"Are you gonna go home right away?" Amanda asked Eve as they gathered their luggage.

"Yeah I'm going to go see Daddy, might stay there for a while. I'll tell him you said hi."

"OK."

"When are you coming?"

"I don't know? I'll have to ask Johnny what's going on. I'll call you and let you know."

"Okay." Eve stepped into the car and soon left.

Amanda spotted Josh standing outside leaning against the wall. She walked over to him.

"Long time no see." She said to him.

He laughed lightly. "Nice to see you."

"You too...so where are you heading?" She asked

"I don't know? I'm waiting for one of the guys or bodyguards to come get me."

"Well your coming with me." She grabbed his arm and pulled him to the cab.

"Hey Justin! I'm going with Amanda!" He said seeing Justin walk out of the airport.

"Okay!" Justin said

Josh sat in the back with Amanda.

"Where are we going?" He asked

"To San Diego."

"Why there?"

"I live there."

"Oh yeah."

"Yeah...and don't you remember our 'date'?" She said quoting date.

He smiled brightly. "Oh yeah...but you said it wan't a date."

"Just said that to try and cheer you up."

"Aw. Thanks. So you want to go tonight?"

"Are you up for it?"

"Only if you are."

"Of course." She smiled.

"What am I going to wear?"

"You wanna drop by your hotel to get some clothes?"

"Sure."

"Sir, can you please stop at the Marriot Hotel in Los Angeles real quick?"

"Ok."

The cab driver stopped in front of the Marriot Hotel.

"Well be back down in about 10 minutes." Josh told the driver.

"Ok sir."

Josh and Amanda exited the cab and went up to his room. Josh grabbed some dark blue denim jeans and a white wife-beater with a black button up t-shirt and some shoes. He put it all in a black duffle bag.

"Are we going back to your place?" He asked

"Yeah."

"I'll just get dressed there. That ok?"

"That's fine."

"Ok I'm ready let's go."

They went back down to the cab and left to San Diego.

Amanda unlocked the door; Josh followed her inside.

�Nice place.� He said

�Thanks.�

�You live with anyone?�

�Yeah me and Marcie live together.�

�Really? You two are close?

�Yeah she�s like my sister.�

�Cool.�

�What time is it?� She said out loud looking at her watch. �9:00. we can leave soon.�

�Okay.�

�Here you can change in here.� She showed him the guest bedroom. �It has it�s own bathroom.�

�Oh really? Can I take a quick shower?�

�Go ahead.�

�Ok.�

She went back to her room and she also took a quick shower. She couldn�t get her mind off thinking of Josh in the shower. �Stop it Amanda!� she told herself. She finished her shower and got dressed. She walked out of her room, passing by the room Josh was in. The door was cracked open a little, she looked in and saw Josh standing in the room with no shirt on. �Damn he has a nice body!� She thought to herself. She shook the thoughts out of her head and continued walking downstairs.

JC walked downstairs and saw Amanda in the kitchen leaning over the counter bar reaching for something. She was wearing black leather pants and a red over the shoulder tight shirt with rhinestones. �She looks beautiful.� he thought to himself.

�Hey.� He said

Amanda looked over at him, he looked handsome.

�Hey, Ooo�lookin� sharp.�

He smiled cheesy. �Same to you�lookin� gorgeous.�

She smiled. �Thank you.�

�When I was coming downstairs I was looking at the pictures and I wondered, do you have any brothers or sisters?�

�No�Ev-�er, Marcie is like a sister to me.�

�You must have been spoiled.�

�Kind of, well you ready?�

�Yeah.�

They grabbed their coats and walked outside to Amanda�s silver Mercedes Benz.

�Wow! You have a nice car.�

�It�s not mine. It�s my dad�s.�

�Oh really�He close by?�

�Yeah he lives here in San Diego.�

They both got inside the car and Amanda drove off.

�You don�t talk much about your parents.�

�What�s there to say?�

�Well what are their names and where do they live?�

�My dad�s name is Edward..� She didn�t finish the answer to his question.

�And your mom?��

�She left when I was young.�

�Oh I�m sorry.�

�It�s alright. I got over it.� She said pushing away the feelings, her heart felt heavy, she stopped herself from crying.

�Are you close to your dad?�

�Yeah I�m a daddy�s little girl.� She smiled.

He laughed. �So where are we going?�

�A dance club called PT�s.�

�Dance club?�

�You said you wanted to go dancing.�

�Yeah, you seemed like you didn�t like dancing when I told you.�

�I don�t hate it. I�ll go dancing once in a while, I enjoy it.�

�Cool.�

A few minutes Amanda pulled into the parking lot. Finding a space up front. They exited the car and went to stand in line. They got to the front of the line quickly and a big black man stood at the entrance holding a clipboard.

�Hey Manda! Haven�t seen you in a while. How�ve you been?� The guy said

�Hi Rob, I�ve been busy with work�good but busy.�

�Yeah I know how that is�So who is this?�

�Oh Rob this is Josh, Josh this is Rob he�s security for the club.� She introduced them. They shook hands.

