"Pull it together Bleu and knock on the door." He told himself.
Taking a deep breath, his hand connected with the door, resulting in a knock he hoped she was able to hear. He turned away from the door, anxious and desperately trying to calm himself down, waiting for her to answer the door.
"Hey you."
Turning fully back around, he saw her standing there in the door frame. He stopped breathing for a minute when his eyes met the sight of her. She was wearing a black v-neck dress with faint olive green floral prints covering it with an umpire waist and cap sleeves, her hair was in flowing loose curls, and her eyes and smile seemed to glow beneath the moonlight.
"Hey. You look, amazing."
"Thank you. So do you."
"This is for you." He then pulled a long-stemmed single white rose from behind his back and handed it to her.
"Very slick. Thank you. How did you know I loved white roses?"
"Lucky guess?" He answered slyly.
"Right. So where are you taking me?"
"It's a surprise."
"Mysterious aren't you?"
"That's how I play it." He popped his collar to match his arrogent, smooth tone. She just laughed before grabbing a light matching sweater and closing the door behind them. He took her arm, wrapping it around his as he led them to his car, both of them smiling the entire way.
The car ride was a cause of discovery for them. They found they had similar interests in music and favorite artists. She even got him to put his own CD on so she could hear it. She told him her favorite songs were 'Marchin' for its great beat and 'She Could Be' because of its romantic sweetness. Corbin couldn't help but think of Amanda when 'she Could Be' came on because it made him think of her, even before she named it her favorite.
When they reached their destination, Amanda had been trying get him to cave and tell her where they were going but he didn't cave, she was shocked to where they were. It was a restraunt called Noir(totally made it up) and it was her favorite in the entire city and probably planet.
"I remembered you telling me once you loved this place because it transpoted you back into old Hollywood, your favorite era."
"I can't believe you remembered.'
"I rememebered a lot."
"So did I." Since meeting, it seemed constant smiles came over their faces, this was no exception.
After dinner, Corbin drove them to the beach where they were currntly walking along. Both had shed their shoes, loving the feeling of the sand between their toes and the cool sea breeze.
"So you're really close to your family? I think that's wonderful."
"Yeah. They're really important to me. What about you?"
"Well, there's my dad who I love more then anything. And I'm his only child, so we're really close."
"What about your mom?"
"Um, she and my stepdad live up north and I go to visit a couple times a year. I call and talk to her a lot. But I'm not as close to her as I was."
"Why's that?"
"I don't know. The same thing happened between her and my older sister Chris. Only I actually still talk to mom now."
"Are you close with your sister?"
"I am now. When I was a kid, she really didn't like me that much. But when she got older, I guess she learned to appreciate her little sister and we started talking. She's in a band with some friends and they're touring the country doing small gigs and stuff."
"And what about school?"
"I've been dancing for a long time now and continued it even though I was homeschooled from eighth grade through high school. After graduating, with honors by the way, I decided I wanted to make dance my life. So I moved down here, got some connections from my sister and landed my first job as an assistant to a ballet chorographer."
"You do ballet?"
"I do. maybe I'll show you my moves some time."
"Looking forward to that."
"Are you talking about seeing me dance or seeing me in tights?"
"Both." He said grinning.
"You're very cute you know that?"
"And you're very beautiful."
They had stopped walking at this point and there was a mere inch separating their bodies. Gazing longingly into each other's eyes, Corbin reached out his hand to gently stroke her cheek. And as Amanda ran her hand up the side of his arm, currently wrapped around her waist, they slowly leaned in, capturing each other's lips in a tender kiss.
A/N: okay, this is all I've written in my documents and I'm not sure how to continue. If you wnat me to continue, I need some ideas. Thanks!
