Youwake up with arms folded around you. You felt safe and protected. Yousmile and slowly open your eyes. You knew it wasn't Ryan holding you,you knew it was Darren. And somehow, you prefered. You know youshouldn't feel like that because you had a boyfriend, and Darrencould never like you the way you liked him, but gosh, that felt good."Goodmorning"you hear in your ear in a whisper. You smile fondly and turn aroundin his arms. Fuck, his face is so close. "Goodmorning"you say softly. He kissed your forehead slowly as you close youreyes. How does he manage to make you feel like a teenage girleverytime he's around? The tickle in your stomach, the twinkle inyour eyes, the weird feeling you had every time he was there. Youknew it was bad, but you couldn't help it. "Didyou sleep well?"he asks with a smile, placing his hand on your waist. "Ya,and you?"you smile back. "Likea fucking baby"he says. You giggle and look into his eyes. It was even more gorgeousin the morning. He looks back at you too, he seemed hypnotized byyour eyes. But you were probably making that up. He smiles fondly atyou as he puts one of your locks of hair behind your ear. You smileback and glance at his lips. They look delicious. You remember thekiss you shared with him that night at the party. You remember thetaste of his lips. And gosh, you really want to taste them again.When you glance back at his eyes, you find out he was also looking atyour lips. Your heart started to beat faster as your lips parted.Maybe you shouldn't be with Ryan. Maybe you should fight more. Fightfor Darren. You were about to lean on him as you heard the door beingopen. "Heycan I borrow your-"Lauren said, looking down. When she looks up, she looks at you andDarren with wide eyes "...purse?".You and Darren parted. How embarassing. Now she will think you twohad sex or something, and that you are some kind of whore. How great.Darren sat on the bed, looking down and You and Darren parted. Howembarassing. Now she will think you two had sex or something, andthat you are some kind of whore. How great. Darren sat on the bed,looking down and biting his lip as you put your hands over your faceto hide your blush. Lauren didn't stop looking at you and she yellsinto the house "Joey!Get your ass over here".He runs to come into your room, alarmed. "What'sgoing on?"he asks. "That'swhat I was asking myself too"she chuckles as she points at you. You stand up and sigh as Joeysmiles widely. "Man!Finally! Did you tell her you-"he got cut by Darren. He was looking at Joey nervously with wideeyes. You frown, why would he be nervous? "Yeah,I apologized!"Darren said. "Andto show you were really sorry, you slept with her?"Lauren chuckles jokingly. "Whoslept with who?"you heard Meredith screaming excited as her voice were gettingcloser. You saw her walking between Lauren and Joey. "Noway! You guys?"Meredith said. "Soyou finally say it Dare? I'm proud of you, curly boy! You finallysaid you-""Weresorry. I finally said I was sorry. Yes. Can we stop this conversationnow? Y/N and I did not sleep together. I mean yes, we did, but no wedidn't"he rambled nervously. "Wedid not had sex guys. I would never cheat on my boyfriend"you exclaim. Lauren looked at you and frowned. "What?" youmouth to her as the others looked away. She did a sigh like 'I willtalk to you later' as everyone left. ~ You got prepared and went tothe University as usual. As you were with the girls in the hall, youheard your phone buzzing. You took your phone out and answered."Hello?""Missy/f/n?"a woman asked. "Uhm,yes"you answered, confused. Julia looked at you with a 'What's going on'face and you just shrugged. "YesI'm calling you because you got an interview with our boss to be ournew fitness coach, right?"she asked. "Yes"you add, excited. This couldn't be true. "Congratulations,you got the job"the woman said. You grin widely and start to jump everywheresilently. "Thankyou, thank you so much"you say. "Youwill start on Monday. Welcome in Mikado Fitness!""Thankyou, thank you so much. Bye".All the girls were looking at you with a 'What the fuck' face. "IGOT THE JOB AS THE FITNESS COACH"you yell, super happy and excited. It was your first kind of dancerelated job since you graduated from dance school. You were soexcited. The girls congratulated you and jump with you as the boyswalk to you. Joe and Darren went to you and started to jump and yelllike you did, obviously mocking you. You laugh as they ask "Doyou finally understand that unicorns really exist?"Darren asks. "Ormaybe you realize that Voldemort is a better dancer than you. I'mbetter, biatch"Joe said jokingly. You hit him playfully on the shoulder. "Dumbass!I got the job at the Mikado Fitness Club!"you scream. "Ohmy god, that's awesome!"Darren said as he hugged you. Everyone hugged you and you couldn't bemore thankful to have friends like them. It's not like you knew themfor years, but they are the closest and most awesome people you'veever met. You pulled away with teary eyes because you were reallymoved. You felt your phone buzzing again in your hands and you lookedat