That Moment

Chapter 5

That voice sounds almost familiar....... I turned to see who it was. I froze. NO WAY!!! There stood none other than Dylan Minnette. He was wearing a blue t-shirt which only made his eyes look That much bluer. I'm telling you my heart stopped for a few seconds and then picked up at double the normal speed. It was getting hard to breathe. He was looking at me with an amused look on his face. I barely registered that there were camera flashes going off all around us and his bodyguard was standing close by with a look that said he wanted to be out of there now. Apparently he didn't approve of Dylan mingling with the normal people.

He was still staring at me when I realized that he was holding out my wallet. I reached for it and our fingers brushed. I felt a shock like electricity but warm. As if I thought that only happened in the movies! He must've felt it too, because his eyes jerked up to mine again. I mumbled a thank you. At least that's what I hope I said, I couldn't be sure. I heard a bunch of people that I assumed to be photographers yell out for him to pose with me. He smiled and then gently turned me to face them. His breath tickled my ear as he leaned in and said, "Smile... and breathe." I put on what I hoped was a smile... it felt awkward. He thinks I'm a total idiot who can't even speak! I continued beating myself up mentally till he spoke to me again. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but what are you wearing?" he was referring to the culottes. (I have No idea how to spell that!) I looked down embarrassed. Man up! I told myself. I took a deep breath and looked up at him. "they are part of our volleyball uniforms. I know they look kinda weird though." I was talking too fast. He smiled and chuckled deep in his chest. That about did me in right there! He leaned in and touched my elbow to turn our faces slightly away from the cameras. "what's your name?"

I blinked and wondered, why would someone like Dylan Minnette want to know my name?

"Latoya Fournier, what's yours?"

You idiot! Everyone obviously knows his name including you!!! I was making a fool of myself. But to my amazed his gorgeous smile just got bigger. "thanks for letting me introduce myself. No one ever lets me do that. I am Dylan. Just Dylan."

His bodyguard stepped in then and insisted they get going. Dylan looked disappointed for a minute, then he grabbed a little notepad from the bodyguard's shirt pocket and ripped out a page. He quickly scribbled on it and then folded it. He leaned in close to my ear again and whispered, "please use this asap." With that he pulled away, reached for my hand and squeezed. Then he backed away disappearing into the crowd. I looked till he was completely gone, all the people following him leaving me with just Kyle and Bekah. Kyle looked wary, but Bekah was excited. She hugged me from behind but I wasn't really paying attention. It wasn't till the tour bus pulled away that I realized that Dylan had snuck that piece of paper into my hand.
