The clicking clack of your heels was a dead giveaway to what was coming up behind him, Alexei turned only to be downright attacked by a hug.

“Goodluck on the play Alex! We will do absolutely fantastic.”

Your voice rang out in his ears. The palm of his hands against your own as you held his hands reassuringly. He could practically faint due to the close proximity, but thankfully he composed himself right as you skipped off to go to your spot backstage.

Alexei had known you since freshman year, he fell in love headfirst due to his own clumsiness. He would constantly confuse you for your sisters since you were a triplet. He even memorized your body language to be able to tell you apart from your sisters, but unfortunately found out you had yet another sister that looked like a carbon copy so he went with his gut most of the time. And his gut seemed to know you like the back of its flesh.

“Good-good luck to you to.”

He stammered out as you left. He felt like an idiot, he just never seemed to act normal around you huh? Your sisters were into blunt rowdy or cold men. He didn’t even know if he was your type anyways. He could only hope that the kissing scene you and him would preform could change your feelings about him.
