Behind the Scenes (closed)

Lilly stood up "it's not quite right..." She said as she walked over to Craig "he has an overwhelming desire to kiss her. He just has to do it. But even though Emily has feelings for him she's taken by surprise by the kiss. She hesitates but only for a moment before relaxing into the kiss, returning his passion." She took a deep breath looking at Craig "let's show them how it's done..."
 
"I thought you'd never ask." Craig replied causing the young thespians to laugh. Taking a couple of scripts, he hands one to Lilly before helping her on stage.

Finding an appropriate starting point they start reading lines. From the moment they started reading, Craig got engulfed in the character. Wow, what an amazing actress. Pulling him into the role.

Their voices inflect with the passion of emotion and Craig kisses her deeply. Feeling her body tense in his arm. Then relaxing...more than succombing to the kiss. She wanted it...and moved against him.

Lilly's kiss made his toes curl. Every time.
 
Lilly smiled pulling away. "See? It should be something that leaves them both feeling weak in the knees." She said "but you have to be careful to keep it realistic and not too over dramatic. It should be sweet and sincere but still have that spark."
 
"And it's all about body language. Your bodies have to convince the audience that youre in love."

Taking Lilly's hand in his, he pulled her aside to watch. "Try again...from the third line" craig announced. Lilly leaned back against him as he held her close.

This time was a dramatic improvement over last. Still not perfect, but definitely improved. "What did you think of that effort, Lilly?"
 
"I thought it was very well done. By the time your performing in front of your audience it should be perfect." Lilly said "great job..."
 
The class cheered as the teacher thanked us for coming. We wish the two leads the best and see them looking at each other with non-performing interest. Knowing that you saw it too...I wink at you.

Ms harden gives us a flyer inviting us to come opening night.
 
"Well I think they won't have to fake it much longer." She said as they walked out "so where to next?" She asked as she looked over the flyer "maybe if we come down to see the show we could spend the weekend down here..."
 
Craig laughs at her comment. "I was thinking they just needed an opportunity to kiss. We gave them that."

"I think that we can come back for the play...if you like"

They opt to walk to the burger place where Craig worked. Entering, there were a handful of customers that made small talk. Ordering for them both, craig leads Lilly to a table in the corner. "Can I confess something?"
 
"Yeah, of course." Lilly said her heart starting to pound "what is it?" She asked trying not assume the worst.
 
"While we were at the school, I think I may have found my calling. Obviously, being on stage doesn't seem to be in the cards. There's not many opportunities in directing. What if I became a drama teacher?"

Their meals arrived and Craig watched Lilly intently, anxious for her reaction.
 
Lilly took a deep breath relieved. "You can do whatever you want. If teaching makes you happy then go for it. I'm not going to stop you." She said "it's your choice."
 
"I know it's ultimately my decision." Craig holds Lilly's hands across the table and their legs touch. "But I can be impulsive and I need an objective point of view. Can you see me as a teacher?"

He thinks a moment. "I only regret having not performed with you."
 
"Yeah. You did well today. You could definitely be a teacher." Lilly said "Maybe there will still be a chance that we will get the opportunity to do a show together."
 
"Thank you honey. Not just for the encouragement. Being here. Discovering me. Thinking I'm worth the effort to discover."

Craig rubs her leg with his as he feeds her a french fry.
 
"You really don't need to thank me. I didn't do anything special." Lilly said "so do you think I should keep acting? Or do something else?" She asked.
 
"By far, you are the best actress I have seen. I can see you love it. Back there on stage, you carried me. I didn't see Lilly. I saw Emily."

He leans in and kisses her. "Maybe I can be your manager when you hit it big, too"
 
"If that ever happens. It's not all about skill. It's about the way you look. I don't have the look that people want." She said sighing "people want tiny little blondes with giant boobs." She said annoyed.
 
"Can I ask you a question? What is your dream life?" Craig looks deep in Lilly's eyes.
 
"I don't even know anymore." She sighed "I thought everything would just fall into place. I would just know what I was supposed to do..."
 
I lean in and touch my forehead to yours. "You already have a cheerleader in me. I am your biggest fan. I'm not going anywhere."

He looks into her eyes. "I could get lost in your eyes."
 
"Well then you probably shouldn't look at them. I don't want to lose you." She said covering up her eyes. "Especially if it's my fault."
 
Craig looks outside to see th shadow start to lenthen. "Dangerous curves?" Heasked Lilly on the way to his car. Once there, he pinned her against the passenger door. His mouth devouring hers.
 
"But we...haven't...gotten to go...everywhere you...wanted to go yet..." Lilly said through the kiss. Her arms wrapped around him as he pulled her closer.
 
"We'll be back for the play's opening. We can catch the rest then."

Craig continued, "Besides, I got to spend the day with my love."
