"Woah..."
I mumble as we walk into a beautiful flourishing garden.
"Em!!"
Maddie shouts running up to her. She picks her up and whispers in her ear. Maddie bursts out giggling.
"What are you to up to?"
Matt asks suspiciously and em shrugs. "Nothing."
"Who's up for the zoo?"
Dom asks and we all agree.
-------
We are coming to the end of the zoo, there is about 4 animals left.
"I can't see."
I huff and Matt laughs, grabbing me by the waist and lifting me on his shoulders.
"Matt! Put me down!"
I screech and he shakes his head.
"You have to face your fears at some point. Just think of it like being in a plane."
He says and I take a shakey breath. I look down at my brother, who grins at me, then to em who has her phone in her hand.
"Say cheese!"
She chuckles snapping a picture.
"You can put me down now. People are starting to stare."
"So let them stare."
He replies, and starts walk.
"Matthew, I'm serious."
I say with my 'serious voice'.
"So am I."
He replies and I sigh, giving in to the fact that he's not putting me down any time soon.
"You better not let me fall."
I huff and sit up straight.
"Never."
He says with a cheesy grin, making me blush.
"Let's head to the car." Dom says walking away.
-------------------
When I wake up the next morning, I realise that the guys are at work. So, i decided to finish my garage converstion. Mostly everything was done, I just had some equipment to unpack. I move my wooden box unit stored to the furthest end of the garage, where I unpack several leotards, ballet slippers, and several other dance outfits. Then I write up my speakers to my laptop, in order for me to play the music. When I'm done, I head back into the house and change into a blue leotard and tie my hair into a bun.

I'm interrupted on the second dance by clapping. I jump and rush to turn of the music.
"Matt...hey."
I say out of breath.
"Wow. That was amazing."
He says shocked and I smile.
"Thank you. I was just messing around."
I smile and he grins.
"I was on my way to work, but I told Dom I'd drop this off on the way."
He says handing me my phone. "Thank you so much."
I say taking it from him.
"I'll let you get back to it. When is your first class?"
He asks curiously.
"Today. Im needed to cover a street lesson."
"Do you want a lift? I could pick you up and you could hang out on set?" He offers.
"But I'll be all sweaty and gross."
I grimace and he laughs.
"You can shower in my trailer. And if your free, I have somewhere I'd like to take you."
He says and i raise an eyebrow. "Where?"
"Its a surprise."
He says with a chuckle.
"Okay. Sure. I'll bring a spare change of clothes. Thank you."
I smile at him and he nods then waves goodbye. I wave back then press play on my music again.
---------
At about 1pm, I decide that I need a coffee. So I change into clean clothes and leave. I head to the nearest Starbucks and get in line. After collecting my order, I grab a taxi to the SH set. Balancing all the coffees in my hands, I walk into the trailer area. Some of the guys are just sat on their lunch break.
"Hey Lydia."
Harry says with a smile.
"Roasted Hazelnut Macchiato, right?"
"Your actual amazing. Thank you. I'll get you the money after."
He gasps taking the drink from me.
"No, my treat."
I turn to em with a smile.
"Golden honey Macchiato."
I hand her the drink and she gives me a huge smile, while eating her salad. "Vanilla bean Macchiato."
I say giving Katherine her drink. "Thank you lyds."
She grins and I smile. I then walk over to Dom and Matt who are sat in their chairs.
"Boys."
I smile handing dom his drink.
"A latte with two sugars and a red eye. Enjoy."
I smile and they both thank me. I take a sip of my coffee and go to speak but Dom beats me to it.
"What time do you need to be at work again?"
"I need to be there for 1:40."
I tell him and he nods.
"I thought they didnt need you until next week?" Harry asks curiously. "Street dance teacher left early, they want me in to teach a class."
I explain and he nods.
"I'd better get going. It's a 20 minute walk home."
I explain and Matt grabs my arm.
"I'll give you a lift."
"Are you not needed?"
"Nah, there doing a clace scene next." Matt explains and I nod.
"Sure, that would be great. Thank you."
Dom hugs me and we walk to Matt's car.
"So, you're still free later right?"
He says after a quiet few minutes. "Absolutely. Your still picking me up?"
"Absolutely. We can stop and get food if you'd like. Subway?"
"Sounds great. Thank you for the ride."
I say climbing out of the car.
"You want a lift to city dance?"
"Do you mind?"
"Not at all. I'll wait for you."
"You can come in, I'll be quick."
I tell him. I quickly thrown on a pair of black yoga pants and a baggy tshirt over a sports bra.
"Ready?"
He asks as I come down the stairs, tieing my hair into a ponytail.
"Yep."
I say and we start driving.
-------
"Thank you again for the lift."
I say closing the door and waving.
"Lydia, your here. Thank goodness. So, I printed out a sheet of which classes you have when, and I've organised a weekly table for your private lessons. Those can be booked once a week, or several weeks in advance. You'll get the hang of that eventually."
She hands me a folder and a sheet of paper with a schedule on it.
