Toby's POV

I just watched her as she drove. I know, it sounds pretty creepy, but I did. She was just so beautiful that I couldn't help it.

"So Toby," she began, her voice music to my ears. "Do you know my cousin and his girlfriend?"

"Anthony? Yeah I know him and Kalel. Ian too."

"Ah good, so you'll know people. I think my cousin and Kalel will be a little busy being hosts and all," she said, pausing to look at me during the red light, "so can you introduce me to some of your friends if they're there?'

"Sure..." I said. I wasn't really sure she'd be into my type of people, but then again I had just met her. I guess now's as good a time as any to get to know her a little more. "So Taylor, my friend tells me you run a YouTube channel as well," I begin.

"Mhmm," she responds, slowly making her way to the 405.

"Well, what kind of videos do you make?"

"I vlog, mostly. I might do daily vlogs once in a while since my day to day life isn't that interesting, but I usually sit down and cover a topic once a week and a collab every other week along with my regular video. If not every other than at least twice a month somehow. Then I'll occasionally record some gameplay, but it never really goes up."

"Why don't you post it?"

"I mean, it's more of a special thing just for me really. And I don't think anyone'd really watch it. I think my viewers, if they're even into gameplay, would prefer to watch someone who's really good and knows what they're doing rather than someone who's just okay and is massively confused and easily scared. However, be that as it may, I do have a lot of gameplay stored on my computer. It just doesn't go up."

"Since we're sitting here stuck in traffic, tell me about yourself."

"Well," she began, sighing a little, while moving the car every so often. "I grew up in New Jersey. Moved to Britain for four years of college on a scholarship, and then came back to the United States. I started my videos as a project for school, and then they actually started to pick up. I didn't want to just quit, so I made a video every month, recapping the past month. And then I just, started full time I guess. I went to school for acting, graphic design, and telecommunications, so YouTube was kindof an 'until I get a grownup job' thing. But New York City was not proving itself so well, and I haven't been out here in a while, so I decided 'Hey, why not move?' YouTube's been pretty good to me, and I need to do something in order to keep my viewers, and my own, interest. Also moving out here makes it a lot easier to collaborate with people. I mean, hey, New York's great, but there's only so many East Coast YouTubers, and convention times are just busy for all of us. New York's so busy, and California seems like the polar opposite. Parts of it, anyway. This traffic, for instance, is worse than NYC's, and THAT'S saying something."

"Why'd you move?"

"From?"

"From Jersey to England to NYC?"

"Well, I like to change my scenery every once in a while. Going somewhere new, having a somewhat fresh start, meeting new people, doing new things. I guess it's all just kinda temporary. Things get old, routines form, old habits become harder to break. England was a spur of the moment decision, the scholarship came later. And in coming back to the States, I just wanted to be in the city. I've loved going there ever since I was a little girl, and Los Angeles just wasn't possible yet. I mean it was, but I didn't want to move all the way out here just to go back in a few years, or however long I decide to stay here," Taylor explained. I loved listening to her talk and about her travels and adventures. I could close my eyes and listen to her all day. So I did just that. I closed my eyes, and listened to her tell me about a small piece of her existence.

"Toby...Toby...Toby wake up we're here," I heard from somewhere nearby.

"Huh?" I didn't even know I had fallen asleep.

"Yeah. It took 45 minutes of traffic but we finally made it to Anthony and Kalel's place," Taylor said. I heard a little irritation in her voice, but brushed it off. She turned off the ignition and stepped out of her car. I followed suit. I met her in front of the car and gasped.

"What?" She asked worredly. "Do I look okay? Is something wrong?" She asked me, but couldn't be more wrong. I hadn't been paying attention to how beautiful she looked until now. Her sky blue dress brought attention to her eyes, which were about the closest they could get to sky blue. Her black sweater and bag looked good on her and her heels made her close to my height, but I was still taller than her by a few inches. And her hair fell perfectly on her. She was the walking definition of beautiful.

"You look so..."

"I look so what?"

"Beautiful. Taylor you look so beautiful."

"Oh," she said, blushing. "Thank you Toby. It's just something I threw together though." After a few minutes of silence, she cleared her throat and looked me in the eyes. "Ready?"

"Ready."
