Anthony's POV
I began rubbing circles on the bare of Amy's back. God she was so beautiful. Her smelt of cinnamon and apples. I placed a kiss on her head hoping she would wake up.
"Mhmm." She mumbled. I tighten my grip around her. It felt so good to have her back in my arms. I'm never letting her go.
"Good morning." I whispered playing with her hair.
"Morning freckles." She giggled and I chuckled.
"You're not going to drop that are you?" I asked and she lifted herself up off me, shaking her head. I placed a kiss on her lips, receiving a return back. "Last night was fun, huh?" I smirked and she blushed. "You look so beautiful naked." There was a knock on my bedroom door.
"Yo. You guys up yet?" Jasmine shouted.
"Yeah." I replied and Amy lay back down next to me, covering herself with the bed sheet. Jasmine walked in.
"Lin wants us to come to his place. He's throwing a small Moana listening party and he wants to tell us when he's leaving." Jasmine said sitting on the bed of the bed.
"Are you guys going to extend your contracts?" Amy asked curiously.
"Probably." I shrugged kissing the very top of her head.
"Yeah. I'm hoping to stay until November." Jasmine added.
"What time did Lin want us at his?" Anthony asked looking at the clock radio. It was about 9:45am.
"I think 6. He's really proud of his work. You guys know that." Jasmine said and Amy nodded.
"Yeah."
"You should bring Charlie." I suggested to Amy. "She's love it."
"She's with Dad and Cassie though." Amy said.
"It's cool. We can pick her up. I'm happy to drive."
"A-are you sure?"
"Of course I am babe."
"Ohmygod! Can you two stop being so freakibg cute. I can't handle it." Jasmine squealed and then looked around the room. "Oh shit. I didn't realise- were you guys in the middle of something?"
"No." Amy said as Jasmine passed her a top of mine to wear for the time being.
"Babe. I told you to take a right turn." Amy giggled when I actually took a left turn.
"But the GPS on my phone told me to turn left." I said and Amy rolled her eyes. I placed my right hand on her knee and she placed on her on top of my mine. If she wasn't playing on her phone during the trip, she would play with my fingers. She was very fidgety. God it was a cute habit she had. We stopped at the red lights. We were now reaching suburban New York. We were heading to Ross and Cassandra's house. They had brought a new house together because they needed another room for Charlie, instead of her sleeping in the study. Amy wanted to speak to her Dad about putting the apartment up for rent, therefore they could earn some more money whilst her father went back to work part time. She would officially move in with me. Jasmine was so used to Amy staying every second night, it really was like she lived with us. After forty five minutes of driving, and a small pit stop we finally made it. We both got out of the car.
"Amy! Anthony!" Charlie squealed running out of the house onto the road to greet us.
"Lil C!" I picked her up. "You're getting heavy." I chuckled and placed her back on the ground. "Charlie. What have I told you? Don't run on the road." Ross said coming out of the white house.
"But daddy, I looked both ways. I promise." The little girl sighed and hugged her sisters legs. I smiled and held Amy's hand. I loved holding her hand, I just didn't tell her. She would wrap her two arms around my arm and cuddle into me as we walked.
"So, are you how half sister, or step sister?" Joey the 13 years old rudely asked Amy.
"Joey!" Cassie groaned at her son. "Don't be rude." She said as we sat down in the lounge room.
"Eugh. You're still with him." Timothy rolled his eyes and I put my arm around Amy's shoulders.
"Yo Ross. Did you see the Knicks and Celtics game on Friday night?" I asked Amy's father. I said this so that kid would leave.
"I only watched the last quarter. I got home from work late." He said as he sat on the other couch with Charlie. She was playing with the rabbits which they recently got. She named the girl rabbit Elsa and the boys got to name the other one Bob.
"How's work going for you?" Ross asked me.
"Oh pretty good. I'm going to update my contract tonight."
"That's awesome. Oh, congratulations on the Tony win."
"You're in a show?" Joey asked me.
"Yeah. I'm in Hamilton."
"No you're not." Billy crossed his arms.
"Yeah I am buddy." I added and Amy giggled at the bickering that was going to go down.
"I've seen it. He is." Cassandra added putting some cookies and biscuits on the table for us to pick at.
"Anthony. Do you mind helping me upstairs? One of Timothy's shelves fell, and I just need someone to hold it whilst I nail it back up." Ross asked standing up.
"Sure." I said placing a kiss on Amy's head and let go of her hand and followed him.
We made it up the fancy spiral staircase. You wouldn't find a house like this in the heart of New York. I followed him in Timothy's room. We mainly spoke about my family and how my mother was doing.
"Well, you know Cassandra and I are getting married. Would she want to come if we invited her? She's technically family." Ross said grabbed his hammer off the ground and banging another nail into the wall. "That should do it."
"Oh, probably." I said answered his question. "Oh actually, there's something I've been meaning to ask you..." I said nervously running my hands up and down my thighs.
"If you're asking for my permission to marry my daughter-" How did he know? Do I really look that nervous. "Son. I gave you my acceptance a long time ago." He said and patted my shoulder. "I like you. You're good for my daughter. But maybe, this is just some advice, wait until the time is right." He smiled and shook my hand.
"That means a lot. Thank you." I smiled. I ran my fingers through my curls. I followed him back downstairs.
"Ready to go?" Amy asked as I met her at the end of the stairwell.
"Yep." I nonchalantly said and look her by her hand.
"Anthony! I packed Rapunzel so we can watch it tonight." Charlie squealed swinging her backpack on her shoulders.
"Dope. I'm so excited." I smiled at her.
"And Anthony. Look what I learnt." She giggled and then dabbed.
"Whoa. Lil C. You're the best. I think you're better at dabbing than me." I said as we began to leave the house.
