I followed her outside and we sat by the pool. She was quiet and it made me nervous. She took off her flip flops and put her feet in the pool and smiled. I rolled up my jeans and pulled off my sneakers and socks doing the same. She looked at me, pleased that I relaxed enough to do that and started.
"What do you think about us?" She asked quickly. It caught me off guard, I wasn't expecting that. I released my breath, unaware I was holding it in the first place, and glanced at her. "I think you're amazing Ana. This week with you has been the best week off I've had in a very long time." I said looking at her as she stared at the pool. "No" she shook her head, "I mean us, what do you expect from this?" She sounded frustrated and that bothered me. "Do we just go back to life like nothing happened?" She continued. I could tell she wasn't done and sat listening, "I mean I can't just go back home and pretend like I didn't just spend an incredible week with Adam Levine. I mean that's not something you forget easily." She smiled and I could see where she was going. "Oh now I get it," I said softly. I looked behind me hearing noises and saw the guys pressed against the glass. I chuckled and got up leading her to a corner that was a blind spot to the house. "Okay I don't know how to explain this. I mean talking about my feelings doesn't come easy, I mean not with girls, with the guys it's different entirely, we joke and make fun of each other, so work with me here." She watched me intently, "this is going to be so corny to quote my own lyrics but its all I can think to do. 'I know I don't know you but I want you... So bad'". I looked at her hoping she remembered the song and without missing a beat she continued, "everyone has a secret but can they keep it. Oh no they can't" she smiled and nodded her head understanding. I smiled and moved quickly to kiss her.

I smiled, at least he tried to explain in his own words, I laughed to myself. Suddenly he leaned down to kiss me. I jumped and side stepped avoiding him. Now I was grateful he pulled us over here. The guys would given him a hard time for that. I looked at him and his smile fell. That was the last thing I wanted, I didn't want to hurt him, but I did. He took my hand and slowly moved it to his lips, "this okay?" He asked hesitantly and I nodded. His lips pressed against my hand and I closed my eyes, a smile on my face. His lips were soft and smooth, perfect. He chuckled softly as he looked back up at me. "Sorry" he whispered. "It's okay" I managed. Why couldn't I just forget, it was 5 years ago and I am still stressing about it so bad that I can't even handle a kiss.
I shook the thought and looked at him, "so..." I said looking in to his hazel eyes. "I want to take you on a real date before we set plans in stone about our future" he said. His words caught me off guard but I agreed. With that we said goodbye to the guys and he drove me back to the hotel.
Per his instructions I changed into my favorite outfit, my ripped jeans, a pink oversized comfy tee tied back with a hair elastic and my converse, and took off all of my make up. After repacking everything but my hair brush, toothbrush, and toothpaste I left the room and met him in the lobby. He returned in a pair of jeans that were ripped worse than mine, a superman tee, Jordan's, and a ratty looking black sweater. We looked at each other and laughed. We linked arms and headed out the door. As we reached the car he asked "explain your outfit." I looked at him and he explained "why is that your favorite?" He asked. "Ohh well these are my favorite jeans because after wearing them for so long they started to wear out and when my friends and I were running and jumping fences they ripped. It was so much fun that I didn't really care." He looked at me, "why were you jumping fences?" "Why not" I answered. He laughed as I continued, "the shirt is just from when I was going through a hard time. I found it and I loved it but they didn't have it in my size so I bought the only one they had left, it's 2 sizes too big but I mainly used it to hide back then now I tie it back and it is still just as comfy." I said and stared at him as he parked in front of a park.

I parked the car and got out and opened her door for her. Her smile filled me with butterflies. "Come on" I said and linked arms with her again. "Okay my turn" I started as we walked the path, "this shirt is my favorite because I mean its superman! Why wouldn't this be my favorite! Superman is awesome and he is the best super hero ever!" I exclaimed. She laughed and said, "no way black widow is so much better! Hell even hawk eye is better!" I put my hand to my heart mocking her, "ugh how could you!" She laughed and hit me playfully telling me to continue. "Well aside from superhero differences I think we'll be good." I laughed and continued, "these jeans are my favorite because I lived in them practically when we first started out, I wore them every night on stage and washed them just about every morning. Don't ask me why, they were kind of like a good luck charm. These were the ones I had on when we got signed so I figured if I wear them at every show we'll be successful." I shrugged, "it's amazing they still fit" she giggled. "As for the sweater I don't know why it is my favorite, it just kind of is."
After we talked about random things, pretty much whatever came into our heads and it was great. We reached this little shack and I walked her in. We looked at me until she looked around. It was this old diner that served the best burgers. She smiled and we found a booth in the back. We ate and laughed.
~Analise's pov~
God he is perfect! I thought to myself. If this is his idea of a real date then he is nothing like I imagined. We finished eating and he paid, like the gentleman he is, and we walked back. We passed by the swings again and I ran to grab one. It was late and no one was around. He laughed as he followed me. He stood on one as he started swinging it. I grinned and sat watching him. Wow he's a show off, I noted. He jumped off and landed perfectly. I laughed and got up and he chased me. It was pure childish fun and it was a completely new side to him. It made him even more attractive if that was even possible. He finally grabbed me from behind and picked me up. I struggled laughing against him, my struggling caused him to fall and we laughed. He let me go and I turn to look at him. We were both breathing heavy. And I don't know what it was, maybe the moonlight, maybe the childish feeling still bubbling inside me, maybe it was just that he was so honest and kind, whatever it was it pulled me to kiss him. I bit my lip and slowly leaned toward him.

We laid there laughing. It was the perfect moment and I never wanted it to end. Ana treated me like me not Adam Levine frontman to Maroon5, or coach on The Voice, to her I was just Adam and maybe that is why I fell so easily for her. Who knows, all I knew in that moment was she was slowly moving toward me and I stiffened. Whatever happened next was going to be on her. I didn't want to push her. She hesitated and bit her lip, it was the sexiest sight ever but I restrained myself. Suddenly her lips were on mine and I was on cloud nine. The kiss was soft and sweet and innocent and it all ended too quickly. She sat up and looked down at me. I sat up slowly and took her hand. We went back to her hotel.
I walked her up and watched as she looked for her room key. As she opened the door, I said "goodnight" and turned to go. "Stay" she whispered. I knew that took a lot for her and I turned back a shy smiled playing on my lips.
For the second time since I met her a week ago I spent the night with her in a completely platonic way.
