"Where exactly are we going?" I question as we have been walking for a good 10 minutes or so.

"I normally come to this spot to get away from people whenever I'm here in LA," He confesses to me as we walk to a closed public pool.

"Okay, next question. Are we even allowed here?"

"If we don't get caught, then yes" He winks and stops in front of the large brick wall. "Here let me help."

He positions himself and puts his hands together. "Just don't look up, whatever you do" I plead.

"I won't, I respect girls." He says.

I rolled my eyes, only because every guy says that and most that do don't even 'respect girls'.

I got a boast from Noah and successfully I didn't fall on my face in the process.

We walk down the edge of the water, he slips off his shoes and socks, then rolls his jeans up.

He shrivers loudly as he puts his feet in, "That's colder than I expected."

I laughed. "What did you expect, it's 12 o'clock at night." I unbuckle my heels and did the same.

"Just you wait" He laughs.

I slowly dip my feet in, "Okay, that was colder than I expected."

"I'll be right back" He gets up and runs to the water cooler, he turns the heat up and comes running back taking a seat next to me.

"I haven't seen you around here before, do you stay around here?" He small talks.

"Well, yes and no. I was born and raised in New Zealand but moved here to Los Angeles 3 years ago." I continue the conversation, moving my legs in circles motions.

"I've always wanted to visit New Zealand, from what I've seen and heard its a beautiful place" He proclaims.

"When you have the chance to go, you should" I smiled remembering the country I once lived in.

"Are you planning to go back anytime soon?" He question.

"Most likely not but who knows." I shrug.

"If you do end up going back, take me with you" He begs, shinning the biggest smile ever.

I laugh, "Only if you are lucky." I pull the tongues. "But what about yourself, are you from around here?"

"I moved from Florida to Los Angeles when I was 16."

"Wow, so you've been living this busy lifestyle for a while now" I chuckle.

"You could say that, how are you enjoying it here? I could only imagine it's a huge difference being here than back home" He visions.

"It really is, it is way hotter here, and the traffic is appalling compared to back home," I laugh a little.

"I hear you on that, something needs to be done about this traffic problem" He laughs agreeing.

"Oh my gosh yes!" I agreed with him. "But I actually love living here, there are a lot more opportunities, plus I also like the lifestyle too."

"It does have its down moments" He admits.

"You do have a point." I nod agreeing.

We fall into a nonawkward silence, It was actually nice.  I just met this guy and I already feel somewhat comfortable to be around him which is rare to come across.

I got up from sitting on the edge of the poolside, he turns to me slightly puzzled.

"What are you doing?" He query.
