My Secret

Staceys pov

This morning was the first day of training with kev. Spencer was excited because he wanted me to get to movies week so that he could come and watch but also because he would be allowed to come into some of our training sessions. I was already ready but now i just needed to get little man ready. "Come on bud mummies got to go." He ran in and i gave him some pancakes he could eat int the car and he got changed into some jeans and a checkered button up shirt with some white trainers. "Do my hair please?" "How?" "Like kevs." I sighed laughed and put him some gel in and styled it like kevs. My god he actually looked like a mini kev. "You look like a mini kevin." "Yay. Thats good." He ran and got his coat on and grabbed his ipad and we both walked down to the car and i drove him to clares. "Hiya clare." "Alright stacey. Mini kevin." Spencer smiled and he ran and sat down with his pancakes. "Cant look after him week after next.Got that holiday." "Ok." I said goodbye to them both and drove back to central London and pulled up outside the studio kev had hired out. I walked in and kevin greeted me at the door. "Miss Dooley." "Mr Clifton." He took me up to our room and he told me what we what dance we were doing. "Right this week we are doing something that has never been attempted in Strictly history." "Oh god." "We are doing a quickstep." "Ok no idea what that means but ok lets do it." He ran me through some of the choreography and soon enough the camera crew came in so we had to be careful what we spoke about because main source of conversation had been Spencer but nobody else knew about him apart from kev so we had to be careful. After about half an hour they left and we carried on dancing and we stopped for little lunch break. "How was he last night. Didnt keep you up did he?" "No actually hes a really good sleeper. When it gets to this time of the year he always wants to go to bed really early during the week and then stay up saturday night to watch you." "I feel honoured." "What even when hes asking a million and one questions in the space of a five minute car ride." "Ye makes me feel special. I used to struggle really bad with anxiety and what people thought about me and i would always do stuff to please other people rather than myself so to know that people are actually interested in what im doing with my career rather than my break ups and all that shit makes me feel ten times better about myself. I once left dancing on broadway in america to dance in a small amusement park in florida because someone wanted me to." "Well i mean theres nothing wrong with wanting to please people. Thats why no one knows about spencer because they will all judge me for being a single mum." "If you dont mind me asking what actually happened to his dad." "Basically remember when i went out with sam tucknott." "Yeah?" "Well he was horrible. He beat me and everything but when i had spencer i told myself that if he ever hurt him or laid a finger on him i would leave and he did. Spencer was up all night crying so sam turned him upside down and held him like that until he stopped. I left and havent looked back since. I was offered strictly before but sam didnt want me to do it because he thought people would catch on so i didnt do it but i left him middle of last year and now here i am." "Jeez. And i thought you two looked happy together.Women really are strong then. Your doc was right." I chuckled and he smiled at me. Why ever someone left him i dont know. "Huh did you say something stace." "Huh no." Damn must have said that out loud. Shit its half six. Are you needing to get off to the babysitter." "If you dont mind." "No problem." I searched for my car keys but i couldnt find them anywhere. They had the house keys on them. "Shit." "Whats up stace?" "Ive put the keys somewhere and now cant find them." "Right ummm dont panic. Did you leave them in your car?" "Possibly but even then the car will have locked." "Right well first lets see if we can find them and the we can worry about that." We looked everywhere in the studio and they werent there so i went and looked through the car window and sure enough they were there on the floor in front of the drivers seat so i tried opening the car door but it wasnt working. "Right now we have a problem. Ill phone a cab and get spencer and we'll stop in a hotel until they can ship the spare keys out."

Kevin PoV

Now was my chance. "You could always stay with me for a couple of days. Theres a spare bedroom for you and i have a blow up bed if Spencer wants to stay." "No im not intruding. Im sure you'll get fed up of training with me 9 hours a day." How could i get bored of her. "No honestly its no problem." "You sure." "Positive." "Right ummm ill phone a cab and go get him and then ill meet you back here. Sound good?" "Or i could just get us both a cab back to mine and then ill drive us down. Only reason i dont bring the car here is because its a waste of petrol for a two minute drive down the road when i could just walk and get some fresh air." "Are you definitely sure." "Yep. come on ill phone a cab now." I rang up the cab and it arrived and we both got in and it took me to mine and I ran in grabbed the car keys and we drove all the way down to Clare I think her name was. "Hiya bud." "Kevin!" I picked him up and threw him in the air. "Hairs on point." I gave him a high five and he smiled. He was slowly dropping to sleep in my shoulder. "Want me to grab him Kev." "Nah he's good." I walked up to the car and fastened him in. Stacey cane and sat in the passenger seat and we drove all the way back to mine. I carried him into the bedroom and laid him on the bed. He was already in his pyjamas so there was no messing about. "Night bud." "Nighty night kev."
