He waited for me to let go, so he knew I was okay. And after a moment I did.
"Sorry Aaron, I know this was supposed to be a date and now I'm all crying and talking about my ex."
"A date? Who said something about this being a date?" He said shocked and blushing.
"Uhmm you did when you messaged me." I also blushed.
"Ohh uhh.. it's okay Sophie. I'm happy you feel safe enough with me to talk about your past."
Aaron knew he wanted this to be a date, but he didn't want to push Sophie into things so he basicly ignored the fact that she knew he said it.
Sophie was okay with it, because she didn't want for things to go too fast.
"So Aaron, enough about me. Tell me about you."
"Well I'm on Broadway in a show called Moulin Rouge and I have a dog named Miles." He started.
"I know that already Tveit, tell me something else."
Aaron started laughing about how insisted Sophie was.
"I grew up in Middletown a small place an hour away from the city. I lived with my mom, dad and my brother John. I love them very much. And as it is for studying. I went to Ithaca, but didn't finish school because I got cast in the national tour of Rent. And from that moment on my life was in the theatre. I also did a few movies and television series."
The only thing I could do while listening to him was admiring how passionate he was. And how he looked even more handsome talking about his life.
Minutes passed by while talking to each other.
"Do you want to get another coffee? Or we could go somewhere else if you want to." Aaron suggested.
"Don't you have anything else to do today? You have a show tonight." I said.
"I have time, I have to be at the theatre 1,5 hour or so before the show."
"And you are not getting bored of me yet?" I asked.
"I will never get bored of you!" Aaron said, cheeks turning red.
"Well then maybe we can get another coffee and just take a walk through the city?"
"Perfect! Do you want the same thing as before?"
"I want an iced brown sugar shaken espresso if that's not too much to ask. I only drink the Macchiatto in the morning. Later in the day I like this one." I said nervous.
"No problem Sophie, I will get it for you."
Aaron walked away to order our to go coffee and I walked outside, waiting for him there.
I decided to text Melissa, because I hadn't spoken to her in a while.
Hey Lis, how are you? I miss you!
Soph! I miss you too. What are you doing right now? Have you seen Aaron already?
We actually got coffee this morning and now we are going to walk around town. Just hang out for a bit. I like it when I'm around him Lis!
Omg!! That's great! Enjoy the rest of your day and fill me in later. I want to hear everything!
I smiled at Melissa's message. And just at that moment Aaron walked outside with our coffee's.
"What are you all smiling about?" He asked with a smirk.
"Oh nothing, just realising it's a good day today." I said.
"I agree, this is one of the best mornings I've had in a long time." He said.
He handed me my coffee and we just walked through the city. The weather was just beautiful. It was warm, but not too hot.
We walked to Times Square. There was a big billboard with him and Ashley Loren. I loved Times Square and the billboard. Aaron noticed.
"Shall I take a picture of you? Here on Times Square with all the billboards. You can post it on your Instagram." He said.
I handed him my phone. He took it and it looked like he struggled with it.
"Is everything ok? Can you handle my phone?" I asked laughing. He blushed and then asked me to take a pose.
He took my pictures. Not just one but a few.
"So now you have a lot to choose from." He said.
I wanted to take my phone out of his hands, but he wouldn't give it back to me.
"Can I get my phone back mr. Tveit?" I asked teasing.
"You can have it back, but first you have to take a picture with me." He teased back.
I did as he said. I stood next to him. He wrapped an arm around my waist and we took a few pictures together.
When we both wanted to let go, we almost kissed. We were so close together during that picture.
We were both looking a bit awkward after it.
"Uhm just make sure you send me those ok?" He aksed breaking the awkward moment.
"I will, but I don't know if Instagram is the right place to send them."
"You don't have to send them on Instagram. You can send them another way, just look through your phone when you're home." He said all mysterious.
I looked at him for answers, but he didn't give them to me.
"Do you want to walk past the theatre?" He asked.
"Yeah sure, that sounds nice!"
As we were already on Times Square, the theatre was not that far away. When we arrived Aaron stood under the pillar with his picture on it.
"Sophie, can you take a picture of me and my twin brother?" He asked jokingly.
I laughed and took my phone out. I snapped a few pictures of him being silly with the pillar.
"I will also send those to you." I said.
He laughed and looked at me.
"Hey Sophie, will you do me a pleasure and see the show tonight?"
"Well Aaron, I would love to, but since you're in the show a ticket would cost me a fortune and I don't have that kind of money right now." I said a little embarresed.
"No no no, you don't have to pay for it! You'll get the ticket from me silly."
"Aaron I'm not a charity case. You already paid for my coffee twice and now this."
"Soph I'll get you in the audience tonight, please say yes. I really want you there!"
He called me by my nickname how could I refuse now?
"Ok Aaron, I will be there. Just tell me when and where I have to be."
"Can you meet me here at 5?" He asked.
"5? But the show starts at 7 and you don't have to be here at least 1,5 hour before the show."
"I know, but I have a surprise for you. Please meet me at 5 here in front of stagedoor?"
