UNMASKING THE DANCER

9. Seeing her in a new light.

Ryan's pov

Her eyes were a deep gray with gorgeous depths in them that just seemed to draw you in. And then the strands of blonde hair that had framed her face made her all the more beau........,

Geez, what was i thinking.

I shook my head at the thoughts of kamilah, our band dancer that was going through my head and it earned me a disapproving grunt from the makeup artist that was trying to put some foundation on my face.

It was our third day at the beach house already and it was time to do what we came here for. Everything was set and the first scene would be shot here on the beach.

My band mates were doing one thing or the other as they waited for the makeup artist working on me to be done while the dancers were getting ready inside with Miss Flynn, the dress stylist.

She had recommended denim shorts with a loose multicoloured top for the band and we were in the attire already.

The makeup artist soon finished and went on to my bandmates while the hair stylist took over. I watched him through the mirror in front of me as he brushed through, combed through and creamed through my blonde hair.

By the time he was done, my hair had taken a spiky look at the front while the rest where slicked to the back, giving me that professional but sexy look.

The hair stylist stepped back and went to attend to my bandmates while I brought out my phone.

I went on my social medias handles to see what new rumor or information was going round but didn't expect it when I saw the new post of Selene, our former band dancer.

The post said, "hey fams, I'm here in California for a nice little vacation and I'm already having a good time". Under the statement were pictures of her in a coffee shop, the mall and some other places.

What the hell was she doing in California? Or did she know I was here in California?, Ugh!!!!.

I was however distracted from my thoughts when a loud gasp escaped from my sister who was sitted with us on the beach watching us get ready,

I raised my head to see what had made her gasp and felt my jaw drop open, an expression that was similar to what was on my sister's face.

I watched mesmerized as kamilah walked out of the house with the rest of the dancers in denim bum shorts, multicolored crop top and......well, they were barefooted.

They approached where we sat and upon getting to us, my sister came out of her daze, "Kamilah, is this really you?" She asked, voicing my thoughts,

"Of course, who else?" Kamilah replied,

Maybe the sexy version of yourself that no one has ever seen.

"You look so different" my sister continued oblivious to my thoughts,

"I guess some shorts and top can do that",

"Hmm".

She sat on a chair near my sister and I forced myself to look away from her. She was really attractive but i couldn't see her in any other way except as our band dancer cause that would cause complications.

Clearing my mind of all thoughts and reasons, I waited for preparations to finish and soon enough, Mr Jon signalled us to start the filming of the music video.

Later that evening, we all sat out on the beach eating dinner. My dearest sister who always had her way with the kitchen had prepared a delicious meal of spaghetti and meatballs and everyone was grateful for the meal.

We had done a hell of a lot of work today and everyone was tired. Even Kamilah slouched in her seat while eating slowly through her food.

She was now back to looking cute and cool in cotton slacks but that didn't make her any less attractive. Suddenly remembering my resolutions, I looked away from her but not before I caught her steal a glance at me.

Hmm, what could that mean. I still remembered the way her eyes had widened when I had moved close to her in the kitchen yesterday and how her lips had parted slightly making it......,

Ugh! Ryan, remember you can't see her in any other way than your band dancer, remember that.

I gave myself a mental kick to add to remembrance before facing my almost empty plate. It soon became an empty plate and I stood up,

"I would be going to bed now. Thanks for dinner" I said to everyone in general and saw everyone nod in response before carrying my plate to the kitchen.

I washed it and put it in the plates rack before going upstairs to my room where I got ready for bed.

I dropped on top of my bed minutes later with deep gray eyes on my mind and soon felt myself slip into Dreamland.
