Tiny Dancer ft Josh Ramsay

3 Time Lapse

(A/N: Sorry this is ridiculously long. It takes place over 6 months.)

Penelope's P.O.V

Holy shit, Joshua freaking Ramsay was just in my studio. I took a deep breath and leaned back in my chair closing my eyes and laughing to myself. "What the fuck" I laugh to myself. I gather my things and head downstairs to my apartment. I love that my work and home are the same place. I feel more at home here in Vancouver than I have anywhere in my 25 years of living. I lay in bed and close my eyes. I'll probably never run into Josh again, I over heard him, he was only there because Jamie's mom was working late. Well it was cool while it lasted, I thought to myself.

Josh's P.O.V.

I couldnt get her out of my head. I offered to help Sara out more often with picking up Jamie from dance. Hoping I would get to run into Penelope.

JANUARY 13TH

A Tuesday. A week after the first time I ever saw her. Jamie has classes every Tuesday and Thursday with Penelope. I show up a little early on purpose this time. Just to watch her dance. Hoping that maybe we might get to talk. Class ends fast, Jamie comes skipping out and I turn to look at Penelope, shes looking at me too. I smile and wave goodbye.

FEBRUARY 10TH

As usual I'm here 30 minutes early. I just love being able to watch her dance. She just looks so happy. I wonder if I could make her happy. I guess I have to talk to her first. Hah.

FEBRUARY 24TH

Tuesday again, Im making a habit of only being here Tuesdays. I wonder if she notices.

MARCH 3RD

Oh my god what if she thinks I'm some kind of creep? Why dont I just talk to her. Say something, ANYTHING.

"Hey Penelope" I say dumbly. Well I guess that was something I palm myself in the forehead as I turn away.

APRIL 7TH

"Uncle Josh, do you only come to pick me up to stare at my instructor like a creep?" Jamie laughs at me. WOW I seem like a jerk, dont I? Only spending time with my niece to creep on her dance instructor?

"Jamie, no. I love spending time with you. Creeping your instructor is just a bonus." I laughed it off. I love my niece, I hope she doesnt think I'm as big of an ass as I feel like.

MAY 12TH

I show up at my usual time, 5:30 on the dot, I make my way upstairs. Today the girls are picking out costumes for their summer recital. Penelope gives them the catalogue and makes her way into the lobby area. I decide I should go down and try and make conversation "Hey Penelope" I smile at her.

"Hey Josh. You know, you can call me Penny." She smiles back.

"I know, I just like to call you Penelope, is that okay?" She nodded and smiled as she opened her laptop and began typing furiously. I took this as my cue to go sit down and wait for Jamie.

MAY 19TH

I show up today but she isnt there. Jamie said she was sick and they had a substitute. Weird, Ive never seen anyone else there besides Penelope.

JUNE 2ND

Penelope still isnt there. Shes been in and out of the hospital according to Jamie. Should I go visit her? Would that be weird?

JUNE 16TH

SHES BACK. PENELOPE FREAKING IS BACK. I forgot how beautiful she was. She somehow looked smaller than before, pale too, she must have been really sick. I decided right then and there I was going to give her my number tonight. After class, I was going to give her my number.
