Peggy

I woke up in the middle of the night for no reason. I rubbed my eyes and pushed myself up and looked around- this wasn't my room. I looked next to me- John was asleep without a shirt on. I looked down- I didn't have one either.
I checked the clock on the nightstand next to the bed- 3:26 AM. I groaned- I wanted to go back to sleep, but the girls would freak out if I didn't come home.
I sat on the bed and used the flashlight on my phone to find my clothes. I picked up my skirt and my shirt and started to put them back on, when I heard John groaned and roll over, facing me.
"Where you going, babygirl?" He asked.
Babygirl. My heart melted.
"I gotta head home. Eliza and Angelica will lose their minds if they found out I stayed the night," I answered.
He groaned again. "Then how are they going to feel when they find out your my girl?"
"They won't. Nobody needs to know," I replied. "Except the guys. So, the girls will be the only people we don't tell."
The bed shifted, and I felt John sit up and move closer to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me on my neck.
"John... I have to go..." I whispered to him.
"Do you have to?" He whined.
"Unfortunately," I replied, he sighed. I turned to him and gave him a quick kiss, and left.
I snuck out his apartment and scurried into mine, being sure not to wake the girls. I snuck back into my bedroom, changed into pajamas, then instantly fell asleep when I got into bed.

The next morning, I woke up at about eleven, it was early for me. Eliza and Angie leave for work around seven and eight, so I had the house to myself. I put on some Spanish music and started cooking breakfast in the kitchen, when I heard the front door open. I looked over to see what was going on- and of course- John walked through. He looked at me and smiled, I just laughed.
"What are you doing here?" I yell playfully over the music.
"I heard the girls leave earlier, I could smell what you were cooking from a mile away. So, I thought- I'm such a good boyfriend, why should Peggy eat alone? Ill go join her," he explained, I laughed and rolled my eyes at him as he walked over to me.
We played around and danced together while I cooked for me and him. Once it was done, we barley ate. We mainly goofed off together while listening to the music. He lifted me up by my waist and sat me on the kitchen counter next to the sink and started at me.
I started giggling. "What?"
"I'm just realizing how i'm so lucky," he said while smiling, I felt my fave get red as I blushed.
"I just wish I told you how I felt sooner," I whispered as I ran my fingers through his messy hair.
"I know, but it was worth the wait," he replied.
"No doubt," I said, John started laughing. "What?"
He took a deep breath. "My love for you is never in doubt. We'll get a little place in Harlem, and we'll figure it out. I've been without a family sense I was a child- my father left, my mother died, I grew up buck wild. But ill never forget my mothers face, that was real. And as long as I'm alive, I swear to God Peggy you'll never feel so..."
He stated singing to one of our favorite musicals ever- Halexander Amilton, but he changed the name to Peggy. I hopped off the counter and re-enacted the dancing part with him and continued the song.
"I have never been the one to try and grab the spotlight- we were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night. Laughing at my sister as she dazzles in the room- and you walked in and my heart went-"
"Boom!"
John and I started laughing and singing together, and I felt like a real life Disney Princess. He was the Adam to my Belle, the Kristoff to my Anna, the Charming to my Cinderella. And our relationship was brand new- let's hope it stays this way.
I swear to God, when I'm in his arms I never felt so helpless.

"How are you sure this is going to work?" I asked Thomas as him and I stood around Maria.
"Look at her- how could you not want to get in her pants?" Thomas asked while laughing, Maria looked over and winked, then went back to her makeup.
"Don't worry, darlin.' I'll take care of Anthony and that little tramp," Maria snickered. "Just gotta act... helpless."
