How wonderful life is (Aaron Tveit fanfiction)

Chapter 16: Don't be sorry

AARON POV:
I was heading into the theatre to do yet another show. This morning was the last time I saw Sophie. We texted a little, but that was everything. I couldn't help but miss her. It was stupid, we had known each other for a few days, but she was amazing, I felt comfortable and myself with her. It was not like any other relationship I've had.
Last evening when we slept together, not intentionally but still. I slept the best I did in weeks, maybe even months. We fell asleep hugging and it was the best thing. But we hadn't talked about it yet. I had said that I like her, but boy if she knew how I really felt about her.
In my mind I was also still thinking about our kiss and how it felt real. Not like a stage kiss, I didn't mean it to be a stage kiss.
I was lost in thoughts when Ricky knocked on my dressingroom door.
"Hey man, how was walking Sophie home yesterday?" He asked.
"It was amazing! She's so sweet and invited me in for a drink." I said casually.
"That's it? You brought her home and then got a drink? Why don't I believe you man."
"What's going on?" Ashley asked who was now passing Aaron's dressingroom and overheard the story.
"I don't believe that Aaron just brought Sophie home yesterday and the only thing they did was have a drink." Ricky said.
"Oh I don't believe that either." Ashley said now looking at me.
I blushed and tried to look away, because I didn't want to tell them everything.
"Your blushing, now tell us what really happened." Ashley said.
"You guys really want to know?" I asked.
They both nodded yes.
So I told Ricky and Ashley the whole story. About watching tv and her asking me to stay over. How I was gonna sleep on the couch. But then we both felt lonely and fell asleep hugging each other in her bed.

Ashley and Ricky looked at me with wide open eyes.
"You guys really do like each other! Did you talk about what happened with her? About your feelings?" Ashley asked.
I told her we didn't and that I was scared she didn't feel the same way as I did.
"That's ridiculous mate, she just as crazy about you." Ricky said sure of himself.
"Why don't you go to her apartment again tonight after the show? Tell her how you really feel?" Ashely suggested.
"I have to think about that." I responded.
Ricky and Ashley knew I was right and that I needed some time to think. So they left my dressingroom to get ready for the show.
I also got myself ready for the show. I got dressed, did my stage make up and decided to post a picture of it in my Instagram stories.
Not many minutes later I got the notification that Sophie had liked my Instagram story. I blushed and smiled at the same time.

The first act went by pretty quick. It was a friday night so the audience was wild! There was a good energy.
During intermission I just chilled a little bit in my dressingroom and scrolled through Instagram. There was nothing special to see.
I still thought about what Ricky and Ashley had said about visiting Sophie tonight and I decided to do it. The worst thing that could happen, was that she would say she didn't have the same feelings.
I decided that I would text her after the show to see if she was still awake.
The second act also went by very quickly. I couldn't help but thinking of Sophie during 'Come what may'. I kinda saw it as our song now, because of how we had sang together.
In my dressingroom I removed my make up and dressed myself in my everyday clothes. I texted Sophie to see if she was awake and then I headed out for stagedoor.
Outside were many girls waiting. So I started at the beginning of the line signing all the playbills. 15 minutes later I was done and all the fans left stagedoor. I checked my phone to see if Sophie texted me back yet. But she hadn't. I decided to text her again. Actually I texted her twice. After a while I still hadn't had a response.
I knew that if I would go home I would feel sad, so I just started walking towards Sophie's apartment. Maybe she was busy watching netflix and didn't see my texts.

After 15 minutes I arrived at Sophie's apartment. I knocked on her door. It took a while to see action in the apartment. But after a minute or so I saw her looking through the whole in the door. My heart raged in my chest. Oh how I liked her. Sophie opened the door, started talking, but before I even knew what I did.. I kissed her right on the mouth.

SOPHIE POV:
Inside I freaked out about Aaron kissing me. But before I knew I was kissing him back.
We kissed for what it felt like was an eternity. But it was amazing and everything I hoped for.
He let go of the kiss first. We just looked at each other.
"I.. I.. I'm so sorry." He said nervous.
"Don't be!" Was the only thing I could say.
We looked in each others eyes, deep and long.
"D.. do you want to come in?" I asked.
He nodded yes and I let him in. Closing the door behind him. He walked to the couch and sat down.
"Something to drink?" I then asked.
"No thank you." He said.
I walked to the couch and sat down next to him. There was a silence and the only thing we did was looking at each other.
I looked at his lips, they were gorgeous and I wanted to kiss them again, it felt so good. I looked back into his eyes and then decided to do it. So this time I started the kiss.
He cupped my face with both his hands and kissed me back. Then one of his hands moved to my back and he pushed us closer together. Not losing the touch of our lips. His lips were so soft. He was an amazing kisser.
I let go of the kiss and looked into his eyes.
"Thank you." I said.
He chuckled at what I said.
"No, thank you Sophie! That was amazing."
I blushed at what he said and then he blushed too.
I laid my head on his shoulder and he held me close to him. I could hear his heart beating in his chest.
We were quiet for a few minutes.
"Sophie?" He then asked.
"Yes Aaron?"
"I like you very very much, and I've missed you like crazy today!"
I looked at him, he had tears in his eyes saying these words. One tear fell down his cheek and I rubbed it away with my thumb.
I cupped his cheek in my hand and said: "I like you very very much too Aaron. There wasn't one moment where I didn't think about you today."
We kissed again not letting each other go.
