Dance your heart out

Chapter 2: Dance studio

{DEREK'S POV}

I got up early to cook Emily breakfast. I went downstairs and saw Emily laughing with Mark. Damn. I really can't wake up earlier than this girl. When we were in London we had a sleepover at mark's house. She was always the one who wakes up early.

"Hey brother!" Mark says looking at me
"Good Morning D" Emily said with a smile. Oh god that smile again.
"Good morning" I said with a smile to both of them
"I cooked pancakes and bacon for breakfast" she said. " Do you want me to cook some eggs?" She added
"No it's okay thanks" I told her. "You don't have to cook for us Em." I continued.
"I told her that a million times but she really wants to cook" Mark said smiling. I ate some pancakes.. Wow. This is good.
"So Derek, you're going to bring Emily today at rehearsal?" Mark added
" yeah! If she wants to" I said looking at her then back at the pancakes. I was hoping that emily would say no this time because of the routine.
"Yes I want to" she answered. I nodded and continued to eat. "Do you want me to? Seems like you don't want me to come anymore" she added.
"No, I want to. I just love this pancakes" I said. I got an alibi ha!

...

I took a bath and picked out my clothes. I just wore a plaid shirt and black pants. I looked in the mirror and took a deep breath. I just have to avoid the kiss and it will be fine. I step outside my room and I immediately saw emily. She wore black short and tank top with a big cardigan over it. She looks good. I mean she is gorgeous.
"You ready?" I asked her.
"Sure am" she smiled
We went downstairs and saw Mark waiting for us.
"Ready?" He asked
Both emily and I nodded
"She's riding with me right?" I asked
"It's her choice" Mark said
"I'll take a cab" she said jokingly
"No you're not. You're riding with me" I said
"Yes boss" she said to annoy me
I smiled and led her to my car. I opened the passenger's door for her and closed it as she went in. Before I could go to the driver's door, Mark stopped me.
"You still like her don't you?" He asked
"I don't know" I answered
"Well then I guess I can ask her out if you don't like her anymore" he said. I feel something burning inside of me when heard those word.
"I didn't say I don't like her anymore" I said then opened my door and drove away.

"Hey you okay? What did you and Mark talked about?" Emily asked
"Oh it's nothing don't worry" I answered

We arrived at the studio and I saw all the paparazzi outside waiting. I told her to wear her shades and just follow me.
I opened my door and the paparazzi went crazy. Shouting "DEREK! Can you sign this please. DEREK! Can we take a picture?"
I shouted back "I'll be there in a bit"
I went to the passengers door to open it for Emily. She got out and I feel the paparazzi taking millions of picture of her. I escorted her inside and asked her to wait for me. I went back outside and talked to the paparazzi. One reporter asked me "hey Derek was that your girlfriend?". I answered "no she's just a friend from London" s

I went back inside and saw Emily talking to some of the troop members. One in particular, Tristan. She was smiling while talking to him. I walked up to them and I heard Tristan saying "how come you don't have an accent if you grew up in London?" In his Irish accent. "I don't know I just didn't pick up the accent probably. My parents don't have accents either" she answered. I finally interrupted "hey let's go". "Oh yeah I have to go, see you" she said with a smile. "nice meeting you Emily" Tristan said. Was I jealous? I don't know.

We went to the studio where Maria is already there. No camera man yet cause it's too early. As soon as Maria saw us, she stood up and ran to me for a hug. The most uncomfortable hug I've ever been in, cause I know Emily is there. I introduced Emily to Maria and they got along pretty well actually. Maria and I did some warm ups while Emily was sitting at the corner on her phone. When we finished Emily got up and asked if she can see the routine we were working on.

The music started and Maria and I started our routine. There was a lot of hip and sexy movement which I was so uncomfortable to show to Emily but I have to. We got to the part where Maria and I kiss. We've been winging it every rehearsal so probably she won't kiss me this time. But.... She did. She kissed me and I was shocked. "Derek what's wrong? Was it bad?" Maria asked. I was still in shock. "no it was good" Emily interrupted. "That routine was awesome" she added. "Thanks" Maria said with a laugh. "I like your laugh" Emily said. "aww thankyou sweetie" Maria answered.

"Anyone wants something to drink. I feel like going to starbucks" Emily said.
