The Show Must Go On

'39

October 28th 1996
"You should and you need to invite Johnny to your party, it's a must and I hear he has been asking for you through interviews" Rebecca told me "you're joking shut it Rebecca, I don't think I will I mean it's probably not his scene you know" I shrugged and started making some dinner for tonight "well if you don't invite him than I will" Jackie joked "stop you guys!" We all laughed "well he is really cute!" I added they we all screamed "when is the last time you went out on a date...?" I sighed "it's been a while" than Rebecca said "exactly take a chance Vanessa" I smiled and thought about kissing Johnny, he was really attractive but was it the right timing and was he really interested in me?

October 31st 1996
It was the day of my birthday party and so many people made it I was so happy, I had my party at my home in LA such a beautiful weather too I walked out of my house in the backyard, I looked so nice but I wanted to look good for Johnny but I was getting my hopes up I heard Johnny said yes to coming to my party but he had not shown up yet. Was I getting stood up, or was he just not that into me?

Whatever the case I continued with my party a lot of my close friends and family were there besides my uncles and people from England because this was a last minute kind of party.
"LETS DRINK!!!" a lot of people kept shouting I took a shot of Patron and Bacardi, "wooaaahhhh" I screamed the whole time I finished my two shots. At the end of the night I wasn't drunk I kept myself eating and drinking water so I could be kind of sober for the end of the night in case anything went wrong. As I was walking to the living room, I bumped right into someone "oh my gosh, I'm such an idiot, I'm sorry" I dropped my drink and tried to pick the ice up than head a "your not an idiot, Miss Vanessa" I looked up and seen it was Johnny, "you made it" I grinned than he helped me to the kitchen "well of course, it's your birthday, and a very happy birthday to you I may say"
"Why thank you!" I said
"So I got you a present, now I don't want to give it to you with everyone around maybe when it's just the two of us later" he smiled
"We can go in my room, I mean this is my house you know" I laughed
as we made our way to my room, grabbed my hand and followed I thought 'is this really happening, I can't believe he's really here!??" I bite my lip and smiled at him while making my way to my room.
"Vanessa's paradise, this is my room, it's kinda messy but ignore it" it wasn't messy at all actually, "pretty nice, pretty nice, I like it a lot, really homey" he sat down on my bed ,
I sat down right next to him and said "why didn't you tell me you were so famous, like you're in so many movies, even though I don't watch a lot of movies but still"
"It's not my very first thing I want to start a convo with" he said
"Are you having s good time?" He also said
"a lovely time actually, I'm glad everyone is here and enjoying themselves" I said
"I don't mean to sound harsh, but why don't you watch any of movies?" He asked
"Don't get me wrong I love movies, but I just don't have the right time." I said
"Im not really a movie person myself" he said. I laughed "you're in so many though..." he glanced at the ground
"you'd be surprised" he said.
I bite my lip and looked around the room than at him and he was looking down being really shy I called out
"You had a present for me?!" i awkwardly laughed "Oh yes.." he stood up and lifted up his jacket he was wearing and had a white rose in his hand.
he gently handed it to me white s sweet smile on his face and said "this is for you, on your special for a very special person, happy birthday Miss Vanessa."
We both gazed into each other eyes, this was so romantic no one has ever done this for me it was small and very sweet.

As his face got closer to mine he whispered "I would very so much like to kiss you right now Miss Vanessa" his hands brought up against my face I tilted my head and said "than kiss me Johnny.." we kissed for the first time that night, it was beautiful the kiss landed for about 10 seconds even though I wanted longer "i was dying to kiss you Vanessa, I feel so much for you, the thought of me not thinking about you... it was literally eating at me inside." he put my hand on his heart and squeezed it, "I really really love being around you" I smiled shyly and said "I feel the same, and believe me when I say this but Ive never felt this way before" As we went downstairs I guess you can see by us confessing and kissing we were "going out" so we held hands walking downstairs to the party, all eyes were on us, some gossiped and some were happy for us. Either way I was really happy for us!💘
