the ballet love story

what now?

The dancers at San Francisco Ballet had almost every weekend off of work. So, since Brandon and Erika had their date on a Friday night they hadn't seen each other since they kissed. Erika hadn't called or texted Brandon at all. This worried Brandon. Did he ruin everything? No. He couldn't have. Right? She kissed him. Yes, he kissed her back. But, she kissed him first. He didn't know what to do. His mind had a million thoughts running though it while he was driving to work Monday morning. All he wanted was to see Erika but at the same time he was worried to. He eventually arrived to the San Francisco Ballet School and immediately saw Erika's car. Once he got inside he saw Erika breaking in some new pointe shoes. Yet again, he loved how focused she was. She noticed him after a few minutes and gave him a smile. She put her pointe shoes aside and walked ver to Brandon. "Hey." Erika said. Brandon nerves suddenly disappeared. "Hey. New pointe shoes?" "Oh. Yea, I killed the other pair." "Did I ruin everything Friday?" "What do you mean?" "The kiss. Did I move too fast for you?" Erika chuckled softly and grabbed Brandon's hand. "No. You didn't ruin anything Brandon." "Really?" "No! Friday was one of the best evenings of my life." "Ok. Good. I was worried for a second there. Wait. Then why wouldn't you call or text me or anything?" "Oh! I meant to call you! I actually got really busy, my parents needed help with something so I ended up staying at their place over the weekend. I did talk about you though." "Really? What did they think?" "They said that you sound perfect for me and they would love to meet you soon! The Nutcracker isn't too far away from now and I think that, that would be the perfect opportunity." "You're right! So, what now?" "I think this is the part where you ask me to be your girl friend." Brandon lets out a humorous scoff. "Erika. Will you be my girl friend?" "Yes. Yes, I will be your girl friend Brandon." The now couple repeats the action from Friday and share a loving kiss, not ashamed if anyone saw. They were too in love to care.

Rehearsals started but this time Helgi had changed the warm up. Some of the dancers performing in the Nutcracker weren't trusting their partners enough (Erika and Brandon were). Helgi had the dancers practice lifts, partner leaps, falling and catching, turns, and holds. Helgi had the duos start with turns. He already knew that Erika and Brandon were two of the best dancers he had so he had them go first. Brandon started turning Erika. She easily did 55 and then he stopped her and held her when she did an aerebesque out of them. They curtsyed and went to sit down and watch the other dancers. All of the other dancers do the turns with their partner and eventually rehearsals are over. All of the dancers leave and go home except for Brandon and Erika. It was actually a really nice night out in San Francisco so Brandon decided to take Erika out for a stroll. They walked hand in hand for about an hour and a half before stopping to look over the Bay. "I love you Erika." "I love you too Brandon." Like in a romance movie the couple kisses infront of all the twinkling lights of the big city.
