UNMASKING THE DANCER

18. The kiss.

  Diane's pov

     His lips met mine with a sigh and I felt sparks start up within my belly, spreading throughout my whole body as he moved his lips against mine.

    This wasn't happening, this wasn't happening, I said repeatedly in my mind trying to convince myself that it was all a dream but the feel of his lips against mine proofed that wrong, he was really kissing me, aahhh!.

   We stayed like that for a few more moments with me melting against him and he supporting me with his arms until it dawned on me that anyone could walk in, so I reluctantly pulled away, making sure to avoid eye contact,

   "Uh.. the door is open..",

    "I know..",

    "A-anyone could walk In..",

    "I know",

    "I should go",

    "No don't worry, take your time, I'll excuse you",

     "No, this is the male dressing room, I should be the one...",

     He placed his hands on my lips shutting me up and whispered, "I said I'll excuse you",

    "Uh, okay",

    Nodding, he left the room still looking handsome and calm different from my incalm and ruffled self.

   I stayed like that for a moment, trying to gain back my composure because my legs were so wobbly, i thought I would fall flat on my face anytime.

    After staying in that position for a while, I was able to stand on my feet without stumbling. So I put on my heels before going backstage.

    "Where have you been?" Lizzy, one of the other dancers asked and I felt heat rise in my cheeks for no reason,

    "Uhmm, I mixed up the rooms",

     "Okay but be fast, The band would soon be called upstage" she said and I nodded,

    I sat in front of a large mirror to touch-up my makeup and saw that my lips were deliciously swollen, making me nibble them unconsciously. I just hope Lizzy hadn't noticed it.

    I could hear that fans voices in the concert hall and wondered where Ryan was. His band mates were backstage too and were getting prepared but he was nowhere to be found.

   He however came out from where ever he was just before they were called upstage and the band went out into the love of their fans.

   We dancers arranged ourselves at the entrance of the backstage and went upstage when the song started. The screams of fans increased as we started dancing and I basked in the love of fans.

    I danced energetically making sure to give my all and i got rewarded with fans love.

   We danced throughout the five songs they sang and we soon went back stage admist the request of fans to sing another song.

   We all collapsed into different chairs immediately we went backstage and grabbed bottles of water from the ones Miss Flynn offered us.

   I opened up a bottle and was gulping the water down when Jade walked into the backstage.

   "Kamilah!" She called out in greeting and I smiled at her,

    "Jade, you came",

    "Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world" she replied and I smiled,

   "So how was my performance?" I asked as I dropped the half drank bottle of water,

    "You were amazing, like literally shining on the stage" she exclaimed making my face brighten,

      "thanks"

     "You're welcome"

      I changed back into my own clothes and thankfully nothing eventful happened even though I secretly hoped it would.

     After sometime, we stepped out through the back entrance and the security guided the band to the black van while Jade draped an heavy jacket over my head and led me to where she had parked her car.

      We got into her car and she drove out of the concert's venue some moments later.

    We chatted lightly on our way to the hotel until my phone rang,

    I fished for it through my bag and upon getting it, saw the caller ID to be Mr Jon's,

     "Hello" I said into the phone,

      "Kamilah, I'm sorry to disturb you but the crowd and taking care of things made forget to inform you of this",

      "And what is that?" I asked getting curious with his last statement.

     What could have been so important that he had to call me now,

     "There would be a photoshoot for the band in the next two weeks. I just wanted to inform you as Kamilah, so I won't disturb you as Diane",

     "That's fine and I appreciate the consideration",

     "Okay bye, gotta go",

      "Bye"

     The line went dead and I turned to face Jade,

     "Was that Mr Jon?",

     "Yeah",

      "What did he say?",

      "Just that there would be a photoshoot for the band in two weeks time",

      "Hmm, that would be interesting",

      "Why do you say that?",

      "Well, after the photoshoot, your picture would be on the net for everyone to see and the paparazzi would surely come around",

      "Ugh!, That's the part I hate" I said and she chuckled,

      "Don't we all hate it".

      We spent the rest of the drive chatting lightly about other things and some minutes later, she stopped in front of the hotel building,

    I got out and waved at her before heading into the lobby of the building and into the elevator.

    I was opening the door to my room moments later and I dropped on the available couch after locking the door.

   I stayed there for sometime before heading into the bedroom where I got prepared for bed. The kiss I had shared with Ryan kept popping up in my mind and I found myself blushing just at the thought.

     I hopped on the bed after putting on a loose shirt and I slept off with a certain someone on my mind.
