The walk home was silent. It was as if Finn was nervous to talk to me. The sound of my phone vibrating shook me out of my thoughts. I checked it over and saw a new message from the one and only Jonathan.
I NEED A FAVOR FROM YOU. ARE YOU UP TO IT? DON'T ANSWER, JUST MEET ME AT CENTRAL PARK TOMORROW AT NOON.
With a smile I put the phone away in my back pocket anxious for Jon's proposition. I am taken away from my thoughts by a voice coming next to me and I realize that I'm still walking with Frankenteen.
"You know every time I look at your phone Jonathan's name pops up. What is he? Is he like your boyfriend or something?" His invasion of privacy is not welcome.
"What's it to you?" I ask.
"Nothing, just curious."
"Jonathan's not my type, I've got my sight set on someone else." I respond to him with a chuckle. I look up at Finn and his smirking face is gone and his mouth is replaced by a thin line.
"Theo?" his voice cracks. He looks down at his feet and I feel bad. Why? I wouldn't know.
Trying to ignore the subject I straighten my back and say, "So, have you always liked performing?" This question seemed to bring him back from his dropped mood and a smile falls upon his lips.
"Yeah. Um my mom was an amazing singer. She would always sing me a lullaby before going to bed and she gave me a few of my first singing lessons. I guess you could thank her for the most talented human you've ever met." The beginning of what he said tugged at my heart because it seemed we had something in common, but his last statement made me roll my eyes.
"Well you're lucky I can't meet myself. That will surely topple you off that list." I cockily said back. He quickly stopped, grabbed my hand, and turned me around to face him. He was wearing his signature smirk.
Revie"Really? You? You can sing?" He shot back with amusement in his deep pools of hazel.
Defensively I answered, "I'll have you know that I missed a very important broadway audition today to spend the day with you!" He looked at me with surprise.
"Wow. I didn't think you were that big of a fan." We started walking again. I shot him a glare.
"I'm not your fan. I meant that I missed my audition because my little sister Quinn, remember her, idolises you and dragged me along."
He put his hand over his heart and feigned a hurt expression. "Ms. Berry, you wound me."
"Good!" I shot back. As we walked I noticed the white Honda parked in front of my building. Time flew by and I hadn't realized we were at our destination.
"We're here!" I say. I turn to face him and his arms find their way around my waist, his head finds the crook of my neck and we're hugging. What? His lips linger near my ear. "Dream of me, I know I'll dream of you." With a kiss on the cheek he's gone. I lift my hand to my face where I still feel his lips and smile.
