Anthony's POV

I kissed her. I actually kissed her. WHY'D I KISS HER?!?!!?! She seemed to like it. She doesn't like you she's your best friend. But she kissed back. These two sides of my brain fought for the rest of rehearsal.

After practice we had no plans so Jas and I grabbed a cab to go home. Most of the way was silent until I spoke.

"So...?"

"I really like you Ant." Jas interrupted. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I thought.

"I like you too!" I said a bit overly excited. Jas grinned brightly. I smiled back at her. Suddenly her lips smashed into mine and she pushed me against the cab door.

We kissed for about a minute before she slowly pulled away and sat back down on her side.

We sat in a comfortable silence, constantly glancing at each other and smiling. After a while I spoke.

"So...? You want to... be my girlfriend?" Jas smiled. She didn't speak for a moment. And here's where she says no and never talks to you again.

"YES YES YES!!!" She screamed. I grinned and threw my arms around Jas before pushing her backwards and kissing her deeply. Jas ended it after around a minute when she spoke.

"You wanna do something fun?" She asked. I started getting very nervous.

"Um...?" I started anxiously. "We've been dating for like two seconds. And we're in a cab so..." Jas giggled.

"Not that silly!" She said. I blushed deep red.

"Oh ok sorry!" I said, clearly embarrassed. She laughed again before continuing.

"Let's pretend we aren't dating so we can annoy the cast." I smiled at the thought.

"That's a great idea!" I exclaimed. "You didn't tell anyone did you?"

She thought for a second.

"Nope! You?"

"No." I answered. "I was to freaked out by the fact that I kissed you to talk." Jasmine laughed loudly. I LOVE HER SMILE!!!!!!

"Great!" Jas exclaimed. "We have a plan!"

(Ignore the fact that the person who showed Anthony his costumes saw them kissing)

Jas and I got to our apartment. After lots of watching tv and a meal of Chinese takeout, Jas fell asleep in my arms with her head on my chest. I soon followed.

----

Jas and I sat across from each other at the cafe, holding hands over the table. I noticed someone that made me pull my hands away. Jas looked disappointed for a moment and opened her mouth to question me. She understood when I spoke.

"DAVEED!!" I shouted. Daveed turned around and smiled when he saw us.

"How are you two love birds doin' today?" He asked. I rolled my eyes at him and Jas pretended to hide a fake blush.

"Kidding!" He added. Daveed talked for a while before left us to go see Lin before rehearsal. Jas and I were alone again. We finished our coffee quickly and took the longer way to the theater.

We swung our arms back and forth until we realized we were standing in front of The Public. We split ways at the stage, I walked over to Daveed, Oak, and Lin and she walked to Pippa, Renée, and Groff.

"Hey Anthony!" Lin said as I approached them. "Gotten any further with Jazzy?" I rolled my eyes.

"Haha." I replied sarcastically. "When will you guys give it up? I don't like her." I lied

"It's destiny for you guys to be together." Oak said as he slapped me on the back. "Accept your fate." Daveed and Lin laughed loudly. I rolled my eyes yet again.

Jasmine's POV

I pulled my hand away from Ant's and walked over to Pippa, Renée, and Groff.

"Hey!" Groff said. "How's my little Peggy?" I smiled.

"Great!" I responded.

"I didn't get a chance to talk to you yesterday. How was your costume time with Ant?" Pippa asked with a smirk. A large grin spread across my face.

"Good but," I turned so I was facing Groffsauce. "He didn't droll over me. I told you he wouldn't." It took all of my strength to suppress my laughs.

"Mmmm hmm. Sure. You can believe that." Renée said. I saw Ant coming over a quickly shushed them.

"Hey guys!" He said as he slung his arm over my shoulder. He quickly put his other around Pippa, as to not be suspicious. Groff smirked at me and I hid my face so everyone thought I was blushing. Ant squeezed my shoulder and smiled at me.

We chatted for a few more minutes before we were called up for practice. I couldn't wait until Helpless. When that time finally came Ant danced with me, not as my crush, but as my boyfriend.

After rehearsal Daveed, Oak, Ant, Pippa, Renée, and I went out to dinner. I sat between Ant and Pippa. Pippa decided to continue the tradition of "accidentally" shoving Ant and I into each other.

I was talking to Ant when she shoved me into him. I my head may have lingered on his chest for a second too long because when I sat up Renée and Pippa gave me weird looks. I gave Pippa a death stare before continuing my conversation.

After dinner ended we all went our separate ways. Once we were out of sight, Ant and I intertwined fingers. I smiled the whole walk back. Standing in front of Ant's apartment was a person we really did not want to see right now.

"Anthony!" Mia yelled, waving crazily at us. "ANTHONY!!!" Ant dropped my hand and sighed. I looked at him, confused.

"She'll tell Steph." He said. I nodded solemnly.

"I just don't like her when she's around you." He smiled at me.

"Is someone jealous?" He said in a mocking tone. I blushed and looked down.

"No I'm not!" I said. Ant laughed and we approached Mia. She ran right past me and hugged Ant before kissing him on the cheek. She smiled, completely ignoring me, and blocked me out of the conversation.

"How are you?" She asked. They talked for around five minutes before Ant looked over her shoulder and saw my expression.

"Listen Mia, I'd love to talk more but Jas and I have plans." Ant said. Mia turned around and plastered on a fake smile.

"Hi Jasmine I didn't see you there." She turned back around. "We'll see you later!" She said to Ant. Mia kissed him on the cheek. Her lips lingered there for much too long.

I ran around them and pulled Ant away from her.

"Bye Mia nice seeing you!" I said over my shoulder as Ant and I walked away.

"Jealous!" Ant said in a sing-song voice when we were out of ear shot. I blushed but smiled.

"You wish!" I said as I lightly shoved him. He laughed and slung his arm around me.

We walked up to the apartment and fell asleep, yet again, on the couch together.

Ok I have SO much homework so sorry this was late. And I just got a palate expander so I'm talking weirdly, my mouth hurts, and I'm gonna have a gap in my teeth for picture day. And yes this was pretty much a filler chapter except for the fact that they started dating. Thanks for reading this trash. Please tell me if you see any mistakes.

Have a great day!
