Belamour | Jake

29. Dance?

Jay notices how Bella was constantly glancing at Jake, and somehow it hurt him, and he made up the reason that it was his fault, their friendship broke because of him. Bella was hurt because of him.

That was not the only reason though. There was definitely nore to it.

He wanted Bella to be happy, he couldn’t understand what got him so invested in things which were for a whole different purpose and even after the purpose was fulfilled. Why does he still care?

Bella sighs, loud enough for Jay to hear when he follows her gaze, seeing Mia and Jake pair up. Mia getting all clingy on Jake and Jake just allowing her to whatever the hell she wanted.

Something in Jay shakes him up and he stands up abruptly, he points his fingers at Mia and Jake, yelling, “You can’t do that!” his voice aggressively echoing in the room.

Bella and Eva widen their eyes at Jay as they shared a stunned look.

This was uncalled for many, and they wished to have a bucket of popcorn at the moment. Make that cheese popcorn.

Everyone’s eyes fall on Jay. He firms his posture after realising what he just blurted out. He so dearly wanted to dance with Bella, but not before fixing the reason of her fallen face.

It was hurting him to see Bella like that, so it ended up frustrating him how Jake was acting as if he never did anything wrong.

Jay wanted to remind Jake of that, and he didn’t care of the stares burning holes in him, when he directly walked towards Jake.

Mr. Milson enters the scene and admiringly lifts up a brow, “Calm down there! Feisty young man. What got you so pumped you in my class?” a little emphasis on my, the dance teacher wasn’t a fan of his students yelling and behaving as they please in his class.

Jay backs up and freezes when his eyes meet Mr. Milson’s. He refrains from talking back and just lowers his head. He was ready for whatever was coming. But the next scene just makes him sweep off his feet.

“Now that your lips are sealed, why don’t I ask Jake to explain it for you? Jake come stand right in front of him.”

Jake buffers by the sudden request and tries to defend himself, “But why should I…”

Mr. Milson doesn’t let Jake complete his sentence, rolling his eyes he says, “I don’t have all day. Stand here right this instance. Now!”

The sudden raise of voice sends shiver down Jake’s spine and he makes his way to Jay’s left side, in the middle of the class, and they both share a deep glare before turning their gaze back to Mr. Milson.

Expecting something like a scold for him but nothing comes.
Instead Mr. Milson crosses his hands and then scans the crowd, voicing “Now that all of you have your partner, let’s get this started!”

He flutters his fingers together in excitement and puts on a wide smile.

Eva holds Bella’s hand asking for permission, and Bella instantly obliges.

Everyone gets paired up and expect the teacher to start with the routine.

Jake and Jay on the other hand stood utterly confused, refusing to look at each other.

Mr. Milson goes in the front to turn on the music, a soft ballad encircles around the room and everyone get their toes ready for the routine.

“Let’s start with my favourite and lead couple today,” Mr. Milson grins and sways his hand to the music, his gaze lingering on Jake and Jay.

All the others look at each other confused and Mr. Milson dramatically clears his throat. The couple in the middle of the room turned their head around strangely waiting to know what it meant.

“Jake and Jay why don’t you two lead us.” Mr. Milson arches a brow in their direction.

A sudden wave of realisation hit the two and they yell their lungs out, backing away from each other, “I am not dancing with him…”

“This is not happening…” Jake and Jay both shake their heads, and a oh so familiar glare is passed.

“Ah couple fights, how adorable.” Mr. Milson coos at them, earning chuckles from the others.

He straightens his posture and states in a firm tone, “I am not asking you, this is an order!”

Jay and Jake scoot closer after the raise of voice.

“Start now! What the hell are you waiting for?” Mr. Milson roars and the two immediately face each other.

Jay bits his lip, frowning he grabs Jake’s waist harshly, while Jake presses a firm palm on Jay’s shoulder. They lock their eyes, both rolling them the instant they meet.

“Great! Now show us how it is done!” Mr. Milson bustles, trying to contain himself from the show he just made.

The others were on the verge of breaking into fits of laughter, but suppressed it in front of Mr. Milson.

The two just froze at their place, the other hand idly lying at their sides.

Mr. Milson pipes up, “If you don’t start, you’ll be going through a heck of detention. Together, whether you like it or not. I will be tying you two up, you better show me how it’s done.” His tone sweet yet threatening.

Afraid of breathing in the same air again for the detention, Jay wraps his fingers around the top of Jake’s hands and Jake bends his fingers firmly against Jay’s palm. Both tightening the grip, till it burns the other.

They move in rhythm with the music, and that’s when Jake realises something, “Why am I doing the girl’s part?”

Jay sneers at him and sassily replies, “Because you are shorter.” And Jake grits his teeth in anger, getting on his tippy toes to match Jay’s height.

But Jay towers him nonetheless.

The class rolls in aisles, including Bella and Eva. Mr. Milson manages to pass a soft chuckle and immediately covered it with his fingers.

Jay glances at Bella and sees her laughing, guess it was worth it after all.

[A/N]

I betchu didn't expect that Jakeay moment. Honestly it was needed after the little Jayhoon moment in chapter 26.

And that one is still my favorite. I mean giving flowers is superior to a dance, is it not? Which one did you like?

Okay I forgot Bella existed for a second, sorry not sorry for that >,<

Also, vote and comment if you liked, in next chapter a truth is going to get unveiled so you better buckle up.

Love ya<33

Bye!
