The smell of salt woke me from my peaceful slumber, a I turned to my bedside alarm clock and decided that I should probably go for a run before it got too hot outside. I dragged myself out of bed and tied my hair up in a messy ponytail and changed into some tennis shoes and running clothes, grabbing a bottle of water along the way out of my house.

I opened the door and was welcomed with a fresh, salty and slightly chilly breeze but that only motivated me more as I ran across the path at the top of the beach, I timed myself and found that I had a new personal best of 15 minutes – it probably wasn't the best I could do but it was all I was willing to do for the moment.

I came back in and showered quickly, I was just washing the conditioner out of my hair when I dropped the conditioner bottle as it slipped out of my hands.

WAS I GOING ON A DATE WITH JOEY PARKER?

Joey was standing right in my house with his hands in his pockets waiting for me to get changed and finally show myself having not seen me since Friday, I was debating on whether to actually show myself because I didn't know what was going on with us.

We are not together Tailynn get that into your head, I heard my conscience tell me as I grabbed my keys deciding that I should go out with him, he probably can't remember what it's like going out when nobody knows you.

"Sorry I had to fight with a window that wouldn't shut" I lied, it was my everyday thing fighting with windows cuz they were so stiff.

He smirked, "You know that sounds totally normal considering its you" he said.

"Thanks, you must know what I'm like then" I said .

"I do and I like that about you" he said, don't blush, don't blush. We looked at each other for a long time until I changed the subject.

"I trust you with my keys" I said dropping them in his hands and pulling his arm walking out of the door and shutting it, he put his sunglasses on and they weren't his usual ones, that was how much I attention I paid to him.

I put my aviators on and I pointed to my car still holding his arm, I wasn't too sure why but he didn't pull away.

"Nice" he said approving of my car.

"This is what I get for my birthday when my parents are in Japan" I said.

I let go of his arm as we got in and he had to move the seat backwards, "So have any ideas where we could go?".

"I bet you haven't been anywhere without someone almost passing out over seeing you" I said, "Anywhere you want, we're going to have to get food at some point and I strongly suggest something where girls aren't".

"Well I'm pretty sure that half the population here is of the female gender seeing as I'm in the car with one right now".

"We're gonna have to get food at some point so I strongly advise going somewhere where girls aren't in case they pass out once they see you" I said.

"Relax nobody's gonna see me" he said, "We can think about food later, how about we just find a place and talk?".

"Yeah there's some really nice views if you know where to find them" I said, "You're driving you can decide".

I didn't realise that he was already driving and soon black vans were behind us when we stopped at the lights so it was a good job Joey didn't take his car.

"I'm getting annoyed with them and they're not even following us" I said.

"This is my whole life don't complain" he said turning off at the junction and finding a place to talk.

"Let's not play 20 questions cuz it's impossible to come up with that many questions" he said, "But ask me anything and I will in turn ask you anything".

"Ask me first" I said turning in my seat to face him.

"How long have you been dancing?" he asked.

"Um, since I first started walking probably and professionally since I was about 14" I shrugged.

"How old are you now then?" he asked.

"19" I said, "I didn't need to go to college cuz I did extra things for my senior year of high school, and I don't know why I'm telling you this cuz you've asked me 2 questions now".

"You know a lot about me already" he shrugged, "Have you always lived in LA?".

"Pretty Much" I nodded, "What's your favourite colour?".

"Blue" he answered.

"Have you always lived in LA?" I asked.

"I've been everywhere, I think I was born in Canada then I lived in Toronto for a while then moved to LA about ten years ago".

"Have you ever written any songs?" I asked.

"And you're the first girl I've spoken to who doesn't know all of them" he smiled, "I've never written an entire song, I've done parts of a couple".

"And to answer your coming question, I know a few but I don't obsess over you hoping that we'd get married someday".

"Yeah these fans are weird who think that, I mean they're cute but I find it weird when some of them are like ten" He said.

We talked more and decided it was time to get food so we left the car where it was and walked through a few streets finally settling on a hot dog stand on one of the quieter streets. Joey took the sunglasses off, "Someone will see you" I said.

"Quit worrying Tailynn" he said, "No one will see us here and if they do they'll just think we're both normal people just eating food".

"If you end up putting us on the front pages I will not be happy" I said, I could hear someone playing music so after we started eating he asked me to dance with him.

"Joey it's my weekend off" I whined.

"It's mine too and if you like dancing you'll do it as much as you can" he said, "You're good at it so why stop when you have time off?".

"Just this once cuz no one can see us" I said putting my food down and taking his hand held out for me as we tangoed in the middle of nowhere as far as I knew.

"That wasn't so bad was it?" he asked as we sat back down on the wall.

"When did you learn to dance like that?" I asked him.

"My mom used to do it a lot and I just remember it" He shrugged, "How did you know what to do?".

"I learnt some basic steps a few years ago" I shrugged, "I just trusted you with not dropping me".

"That ending" he said eating some more food, "That's what I was trying to describe on Friday but I didn't really know how to word it".

"I could tell that" I smiled.

"Which is probably why you zoned out so quickly" he said.

"I had food in front of me and I was trying to imagine what the heck you were on about" I said, " I like it".

"Well the shows in two weeks" he said, I almost opened my mouth in shock but knew I had food in it.

"Two weeks?" I exclaimed, "That's barely enough time".

"Relax we can make it work, we haven't got that far to go" he said, "After this you'll be good to go and have more free evenings".

I didn't want that though, usually I didn't like other artists but I liked Joey a lot I have to confess, I just didn't want to tell him right now.

Maybe the next time we go out like this I will.

"We should do this again" I said, "It was fun".

"Next time I'm leaving the sunglasses at home" he said, "It'll be more fun knowing we have to watch where we go".

He drove back to mine and put the car back where it was before and walked me to my door, "Don't have a fight with the windows tomorrow" he said and we hugged.

"It's them not me" I said thinking about kissing him.

"See you Monday" He said.

"See you Monday" I repeated.

He walked off and I looked down to see his sunglasses in my hands, I thought about calling him back but I couldn't see him so he must've walked quite quickly. They didn't really look that expensive, in fact I'm pretty sure they're identical to a pair that I used to own before I snapped them after sitting on them.

I laughed at the memory and realised that Joey was too much like me and I could picture him doing the same as me, I shut my door leaving the sunglasses on the table and heading up to my bathroom thinking about a nice hot bath to unwind and forget about any troubles I had.

Of course I remembered that I was back in work in a day, I also remembered Joey telling me that if I loved dancing so much I shouldn't really stop on my days off and planned to go through another dance we were doing tomorrow morning after I woke up.

I went through the answer machine and tons of messages came through and one of them was from my parents reminding me that I had to go to my mum's friend's daughter's birthday party tomorrow.

And this daughter hated my guts, so I knew this would be the worst day of my life.
