"How was it?" Sky turns to me and asks as soon as I get in her silver car.

"It was fine. The manager was really nice and he set me up to me teach a couple of classes this week."

This morning I went to a meeting because I want to teach a few of my choreographies to a class here in Toronto in a dance studio. I heard the dancers are incredible and because I'm here and my manager has been talking about it for a while I thought, why not? Extra money would be very helpful since we are just bouncing back from some financial problems.

"When are you starting?"

"Tomorrow at 4 pm, then on Wednesday at 6 pm, Friday at 9 am and 5 pm and Saturday at 10 am."

"Oh, that's nice. It actually works really well, we have a few songs left to record and work on this week if we want that album to come out soon." Sky smiles at the mention of the new album we're working on.

"Oh yeah, Dani and I recorded what we were supposed to. I sent you that right?" I ask and she nods her head confirming. "Great, now we have a couple of adlibs to add and work on a couple of harmonies that aren't quite there yet."

"Yep, we'll start tomorrow, now let's meet up with Adam so we can then meet up with Shawn and Aaliyah." She adds.

"Wow, we're such busy women."

"It's crazy that he lives so close to us and we had no idea." Adam comments with that big bright smile he always has on his face. His soft light-brown eyes always carry that smile as well which is a little unusual for a bodyguard, he's not as friendly when working but that doesn't take away the charm and bright aura he has.

My heart warms up when he says "us", referring to the house I'm staying in as his and Sky's. It's amazing to me how much they love each other. They're both such happy, bubbly people who compliment each other so well. Sometimes it makes me consider the possibility of there actually being someone for me, a person who would love me for who I am and not treat me like trash.

We walk over to the street Shawn supposedly lives in. There's a lot of high, expensive looking condos, buildings and stuff like that. It's a little intimidating for someone like me.

"There he is." I hear Sky's sweet voice and so I look at her just to follow her gaze, and soon I see him.

Shawn is walking out of a building with a girl by his side, who I recognize as his younger sister. They notice us and we walk towards each other. Sky is the first to greet Shawn and introduce him to Adam. While the boys greet and talk to each other Sky and I introduce ourselves to Aaliyah.

"Hi. How are you?" I hug her with a big smile after seeing hers grow as we came closer.

"I'm good. How are you?" We pull back and she answers with that beautiful smile still present on her face.

"I'm fine, a bit cold but I'm okay." I honestly tell her and we end up laughing a little.

Soon Adam steps up to say hi to Aaliyah and I take a step back to let them talk just to see that familiar face that doesn't seem to leave my mind.

"Hi!" I smile up at him.

"Hey! It's nice to see you're finally here." He gives me a smile back as we both lean in for a hug. His big arms wrap around my waist while mine go around his neck and I automatically go on tiptoes to be closer to him. At some point he lifts me up off of the ground making a little squeal slip out of my mouth, being followed by laughter coming from both of us as he puts me back on the floor and we pull away from the warm and comforting embrace.