"Really?" She skipped.
"Yeah."
"I saw you on TV do it. I've been practising."
"No way. I can tell you've be practicing." We all opened in the car and Charlie put her seat belt on.
"Can we listen to the soundtrack again?" Charlie asked and I turned around to look at her.
"What soundtrack?"
"Hamilton. Duh." She said like I was stupid.
"Sure."
"But only I can sing. No one else." Charlie demanded. I looked at Amy and she giggled. I plugged my phone into the aux cord and it began to play.
"Bim bidada- bim bim bim." Charlie said excitedly as the first song came on.
"I'm sorry." Amy mouthed. I leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"It's alright."
"No! No kissing. You have to drive." Charlie groaned. I placed my hand back on Amy's knee and began to drive with Charlie singing in the back seat.
"Look around. Look around." Charlie sang as she skipped up the stairs to Amy's apartment.
"Charlie. Isn't that-"
"Chick-a-plao!" Charlie said and put up her fingers in the shapes of guns. Amy following us laughing the whole time we walked up the fire escape stairs.
"You sister is going to annoy me so much." I chuckled.
"Hey she loves you." Amy told me as she opened the door. "But I love you more." She smirked as she shut the door.
"I know you do." I smirked as I place sky hand son her hips and pulled her closer to me. I placed my lips on her neck and began to leave a trail of kissing up her next and her jaw.
"When are we going to Lin's? I'm bored already." Charlie asked crossing her arms and walking over to us. Amy sighed.
"Charlie. Do you act like this around Dad?" Amy asked her younger sister. She put her head down in shame. "No."
"Then don't be rude to Anthony, okay?"
"Well when you marry him, then I'll stop being mean to him." Whoa. Where'd this come from? I panicked. No Anthony. Stay calm.
"You know Charlie, we're going to visit my mom tomorrow, and if you're not nice to me, I'm going to tell her to not make those buñuelos you like." I teased her. Charlie gasped.
"I'll be good. I promise." She squealed and she wan off to Lin's place. During the ride Charlie continued to sing. I titled my head to face Amy as 'My Shot' began to start.
"She's going to kill you." You giggled and I chuckled.
"Hey Charlie." I said and looked at her in the mirror. "Rise up! When you're living in your knees, you rise up. Tell you brother that he's gotta rise up." I pointed to Amy. "Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up."
"When are these colonies gonna rise up?" Charlie shouted. I joined in.
"You two are so embarrassing." Amy muttered as she filmed what was happening.
We all sat around Lin and Vanessa's apartment chatting away. Nicolette shouted 'The lovers are here' when we entered the apartment. Charlie skipped off to colour in with Daveed, Pip, Jasmine and Sebastian.
"Lin. After your last show I'm going to get you so drunk that you're going to sing ignition all night long." Amy said as she sat on my lap.
"That's the best song ever." Lin cheered.
"So, who else is leaving on the 9th?" Vanessa asked her husband.
"Pip, Leslie, Ariana and Nick." He said sipping on his alcoholic choice.
"Guys! We've gotta do more shots out of the Grammy!" Daveed shouted in our faces. "Come on Amy! This is your favourite way to get drunk."
"I'm not drinking tonight." Amy smiled as I rubbed my thumb against her hip.
"What? That's so unlike you." Andrew shrugged.
"Ohmygod. Are you pregnant?" Daveed joked. Amy sighed.
"I'm not pregnant. Daveed." Amy groaned. "I'm just choosing not to drink tonight. I don't see you annoying Vanessa about not drinking." Amy spat at Daveed.
"Babe. Don't get mad." I whispered.
"But his so annoying." Amy whispered back.
"Hey Amy. Can I speak to you, privately?" Nicolette asked.
"Sure." Amy said and felt a kiss on my cheek and left with Nicolette.
"What's got your girlfriend all up in a knot?" Daveed asked.
"Do you want me to punch you again?" I asked him.
"Whoa. Dude. Just chill."
"Why don't I play the album?" Lin stood up before a fight or an argument broke out. During the listening of the album, everyone would point out what song they were in.
"This next song was sung by, Opetaia and Amy." Lin said as he played 'Logo Te Pate'. Heaps of people murmured around. "I don't know Amy could sing." "What's she saying?" "Is she seeing in Maori?" "No it sounds Samoan."
After the whole album was completed- Lin skipped a bunch of songs- I went back to Amy's apartment and she and Nicolette were still talking in the couch. Nicolette sipping her wine.
"It would mean a heap if you came." She smiled at Amy.
"Ou totally. We'll be there. Right babe?" Amy asked me.
"W-where?" I asked sitting down on the sofa couch.
"Nicolette's doing a 54 below show."
"It would mean a heap of you guys came."
"We'll be there. For sure." I added.
"Anthony you could perform with her." Amy unexpectedly said. I was taken aback.
"That would be awesome to do a duet with you actually." Nicolette smiled.
"Awesome." I said and hi fived her.
I lay in bed with Amy lying on my chest. It was a warmer night than we expected. The door suddenly opened. I almost shit myself.
"Amy. Can I come in?" Charlie asked wearing her sleeping gown, cuddling her plush rabbit.
"Amy's asleep. What's up?" I asked Charlie quietly.
"I-I had a bad dream. Can I please sleep in here with you?" Charlie asked walking over to the side of the bed I was on.
"Sure." I said and she jumped up and cuddled into me.
"Thank you Anthony. You're the best." Charlie whispered. "We're going to be okay now rabbit. There aren't any scary monsters in this room. Anthony will look after us." Charlie whispered to that plush rabbit of hers. I smiled and placed a kiss on her head.
"Get some sleep alright Charls." I said and shut my eyes.
