Mary and Joey just pulled up to Joey's private hotel in Manhattan. The hotel was only ten minutes from Mary's dance school and fifteen from Joey's studio. Joey was making a new CD and Mary was going to do a duet with him for New Classic.

"Oh my god," Mary gasped, "this place is all yours!?"

"Yep, do you like it?" he asked

"Its beautiful!!" she exclaimed. "What floor are we on!?" she asked excitedly.

"Oh, your gonna love this," Joey said with a chuckle, "we're in the penthouse!"

Mary was quiet for a minute and Joey took the quietness the wrong way.

"I'm sorry, we can get another room if you want," he said, concern in his voice.

"What!?" Mary exclaimed. "No, I like the penthouse," she said with a whole new burst of excitement, "lets go!"

They got their bags out of the trunk and walked in the hotel. The inside was even more beautiful than the outside. It had a huge chandelier in the lobby, the door to the left was a indoor swimming pool, and the door to the right was a spa.

"Hey Hutson," Joey greeted the man behind the check-in desk. "Mary this is Hutson, Hutson this is Mary." he introduced.

"Nice to meet you" Mary said.

"The pleasure is all mine Miss Mary," Hutson said with a smile, "your room is all ready Mr. Parker, here are your keys."

"Thanks," Joey said taking the keys and giving one to Mary. "That is your own personal key," Joey said to Mary, "keep up with it, I can't tell ya how many of them I've lost." he said with a smile.

"Well lucky for you I'm more responsible," Mary said playfully as they stepped into the elevator.

She looked at the key and saw it had her name written on it in fancy gold letters. She looked at Joey who was staring at her with a smile.

"What?" she asked

"I love you, thats what." he said giving her a kiss on the lips.

"I love you to." she said with a smile.

They walked out of the elevator and up to the penthouse door. Joey unlocked the door and pushed it open. The room was huge!! Everything in the kitchen matched black and white. It had a window facing the park. The living room had a big screen TV, a couch, a couple of chairs, a desk, lamps and pictures. There was a bathroom too. The bedroom was by far the most impressive. It had a huge bed,a big screen TV, two dressers,a huge bathroom, two night stands,and three lamps. As they unpacked they both were in their own thoughts.

"This is great," Joey thought, "I'm with the girl of my dreams,and I'm working on a new CD with her, this is awesome!"

"This is great," Mary thought, "I'm out of Dominique's house, I'm with the guy of my dreams, and I'm going to dance school, this is awesome!"

They were both content with where their lives were heading and knew that what ever problems they might have along the way, they would face them. Head on. Hand in hand. Hoping that love would be enough to beat them.
