It was hard to believe the luck Zack was having. Not only did he get to skip a few classes because of his college's performance of Les Miserable's, but his crush Sara scored one of the leads. As the head stage manager, he would get to have almost unfettered access to Sara whenever he wanted to for the sake of the production. Fantine's part was one of the hardest and Sara asked Zack for extra help to not only get use to the lines, but also to get used to the multitude of stage movements. During the few weeks of rehearsals, it took all of Zack's abilities to actually concentrate on the production as a whole and less on the fair Sara.
Many times, Zack would catch himself staring at Sara just noticing her features. Sara's dark brown colored hair came softly down past her shoulders and framed her porcelain face. Her eyes of hazel were gentle as the lights hit them and also showed the wetness upon her naturally red lips. She had gentle sloping cheek bones that weren't too high like many of the models of the day wore. Her figure was the reason she won the part. She had the curves in all the right places that made Zack dizzy when he imagined tracing his fingers across them. There were many of night where Zack imagined that Sara was his personal submissive and the acts they committed together almost made Zack a daily fixture at the local discount store to buy sheets.
It was on one such night during Zack's daydreams that the director was extremely ticked at Sara for losing her place yet again. Zack felt sorry because of how hard the songs were to learn and how even the most seasoned of actors had a difficult time to remember it all as well as the movements. After the practice ended, Sara walked up to Zack almost hypnotizing him in place with her walk. He almost didn't hear her ask him for help until she coughed and grabbed his attention. It was a blur whose idea it was to go back to Zack's dorm room to practice. Zack had the Broadway version on DVD so she could watch it. They spent the night watching it as Zack did his best not to make a move. Sara was kind and pleasant as she left towards home and Zack felt a sigh of relief.
That night, Zack's roommate started giving him grief over the fact he couldn't pass first base with Sara. Zack felt a little ashamed until his buddy told him where he hid his love making kit. As Zack dug in, he found a red flogger that felt like silk in his hands. Zack wasn't a virgin by any means. But the thought of using the flogger and the crop along Sara's gorgeous ass was a little more than a turn on.
The next night after practice, Sara walked with Zack to the dorm room to see how to perform "I Dreamed a Dream". As they entered the room, Zack noticed that his roommate left all his gear on his bed including the flogger. Zack started trying to figure out an excuse as Sara noticed the different tools. Sara started to take the flogger in her hand and feel the strands. Zack held his breath as he saw Sara looking inquisitively over all the tools.
