"Hey. Remember the dance rehearsal starts after week and half", I texted to Mike, my dance partner.
-Yeah. I remember.
-Bye the way. I was at the doctor today because my knees dislocate every once in a while.
-and?
-I can't dance all the dances. At least not the once where I have to jump or do twists.
-so almost every dance then?
-yeah... I understand if you don't want to dance with anymore.
-you must be kidding. Of course I'm going to dance with you. I promised already.
-okay, good. You haven't seen my dress, right.
- No, I haven't.
-Well, would you like to see it?
-Yeah, sure. At your place in twenty minutes?
-Okay.
"Mum!", I yelled while I got out of bed
"What now honey?" She replied from the kitchen.
"Could you help me so I could get into my dress?"
"Okay, why?"
"Mike is coming over so he could see it."
Mom came to my room with the dress. After several minutes we got the dress finally on just in time because then Mike rang the doorbell. "I go open.", I said and ran down stairs. Which wasn't easy with the dress.
"Wow, you look amazing." Was the first thing Mike said when he saw me. "Thanks.",I replied and smiled.
My dress is really simple. It's peach colored, with thin diamondy webbing in the breast area. "Come in.", I said like I just had realized he was still standing outside. "You look good too.", I said and I wasn't lying. Mike is one of these guys who always look good. He's 180cm. tall which I think is really cute because I'm just 163cm. so we look kind of cute together. He is lanky and he has short blond hair. I don't like his style because he always wears too big sweaters and jeans but it doesn't matter.
"Oh hey Mike.", mum came to the hallway. She took her purse and car keys. "Where are you going?", I asked. "I'm going to meet your dad in the town and we are going to theater. Penny and Mary are out as well. No funny bisnes while we are gone.", She said. "Mum!? Leave". I was Embarrassed. "Okay, okay. I go.",she said smiling and left.
"Okay...", Mike mumbled, "at least now we have enough space."
"Enough space for what.", I wondered. "Dancing of course. We have to try can you dance in that.", Mike said and put on Spotify from his mobile. "No way!", I laughed and tried to leave upstairs but he took my hand. "Yes way.", he smiled and pulled me closer.
I stepped on his toes a lot and every time I did, I mumbled sorry and kept my eyes at our feets. We tried a spin but I hit him in the face by accident. "Okay that hurt.", he said and rubbed his face. "Sorry.", I mumbled again. He pulled me closer again.
The music had stopped so we were just standing there closely. We stared in each others eyes for seconds in a silence. Then we burst into a laugh.
