Toni Troy ran, her dark brown pony tail swishing freely across her upper back. She stopped to tie her shoelace and sing a few lines from 'Til' the World ends' by Britney Spears.

Toni got up, jogging on spot, ready to start again when a really cute guy approached her. He was tall, dark, attractive and ripped.He had short black hair that was recently shaved and large pools of hot cocoa for eyes.

The strangers lips moved but Toni couldn't hear a thing. All she could hear was Britney's high-pitched voice.

"Huh?" She said pulling out her earphones and pressing the screen on her i-pod touch.

"I said, 'Mind if I jog with you?'" his voice was even steamier than his cocoa eyes.

Toni shrugged pretending not to care, but she was secretly hoping that she looked adorable in her purple hoodie, matching shorts and sketcher sneakers. "If you can keep up."she replied and began jogging again.

The man had a surprisingly easy time keeping up with her.

They jogged in silence until he said, "So pretty woman what's your name?"

Toni snorted haughtily then responded, "I hope that's not a poor attempt at flirting."

The guy grinned, "I don't think it was THAT bad."

"Well if you really must know, my name is Toni Troy. What's yours Mr. Mysterious?"

"Demetrius Mc Cartnee but everyone calls me Demetri."

"Related to Jesse?" Toni snickered pushing back some of her purple streaked hair.

Demetri scoffed, "I dunno. I am if you want me to be." he grinned playfully.

She rolled her eyes even though she was enjoying herself immensely.

"So Ms.Troy, how old are you?"

"I'm sixteen. You?"

Demetri whistled. "Wow. I would have thought a year or two older." he stopped jogging to look at her.

"Why?" Toni kicked herself mentally for not lying about her age. She just felt so natural around him...

"Well you're really hot." Demetri grinned sheepishly. "And I'm nineteen and single, could you blame me?"

Toni blushed and poked the inside of her mouth with her tongue before saying, "So?"

"Hm....I guess it's okay." he said patting beside him on the bench on which he was now sitting.

Toni sat beside him. He smelled like after shave and coffee mingling with a tinge of sweat. He smelt like a man.

"What are you doing in Miami?Don't you have university or something?" Toni inhaled deeply then exhaled. He honestly smelt delicious.

"Nope. I'm planning to go sometime later this year. Right now I'm going to relax, maybe earn a few bucks. You know." Demetri turned his handsome face to her.

She nodded even though she DIDN'T know." So which university are you going to?" Toni stretched her long, lightly-tanned legs.

"I got accepted into Harvard." Demetri smiled at her and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"I wanted to go to Harvard all my life." she lied. Harvard was the best one right? Or was it Oxford? Yale? She didn't even know. Matter-of-fact, she didn't care, Demetrius seemed pleased with her answer.

"You're an okay girl Toni Troy." he smiled at her.

Toni snorted, "Okay? Not even amazing?"

"My apologies, you are amazing." he whispered leaning into her.

She half expected him to kiss her, but he just sat there. His eyes burning into her and a smile playing on his lips.

"You're not too bad yourself." Toni said in a low voice.

Demetrius sat back with a satisfied smirk on his face before rising and stretching.

Toni also rose, pulling at her now extremely short shorts.

"Well lady Troy, I have to go. It's nearly time for work." He said turning back to her.

"Oh well, I'll see you around?" she hoped he couldn't hear the disappointment in her voice.

"If you're lucky." he winked and jogged off giving her a little half wave.

Toni walked home. As she entered the house, she entered back into the clutches of crazy Gina and her,surprisingly, even crazier rules.
