come.
She has them go step by step.
