A/N dedicated to wolf-babe for ALL her amazing feedback on my previous chapters! Thankyou so Much, i made this chapter long and i hope it starts to answer some of your questions.
We drove through the streets of Nottingham, and then on some country road heading further and further away, Josh let go of his gentleman act and returned to being my rocker boy driving the car at 100mph. I loved cars and so the speed was phenomenal, exhilarating. I kept stealing glances towards him and was delighted to see him doing the same. It still didn't quite feel real that someone like him could be interested in me; I always thought I was average but apparently Josh was seeing something different.
We pulled up at a marina, it had a cruise boat on it and some other couples were arriving too. They were mostly young couples I thought I recognised a few Nottingham Forest players and their girlfriends but im not the biggest football fan, so I could be wrong. The line up of cars waiting for the valet parking guys was impressive! Bentley Continentals, Lamborghini Gallardo's, Porsche's it was pretty much most boys idea of heaven.
The couples were all dressed up, the men in sharp suits and their ladies in gorgeous evening and party dresses, with killer heels! Im was so grateful for Elissa's message otherwise I would have looked like a right loony in the red lace skater dress I had planned on wearing!
Josh came up to my door, holding it open for me and his arm came up again, I took it and he flashed me a dazzling smile. "ready for this princess?" he asked with a grin, "Bring it on rockstar" I replied. I attempted to mirror his cheeky grin causing Josh to burst out laughing and a few of the people around us turned around to have a look. "I guess it's not as cute when I do that, huh?"
"well... no. But come on, we need to get on board." When we walked along the ramp onto the boat I gasped. It was beautiful, fairy lights draped down along the walls; there was lots of windows providing lights considering that it was still only 8pm. there was about 10 tables each with 2 chairs and place settings. A server came over to us and offered us champagne and then asked for our reservation name. Josh replied to him and the server took us over to our table. Josh tucked me under the table (! He was being adorable!) and then we were left alone.
"Josh. I can't believe all thi- How did you manage to organise all this in 1 day?"
"haha" he let out a low throaty chuckle "do you like it?" he asked
"Josh I love it's beautiful, no-one has ever done anything like this for me. EVER"
"Well, that's good. And lets just say I know a guy" he said, tapping his nose. We sipped our champagne and waited for our starters to arrive, we talked about ourselves. I told him about my parents being away and mentioned that I didn't get on with my brother, he told me a bit about his family and how he and his sister really got along. We talked about life in general and he told me stories about touring all round the world with his band. I noticed his smile drop a little when he talked about the band, and he frowned again, just like yesterday when he mentioned the band. He stopped talking and started looking around his body screaming how uncomfortable he was talking about the situation so I took charge and changed the subject.
*Josh's P.O.V*
Great! Everything was going great until I brought up the band, god those guys were making me so mad right now. I felt awful for Ally, all this shit going on with band was really wrecking my head. From that first minute on the bus, when she got on and all I heard was my own voice singing "Stay With Me" really really loud. I smiled to myself as I thought ' so the pretty girl is a sixer, hey?' but the latest argument I had had with the guys had put me in the worst mood and it wasn't fair to subject any of my fans to that mood, so I just sat there. Like a douche being rude to her instead. Not one of my greater plans I must admit. And now I was on a date with the beautiful girl and I couldn't get the guys out my head, god that sounded gay! But we had been friends for years and years and they were a massive part of my life. I looked around the boat, clearing my head and returned my sights to my beautiful date. She looked stunning! I've never been all about the looks but im a man. Im weak. She looked so beautiful and having her across the table from me, smiling at me, staring at me, I just wanted to knock the table out of the way and crush my lips onto her, I realised I was staring at her lips when she broke my train of thoughts.
