"Hey," Howie was smiling when I opened my door.
"Hi," I said shyly. Now, that is something that is hard for me to be. I never get shy!
"You ready?" he asked.
"Yeah, Leah?" I called.
"Is it him?" she asked walking up, Shawn right behind her.
"Yeah, you ready?" I asked.
"Yeah, let's go," she said.
"So, who's riding with who?" I asked.
"Shawn and I can ride in our car and you can ride with Howie," Leah answered.
"Ok," I said smiling at her. I finally convinced her that I can want to get to know someone better without wanting to date them. Even though, I found Howie's brown eyes almost irrestible. (I wasnt talking about him!, LOL Leah- (rich).
"Is that cool?" I asked Howie.
"Yeah, thats cool," Howie nodded.
"Great, let's go," I said. We walked down the driveway, Howie rushed to my side and opened the door for me.
"Aww, thanks," I gushed.
"Im gonna try to do this right," he whispered.
I looked at him confused and got into the car. He got in and started it up.
"Let's go," he said.
"Lets," I smiled.
He pulled out of the driveway and we were on our way.
"So, Howie, you work for a radio station?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool," he nodded.
"That would be cool. To work for a radio station," I said smiling.
"Yeah," he said.
We stopped talking and there was a long, uncomfortable silence. I had no clue what to talk about, I was just too nervous.
"So, how did the tour go?" he asked, after the long silence.
"Good,the fans were great," I smiled, starting to get a little comfortable.
"Are you with anyone?" Howie asked taking his eyes off the road for a moment to ask me.
"No," I laughed, "If I was, I wouldnt be here right now."
He smiled and just nodded.
"Why?" I asked grinning.
"Just wondering, for future reference," he told me.
"Future reference?" I asked.
"Yeah," he laughed.
"Ok," I laughed.
Howie parked the car and Leah and Shawn parked theirs next to ours.
"I havent been to a club in so long," I said smiling.
"Well, we're going to have fun tonight," Howie assured me.
"Ok," I smiled up at him.
I turned around and Leah and Shawn were holding hands, talking to each other.
"When was the last time you've been to a club?" I asked Leah.
"A few months," she answered.
We got into the club, no problem. Thank goodness no one recognized me.
"Wanna dance?" Howie asked.
"Of course," I said. He took my hand and a sudden warmth washed over my body. I started to feel giddy, but I couldnt act like that, Howie would think I was dumb, especially considering the fact that Ive known him a whole, what two days, not even that.
We started dancing together and let me tell you, he was a good dancer. We were dancing really close, when someone tapped my shoulder. I stopped dancing and turned around.
"Are you Marissa Daniels?" the guy shouted over the music. I looked around nervously.
"Yeah," I answered, nodding my head.
"Tight!" he exclaimed.
"Can I dance with you?" he asked.
"Im with someone," I said, feeling bad.
"Go ahead, dance with him. I'll get us some drinks," Howie said smiling.
"Ok," I agreed.
The guy and I started to dance. He was a goof dancer, but I wasnt going to be rude, so I just danced along with him.
After the song ended, I smiled and pointed towards the bar, where Howie was.
"I'll see you later, Im going to find my friend," I shouted.
"Can I get an autograph, a picture maybe?" he asked.
"Uh, sure, I'll be at the bar. When you get a pen and a camera, come let me know," I told him.
"Ok," he smiled.
I walked off to find Howie. He was sitting at the bar, taking sips of his drink.
"Im sorry," I said sitting down next to him.
"Thats ok. I got you water because I dont know what you like," he said.
"Thanks. Im underage anyways," I said smiling.
"Oh, that's right," he laughed.
"Hey hon, Shawn is being a jerk. We're going to go home," Leah said coming up.
"Oh, I'll walk you out," I said getting up.
"Dont worry about it. We'll go shopping tomorrow, ok?" she asked.
"Ok, that sounds cool.
I looked at Howie and smiled, now it was just me, him, and the other million or so people in the club.
