Chapter 35

August

"Mist? You got everything?"

Walking up the stairs when I didn't hear her, I knocked then opened the door to her just sitting there, staring at the wall.

"Baybeh?"

Calling her, she didn't respond at all and it confused and worried me. Leaving the room, I went and got maw.

"What's wrong?"

"She's just sitting there staring at the wall maw. I called and she ain't answered."

"She's fine." She laughed.

"What you mean she's fine? That ain't her being fine."

"You're still learning her. This is something Misty did when she had shows back in school. She would tune any and everything out of her way and just meditate on what she had to do."

After she said that, Misty walked into the kitchen.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm starving." She looked through the cupboards.

"Thats another thing she does when she's nervous. She eats."

"What you two mumbling about over there?" She bit into an apple as she got a bowl.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Getting some cereal, you want?"

"Nah. Maw made bacon and waffles."

"Oouu really?" Her eyes lit up as she poured the milk.

Holding the apple in one hand and the spoon in the other, she ate some cereal before coming over to the island in the middle of the kitchen and picked up a piece of bacon.

"Sweet face?"

"Yes Puffin?" She looked at me same time maw began to laugh. "What?" She asked.

"You two and these names?" She shook her head.

"She's my sweetface." I smiled. "She's beautiful."

"And he's my Puffin because of how he smoke. The way he exhales is so damn sexy." She smirked.

"Okay this is getting weird." Maw said then left us.

Putting my attention back on Misty, she seemed happy as she ate. Walking over to her, I just hugged her from behind.

Looking back at me, she smiled before feeding me some bacon.

"You good?" She asked.

"I am. I missed you." I kissed her.

Initially I was suppose to come in yesterday but I had some last minute work related things to do so I flew out early this morning.

"I missed you too. I wish you could stay to see me do this audition."

"Nah. I think its for the best that I can't. That way you're focused and you kill it."

"True." She agreed.

"But you're going to kill it. I believe you."

"That makes me feel good."

"What?"

"You saying that because honestly I'm nervous as hell babe. Like this is nerve wrecking Aug. I only got clearance to yesterday to get back out there. I don't know if my solo routine is on point because I was in so much pain while doing it, like I don't know." She broke down.

"C'mon baybeh. Stop crying." I hugged her from the front. "You've reach this far because you deserve it. You've worked for it and you're going to go in their and make it to every component and pass and be attending Juilliard next year. Then in four years when you leave, ya gonna be dancing with ABT and we're gonna get married and have a bunch of babies."
