Good chapter ahead  😏

Well at least I think it's good. You tell me when you're done.

Friday night came and it was the last individual class with Harry this week.
And I needed to achieve those thirty fucking Rond de jambe fouetté.
Today was my deadline.

I was nervous, but prepared.

That day I decided to skip classes in the morning, mostly because I wanted to avoid Zayn, but also to rest my legs before the class with Harry.

I slept all morning, and it was amazing.

Emily was kinda annoyed that she had to go alone, but she is a big girl, she can handle it.
Best part was leaving Liam without a partner, Emily said he was completely angry.
He couldn't do the class without his duet. Oops.

It was a pretty good day, and it was about to get even better.
Because I could see Harry.

"Hello!" - I said as I crossed the door.

"Good mood today?" - He smirked.

"Very." - I nodded and sat on the floor to do my usual stretching.

"You missed class today though." - He said while leaning on the barre.

"Yeah, sorry. I was trying to avoid your assistant, you know?"

"Oh. Sure. Yeah, I get it. I can talk to him if he is bothering you, you know?"

"No, it's alright. I will handle it on my own."

"Sure."

"Can we start? I'm ready to nail those turns."

Harry laughed.
He laughs so damn cute.

"Yes. Want to do a couple of exercises first? Since you didn't train in the morning..."

"Yeah, that would be great." - I smiled.

We started with a few warming up exercises in the barre and a few simple sequences as a training and balance checking.
But for the first time, He wasn't just telling me what to do, he was actually doing them by my side.

Weird.

"It doesn't hurt you? This kind of exercise?" - I asked when we ended up with the tendú sequence.

"I have to recover my strength and all at some point. I need to start by doing something, don't you think?" - He said and I nodded. - "And now that you know, I thought I could use this time too. Not only to help you. Although I know I won't be able to dance like before, I can't stay still and do nothing either."

"Sure, I don't know what I'd do if that happens to me. I would probably be depressed and crying for years."

"Yeah, been there too. But eventually I thought I needed to do something with my life. And that's teaching."

I smiled at him sincerely.

We kept doing tendú and dégage for a while.
Then he put the barre aside and we moved on to simple turns, déboulés, pirouettes and promenades.
All in order to find my inner balance.

Of course Harry didn't do those movements. That would be too hard on his knee. He just watched me doing them. But it was good to have his company while it lasted.
