Dancing with the Beast

15. Feel free to reach out to me

„Just down the hallway. Put the stuff in the dance hall there.", we heard Tareqs' voice from the entrance. We moved away from each other quickly, not wanting to be seen in a situation like this. "Oh hi Jimmy, you already made it here! How is your mom doing?", Chris asked while entering the hall and dropping off some equipment he was carrying. "She fell down the stairs last night, thankfully my brother was there for a visit. She has a mild concussion and some bruises but nothing more serious gladly.", Jimmy responded as the other boys  entered the room with the rest of our equipment. "I'm glad she is okay.", I answered honestly.

As soon as all of the filming equipment was set up, we started the recording. It was a really funny shooting day and we nearly got everything done. We decided to end the filming for today cause the lightning in the studio got worse due to the upcoming evening. We will come back to the studio at the next day for the final shoots. We left the building with our filming equipment and locked the doors behind us. I wondered where Jimmy rented an empty dance school. Splitting on the cars we wanted to drop everyone off at their homes because we would start filming really early. While planing the car rides I found myself next to Jimmy at the parking lot. "Hey, do you mind if I do a tutorial for the choreo after the release?", I asked him. "Of course not. Do it, you can film it tomorrow in this dance hall. We will finish the filming way to early.", Jimmy responded with a smile. I thanked him for this opportunity. This would be perfect. I headed over to Karl. "Hey, you did so well today. I wanna film the tutorial in here after we finish filming tomorrow and I would appreciate you to be part of the video as a support.", I asked Karl. I could already imagine a great and funny video with him in it. "Wow really? Of course!", he responded in excitement. We planned to stay in the dance school after tomorrows filming finished to film the tutorial for my channel.

I once again drove with Chris in his car. Jimmy wanted to check if his mom is still alright and I could really understood this. I am a little sad that we couldn't talk about last night and were also interrupted at the intimate situation in the dance hall. I am pretty sure this would have ended in a kiss if no one had come in. The tension between me and Jimmy had increased intensively since the last evening. I like Jimmy as a friend but I cannot deny that I am at least sexually attracted to him. But I am still not sure if he feels the same about me. "Everything alright? You seem to be a lot in your head today.", Chris snapped me back to reality after we had dropped off Chandler and Karl at their homes. "Yeah, it just wasn't my day.", I responded. "Okay, but if you need someone to talk to, feel free to reach out to me.", Chris said. "Of course, thank you.", I smiled and thanked him for his offer. Chris is a really nice and genuine person. I am glad that we get along well and that he offers me to listen to my problems. But he is still a close friend of Jimmy so I don't want to talk about my Jimmy related problems with him. We said goodbye to each other as he dropped me off at my hotel.

I decided to head to the hotel restaurant first to grab some food and went up to my room afterwards. I got myself ready for bed and laid down to get some rest. I grabbed my phone and started watching some Mr.Beast videos. Jimmy's voice had a calming effect on me so I drifted into dreamland fast.

I woke up from my alarm clock the next morning, getting ready quickly. I put on dance clothes because Karl and I would film the tutorial for the choreo and I also put my filming equipment in my bag. Jimmy would pick me up but I also know that we wouldn't be alone because we would head to the dance location directly. I headed down to the parking lot and entered Jimmy's car. I greeted Jimmy, Ethan and Tareq who were already in the car when I sat down at the free backseat. Back at the dance school I fell in love with this place again, wishing nothing else more than having my own dancing school one day. This has always been my childhood dream and still is my biggest goal. One day, I will call a place like this mine.

We continued the last filming parts and still had a lot of time. Karl and I helped the crew packing all the stuff and said goodbye. Jimmy left the dance school with a smile and a thumbs up into my direction. I waved goodbye and turned myself to Karl. "You're ready for your first dance tutorial?", I smiled. "No, but I'm still hyped.", he responded laughing. I arranged my filming equipment and we started the recording. It turned out to be a really funny video because the synergy between me and Karl nearly was perfect. We managed to laugh a lot but still got a really good result for my video. 

After finishing the filming we both decided to head back home and get ready. In the evening there will be a big after filming party in the warehouse. Back at the hotel I stored my equipment, took a shower and got ready for the party.
