Lovestruck

Chapter 2

Joey's POV
    "Okay what's the plan Maurice?" I ask curiously wondering if it'll be okay to go to the mall today.
"Nobody knows we're in town and I'll keep it that way, I just want to buy some clothes and have a good time. Plus, Danny, Jon, Donnie, and Jordan went to see some friends they have in town. I, on the other hand, know nobody here." I complain hoping it will make his mind up.
   "Fine McIntyre, but keep it low key okay? Y'all are finally off for a summer, we leave for LA tonight." He states sternly.
   "Deal Maurice, I'll even wear a hood." I happily reply. After getting that settled, I get in my car, put on the GPS and drive to the nearest mall. It's about 4:30 now, and Maurice said I have to leave at 7 because we are leaving for LA at 9PM sharp. I walk in, and immediately put my hood up so nobody spots me. I decide to shop in Best Buy for a new Laptop, because Jordan spilled coffee on my last one.
    "God he's such a clutz." I angrily say aloud, still extremely annoyed with the situation. After an hour of looking around, I finally just settle with an HP touchscreen laptop, it's $150.00, so I guess it's not that bad. After checking out, I walk to the food court because I'm in the mood for Chinese food. The food court isn't crowded, which is a huge relief considering I promised Maurice I wouldn't get spotted. I'm getting up to grab my food, when something falls and hits the floor next to me. It's a phone, and not even thinking I pick it up and hand it to the person who dropped it.
      "Here you go, I think you dropped this." I say
      "Thank you" I hear a girl say, she sounds to be about my age. I look up, and am completely caught off guard. Shes. So. Beautiful. Her blue eyes are so mesmerizing, and her smile. God I want to see that smile everyday for the rest of my life. Wait... is that me? Oh my god I'm on her shirt. She likes me? She listens to our music?
"You look familiar, do I know you." She asks. I can't just not tell her, I'm never gonna see her again, so what's the harm? Maybe she'll want to hug me, because I definitely want to hug her.
"I'll give you a hint..... look at your shirt." I smirk, curious to find out what's gonna happen.

Tori's POV
Joey. Fucking. McIntyre.
"Holy shit, you're him." I say pointing to the God that he is on my shirt.
"Yup it's me" he says giving me the sexiest smile on earth.
"Not to be weird, but I've wanted to say this to you forever, and I know if I don't say it now, I won't ever be able to. But Joey McIntyre, you're extremely attractive, and those eyes sir, can I just thank your damn parents?" I announce not even caring how straight forward it is. It's not like he's even gonna remember me, what's the harm?

Joey's POV
Okay so this went well, she's not screaming so that's a plus. Joey just get her number, you can do it. What's the harm? You're on her damn shirt, she'll say yes. I snap out of my thoughts when the girl in front of me starts speaking again.
"Not to be weird, but I've wanted to say this to you forever, and I know if I don't say it now, I won't ever be able to. But Joey McIntyre, you're extremely attractive, and those eyes sir, can I just thank your damn parents?"
Did she just say that? Holy shit that was straight forward. I. Like. Her. A. Lot. I can't help it, I'm smiling like an idiot and I don't even know her name. I've met millions of girls, but none have made me feel like this before. Why do I have to go to LA??!! "What's your name babe?" I ask mentally facepalming for the use of "babe". Oh no, what If she hates me now? Nice going Joe.
"Tori. Tori Rose, but you can just call me Tor." She states smiling from ear to ear.
"Well Tor, I can be straight forward too. How about we exchange numbers, and then you can tell me how attractive I am daily. What do you think about that?" I ask, praying to God that she says yes.
"Umm sure, can I see your phone?" She instantly says and I can't help it, I blush. As we exchange phones and put our numbers in, I decide to sit at her table and ask her more about her life. I swear to you, she's my soulmate. She writes songs, sings, sucks at guitar, she's great at math, and
"Wait?! You've never dated anyone??" I ask highly confused.
"Nope" she replies blushing at my confusion.
"Tori how is that even possible? Not to be creepy, but you're beautiful." I spit out before I even realize what I'm saying. Before I could say anything else, my phone rings. It's Maurice, great. Just great. I answer it right away, and he tells me that plans have changed. They're leaving for LA in an hour, which means I have to leave.
