Get in the Rhythm {Book 1}

2.

I turned around and saw an amazing site. Even better than the view outside. There was a man.

Wait let me rephrase.

There was a god standing in front of me. His eyes were an amazing pale green. His skin was so fair yet tan. His dark hair flowed down his face. His beard complimented his strong jawline. And his body. My goodness, his body. The clothes he was wearing were so tight so his chest shown through the shirt revealing his defined chest. I was breath taken.

"A-Are you Señor Kaplan?" I asked nervously.

"I am him" His voice was deep. He had a slight Spanish accent. "But you can call me" He took my hand and kissed it. "Avriel" I went as red as a tomato. "And what should I call you, precioso" He was extremely charming.

"M-Mitch" I stuttered.

"Mitch" My name sounded amazing coming out of his mouth. "Now tell me, Mitch, are you ready to learn the art of salsa" I was ready to do anything with him

"Yes" I said way to quickly. "I mean sure" He laughed and walked over to his phone, which was attached to a set of large speakers. Music filled with guitars and drums filled the surrounding atmosphere. I had never heard such music before but I loved it anyway.

"Let's start slow" He spoke as walked to stand next to me. "1-2-3 and 1-2-3" He did the standard basic salsa steps and I followed, basically nailing the dance move "You're doing great" He smiled at me. "And now your add hips" He added his hips and I was blown away. He had so much control over them and it was completely mesmerising. I added as much hip as I could, which wasn't much.  "You're doing well but.....loosen up a bit"

He came behind me and grabbed my hips and rocked them side to side. I began to heat up. His hands were so strong and had quite a grip on my waist. "Now try. 1-2-3 and 1-2-3.......see you've got it" He guided my hips through the steps. I felt so proud of myself. "Now try on your own" He let go of me and I missed his hold on my waist but I didn't want to seem needy so I continued.

"Alright, now try and move your arms to the rhythm" His arms flowed side to side and I copied and it didn't look half bad. "Now that I see you've got it, let's speed it up now" His body began to move a lot more in time with the music and his hips were very distracting. I attempted to go as fast as him, and it turned out pretty okay.

I guess I hadn't looked at the time bug I got here at 3:00pm and it was now 7:00pm. My first lesson was over. "You're one of the first people that have learnt the basic steps that quick." He said with with a smile.

"What can I say? I learn things quickly" I said with a shrug.

"This means that we can move on to partnered routine next lesson" He said with excitement. "I'll see you tomorrow, Mitch" He said hugging me. He hugged me below the waist in a tight embrace. He let go and walked into a room.

I left the building feeling extremely better than I had felt when I first entered. Maybe this salsa thing was a good idea.
