Chapter 2

We spent the rest of the day, until around two o'clock, just loving each other's company. (and a couple of other things.) At two, we usually hop into the bath (together) get washed off, and start doing a couple breathing and vocal exercises. Well, at least I do. Gaspard always seems to be at his best, never needing to prepare. So there we were, sitting on the bath together which was huge, I might add, and filled with bubbles. Naturally, we had ourselves a little bubble fight. He started it by putting some bubbles on my nose. I blew some in his face, then we had a little fight. All this and I was still trying to do my breathing exercises. I really had to prepare for this show. I've been in a lot of shows, but this one had to be the most difficult. But also, the most rewarding. Playing Elphaba is the most amazing role I've ever played. I'll never get tired of it. Naturally, Gaspard plays Fiyero, and we fall in love and have a big love song together. I love all my scenes with him. He makes everything look so effortless, and constantly dazzles me. I think I've forgotten my lines once or twice because he distracted me with his beautifulness. His smooth voice pulled me from my thoughts.

"I think it's time we got out, love."

"Why, what time is it?"

"Three," he replied nonchalantly. Had we really been in there for an hour?

"I suppose," I guess I looked a little disappointed because he started to laugh. Then he scooped me out of the water, grabbed two towel, and ran us into our bedroom. Then, though I have no idea why, he dried me off. I was grabbing my clothes, while trying very hard to concentrate on my breathing exercises when he spun me around and kissed me passionately for a minute.

"Your too beautiful," he said, pressing his forehead to mine. I giggled.

"Same to you, my love." Before I knew it, I was on our bed with him on top of me, sucking on my neck. I knotted my hands in his hair, tilted his head up, and crushed my lips to his. He tried pulling my lips open, his tongue requesting access, but I wasn't having that. I wanted to tease him. Finally he had enough of my games and forced his tongue into my mouth. I was fine with that, and caught it with mine. We kissed like this for I don't know how long, when he finally broke free and said "we should probably finish getting ready, or we'll be late." I looked at the clock. It was four fifteen! Time flies when your kissing an insanely gorgeous vampire. He looked at my expression and laughed. He leaned down, and whispered "I love you" in my ear. I put my hand on his cheek and said "I love you, too." He laughed quietly.

"Now go finish getting ready and I'll meet you downstairs."

"Ok," I replied.

I had finished getting ready, and came downstairs with my bag. It was filled with stuff for after the show, because we had to go to the stage door and meet the fans. "Hello, love." He said when I reached the bottom of the stairs. "Ready?" he asked. "Yep, let's go!" I replied. He laughed, scooped me up, ran me to the car, and we headed of for the theater.
