Chapter Eight: Picked Up
Your POV
"I KNEW IT!"
"Just stop okay..."
"NO NO...I KNEW you would catch someone's eye."
"Okay yes, you were right...but don't you think its weird? He's technically my boss."
"Um...partner...." She wiggled her eyes. "Obviously for more than one thing."
"Oh my god shut up." I rolled my eyes.
"So where are you going to go?"
"I'm not sure...he didn't say."
"When are you going?"
"I don't know that either...it's been a week since I've seen him."
"A WEEK? AND YOU'RE JUST TELLING ME ABOUT IT NOW?!"
"Well I was moving and processing everything...I had a hard time believing it really happened. Plus I start work tomorrow."
"OH MY GOD...you're going to have such cute dancer babies!"
"Will you stop...I haven't even gone out with him yet."
"Uhhh technically, you had a romantic picnic in the dance studio...alone. Sounds like a date to me."
I roll my eyes. "Okay Alex, if it makes you feel better I'll consider it a date."
"As you should...now...lets go over rules."
"Rules?"
"Rules. Rule number one: Don't sleep with him on the first date."
"ALEX!"
"Rule number two: Be SURE you kiss in on the first date...that is crucial."
"Why?"
"Because it will allow you to see if there is any chemistry. First kisses are very important...they sent the tone for the rest of the relationship."
"You're insane."
"Rule number three: Don't wear anything too revealing...but give him SOMETHING to look at. Like a tight dress or...whatever."
"How am I supposed to do that if I don't even know where we are going or what we are doing...he doesn't seem to be the...stereotypical date kind of guy."
"Hmm...true...okay rule number three is conditional. Rule number four: Get in good with his friends. You will go so much farther if you get along with his friends."
"You mean the other 6 owners of the biggest music company in the world...that'll be easy." I said sarcastic thick in my tone.
She narrowed her eyes at me. "I don't like the tude..."
"This is ridiculous Alex...why are you like this?"
"Because I want you to be happy...you...you deserve to be happy for once." Her tone much softer.
"Awe." I gaver her a big hug as she struggled to get away.
"WHY?!
"Because I love you."
She pat my back slowly. "Let go."
I giggled and released her. "I have to go though...I need to put all my stuff away and organize all my belongings in the new room."
"That'll be fun...I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too."
She kissed me on the cheek and gave me a sad smile. I walked outside pulling my phone out to call a cab when a black SUV pulled up. My mouth dropped when I saw Jimin step out of the back seat.
"Hey beautiful." he smiled.
"Um...hey...what are you doing here?"
"I thought you could use a ride."
"Um...thanks." I said as he took my bag from me. I started to follow him to the car. "How did you know I was about to leave?"
He stopped an stiffened a bit and when he turned towards me he was biting his lip. "I um...I overheard you on the phone yesterday when you dropped your clothes off. You said something about coming back today to put things away...so I kind of..."
"Loitered until I walked out of my apartment?" I asked raising a brow.
He giggled. "I guess you could say that. Come on."
I got into the car with him and once the door was shut we were on the move.
"So is your roommate sad for you to be leaving?"
"Um...well yes and no."
"Care to elaborate?"
"Yes because we've been living together for a long time and she's my best friend."
"And no because?..."
"No because she's happy for me."
I left it at that because I did not want to get into the conversation I just had with Alex. But the look on his face told me he could tell there was something else. He was smirking...a smug little smirk that, damn it, looked so good on him.
"That's it?"
I narrowed my eyes. "That's all I'm going to tell you."
His eyes disappeared as he laughed. "As long as you're not lying it's fine."
"What is it with you and lying?" I asked bluntly. "Just because I don't want to tell you everything doesn't mean I'm lying to you."
"True. Which is why I accepted that you didn't want to tell me anything else." He simply stated. "Had you said that that was it, I would have been upset...because you would have been lying."
I turned away to look out the window. A minute or two passed when I turned back towards him. "How do you know?"
"Know what?"
"If I'm lying."
"You umm...your pupils dilate a little."
I didn't respond and we spent the rest of the ride in a comfortable silence to the dorm building. He walked me to my room and I turned to look at him. "Are you going to follow me forever?"
He smirked. "I was just going to see if you wanted any help setting up your room...I'm really good at leveling things."
"I will be fine...besides I only work 4 days a week and performances so I'll have plenty of time."
I watched as his smile fell and he nodded saying his goodbyes. I instantly felt guilty...he was just trying to help. He took only two steps before I was calling out to him again.
"Wait!" he stopped and turned. "I may not need help putting stuff up...but if you want to hang out with me while I start, you can...if you want."
"I'd love that." He smiled walking back towards me. When he reached me he took hold of my arm gently and leaned in to kiss my cheek.
I closed the door and he laid on my bed crossing his ankles and putting his hands behind his head. I need to stop looking directly at him or his smile will blind me I swear.
"Why me?" I asked him boldly. I walked up next to him sitting by his hips. "Why this interest in me? Is that why I was chosen? Just because you liked me?"
He sat up on his elbows with an annoyed look on his face. "You were chosen for the program because you're talented...me liking you had nothing to do with it."
"AH...so you do like me." I smirked back at him.
He smiled and reached one hand up to cup my face. "Obviously."
I leaned into his touched and sighed. "But why? What...I just...why?"
He pulled his hand away and he looked as if he was debating something. "I just...I felt a good vibe from you. You are a beautiful dancer...you're a beautiful woman...and you were so different from the other girls...personality wise I mean. I just...really want to get to know you better."
I couldn't help but smile. "Okay." I nodded. "My favorite color is purple. And recently my new favorite food is Jin's cooking."
He laughed. "I'll be sure to tell him that...he'll love it."
"What about you?"
He cocked an eye at me. "What about me?"
"I want to know about you too."
He hesitated, looking as if he was thinking hard. "What do you want to know?"
"You're really good friends with the rest of your crew it seems." He nodded. "How do you know all of them?"
"Um..." he lenaed up more to sit. "Our familys go way back...so I guess you could say we grew up together."
"And you all ended up working together too?"
He nodded again. "We are all really passionate about music. It's the one thing we all have in common honestly."
"What is your favorite color?"
"Red." He reached his arms out to me and I wasn't sure why. "Come here." He smiled.
"Im...sitting right next to you." I replied.
"It's not close enough." He leaned forward grabbing me by the waist and hoisted me to sit on his lap. Each leg resting over his thighs. His hands moved up my back and over my neck stopping as they tangled in my hair. He took hold of the roots of my hair tugging slightly causing my chin to slant upward. He pressed his lips to my neck kissing me softly once...then twice. I felt my heart start to race and when Jimin leaned back to face me I could see his breathing was heavy.
He swallowed thickly and I thought I was dreaming when he asked the next question. "Can I kiss you?"
