The Choice

"I can show you the world"

"Dionne, I cannot focus, babe."

"SHINING, SHIMMERING, SPLENDID."

I groan lacing my fingers through my hair, I get up and pack my books and laptop.

She giggles, "What!? You'll go to prince charming?"

I throw her a look, "You go get that prince charming, my guy is a sacred knight."

She sighs falling dramatically on the couch placing the back of her hand on her forehead. I laugh and she joins later.

She perks up and says enthusiastically, "let's go out! Or stay in, but do anything amusing."

I close my books, "what kind of amusing?"

She shrugs sitting up, "I don't know, get naked."

I laugh, "how's that amusing?"

She snorts, "I don't know! Let us do something, really! I'm in the mood of dangerous stuff, I feel like I want to go ring the bell to Mughrabi's place and run."

I laugh, "do it!"

"I'll get fired, I'm not you, sweetie."

"let's go shopping or something." I say and she perks up, "we go shopping then have a girls night."

I nod and we both head to our rooms getting ready.

"It tastes like guava, ew." Dionne crunches the candy and I put one in my mouth as we sit on the ground in our living room with candy and chocolates around us.

"Mine tastes like coffee."

She scoffs biting onto a chocolate bar.

"Tell me something you are talented at." She quips flipping her hair behind her shoulder.

I look around thinking, "I can dance."

She makes a face, "I know that, what was Mughrabi doing the past year."

I shake my head, "no, not that type of dance. I can dance another type."

She frowns questioningly and I smile standing up and heading for my room. I put on a belly dance bedlah which consists of a white bra with lace and small pearls and a full length swishing skirt. I hear a thud from outside," Di, are you okay? " I call out, "yes!" I let down my hair and go outside.

"Alexa, play 'Dum tek tek by hadise'." I say smiling and the song starts playing. I close my eyes swaying towards the living room and start belly dancing in the middle of our apartment.

I feel Dionne come behind me, but pay her no attention as she sits on the counter watching, "DAAAAAMN, RO!"

I smile swishing my hair shaking my hips and shoulders then sway my waist around. I always feel free whenever I dance, I always did that when I was at home alone in my room till I perfected my movements. I smile feeling the music and drums through my body moving it.

I gather my hair and perform the last part of the song; the eastern tabla part before the song ends then finish in a seductive pose with my back to her.

" A body to be worshiped."

I widen my eyes at the voice and whirl around to find Dionne on the counter smirking with grapes in her lap and Omer next to the counter.

I feel my face and whole body heat under his gaze. He saw all of that. I danced with Omer before and gone completely naked in front of him, but me and him know exactly how this kind of dance is intimate because our home country is specialized with it. People from around the world love to learn belly dancing that belongs to this ethnicity. The attire and way of moving the body seductively also, when a woman blesses a man with a show like that, it always is something intimate between them.