it, all smiling. But when you saw who were calling, your smiledisappeared. Your mother. Again. Why does she always have to screwthings up? She has been calling for days now, even weeks. When is shegoing to give up? It's not like she was worried or something. Youknew she wasn't. After all she had done and said to you, she made itreally clear for you that she couldn't get worried for you. And nowthat you were trying to be happy, that you finally, somehow, succeedat forgetting all of that, she kept calling you. All the freakingtime. No. No, you are not going to feel bad again. You made a promiseto yourself, remember? None of this will affect you anymore. You'reexactly where you're supposed to be, you thought. You study what youwant and what makes you happy, you have amazing friends and anamazing boyfriend. You put your phone back in your bag and put a fakesmile on your face. Nothing will disturb your happiness. Mondaywas now there and you were super nervous. Sure, you had dance jobswhile you were in dance school, but you never direct a class, even ofamators. You left very early to the university this morning, alone,and you didn't see any of your friends today because you were not inthe same courses. When you were about to leave to go early to theclub, you met your friends outside. You immediatly smile as you sawtheir faces and heard their laughs. "Heyguys"you say. "Lookat you. Girl, I could turn into a lesbian for you right now"Lauren exclaims. You look down at yourself. You were wearing fitnessclothes to your class, you had a legging and a larger shirt. Youdidn't really like it because it was really tight and it made youfeel unconfortable but you had to. "Seriously,you look awesome! Look at that ass!"Jaime chuckles. You look down, embarassed and blushing. "Guys?What do you think?"Lauren asked. "Lopez,stop that"you whispered to her. "Yourass look super great, sis"Joey said. "Yeah!Definitely! What do you think Darren?"Dylan said as he put his arm over Darren's shoulder, smirking."I...it'suhm...I mean you..."he rambled looking at you. You blushed harder and looked down with abig smile on your face. At least he had no words, maybe that was agood thing. You felt two arms hugging you from behind and someonewhispering in your ear "Youlook super sexy".You look up and smile widely, before turning around to greet yourboyfriend with a kiss. "Thankyou, you're not so bad either"you whisper. Ryan smirked and kissed you again. You heard someoneclapping their hands behind you and Darren saying "Well,guys. I have to go. Assignments, and you know, shit like that. Seeya".He seemed disturbed, maybe sad, but again, you probably made that up.He left and one by one, all your friends left, and after spending alittle time with Ryan, you left to the fitness club. You went to theoffice to sign and take everything you needed and went to your class.Nobody was there yet. You put some music and rubbed your handsnervously. 'You can do this' you keep repeat in your mind. Suddenly,a person came in and greets you. And slowly, more and more peopleentered and took their places in the room. You put a big polite smileon your face. "Welcome"you said everytime someone entered. You were about to start the classwhen you saw a bunch of people entering the room. 'Oh, no' youthought. It was them, for sure. Your friends. They were all there,wearing flashy clothes and colorful wigs. You did your best not tolaugh at them. They were really serious. They were dressed like thoseguys in a bad music video from the 80s. Oh boy. "Uhm,ok"you breath, biting your lip not to laugh. "Welcomeinto the fitness class! My name is y/n and I will be your coach! Ihope you will have a great time here"you say with a smile. "Woohoo"Joey screamed from behind. You chuckle and try to stay serious. Theywould not make this easy. You put the music louder and started toshow some moves and coach the people. It was very entertainning tosee them having a great time, even if it was a workout. When youstarted to do lunges, you look around and see that some people werehaving troubles with that. "Keep going, guys! You can do it"you say through the room. You went to help a few people who werehaving trouble, and you walked to Darren. "AmI doing this right, teacher?"he asks with a low voice. You giggled and say "Notreally actually. Put your shoulder more in the back"you say as you put your hands on his shoulder to guide him. "Andclench your butt"you say as you put your hand on his lower back. "Donot find an excuse to touch my butt, darling"Darren says in a flirty way. You smirk and slap his ass discretly. "Ican touch it whenever I want"you whisper in his ear before going away. He kept looking at you in avery flirty way with smirks during the whole class.
You knew you shouldn't feel like that, but you liked it. A lot. Why does it have to feel so right and so wrong at the same time? Why did you not feel that with Ryan? He was the one who where supposed to make you feel like that. And maybe he does at some point, but Darren...with him, it's not the same. Darren must be special...
