Shall We Dance

••7•• {Good Morning, Gorgous}

After the premiere ended, I stood up and walked over to the door.

"Thanks for inviting me even though I was so annoying about it."

"No problem."

I started to walk outside but then he stopped me. He put his arms around my waist and he kept his face only inches from mine.

"Shall we dance?" He asked in that rich, deep voice that sent shivers up my spine.

I put my arms around his neck. "I bet you can't dance at all."

"I won season five, gorgeous. Don't you remember?"

"That was a long time ago."

He dipped me backwards so that my hair could touch the damp ground.

"You're so gorgeous under the moonlight, gorgeous."

He then proceeded to twirl me around and then pull me into him so that there was no space between us.

I was completely and utterly breathless.

"Joshy, I-"

He put his finger to my lips. "You don't need to say anything, gorgeous. Just dance with me."

So there we were, dancing in the middle of the night with the moon as our stage light. His arms were around my waist in a tight embrace.

The cool nigh-air blew against us as we sliced through the fog.

I knew he was wrong but it felt so right.

...

I woke up in an unfamiliar setting.

I looked around and saw a TV in front of me.

Why am I in Josh's living room?

Then I felt something move beside me.

Oh no.

I fell asleep next to Josh Trevor in his living room!

Oh no.

Why? Why? Why?

I immediately stood up and threw the blankets off of me and I looked out the window. The sun rose above the Beverly Hills and it was now high in the sky.

Oh no!

What if someone finds out about us?

Oh God, no!

I walked over to the door and slowly turned the handle so that I could sneak out. But just then, I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Good morning, gorgeous."

Crap!

I turned around to look him in the eyes. "You idiot!"

And with that, I felt my hand hit the side of his cheek. I stomped outside and my heels clicked against the pavement.

"What is wrong with you?"

I didn't turn around. "What is wrong with you? You got me to fall asleep next to you when you knew I want comfortable with this."

"What are you not comfortable with?"

"I'm not comfortable being with you!"

"Why?"

"Because you're a player, Joshy. You're trying to lure me in as quick as you can so that you get what you want and then you're going to let me go."

Our eyes met.

"Gorgeous, I wouldn't do that to you."

"So why are we taking things so fast?"

He was quiet.

"We barely know each other. I- I can't love you. We don't love each other. I can't keep doing this!"

He put his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. "You know we like each other, gorgeous."

"Liking someone isn't the same as loving them," I said as I tried to pull away from his grasp.

"You're just afraid of developing feelings because you were hurt once and you don't want it to happen again," he whispered.

I finally pulled myself out of his grasp. "You don't know me, so don't pretend that you do."

"I know how girls like you are, gorgeous. You're all a little hurt and you're all a little scared of getting too close." He got closer to me so that I was up against my car. "But gorgeous, space isn't in my vocabulary and I can't let someone as perfect as you be lonely."

"I can tell space isn't in your vocabulary..."

He chuckled before stepping back. "Go ahead and hate me."

I opened my car door.

"But that will be the worst decision you will ever make."

I just stood there for a second. "Why do you want me so bad?"

He grinned seductivly. "Do you have a mirror at your house?"

"I hate you so much! You know that, right? There's more to me than my body, idiot! This is why we can't happen. Players. They reel you in to get what they want and then they let you go."

With that I got in my car and sped away.
