"Babe, wake up. It's time for us to get ready for the show." Monte mumbled. "Hm?" I said, rubbing my eyes. "Get up." Mike shouted. "Meaner." I said, sticking my tongue out. Monte hugged me closer, and kissed my neck. "C'mon. I'll take you home so you can get some clothes. We've got makeup here, thanks to TJ. Wanna go?" He asked. "Yeah, sure" I smiled. He held out his hand, and I took it. He opened the door, and led me out. "Now onward to your house." He smiled. "Alright," I said, smiling back. "What road do you live on?" He asked as we got to the sidewalk. "Aventura Avenue." I said, pulling him past Starbucks. "What color's your house?" "White. It's kinda big. I have 3 bedrooms, but I live alone. One room I kinda turned into a studio. My piano is in there, and so are all of my guitars and microphones. I'll show you." I said, as we approached my house. It was Sunny today, and it was warm. It was only 10 am, but it was nice out. I opened the door and let him come in. "You have a nice house." He smiled. "Not really. C'mon, I'll show you my studio, and then my tiny ass room." I said, pulling him up the stairs. I took him down the hallway, and to the last room. My studio. The walls were red, the carpet was black, and the trim on the windows and door was white. There were guitars on the wall, and a black finished piano in the corner. I had a shelf full of guitar and piano books. "Do you know how to read music?" Monte asked. "Yeah." I smiled. "Can you play me a song?" "Yeah!" I smiled wider. I sat down at my piano, and opened up the book in front of it. I flipped to a song by Yiruma. "Ever heard of 'River Flows In You'?" I asked. "Nope." Monte said, sitting down next to me on the bench. I put my hands on the keys and began playing. I got lost in the sounds. "Caity, that was.... Wow." Monte said. "I can play piano, but not that well." He said. "It's really easy." I said. "It was beautiful." "Thank you." I smiled. "You know what else is beautiful?" "Hmm?" I said. "You are." He said, leaning in closer. I wanted to push him back against the wall and kiss him. It's like he read my mind. His hand found its way to my jaw, and he pulled me closer to him. He looked into my eyes. "You're extremely beautiful." He said. I put my fingers on his jaw. "Thank you." I smiled. "May I?" He asked. Bringing his face closer to mine. "You may." I said, making our lips barely touch. He sealed the space, and our lips touched. There was so much running through my head. He was so cute, and so nice. I just met him yesterday though. I pulled away to breathe. I looked into his beautiful brown eyes. "Monte..." "We need to get ready to go." He said. "Right." I said. I got up from the piano bench and he followed me to my room. "Your room is tiny." He laughed. "Hey, don't mock it." I smiled. "We need to get back to the hotel. Grab some clothes, and whatever else you wanna bring." Monte said. "Alright!" I smiled. I grabbed a pair of black shorts and a Slipknot tanktop. I grabbed a pair of aviator sunglasses, and a pair of Pentagram gauges. I put them in, and walked across the hall to my bathroom. "Stay there!" I shouted to Monte before I closed the door. "Okay!" He shouted back. I smiled, and changed into the shorts and tanktop. I looked in the mirror. I liked what I saw. Except my hair, but I'd do something with that later. I opened the door again. I walked back into my room. "Whatcha doin', Monte?" I asked, looking at him sitting in front of my CD tower. "Oh, just... Looking at your CDs. You've got great taste in music." "Thanks." I smiled. "C'mon, you ready to go?" He asked, standing up. "Yeah. Let's go." I said. We made our way out of my house, and back onto the the road. "Uhm... Caitlin... I wanted to say something." Monte said. "Yes?" I asked, curious. "I...." He began.
