The rehearsal had been followed by a Q & A session, and they hadn't finished until almost ten o'clock. Shane waited until the halls were clear and people were starting to go to sleep. By the time he went to Audrey's room, it was close to midnight.

He knocked softly, not wanting to wake her if she was asleep. She opened the door, wearing a pink pair of boy shorts that showed off her long, toned legs, and a white tank top. She didn't have any makeup on, but she was still just as beautiful.

"Were you sleeping?" he asked.

"No, I was just watching a movie," she smiled.

"Do you wanna go swimming?"

"I think the pool closed at ten," she replied.

"They're gonna make an exception," he told her, trying his hardest not to obviously check her out.

Audrey looked at him, suspiciously. "Why?"

He couldn't tell her the truth. "I asked really nicely."

She smiled, running her fingers through her hair. "Okay. I just have to change…I'll meet you down there?"

"Perfect," he grinned. "I'll see you in a few minutes."

Shane hurried back to his room to change into his swimming trunks. He pulled on a hoodie and got back on the elevator, traveling to the first floor. He headed towards the pool, waving to the employee who had agreed to let them in the pool. Audrey wasn't there yet, so he pulled off his hoodie and got into the water. He didn't need anyone walking by the room and recognizing him through the windows.

"Is it cold?" Audrey asked when she walked in, pulling off her shorts to reveal a pink bikini.

Shane looked her up and down, not caring at this point if she noticed. "No, it's perfect."

She dipped her foot in cautiously.

"Don't be a baby," he laughed. "Get in."

"It's cold!" she whined.

He sighed dramatically. "Don't make me come up there and get you."

"You wouldn't."

He pointed a threatening finger at her, jokingly, and climbed up the metal ladder. She screamed and scurried away as he chased her.

"Okay, I'm sorry," he said sincerely, stopping near the side of the pool. "Really, I'm sorry."

She looked at him suspiciously.

"Come here," he said. "Audrey, I'm sorry, come here, please."

She walked towards him slowly.

He wrapped his arms around her waist. She didn't stop him, which made his heart skip a beat. "Forgive me?"

She nodded. "I forgive you."

"Good," he smiled, tightening his grip on her and jumping into the pool, taking her with him.

"I hate you!" she screamed once she came to the surface.

He shook his head. "No, I don't think you do."

"Oh, you don't, huh?" she grinned, pushing him underwater.

He pulled her under with him, tickling her furiously. When they came up, they were only inches from each other.

Shane wanted to kiss her more than anything, but he panicked. He had never had trouble getting any girl he wanted, but he knew that was because he was famous. Since Audrey didn't know that, he had no idea how to act. He felt like his confidence had been cut in half.

She splashed some water at him, and he knew he had missed his chance. She swam towards the stairs of the pool and sat down. He followed, sitting down close to her.

"So…" Shane started, not really having anything to follow it with.

"Yes?"

He shrugged. "Tell me something nobody knows about you."

"Um…" she thought. "I'm terrified of birds."

"No you're not," he laughed.

"Yes I am!" she promised.

"Why?"

"I don't know," she told him. "I just always have been. Now you."

"Something no one knows about me?" he smirked, scooting closer to her. His confidence was a little higher now that she had told him a secret, and he knew he had to make his move before he backed out again. "I think you're beautiful."

Audrey smiled. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," he replied. "Now I have a question for you."

"Okay."

He smiled at her nervously. "Do you think it would it be okay if I kissed you?"

"Hmm…" she pretended to think very hard. "I guess that would be okay."

"I was hoping you'd say that," he smirked.

Shane touched her cheek gently and leaned towards her until his lips met hers. He instantly felt the spark he had known was there surge through him. He deepened the kiss.

He heard someone clear their throat loudly. He broke this kiss, very reluctantly, and turned towards the noise. It was the employee who had opened the pool for them; he pointed to his watch.

"Thanks," Shane called, obviously annoyed. "They made me promise we'd only be in here for a half hour."

She smiled. "Why did they really let us in here?"

"Um…the manager is an old friend of my dad's," he lied.

He stood up and held his hand out to her, pulling her to her feet. They walked to the table where their towels were and dried off, pulling their clothes on over their suits. He rested his hand on her lower back as they walked to the elevator.

"So…I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked as they reached his floor.

"You better," Audrey smiled.

He kissed her again sweetly, stopping only when the doors began to close. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight," she replied, disappearing from his sight.

Shane strolled back to his room happily, trying to decide what they could do the next day. It was harder than it should have been; everywhere a guy usually takes a girl on a date, people would recognize him. He brushed his teeth and changed into a pair of large sweatpants before climbing into bed and replaying the day in his head. He had stopped dreaming long ago of finding a girl who didn't know he was a rock star, but now that he'd found one, especially one as incredible as Audrey, he didn't want to let her get away. But he could only keep his true identity a secret for so long…then what?
