Feel Again (A OneRepublic/ Ryan Tedder Fanfic)

Chapter 15

"I'm sorry." I said squeezing his hand.

"Why are you apologizing?" He said cocking up an eyebrow.

"Because I asked you." I manage to squeak out.

"We're here." Said Ryan pulling up in front of the dance studio.

We get out of the car and I get my duffle bag and walk inside.

"Hello Mr. Tedder." Said Aiden

"Hello Mr. Thomas." Said Ryan.

"Hi Aiden!!!" I shout from behind Ryan.

"Kim? You know him?" Said Aiden stunned.

"Yeah, she's my girlfriend." Said Ryan cutting me off before I said anything causing me to blush.

"Interesting." Answered Aiden

Both Ryan and I walk passed him. I turn back and both Aiden and give each other a thumbs up.

We get into the big auditorium. The auditorium is enormous. Hard wood floors, black curtains and there's a grand piano in the corner.

"There's a piano over there of you want to play?" I said sweetly.

"No. I want you to teach me how to dance." Said Ryan as he walked close to me.

He takes off his hoodie and throws it at the piano. He's dressed in a white tank top, black sweat pants and Chuck Taylor's as well.

I make my way to the steps of the auditorium and put on my jazz shoes and I feel Ryan's hand on my shoulder. "Can I dance in my sneakers?" He asked politely.

That's a first. "Of course, but I'd prefer dancing with your socks rolled up half-way." I said getting up.

"Oh? Why is that Miss Alvarez?" Asked Ryan cocking up his eyebrow.

I walk towards him. "Well for starters, you get a better grip on the floor, and I don't want you to mess up your shoes." I said to him sweetly.

"Fair enough." He said and he goes and takes off his shoes.

"So you're going to be my dance teacher?" Said Ryan playfully.

"If that's what you'd like?" I said sweetly and he nods deviously.

"Alright then, Mr. Tedder. Before we begin dancing, we have to do some warm up exercises." I said to him in a clipped tone. When it comes to dancing, I take it very seriously.

"Yes ma'am." Said Ryan laughing at me.

I put my phone on the iHome dock, and press play with my little remote. Sure enough "If I Lose Myself" starts playing and Ryan cocks an eyebrow at me and I blush. I try to change the song but the batteries decide not to work.

"Damn it!" I mutter to myself banging the remote with my hand. He starts laughing.

He pulls me towards him and said, "I think we should warm up now. Don't you think?"

I pull away. "Yes, we'll start with stretching and do everything I do." I said turning on my heel walking in front of the mirror and start stretching.
