The One They Call..Val (Dancing With The Stars)

Morning

I woke up early the next morning still wrapped up in Val's arms. I looked up at him and laughed. He looked so peaceful. I tried to move from his grip, but his arms would just tighten around me. Val. I said with a laugh. I poked him and he groaned. Valllll. I said shaking his arm. He groaned and rolled us over. I laughed. Really Valentin? I asked. He kissed my cheek and stayed with his eyes closed. I rolled my eyes and kissed his lips softly. He pulled me closer to him and kept his lips on mine. I knew he was awake now. I pulled away and looked at him with one of his eyes opened. I laughed. You're something else, Valentin. I said poking his nose. He glared at me. You know, if you could wake me up every morning; that would be great. he said. I rolled my eyes and laughed. But can you please let me go? I have to get ready for work. I said. He groaned. Do you have to leave? he asked. Yes Val, I have a job to do. I said looking at him. He sighed and released me. I stood up and was about to walk over to my bag, but he grabbed my arm. I turned and looked at him. What Valentin? I asked. Have I ever told you I love it when you call me that? he asked. I rolled my eyes. It's that what you're doing? I asked with a laugh. He smiled and shook his head. What are you doing tonight? he asked. I shrugged and walked over to my bag. I get off of work at noon, after that I don't have anything planned. I said pulling my outfit out of my bag. Val came over and wrapped his arms around my waist. How about you be my date to a Halloween costume for Maxim magazine tonight? he asked. I turned and looked at him. Who's all going? he asked. Peta, Mark, his girlfriend, and Maks; that's all I know. he said with a shrug. I ran a hand through my hair. I would love to, but I don't have a costume. I said. He walked over to the closet of the guest room and pulled out one of the cop outfits from his and Tamar's dance last Monday. This work? he asked. I nodded. It can. I said with a laugh. Great. he said kissing my head. Now, go get ready so Derek and I can drop you off. he said. I gathered up my stuff and walked to the bathroom in the guest room. I changed into a white dress shirt, a pair of black skinny jeans, and a pair of black flats. I ran a brush through my hair and put it in a loose bun on top of my head. I pulled out my makeup and applied some to my face. I looked myself over in the mirror and nodded approvingly. I walked out of the bathroom to see the room empty. I walked downstairs and saw Val in the kitchen cooking and Derek watching football. Huh, I never took you for a football guy. I said as I walked into the living room. Derek's eyes shot to my direction. About time you got up. he said standing up and walking over to hug me. Morning. he said with a smile. Morning. I said back as we pulled away. He took in my appearance. You look great. he said. Thanks bestie. I said with a smile as I walked to one of the bar stools in the kitchen and sat down and watched Val cook. You cook? I asked with a laugh. He shrugged. Hey now, I can do a lot of things that you don't know about. he said flipping an omelet. Oh yeah, like what? I asked. He wiggled his eyebrows at me. I rolled my eyes and laughed as I got a text on my phone from James, my boss. I unlocked my phone and read it; Change of plans, business is closed for the day; my son got sick, and I know you probably want to hangout with the guys from DWTS, you can start back up in a few days. See you soon (; I rolled my eyes and laughed. I replied back with a hope your son gets better, and I'll see you in a few days (;. I turned the chair around and looked at Derek. So, change of plans..I said. Derek leaned his head back on the couch and looked at me. I got the new few days off, again. I said with a laugh. So..Derek said. Sooo. I started. Either, I can go home, or I can stay here for awhile and get ready for the maxim Halloween costume party tonight. I said taking my hair out of the bun. Derek looked at me. How did you know about that? he asked. How do you tjink? I asked with a laugh and pointed my eyes in Val's direction. Derek laughed. Figures. he said. But yeah, you can stay here; you're not bothering anyone. he said. I nodded and turned back around as Val placed a plate with an omelet down in front of me. I smiled and leaned up and pecked his cheek. Thanks Valentin. I said sitting back down and using my fork to cut a piece. Of course, babe. he said and grabbed a chair and sat next to me and began eating his. So, what time does the party start? I asked in between pieces of the omelet. I have to go to the studio and check up on stuff for the show on Monday tonight and have to get my costume and makeup from Esmeralda, so I say we could leave out of here by 6ish. Party starts at 8. he said. I nodded as I took another bite of my omelet. Hey Jamaica. Derek said from behind me. I turned and looked at him. Yeah? I asked. You're coming to the show on Monday, right? he asked. I nodded. Of course, I wouldn't miss it. I said with a smile. He nodded. Good. he replied. I turned back around and finished eating my omelet. I stood from my chair and walked over to the sink and began cleaning the plate. I could feel someone come up and wrap their arms around me. I can take care of these, why don't you go upstairs and get showered, then when I'm done I'll do the same and we can head to the studio. he said. I nodded and released myself from his arms. I walked to the stairs when I remembered something. Hey Val? I asked. He moved from his spot so he could see me. Yes? he asked. Do you have a shirt I could wear? I asked. Yeah, I actually got a new shipment of shirts in from the Valentin collection yesterday; go to my room, first door to the right and there should be a box full of them. Pick whichever one you want. he said. Thanks Val. I said with a smile and rushed up the stairs. I opened Val's bedroom door and stepped inside to see a box by his closet. I walked over and opened it to see it full of shirts. I pulled out a great sweater that had the words J'Adore Valentin printed on it. I closed up the box and walked into the guest room. I pulled out a pair of jeans from my bag and walked into the bathroom. I stripped out of my outfit and stepped into the shower. 20 minutes passed, and I stepped out of the shower. I dried myself off and wrapped a towel around my hair. I changed into the outfit I had picked out and looked at myself in the mirror. The sweater fit like a glove. I smiled in approval. I let my hair down and just brushed through it with my brush and let it fall loosely around my shoulders. I pulled out some hair spray and sprayed it into my hair. I grabbed my makeup and put a light amount of it on my face. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and smiled. I pulled out my phone and quickly snapped a picture. I posted it to Twitter with the caption; @wearValentin @iamvalc I'm loving this sweater 😍 #FitsLikeAGlove #JAdoreValentin 😘 I grabbed all my stuff and walked back into the guest room and put it all into my bag. I walked downstairs to see Val had showered and was changed into a grey tshirt, black jacket, black slacks, and a pair of black and grey shoes. Wow, great minds think alike. I said as I hit the last step. He looked up from his phone and his eyes shot over to me. He stood up and walked over to me. He looked at the sweater that I had chose. Wow, that sweater definitely doesn't do you justice. he said smiling at me. I smiled and laughed at him. Are you ready to go? he asked. I nodded. He grabbed the car keys off of the table and picked up our costumes. I followed him out to his van. He opened the door for me and I stepped inside. I buckled myself in as he did the same on the driver's side. He put the costumes carefully on the backseat. He started up the car and pulled out of the driveway. Val grabbed my hand with his free hand and kissed it. I looked at him and laughed. You're something else, Valentin. I said with a smile. He laughed and kept our hands on his lap as he drove. I pulled out my phone with my free hand and took a picture of Val. I posted it to Twitter with the caption; Spending the day with this handsome devil @iamvalc 😍 #LuckyGirl I instantly got a bunch of retweets and favorites. I got a reply from someone; Derek. @JamaBJamaica, Just date already! 😉 his tweet said. I laughed and rolled my eyes. A bunch of fans replied to Derek's tweet with stuff like; I ship it 😍 or #Valaica or #Jal. I rolled my eyes and laughed. @DerekHough You'll be the death of me...😤👿 I love you though, see you later 😉😘. I put my phone away as Val pulled up to the DWTS studio and we got out of the car.
