Caitlyn's P.O.V

"I can't get that stupid Leap!"
"Stop! Stop! Your getting too frustrated it's not gonna turn out good if you keep yelling at your self like that Ri" it seemed as if the nickname calmed him down as I noticed his tense shoulders droop down and relax.
"Your right..I'll try again." He did the perfect side leap, it was better than anything I could've ever done.
"There you go!! See! Patience is key"
"Yes it is..hehe" he took a drink from his water and sat down.
"I'm tired, out of breath...can we take a break?"
"Sure, I could use a break" I said sitting down next to him.
"You've truly grown as a dancer Caitlyn, your skills have really shown improvemt."
"Thank you Ms. Dana" I playfully shove him jokingly.
"I'm serious! I've never met a girl that could dance the way you can..." He stared at me with his Deep blue eyes, everything around us getting suddenly warmer than it was in the studio.
"N-not even your sister?"
"No, Kate's been dancing since she was 6 yet I still can't tell the difference. But with you....your just so beautiful when your dancing, it looks so gentle, and graceful and-" he stops clearing his throat.
"Sorry, I kinda went off track" he blushes.
"Let's try the one more time, we need to get this perfected soon, I-it's in two days" he helps me up as we begin to dance. As we are rehearsing his hair flattens in his face and he starts sweating like crazy.
"I'm sorry I'm just- can I t-take this off it's really freaking hot in here" Lord no.
"Y-your shirt?"
"You don't mind do you?"
"N-no, go ahead" I look away as I hear his shirt get thrown across the room. He stands next to me as I refuse to look at him as we begin to dance, finally forcing me to face him...and wow. His body was nothing compared to Harry's but it was still a sight I couldn't seem to release my grasp from.
"Staring much?"
"Whatever" I mutter.
"It's okay, I know hot" he jokes. Suddenly the song ends.
"That was really good, it's a very romantic dance how do you resist Caitlyn"
"I have my Harry"
"Right..Harold" suddenly his smile turned into a frown as he stared at the ground, walking toward me. I noticed a tattoo in the far off corner of his shoulder.
"What's that?"
"Oh um, it was a mistake.."
"Was this mistake recent" he chucked.
"Actually it was two years ago..I was stupid and decided to get a tattoo"
"Sorry if I'm being body I just, I didn't take you the get a tattoo type"
"Yeah um, I was w-with this girl. Her name was Annie.." That was what the tattoo said.
"I t-thought we were in love, I thought she was but....people can be cruel." He got extremely red and teary.
"I even being the idiot I am, proposed to her at the age of 19! She said no..and some other stuff I rather not mention."
"I'm Sorry Rider, she sounds terrible"
"Yeah..but she taught me something in life- if you fall in love, get ready because sometimes that person isn't ready to catch you" he smiled.
"I'm over it, I'm over her- the tattoo was just dumb..I was dumb"
"Hey! No your not! Your one of the smartest, most talented guys I know. Plus, I gotta admit your pretty hot" he laughed.
"And any Girl would be
Lucky to have you" we were now standing face to face, eye to eye as his gaze captured mine, not letting it escape as I felt our lips pull closer and closer as if our bodies attracted as magnets, his hands slowly coming toward my back as his eyes fluttered closed, his lips brushing past mine until they fully connected. Suddenly I took realizing on what I was doing as quickly pulled away.
"OH MY GOD! RIDER!" His face was in pure shock..but I could see a smile fighting to appear in his face.
"I'm.... So sorry Caitlyn I really shouldn't of done that.."
"No kidding! I have a boyfriend that I care about very much and that's probably going to kill me now!"
"Caitlyn I'm so so so so sorry! Really I don't know what I was thinking..I wasn't thinking."
"Well...what do we do now"
"As shitty as this sounds, if you and I are going to even make it as friends we can't tell anyone" this technically means lying to Harry but it would spare him the hurt feeling right?
"Yeah! I mean friends kiss all the time?"
"Totally! I mean it wasn't even two seconds I wouldn't consider it a kiss!"
"Right! Nothing's changed- nothing happened!"
"Absolutely!" This was killing me inside, how am I to face Harry! I can't jut not tell him, but if I do I'll ruin everything...
"I'm so sorry C"
"It okay Ri, it was in the heat of the moment.."
"I think we should stop for today"
"Yeah- next comes performance!"
"Right, well them I guess I'll see you then?"
"Yeah.."
"Again, I'm really sorry that was totally fucked up from my part"
"I know but..Rider you seriously fucked up. How am I supposed to face Harry!"
"I'm sorry" he said as he walked out. I could hear Harry outside talking to Someone as he waited. Rider kissed me...Rider kissed me. I mean I didn't kiss him back! He kissed me, and he knew he messed up so I guess it makes this all okay right? I have nothing to feel guilty about! It was just a kiss, it meant nothing to either of us..with all my courage I walked out to meet Harry.
"Caitlyn!" He ran up to me engulfing me in a huge hug. Guilt. Eating. Soul.
"H-Hi Hazza"
"What's wrong Love?"
"Nothing! Everything is perfect! Were totally ready for Monday..so what did I Kiss? MISS! WHAT DID I MISS HEHE"
"Your so weird, I think you just need a nap..I'll carry you to the dorm!" He picked me up  bridal style placing soft kisses in my face as we walked back to the dorms. I felt terrible about all this but keeping it a secret worth it, for Harry. I shouldn't feel guilty. As I lay in Harry's arm I find the need to escape I to slumber urgent for this guilty guilty body...Boy did we mess up
