It was the final video to record of the week. Angela and Damien were about to film 2 truths and 1 lie. Angela, sitting on a table with Amanda and Chanse, looked a bit nervous.
“Girl, what’s wrong, you look like a ghost” Chanse asked
“Yeah dude, you don’t look so good. You feeling well?” Said Amanda. Angela seemed to snap out of the trance she was in.
“Oh, uh yeah I am, I’m fine.” She stated, Chanse and Amanda looked at each other, agreeing silently that she was lying, but to maybe not push further as she had a video soon.
The reason why Angela was worried was that she was afraid of being in another video with Damien. Even though she tries to deny it, her heart pumps so fast and her stomach fills with butterflies every time she sees his face, his hair, his eyes. She had a crush on Damien.
She saw the time, downed her drink and went to set a bit early to try and distract herself from her thoughts, little did she know, someone felt a bit more terrified than she did.
Damien was pacing back and forth in front of Shayne and Courtney, who were staring with a slight worry on their faces.
“What if she doesn’t like me, what if she hates me?” Damien questioned. Shayne and Courtney stepped in before he could spiral even more.
“Listen Dames, you’ll be fine alright.” Shayne said, Courtney nodded her head in agreement.
“Just calm down okay? We’ll be here to comfort you if anything goes wrong, which I doubt will happen.” Courtney exclaimed. Damien took a deep breath, they’re right, I’ll be fine he thought. He then headed to set to see Angela sitting on the stools on her phone, he sat down across from her while the crew finished getting ready.
“You ready to loose?” he said to her, she looked up and put her phone away.
“You wish” she teased, causing a smile (and a slight blush) to appear on Damien’s cheeks.
They got through the first 2 rounds of the game, Angela was mostly soaked but she got Damien at least once. Angela’s next 3 lies consisted of stuff such as her childhood home, how many times she’s had lasagna in the past week and the fact that she hated ape ghetto pasta as a kid, but was forced to eat it.
The lie was the pasta, Damien got it right so she was drowned by water. It was then Damien’s final turn.
The clogs in his head were turning, his blood pressure raised and the butterflies in his stomach were zooming.
“Okay, number 1. I got asked to join a popular tv series, but I said no since I would’ve had to leave SMOSH. 2. I worked at a fast food restaurant for 2 months and I got fired for stealing food. And 3…” he paused, looked up at Angela and back down as quick as he could. “I want to take you out on a date because I have a crush on you.” The room went silent, Angela’s eyes widened in confusion, her heart beating fast and the words were stuttering out of her mouth.
“So what’s the lie Angela?” He slightly chuckled, nervously he looked up at her. She just stared in confusion.
“What do you want the lie to be?” Chanse asked from the peanut gallery, Amanda smacked a hand over his mouth.
Words finally came out of Angela’s mouth.
“It’s the second one” she said, she hoped the third was the truth.
“Is that your final answer?” Damien asked, Angela nodded slowly as he grabbed the water gun. He placed it down and said she was right. Angela stared in surprise, the stood up off her seat. She walked to Damien and asked quietly, “Are you serious?” She asked.
“Yeah” he stated. Angela moved her hand to his face in a quick motion, grabbing his face slightly and leaned in, softly kissing his lips. He kisses back immediately, holding her hips softly.
The room erupted with claps and awes and congratulations.
“I guess that was a yes to my date suggestion then?” Damien said as they parted lips. Angela smiled, turned around back to her seat and picked up the water gun. She shot water in his face instantly.
“Yes”
*couple months later*
Angela was sitting in her apartment, oh sorry, their apartment. She cuddled up with Damien on the couch with their two cats and a dog. Happy and together.
