“You're not gonna cry in the club are you?” A teasing tone left Haz’s lips and I chuckled.
“Nah.” He grinned at me, flashing his bright white smile in my direction. I flushed slightly and heard the background music flood the room. Chlo glanced at the floor before she nudged his arm and tilted her head towards the empty floor. He shook his head and I smirked. “Gone shy?” I teased as I heard Chloe scoff.
“Him? Shy? Pfft.” She rolled her eyes and I heard him sigh.
“Once.” I instantly froze as he looked at her and I cleared my throat, the memory of his whispering it against my lips flashed in my minds eye and I went all jelly legged and red.
“Watch this,” she smirked up at me, her mud brown eyes filled with excitement as he plugged his phone into the speaker system. I watched as Jamane studied him and pressed his lips together. The music was louder, but seemed relaxed and I recognised it from an album of Nancy’s. The beat was sultry and my heart thudded. Nancy turned around to face him almost instantly and I watched her grin. She knew the song and knew it well. If he can dance, I'm going to have a heart attack. He winked towards Jamane and waved his hand towards where he stood.
“You know this one yeah?” Jamane nodded and pulled him into him to pat his back.
“Course I do.” He shook himself off and stood next to him. The song started from the beginning and I watched as he moved. He was fluid and smooth but sharp in his expression. I glanced around the small room and watched the girls faces light up as they watched him, there were wolf whistles coming from every angle.
“What song is this?” I leant into Chloe and she giggled.
“The Way by Kelani.” My eyes didn’t leave him not even for a second. Shit he’s so sexy. I shook my head at him as they finished the routine and the room exploded with whistles and claps. I watched as both Haz and Jamane hugged it out on the floor before they started to walk towards where we were standing.
“Bro I dunno why you ever stopped, you’re sick.” Jamane patted his shoulder and I smiled at them. I knew I was blood red. I was warm.
“Teach it now?” A voice popped up from the back of the room and he tilted his head to one side as though he was contemplating it. “It’s supposed to be paired though isn’t it? Why don’t you show us what it’s supposed to look like?” His eyes darkened as he looked at me. I instantly shook my head. I don’t do hip hop and sexy don’t pick me. I pointed towards Nance and his Adam’s apple rose and fell.
“Dance with me?” He muttered as he held out his hand. I took it and he pulled me up with him. Jamane pulled Nancy and I watched as Jays jaw clenched together. I watched Chloe smack his chest hard and laughed a little. I’d missed this feeling. “We’ll do a quick run through and then you can all have a go?” The dancers whooped and clapped and the music played again. I followed his instructions and actions and mimicked them. It was intriguing to see this side of him. Nance and I grasped the dance quickly and before long the rest of the group had paired up into two’s. He placed his hand over my hip and there was a bolt between us. My breathing hiked and I fought off my reaction to move it. We’re just dancing.
“Do you mind if I film it?” Tim smiled at Haz and moved his glasses from off the end of his nose. “I won’t tag you in any social media if you don’t want me to but I can tag some others?” Haz simply nodded. “Ok, I’m picking the people with the most chemistry.” He pointed at us instantly. “You two have tons.” Blood rose to my face as I stood in front of him. I watched as Tim picked a few others including Nance and Jamane. “You two first.” Just dancing. Imagine he’s Jack. We took our places and danced the routine through. It was sexy and sultry and everything I wasn’t but it flowed great. We ended with him over me on the floor. There was sweat dripping down my forehead, I couldn’t see his face under his hood and I felt him kiss my chin as he stood, hauling me up with him.
“Fire! Absolute fucking fire!” Chloe screamed and I laughed. I could barely hear her over the other cheers and claps. He nodded at me. I glanced at Jack who smiled weakly in my direction and slid down the mirror after I high fived Nance. She jogged over towards the floor with Jamane. I watched them dance through it too. There was clearly chemistry there but it was strictly dance chemistry. It was clear Jay was uncomfortable with the situation as he hadn’t smiled once. I felt Chloe’s breath against my hair.
“He’s so jealous,” she chuckled and I joined her.
“He really is, isn’t he?” Their dance finished and there was more applause. I hadn’t realised how sexual it actually was
