Derek's Pov.

"What?!" I try to scream but it comes out as more of a whisper. "I know, Insane isn't it? Who knew people could be so obsessed over a dance!" Says my manager. I take a couple steps over to the window facing the nearby street to take a moment and breathe but my breath is taken aback once I see the roaring crowd of screaming girls outside. The crowd had nearly tripled since I had come in only minutes ago. "What are we going to do about this?" I say. Not wanting to sound rude I add "I mean Its amazing but... wow..."

Arielle's Pov

As the days since the contest passed by it seemed as if it was just getting more and more attention. I wasn't really sure how to take it. I've never been the girl who liked being in the spotlight, or getting attention. I've always just blended in with the background. Now, I had people I didn't even know recognizing me, stopping me wherever I went, some even asked to take a picture with me. So I tried to stay out of public a bit, only going out when necessary.

Then came a call I thought I'd never get.

Derek's POV

"Um... Hello... Arielle?" I say, my nerves obviously getting the best of me. "Hey, who is this?" Her soft voice whispered through the phone, sending flutters in my heartbeat. "Its Derek... you know.... Hough...?" "Oh Hello Derek." She sounds like an angel I swear. "I don't know if you've noticed but our dance has gotten pretty famous..." I hear a slight chuckle on the phone before she responds, "No, I didn't notice at all, I'm tottaly used to all this attention." She says sarcastically, damn she was cute. "Haha, anyways.. My manager wanted to know if you would maybe like to go on a little press tour with me next week? I mean, if you're not busy? And, um, only if you want? It would just be 4 or 5 talk shows, nothing huge."

Arielle's POV

PRESS TOUR? 4 OR 5 TALK SHOWS? Is he serious? I didn't even know how to handle the people in my own town paying attention to me, but were talking country wide. I mean, I'd love spending more time with Derek but still, this is huge. "Um... Arielle?" Ugh, it was so adorable they way he said my name. Then I realize that I hadn't even responded. "Um... Do you think I could think about it a little first?" I ask, like a little kid. "Yeah, of course, no problem, I just need to hear from you by tomorrow morning, okay?" "Yeah, sure. Um... Talk to you later? Bye." I say, still a nervous wreck. "Yeah, um bye, and Arielle?" "Yeah?" "I really hope you come." And with that the phone clicks off. Does he really want to see me again? wow. When I get off the phone I go straight to my moms room, plop on her bed, and scream into the pillow. "What's up honey?" She asks, as she starts playing with my hair. I explain the situation, and of course she gets super excited and wants me to do it. But I'm still unsure. After a couple of episodes of I love Lucy and Peanut butter ice cream, I decide to go back to my room and write. But I can barely get a work onto paper, all I can think about is Derek. But still, I was unsure, so I decided to sleep on it. And first thing in the morning, I had my answer.

Derek's pov.

"Yes." She says in her morning voice, I can tell she just woke up. "Really?! Great! I'll have my manager send you all the info, okay?" "Sounds good" she replies, sounding unsure. "Don't worry this will be great" I assure her.

Arielle's Pov

I still can't believe I'm doing this, I think to myself as I close the E-mail Derek's manager sent me. It basically said that I'd have to get on a plane tonight, work on the routine with Derek for 2 days, then we'd tour for 5 days (Witch I'd get paid for) Seemed simple enough, but I was still so nervous. I decide to kick my nerves aside and be excited as I pack my things while listening to my favorite playlist and dancing around my room. My heart flutters when a particular song comes on, the one we had danced to that night, Dance with me tonight by Olly Murs.
