"Shotgun the shower." I said running to the bathroom with my pyjamas and Derek chasing me. There was some water on the tiled floor and I slipped and fell landing on my bottom. Derek looked concerned as I sat on the floor laughing.

"How is that funny?" asked Derek helping me up.

"I don't know." I said still giggling like a child.

"You alright?" he asked with a smile on his face.

"Fine" I said with a dying smile.

"Do you want to take a shower first?" I asked

"I brush my teeth in the shower and some people think that's weird so you should go first." I said as I let Derek go into the shower.

"You can still brush your teeth here" he said pulling the blue tinted glass shower door to a close

. He started humming 'kiss me' by Ed Sheeren.

"I love that song." I said with toothpaste in my mouth, it probably sounded like I was talking gibberish, I spat out the toothpaste and said "I love that song." As Derek stepped out of the shower with a white towel wrapped around his waist and hot water dripping off his body, he was steaming litterly.

"Wow" I whispered as he smiled and walked out of the shower. I looked at Derek's face that had a bright smile. I took a shower and got changed into my star pyjamas.

I walked into my room and noticed that I had wallpapers of famous dancers who happened to be my idols like Yulia Zagoruychenko, Mark Ballas, Val Chmerkovskiy , my coach and step dad Nathan Meyers and of course Derek Hough and his sister Julianne Hough along with some other movie posters and a ton of Chris Evans posters. I immediately ran to my room and started to take Derek's posters off my room, but I kept his sister's posters on the wall. Derek walked into my room and said "you know I have danced with most of the people on your wall." "I just want to be like them" I said with a smile. "You should get some sleep. Big day tomorrow." Said Derek who was sleeping on the bed next to mine. "Good night" I said as I got into the covers.

...

I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of the trees waving to the wind.

"Derek, can you sleep?" I whispered. After a couple of seconds he turned to me and replied saying "no, I can't."

"What's up?" he asked me.

"Oh nothing, just I've been dreaming of meeting you for majority of my life and now that it's here, it's just... weird." I said.

"That's the good thing about dreams I guess." He replied with what sounded like a smile.

"What is?" I asked.

"You get to choose a new one." he said.

Derek turned on the lights and got off his bed, I hid under the covers to avoid the light. He extended his arm to me as I popped my head out of the covers.

"What are you doing" I whispered.

"You'll see." He whispered.

He led me down to the dance studio Nathan and I practise in and turned the music on. He turned on the music and Ed Sheeran's thinking out loud started playing.

"Just dance with me." he invitingly said as he took my left hand and placed it on his shoulder and took my right arm in his and got closer to me like in a ballroom hold but it was a rumba.

"We haven't done a rumba routine," I said.

"Just follow my lead" he said.

Derek pulled me close into a closed hold but I gently pushed him away with my foot as drew me closer to him as we two cucarachas into an Alamana into a tail spin into a split, as he helped me up he lead me into 2 sliding doors into an over turn into a reverse top into an open out into three spins into a fan into hockey stick into a curl into a natural top and lowered me down into a final drop as I saw my mum and Nathan standing at the door and I squealed and Derek almost dropped me but he fell down with me. Nathan stood at the door with my mum's hand in his, and asked, "you done yet?'' he was mainly looking at Derek who was still on me, it was a weird position as his body was in between my legs which were fairly open. He immediately got off me and helped me up.

"It not his fault, we couldn't sleep" I said with Derek still holding on to my hand.

"It's better than doing something else," said my mum who looked at Nathan.

"That's gross." Replied Derek and I simultaneously.

"We should go to bed, long day tomorrow." Said my mum looking at Nathan.

"Go to sleep," ordered Nathan who shifted his look to both of us.

"They're going out for something." I informed Derek, he was like a school boy who had gotten in trouble for the first time.

"Hay don't worry about it, Nathan is just being a Dad." I said patting his back.

"We should get some sleep." Said Derek who grabbed my hand as we walked up the stairs

"oh I forgot, are you alright?" he asked me as we entered my room.

"Oh yah I'm fine what about you?" I asked.

"Don't worry about me." he said as he kissed me on the cheek and said "good night." I instantly blushed with a smile. "Good night." I said with a smile as Derek turned off the light. After a few minutes passed,

"can I tell you something?" I awkwardly asked,

"Sure" he said with his cheery voice.

"Why did you want to dance with me?" I asked after a few seconds.

"Because you're really good, and the kiss was just..." he said stopping the sentence.

"The kiss was what?" I weirdly asked,

"Well it was in the heat of the moment, I'm sorry." He said.

"Good night." I said turning over to face the wall. "Goodnight." He replied
