Hi guys! Here's the new chapter! I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for all the nice comments and suggestion, keep them coming! :)
The next morning I woke up and realized I was snuggled into Amy. She looked extremely uncomfortable and I know her neck is going to hurt when she wakes up. I smiled at Amy when she said, "You're staring."
"Well, can you really blame me?" I said as she opened her eyes to meet mine.
She smiled and kissed my forehead, "I thought you weren't interested in me and wanted to keep this strictly business." Amy said mockingly.
"I think it's too late for that, don't you think?" I said with my eyebrow raised.
Amy laughed, "How about we hit the shower?" She said nonchalantly as I gave her a look. "I mean separately you pervert…unless-."
"-No!" I said laughing pulling her up with me. I heard her groan as she rubbed her neck and I knew that would happen. "Why didn't you tell me you were uncomfortable the whole night?"
"Because you were comfortable." She said causally.
"Well maybe I can fix that." I said sitting her down on the couch as I sat on her lap straddling her. I started kissing her neck as she bit her lip. I smiled against her neck and pulled away, "As much as I would love to continue, we only have an hour to get ready and be at the hotel." I said and Amy pouted. I smiled and walked to my room. She followed me and leaned against the doorframe crossing her arms staring at me. I picked out some sweats and a t-shirt from my closet and walked into the bathroom right after I winked at Amy. I took a quick shower and got ready; when I walked out of the bathroom I saw a note on the bed. I walked over to see what it said, "Hey love, I had to leave to get a change of clothes from my house, but I'll meet you at the hotel. You have my car, so you can bring that there. See you soon, Amy x."
I grabbed a quick breakfast as I headed to the hotel. There weren't many photographers here today just more fans. I guess the whole "We aren't dating" thing actually worked and they didn't care for a music video. I parked where I always did and headed to the ballroom. Lauren was worrying about something and I don't know what it was. I saw Amy stretching and decided to join her.
"Hey. I haven't seen you in ages." I said as Amy smiled at me.
"Hey. The tweet I sent yesterday worked. People think the pictures are photoshopped, so you are safe and out of the spotlight a little." Amy said and I was actually happy, I didn't have to worry about people finding me.
"That's great, but that means we can't be seen together either." I said and Amy nodded.
"Hey Amy and Karma! I'm happy you worked out your differences. It's less I have to worry about. Let's practice what we learned yesterday and learn the last minute today. Cool?" Lauren said cheerfully.
Both Amy and I nodded and walked over to the dance floor. There were many flips and lifting but Amy managed to succeed at all of the moves. I loved this one move where I'm facing away from Amy, and her left arm is wrapped around my stomach and she lifts me twisting me around her back. It was fun and different, but most of these moves were.
I also adored this move when I was lying on the floor with my feet up, and Amy was standing right above me holding my legs, and as she holds both of my legs, she moves them on either side of her once and throws them around her waist as she bends to grabs my lower back to pull me up to her slowly. It was so passionate and loving.
Candice came later to help us learn the last minute. I was both happy and sad that it was the ending. I was sad because that meant I wouldn't see Amy everyday but then again I was happy that I didn't have to dance my butt off everyday. The last minute wasn't so bad. Amy looked like she didn't want to dance anymore, but we still had to practice.
The ending move is both of us sitting on the ground holding hands and Amy lying down with me by her side as my head is on her chest, which I find to be adorable.
Lauren called for a break so we could get something to eat and Amy ran up to Lauren and picked her up. I laughed as Lauren was yelling at Amy but then gave in and laughed.
Amy and I stayed in the hotel so that no one could see us outside and risk people assuming we are together. We went to the restaurant on the 10th floor and got a table. Amy held out my chair for me and I thanked her. She smiled and sat down in front of me looking around the restaurant. The restaurant had an amazing view of Downtown LA. I was looking outside when I felt someone staring at me. I smiled and turned to Amy and she was, in fact, looking at me smiling.
"Why do you always look at me like that?" I asked curiously.
"Because you look beautiful and so much like Katie." Amy said smiling.
"Katie?" I asked not knowing who that was until Amy said it was the first girl she fell in love with.
"Really? You never told me her name. She must've been really pretty then." I said jokingly but Amy said, "She was, and so are you." I blushed and she smiled widely.
"What was she like?" I looked over at Amy.
"She was exactly like you. She was sassy and witty. She never took my shit, ever! She was a complete badass and I loved that about her. She hated when I tried to protect her, because she was so independent, like you. But, most importantly she saw the real me and accepted all of me, and I loved that about her." She said looking into my eyes as I smiled.
The waiter came over to ask what we wanted and I didn't know what to order so Amy ordered for me. She told me I would love it and I took her word for it. We continued talking about who our favorite superheroes were and both of us said Batman from DC Comics, while I had to pick Captain America and Iron Man from Marvel and she chose Peggy Carter and Black Widow.
Our food came and she was right about me liking whatever she ordered me. Amy reached over to wipe something off my face and I smiled at her gratefully. She winked in return and asked me, "Who is your favorite artist?"
I, without hesitation, said, "Ed Sheeran." She pretended to be hurt and said, "Whoa, if that wasn't a knife to the chest." I laughed and she told me hers was the same. If we both had to choose one it would be Ed. I told her how much I've wanted to meet him and go to his concerts but I could never get tickets.
Amy took the check and I glared at her to let me pay, and she suggested that we played rock, paper, and scissors to see who would pay. I won, but Amy practically ran to the front to pay. I was angry that see paid but laughed at her for almost tripping to pay for us. We went downstairs to the ballroom and sat there until everyone came back from break.
We practiced from beginning to end about 10 times when Lauren was sure we got the moves. Amy was drained as I was too. I was so tired I might just sleep here tonight. Amy and I walked out to the parking garage when I told her she needed to take her car back and she told me I still had one more day to use it. I smiled at her and she opened the door to her car for me as I hopped in. She waved bye to me and I drove off.
Shane was coming over to talk things over about Amy and I and I didn't want to lie to him but I didn't have a choice.
"So, the photos were fakes?" Shane said looking at me suspiciously.
"Yes, Shane for the 100th time they were fake!"
"Okay, I trust you." He said giving up and I felt guilty for lying all of a sudden.
"Thank you! Now, tell me about you and Duke." I said changing the subject. He went on and on about them two and I started daydreaming about Amy. I wonder what she was doing.
Just when I thought that, I got a text from an unknown number and my first instinct was to ask who it was. After a couple of seconds I got a text back saying it was Amy and that she got my number from Lauren. I smiled and asked her what she was doing. She texted saying she was just lying in bed when she thought of me and decided to text me and I told her I was thinking about her too. Shane left an hour ago and Amy and I talked for a couple more hours when we told each other it was getting late and we should sleep for the big day tomorrow.
Tomorrow was the last day and the day of the recording. I was super nervous and anxious about it, but knowing that Amy was right by my side made me alright with the situation.
