Austin's POV
Ten weeks later
I say "ok, ladies, we're gonna head out to the auditorium, you do whatever you need to do to get up there in ten minutes, ok?" They nod and Vince and I go go out to be with our boys and the teachers. I say "Leo, so good to see you, my dear" hugging him. He chuckles saying "hey, babe, how are you?" I say "I'm good, and yourself?" He says "I'm good" and Jacklyn says "you know this hunk?" I say "yeah, that's Leo, Eric's brother." He mumbles "I am doing well with her. I'm so close to taking her home with me tonight, so shut up."

I giggle saying "I will" and we watch Jacklyns boys go and I say "they're really good, Jacklyn." She says "they all made a heavy contribution to choreography. They have talent." Vince and I work to the front of the stage with Eric and Nick while they perform. Then our girls come out and we make sure to cheer really loudly. I see a group of guys at front stage that just have to be their boyfriends. Eric hugs me from behind and I watch them all go. When they finish, they all ruffle their boyfriends hairs and high five me and Vince as they walk by.

Vince and I go backstage cause Jacklyn wanted us to go on with our groups and talk about our teaching and choreographing process. We walk on with them and I say "do you want me to do the taking?" Vince says "knock yourself out" and I say "I'm Austin, that's Vince. We taught this class together and we both are going to college this coming year and we came to this intensive every year for the past five or six years. We approached it with an open mind, that's for sure. We wanted to have fun, we wanted everyone to learn a lot, and we knew that we'd have to work hard because we have a lot less experience than the rest of the teachers. We all learned from each other and they contributed to the choreography toward the end of it. Vince and I have choreographed together in the past, so we know how we work. We worked together after the intensive for a few hours almost everyday to get it how we wanted. Every now and again during class we'd change it to fit everyone's flow. So, yeah, that's kind of how we did it and I want to say it was awesome having y'all in class and I hope to see you next summer."

Vince says "he forgot to say he talks a lot." I say "be glad I like you" and we take our bows and we get off stage, so everyone can go see their families. I walk through the boyfriends of all my dancers and one of them says "damn, are you available?" I say "damn, check yourself. I know who you are." Eric walks through them saying "boys" and they all say "sir." He says "don't talk to my boyfriend when you all have girlfriends."

They all nod and I say "that was hot. I'm glad you're coming home with me tonight." Eric says "it's the new facial hair." Jacklyn is up on stage saying "ok, the winner of todays competition. The prize being a check for three thousand dollars that goes toward everyone in the groups tuition here along with apparel whether it's shoes, bags, just anything and everyone's favorite, bragging rights. I'd like to present this to, the teacher being a veteran of the company and winning this seven years in a row. Also being the youngest teacher I've ever had do this by ten years, Austin and Vince and The Crew!"

We all cheer and I tell Angela "go grab the check" and she goes to grab it. We all take a picture together with the check and I told Jacklyn previously that the check can go to the kids, they need it more than I do. I'd only be buying shoes for the next while for school, but other than that, I wouldn't make use of it." Eric comes over to me saying "congratulations" and I smile saying "thanks, I get bragging rights" and we chuckle.

He says "that's alright. I could make you a trophy if you were really that butt hurt about it." I giggle saying "that's funny. You should make me a trophy just because I deserve one" and he says "damn right you do" kissing me. I giggle and he checks his phone saying "wanna go to a party?" I say "mmm, as long as I can have my way with you after?" I run my fingers under his shirt and he says "of course you can. This party is mainly athletes, so it's really gonna be a mixed bag. One of the football players are throwing it."

I say "I can handle it, I have people to say bye to then we can leave" smiling then he holds my hand, me going around and saying bye to people. I spot Eric's Aunt Jen and I say "freeze" quietly and he stops in his tracks. I see her and Angela talking and they hug tightly and I think I see some tears. Eric hugs me from behind and I mumble "I think things are turning around, dear." He smiles and we go over to her.

Eric says "hey, Jen"smiling and they hug. She says "I am sorry for how I acted towards you and Austin because it just wasn't ok. Eric, he is perfect for you and everyone around you knows it. I'm sorry I said what I said to you. That really wasn't ok and I've done a lot of thinking. I'll leave you be and I hope you come to visit sometime." Eric hugs her saying "I can forgive and I'm happy that you see him the way I do" quietly. I say "I'm gonna go grab my stuff, Eric" and he says "I'll come with you." I smile and we go to the room and I grab my stuff. He says "let me take that for you, baby."
