Just to Let you Know, I said Nathan was 5'4. I meant 5'9 sorry about that.

NATHAN'S POV

As I watched Saffire leave to go tell her mom that I would be taking her out and driving her home tonight, I became confused. Where was I going to take her?

I looked to Siva with an urgent looking.

"Where do you take Nareesha on dates?" I questioned, my eyes wide.

Nareesha smiled at him.

"Wherever she wants. The beach, ice cream place, Zala's..." he trailed off.

"Guess where I take Kelsey?" Tom asked, smiling suspiciously.

Kelsey glared at him.

"To my bedroom," Tom laughed.

Kelsey smacked him on the arm as Jay chuckled.

I shook my head and sighed, "I'm serious, this is really important to me."

Max walked in and gave me a serine look.

"Take her to that new art gallery. I mean were in L.A. so you can take her anywhere. But not too public, you know, you may want some privacy if you kiss her or something?" Max advised, and I smiled. He gave me the best answer.

"Thank's Max," I replied.

"Let's go get our stuff together," Tom concluded, and so we did.

Just in time, Saffire walked back into the room.

She gave me a shy smile and turned to the side showing me her back.

"You ready?" I asked, trying not to cheese to much.

"Ready," she said happily, a thumbs up.

"Bye Saffire see you later!" Kelsey sang out winking at her.

"See you Saf!" Nareesha and the other's joined in.

"What about me?!" I asked playfully.

Crickets.

"Oh okay I see how it is now!" I said sarcastically turning for the door.

"See you Nath! Be Safe!" I heard them call as Saf and I walked out, towards the exit.

Uh-Oh, I vrealized as soon as the door opened.

SAFFIRE'S POV

As Nathan opened the exit door, everything was all a blur. I blinked my eyes several times as lights flashed and paparazzi asked questions, mics in my face.

"Are you dating Nathan?"

"How long have you two known eachother?"

"What's your name?"

Nathan put a hand around my waist, steering me into his car, shutting it after.

As soon as he got in on the other side, he locked the doors.

I noticed how quiet I had been due to the surprise of lights.

"You okay?" he asked suddenly as we pulled out, and headed to the street.

I nodded my head, afraid of my voice.

I couldn't look at him, but I felt him looking at me constantly.

"I'm sorry, it's just I'm not used to that...for a couple minutes I thought you were a normal person," I said softly, smiling.

"I am a normal person," he replied, smiling teasingly.

"Yeah with agazillion people watching your every move," i reminded.

He smiled knowingly and asked, "Do you like ice cream?"

I laughed, unable to hold it in. He had one of his eyebrows lifted. He was dead serious.

"Yes I think almost everybody likes ice cream." I said stopping my laughter.

"Alright cool. We'll get some ice cream after dinner and then go to the beach," he said a smile of anticipation on his face.

"That sounds great. Hey, where are you from?" I asked,

"Gloucester. How about you Saf? Did you grow up here?" he asked calmly keeping his eyes on the ride as we entered the highway.

"I was born in New York, but moved here to L.A. with my family when I turned four," I answered.

"What do you like to do? I mean like for fun? I know you like ice skating and all but what really like...you know..drives you?" he questioned, glancing at me.

I smiled.

"I won't lie...It's singing, and acrobatics. You know with those two things, you are able to let yourself go free. You can be so frustrated and angry, but when your crying you need to let out your anger, and so you can sing, or dance, maybe. Just to let go. Acrobatics are very helpful, when you just need to move, and let go," I explained, I felt my eyes light up.

"I know where your coming from. And I feel the same way. Sometimes I find myself in the worst state, so i put myself in front of the piano and play whatever comes to mind to let go." He said a soft smile that recalled a memory came on his face.

"I would like to hear you play sometime." I sounded like a complete idiot. He chuckled softly then said, "When's your birthday?"

I made a confused face and looked up. 

"In two weeks actually...wow," I realized.

He smiled. "Are you having a party or something?" He asked curiously.

To be honest i have no idea what I'm doing.. Thats pretty boring..

"Probably stay home and go out to dinner. Nothing really planned," I murmured hoping he wouldn't ask why.

"Why?" He questioned glancing at me as we pulled into this ice cream place.

I pulled my hair behind my ears before speaking. I don't know why I feelvlike when the hair is out of my face i speak clearly.

"We'll birthdays and me don't go very well...I know it sounds weird but i haven't really thought about my birthday.. You know...senior year calls for senior measures." My words were soft.

The car turned off once we parked. 

"How about we do something for your birthday?" He asked aloud. 

I looked at him to see his face serious with a smile on his lips.

"Nathan." I said seriously.

I opened my door stepping out.

"Come on," I whined once i saw him with folded arms and a pouted lip in the car.

"Was that a yes?" He tested coming out of the car. I shut my door and responded with a smile.

He locked the door and pulled me closer to him with a hand around my shoulder.

I playfully nudged him. 

"Was it???" He questioned smiling now looking down at me.

"Yes! Yessss!" I cried once he pulled me in an air crushing hug. My face was pressed against his chest as i was forced to walk backwards into the ice cream place.

"I can't here you," he said simply his arms around my neck pressing my hair against my skin. 

Goosebumps rose. 

"Yes yes yess!" I repeated barely able to breathe.
