~dancer's dinner~
"i'm so tired,""second place clarke!" melanie yelled as she ran up to me soon as alex and i got off the stage. i hugged her and alex chuckled. "there's someone waiting for you in the green roon" he said and and melanie wiggled her brows.
it took me a second before i realised. "you're kidding" i said before turning around to see lando standing there with a yankees cap on his head. "p2?" he asked and i nodded as tears welled up in my eyes. i wrapped my arms around him and held on as if my life depended on it.
my parents weren't here today, nor were any of my siblings. maire had come to see me at rehearsal yesterday since her dorm isn't too far away but that's it. having melanie and lando here was a very big deal for me.
"does this mean we can go on dancing with the stars? that'll be funny, no?" he said, trying to make me laugh and succeeding. he wasn't a terrible dancer, i'd taught him a little bit of waltz but that's about it. "sure, i hope you don't mind, alex" i said and my dance partner laughed. "oh please" he said, resting his elbow on his cousins shoulder. "i'll be fine by myself, and felix will be more than happy to be my partner on stage too" he added and i smiled.
lando had his hands on my waist, dressed in a very different manner than usual. he wasn't a flannel guy and so i was guessing he'd taken it from oliver. "what's next?" he asked and i leaned into him. "just hug me. we can go out for dinner with the team later" i mumbled and i he hummed. "that's perfect. although, i was hoping we could maybe be alone for a little while. i wanna tell you something, top secret" he said in a whisper.
"top secret?" i ask confused and he nodded. i look around for my choreographer and guardian- "we're heading back to the hotel" she said before i could even ask her anything.
"you're coming, right?" i asked lando and he took a second before nodding. "yeah."
we all head out the back and to our van. "is he taking you out for dinner?" melanie whispered to me as i sat between him and melanie in the van. "no...i'm going with the team" i tell her.
i turn to look at lando who sat with his head against the window, picking at his nails.
we reached the hotel and melanie decided to go wait in her cousin's room so that lando and i could talk.
"so... what is this top secret deal you wanted to tell me about" i said jokingly as i slipped off my shoes and sat down to open my suitecase.
