Andrew's POV

Christina went back to work. I closed the door, going back to the guys. When I stepped inside the room it got oddly silent. They were all looking at me with this weird expression. I scrunched my face up finding them all acting weird.

"What the fuck is y'all looking at?"

"Yo ugly ass," Ralphy commented.

"Y'all was sneak dissin or what?" I said going to take a seat.

"We're just proud of you that's all."

I rolled my eyes, "y'all some cornballs I swear." I smiled even though I was acting like it was no big deal. It was cool to hear that especially from people who know me.

"Deadass. You've grown a lot since college. We all have. We just can't believe you're hard headed ass did."

"See fuck off" I laughed.

"Yea we were also saying that if you're coach don't put you in soon, Ralphy might really get this ring." Tone added

I sighed, "regardless if I play or not my team can still whoop the clippers, easy."

"Except for yesterday." B Mack commented

"Yea or tomorrow. I put down like 5 for the clippers" Tone joked

"Fuck all of y'all." I laughed again. "I can't lie the clippers been doing they thang this year. But Ima bet on my team every time."

"Aye, what was up with ole boy yesterday? Seem like he was trying to show out or something." X said curious. He had been meaning to bring it up thinking it was weird.

I kissed my teeth. "That's homeboy Christina was dating for a bit before we got back together. I ain't even worried about him, he a sucka for real."

"I hella checked him after the game." Ralphy said. "I told him what he was doing wasn't cool and that if he kept it up it was fade after the series. Straight up." He added.

"Good lookin" I said dabbing him up.

"Yup"

"I actually been meaning to tell you something."Ralphy stated out of no where. Everyone else seemed to already know what he was talking about except for me. Ralphy looked oddly suspicious.

"What?" I asked.

Four days later

Christina's POV

I unlocked my studio door walking inside. Today I had planned something special for my expert class. I went to my office sitting down to handle business.

Looking at the time I had about 30 minutes before some of my clients would arrive. I had made sure everything was ready before them getting there.

I went to my bathroom changing into my dance outfit before going to the lobby area. I was hanging around as my clients began to show up. "Hey T" I waved seeing T and then Nae right behind her. "Hey ladies. You two look fabulous." I told them as I looked over there outfits.

"Us?" Nae questioned. "You look the fuck good. Who coming in today?" She asked suggestively "you're husband coming in today?"

"Yes y'all and you'll find out. See you inside ladies"

The last girl went into the studio and I waited a few minutes knowing he would be here any second. Like clock work he rolled in with a baseball cap, glasses, and a cup of coffee in hand.

"Hey, I'm so glad you could make it. Thank you for coming." I told him greeting him with a hug.

"Anything for you." He winked.

Brushing that off, I began to give him a little run down before we headed inside. We stood in the lobby for five minutes before I walked inside the studio where I saw the girls stretching and getting ready for our class.

"Good Afternoon ladies, I hope you guys have been practicing that dance we worked on last week. I told you guys I would have a special guest in today so I hope you're ready." I smiled looking around. "Introducing the R&B legend himself, Trey Songz," I announced. He strode in flipping his cap. The looks on the ladies faces was priceless.

"Hi nice to meet you I'm T" T said wasting no time to introduce her self.

The first 10 minutes the girls introduced themselves and asked him questions. After I noticed it die down I got everyone's attention again.

"Class is going to be a little different today. I'm going to start by putting you guys in two groups after that you will both perform the dance. I want you guys to leave with nothing left. Trey is looking for a few background dancers for his upcoming tour. Who knows it might just be you. So good luck and most importantly have fun."

Trey and I sat in my office discussing my class earlier. I was so proud of all my girls because they really showed out. I couldn't have ask for them to do any better. Trey sat in the chair raving about one in particular, "I can't lie. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She can really move. She kind of reminds me of you."

"Danny is an exceptional dancers. I kind of feel like I've taken her under my wing. She's only 18 but she's holds her self like she's experienced. I can call her in for meeting if you'd like?"

"Yea, set that up. That one girl too. T? She was fire too."

"Ok ok. I'll fit you in to my schedule and set those up."

"You're too kind." He answered sarcastically. "Alright we'll I got a meeting to get to but I'll talk to you soon."

"Yes, you will." I told him as I escorted him out.

When he walked out the front door I turned around to see Danny waiting around. I went up to her seeing she was in her own world. "Hey" I said gently. "Did you want to discuss something?" I asked. I had told the class we would talk about today's events tomorrow. I had schedule a meeting with them plus I was going to celebrate their hard work with lunch.

"I was just wondering how I did and if there's any ways I can improve. I've been coming here for.. well since you opened and was wondering if I could get some one on one sessions?"

"First, you did amazing today. Everyone did. It really showed me how hard each of you worked but especially you. I've seen how much you've grown these last few months being with the experienced dancers and honestly I couldn't have asked for more. Every time you're here you leave it all on that floor." I pointed towards the studio. "We can set up the one on one sessions and I can give you a few pointers, teach you a few tricks." She smiled.

"Wow thank you so much that means so much to me coming from you. And I would love that."

"Of course. We can talk more about it tomorrow"

"Ok see you tomorrow" she said as she gathered her stuff.

"And for the record. Trey thought you were a phenomenal dancers as do I." She smiled brighter at me before she walked out the door.

I smiled back waving. My hand froze mid way as Lance walked through the door holding flowers.

"What are you doing?" The words flew out like word vomit.

"I came to see how you were doing. These are for you." He extended the flowers towards me.

"I-" the door opened behind him my focus leaving the flowers to a confused looking Trey standing right behind him. I sighed in relief it wasn't Andy coming in for our prescheduled lunch date. My relief was short lived when Andy came in after Trey.

Shit, I thought before I was surrounded by darkness.
