John finally pulled away after what seemed like years. When he stepped back, he could see Maria blush. He felt good after kissing her. Like he died and gone to heaven. All Maria could do was just stare in aw.

"Uh…..I'm really sorry. I was just…..uhh…..practing the kiss for the storyline!"

John couldn't think if a better excuse. There was no way he was going to tell her how he felt. But…how did he feel? Maria finally gathered up the courage to actually say something.

"The storyline…right. I….totally forgot about that part. But umm..you might want ot get dressed. Unless you plan on going out there naked of course." Maria let out a childish laugh.

'But I wouldn't mind at all.'

Wait! Why was she thinking that! She shook it off, and turned to leave.

"Wait! We still have to go over the lines!"

"Uhhh….we'll go over them in my room ok?"

"Sure…..whatever."

Watching Maria walk out of the room put a smile on his face. Everything about her was perfect. It was almost like she was an angel. He finally got dressed, but he couldn't get her out his mind. He needed to kiss her again. See that in her eyes that she felt the same way. He needed to hold her, feel her. He grabbed the script and ran out of his room.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Maria was walking back from Johns room after the kiss. She didn't think he was just practing the storyline. On the way back she ran into Trish.

"Hey girlie why such red cheeks. Oh! Your blushing! Why?"

"Uh…..nothing! I think I put on to much blush. I got to go take it off."

Trish could tell that the former Diva Search contestant was lying. She could always tell. Maria would blink her eyes 2 times, look away, then get this dumb smile on her face.

"Something happened in Johns room! Oh tell me tell me tell me!"

Maria didn't want to say anything. But Trish was her best friend.

"Ok. John kissed me. And he wasn't practing for the storyline."

"O….M……G! No kidding! Babe what did you feel?"

Maria didn't know. In her eyes John was a god. His smile always got her. His body..oh she could go on for hours. But his eyes….oh she always got lost in them. Everything about him was what she was looking her. She was about to answer but Trish had already gone. Johns kiss still lingered on her lips. His scent was on her clothes. She wanted it to stay forever. She needed to kiss him. Suddenly she heard a voice behind hers sounding like Johns.

"Hey Maria."

Trusting her instincts 100, she turned around and kissed the man. Little did she know was that John was right behind her.