�Hey man you�re pretty lucky she usually doesn�t bring guys with her.� Rob said

Josh laughed.

�Shut up Rob! Don�t listen to him Josh.� She told him.

�Ok.�

Rob laughed. �You two can go in, have fun.�

�Will do, later Rob.� She said walking into the club. She grabbed Josh�s hand. He was surprised.

�I�ll have to hold your hand so you don�t get lost. It gets crowded in here.� She said

�Okay.�

They walked over to the bar and ordered drinks.

�Let�s go dance!� Josh yelled over the loud music. He grabbed Amanda�s hand pulling her off the seat. They found a empty spot on the dance floor.

Josh pulled her close. �Let�s see what you got.� He grinned.

She laughed. �Oh you ain�t seen nothin� yet baby!�

Amanda put her arms around his neck and they began to dance to the beat of the music. An hour later they were still on the dance floor bumpin� and grinding.

Josh was enjoying this so much. They had their hands all over each other. People created a circle around them, watching. The song ended and a slow song came on.

Amanda stood up straight. �Ok I need a break.� She said

�No.� Josh grabbed her arm and pulled her back. �One more song?� He begged.

�Fine.�

He pulled her close wrapping his arms around her waist. She placed her arms loosely on his shoulders as they swayed to the music. They talked ad they danced to the ballad.

�I�ve had so much fun tonight Amanda, I haven�t had this much fun in a long time.� Josh said

She smiled up at him. �Me too.�

She kept looking at him. Their gaze was locked on each other. Josh leaned in to kiss her, hoping maybe this time he won�t get turned down. Amanda wanted it so bad so she didn�t stop it this time. Josh captured her lips with his. He pulled her closer as she wrapped her arms around his neck tighter. The kiss deepened. Amanda parted her lips allowing his tongue to massage with hers. She was in heaven, he was such a good kisser. Amanda finally pulled away after what seemed like an eternity. They stood there smiling at each other.

�I thought I was gonna get rejected again.� Josh said

�I didn�t care.� She said

He leaned down and kissed her again.

�AMANDA!� Rob yelled across the club.

Their kiss was interrupted, Amanda pulled away looking towards Rob.

�WHAT?!� She said walking over to him. Josh followed.

�You got a call.�

He handed her the phone. She stood outside the club the phone covering one ear and she plugged her other so she could hear.

�Hello?� She said

�Hi Ms. Amanda Jones, you having fun with Mr. Chasez?�

�Who is this?�

�Oh you really don�t need to know that.�

�Who the fuck are you?!�

�Don�t raise your voice at me bitch!�LOOK! YOU BETTER LISTEN AND LISTEN GOOD! I KNOW YOU ARE WITH THE FBI AND IF YOU DON�T TELL JOSH OR THE GUYS SOON�I WILL. AND IF YOU DON�T I WILL TAKE THOSE PRECIOUS LITTLE BOYS FROM YOU!�

�LOOK YOU ASSHOLE I�M NOT TELL ANYONE ANYTHING OR LISTEN TO ANY OF YOUR BULLSHIT!�

�Oh I know your trying to hide it. You can�t let Josh know right? I know. I might as well tell them�and if you don�t I will kill them�I�ll kill them all.� He said then there was the sound of a dead tone.

�Shit!� She said throwing the phone down.

�What happened? Who was that?� Josh asked concerned.

Amanda picked up the phone and gave it back to Rob.

�Rob did he say who he was?�

�No. He just said he wanted to speak to you and you�d know who he was.� Rob said

�Ok. It was him. The stalker. He�s threatening me to tell them who I am.� She whispered to Rob.

Rob already knew that she was the FBI. He had known her even before she went into the academy.

�He did seem a little pissed. You going to tell him?�

�I can�t. But fuck this screws it up! The guy knows who I am. Why should I hide it?�And he knows that I�m here with Josh?�How?�-Damnit! I need to go.�

�Okay you be careful girl.�

�I will�and Rob please don�t say anything.�

�I won�t.� He patted her on the back.

�Let�s go Josh.� She said as she walked to the car.

They got in the car and Amanda speed off.

�Who the hell was that on the phone Amanda?� Josh asked

She could tell he was really concerned.

�It was him�He knows I�m here with you. He was threatening me.�

�OMG! What�d he say?�Are you ok?� He placed his hand on her leg.

�I�m fine�I�m going to drop you off at my place, you can stay there tonight. I have to go somewhere.�

�Amanda, I want to go with you.�

She looked over at him. �I know you do�but you can�t. Please just trust me.� She said with plea in her eyes.

�Ok. I trust you.�

She pulled up into her driveway. She went inside and locked all the doors and windows. She walked back to the door.

�I don�t think he knows where I live�or if he followed us. But if you hear anything suspicious call 911 ok?�

�Ok�but you be careful.� He told her. He pulled her into his arms hugging her. He kissed her on the lips lightly.

She smiled. �Okay.�

�You promise?�

�Promise.�

He kissed her one last time and she walked out the door. He watched her get into her car and drive away. He closed the door and locked it, the deadbolt and all.
