Jump Then Fall

Chapter 7

Lauras POV

What just happened? As he drove away all I could do was stand there...paralyzed, dumbfounded even. A million thoughts raced through my mind as I found myself still smiling with another round of chills up and down my spine. I felt happy and relaxed for the first time in days! I wasn't afraid anymore! 'You got this Laura!'.

Before I went to bed I decided to text Raini about what happened, knowing she'd want to hear every detail being the person she is. So I got under my covers and started to message her...

Laura: Hey Raini! You would NOT believe what happened after rehearsal today!! :O

*explains every detail*

Raini: O M G Laura!!!! Awww!! See!! Now what did I tell you girl! I'm glad you trust him now!! ;) You shouldn't doubt me when it comes to this kind of stuff ever again ok?

Laura: Haha yeah...I shouldn't have doubted you Raini. Sorry :/ Sometimes you know me better than I know myself! :P

Raini: That's ok Laura! It happens. Ha! You've got that right! ;D I want you to text me when you start to get real sparks for him!! ;))) Hehe.

What does that mean? Hmm

Laura: Uhh what?! What's THAT have to do with anything? ://

Raini: Oh, come on Laura! If you felt something when he kissed you on the CHEEK, just wait until you guys actually KISS!...and BOOM, instant boyfriend! ;)

Oh gosh Raini...I can always count on you to make things awkward! *silently chuckles* How should I responded to this...

Laura: Really Raini? Pshh! Just because I might have 'sparks' or whatever doesn't mean I'm gonna fall for him.. We'll talk later ok? I need to get ready for bed.

I thought about it for a second. There is NO way I'm gonna instantly fall in love with Ross over a stage kiss...right? My thoughts were interrupted by Raini's text.

Raini: Whatever you say Laura. ;) You never know! Just don't be afraid to let your guard down when opportunities come your way. Thanks for texting me! Goodnight! <3

She was right, again. Raini is one of the few people I know that gives really great advice when it comes to relationships and well, life in general. So yeah, maybe I'll let my guard down when opportunities come, but I still wanna protect my heart. Just to be on the safe side! I texted a quick goodnight back and my eyes were heavy so I put my phone away, turned off the lights, and drifted into a deep sleep awaiting our last day of rehearsals. As I was dozing off I also realized I didn't have to think about the kiss until Friday so it gave me time to rest my brain which was a little sore from all the thoughts I was trying to sort out. Ok go to sleep Laura ...sleep...rest...*sigh*...zzzz
