My phone goes off and I look at the text message from Michael.

Out front waiting.

I leave a note for Dee and Clarissa since their out shopping for when they come back. Then I go and get into the limo and ask Michael how the video is going to go.

"Well you're going to play my girlfriend in it, and we're out on a movie date when you're character gets scared and goes out of the theatre and we're walking when we're crowded by zombies. I become one, we dance, and then you wake up from it as a bad dream."

I nod. "Sounds good. But maybe there could be a second where your eyes are the same as the werewolf's and then the video ends. That would be great 'cause that means it's probably not a dream after all."

"Hey that's good. You'd just have to take that up with John, but I think he'd like it."



After we pulled up to the spot in downtown L.A. where they were filming Michael and I both had to go and change for the first scene. After getting dressed and going through makeup we are told to get into the car. Which was a beautiful car! I'm horrible at cars so I couldn't tell what kind it was, but it was beautiful!

"And....Action!"

Michael puts the car in drive and we roll down for about half the road when we slow and stop. He puts it in park and sighs. I just stare at him.

"Honestly we're out of gas," he says with a smile and laugh. When he smiles I smile too so I turn into a yeah-suuuure smile.

"So what're we gonna do now?" He looks at me for a few seconds and John says, "Cut! Okay that was good keep that. Next scene!"

"Well that was fast," I say to Michael.

"Yeah. We all kind of want to get to the dancing part since that'll take longer to shoot."

"Good point."

"Okay guys start walking for the scene! You know what to do at 'action'!"

We walk for half a minute when John says action and we walk a little more and I put my hand on Michael's arm.

"Sorry I didn't beleive you Michael," I say. Michael stops and says,"Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, what?"

"You know I like you don't you?"

I nod and say,"Yes."

"And I hope you like me the way I like you."

"Yes."

"I was wondering if.....you would be my girl."

I smile and hug Michael while laughing a little. "Oh Michael." Michael put a ring on my finger and says,"Well now it's official." I smile. "It's beautiful," I say. Then it goes into the werewolf sequence which takes a couple of hours with makeup and all. After that the first day of filming is done. And I talked to John about the eye thing at the end and he said he liked it.

On the way back to the hotel I check my phone to realize it's 23:00. (I've set my phone for military time since it makes more sense to me.)

"Crap. Dee and Clarissa'll never let me back in. They're both deep sleepers. And they have the room key, frig my life!"

Michael laughs.

"It's not funny!" I start laughing. He laughs more. "Shut up," I say leaning on his chest because laughing makes me a little weak. After our little laugh fest Michael invites me to his place for the night. I smile and tell him thank you and we pull up to his place in a few minutes since we went past the hotel while we were laughing.

"This is your--of course it's your house it's just....huge!" I laughed a little on the inside at realizing what I said. And also cursing my friends for making me think this way. But you can't change the past, so....yeah.

"Janet's here visisting and she's probably asleep. And I don't think I have many other guest rooms."

"I don't mind sharing a bed." I start laughing so hard tears prick at my eyes. "Calm down Michael. I'm not gonna do anything. I just meant it as a little joke."

I heard him sigh a little in relief and something else. We went to his room and I used one of his bigger T-shirts and crawled into bed.

"Goodnight Michael," I say. I feel weight behind me on the bed.

"Goodnight."

I must NEVER tell Dee and Clarissa this. Or my mother. Oh, God what would my uncles and cousins do?

I am an only child raised by a single mom and the only girl in my generation of cousins on my mother's side and though they're the same age as me they're still very protective. I've never actually been on a date yet. Or had my first kiss which makes me blush every time I'd say that to a girl in a conversation 'cause they've either just had it or had it years ago. So if they found out about this....Michael would more than likely wind up in the hospital.
