sure no one will bother me.”
    He looks at me a little in shock, “Why don’t you want anyone to know I am here?”
    I laugh and sit back down on the couch and so does he and he turns to look at me waiting for an answer. “Well, it’s kind of a big deal for me to actually be on a date. I have been single for almost two years and have not been out on one date.  Like I said guys hear kids and lose my number.  And besides, as we have discussed, you are famous and it is just a big deal.  And I don’t want people to know, because we don’t know where this is going.”
    “Your afraid people will get all excited and get crazy?”
    I laugh, “Something like that.  They would all get crazy because I am on a date.  I try to avoid dates.”
    “So does that mean I won’t hear from you after tonight?”
    “If I was going to kick you to the curb I would not have wasted a perfectly good unpacking night to spend with you in the first place.  And I would have thrown your number away at the bar last night.”
    He looks at me surprised but amused.  “Well I am glad you didn’t do that.  You actually made my night when you text me.”
    “Oh whatever,” I try to hold back the sarcasm in my voice.
    “You did.  I thought that you would throw it away to be honest.  Writing me off as some creeper or something.”
    “No, I didn’t think you were a creeper, I did have a feeling you were after a booty call though.”
    He shakes his head.  “You read too many gossip magazines.  Not all guys that have money are after one night stands and booty calls.  Do me a favor?  Please throw all stereo types you have about me out the window because I won’t live up to any of them.”
    “Now that just isn’t true.” I laugh.
    “What do you mean?”
    I look out the window and at the very sporty and expensive car parked in front of my house, “that is your car sitting right there isn’t it?” I point.
    “That doesn’t count, everyone has to get from place to place.  My transportation is just a little nicer than most,” he tries to defend himself.
    “Ok if you say so,” I smile again.  He’s so down to earth; I am truly amazed at how easy it is for me to talk to him.  “You really aren’t what I expected at all.”
    “Oh really?”  I see his interest peak. 
    “Yeah, I'm not going to lie, I thought for sure you were going to be stuck up and full of yourself.  I find it weird to be sitting here having an actually very normal conversation with you.”
    “I told you, I am not what you think I am.”
    “I know, but I think most guys would say that no matter how they really are.”
    “Not all guys.  But your right, most of them would.  Especially to get a date with someone like you.”
    “Ok, you’re going a little overboard now,” I giggle.
    “No, I don’t think I am.  I'm not going to lie I wasn’t the only one that was checking you out last night.  A couple of the rookies thought you were very attractive.  And that dress you had on last night was amazing.  I'm glad it was me that broke your fall and not someone else.”
    My face gets red.  “It really wasn’t my fault.  Annie pushed me and I lost balance because I was trying to take my shoes off.”
    He laughs at me.  “I know, I saw her.”
    I look at him, in shock.  “Seriously?”
    “Yeah, that is why I gave you such a hard time about it.  I thought it was quite funny actually.  Not many girls go to those lengths to meet a guy.”  He takes a drink, “I knew there was something different about you last night when I saw you.  You are a lot more down to earth then a lot of girls when it comes to being around someone like me.”
    “Well you said you are just trying to be a normal guy.”
    “Yeah, I try but I don’t always succeed.  Most girls throw themselves at me.”
    “I believe that.  I was surprised there weren’t more girls there last night.”
    “Oh, there were.  They were all upstairs.  That is why I stayed downstairs.
