Chapter 9 - The Duet

I couldn't stop smiling as I saw Myles. The music started up and he began to dance, completely oblivious to my presence.

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

He was such a powerful dancer,

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

But at the same time, it was beautiful.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

He told the story so well.

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

The emotion, the movement it was so outstanding.

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

I wish I could dance like that.

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all alone

... ah, me... ah, me... ah...

As the music stopped, I slowly walked up to Myles while saying, "Oh my gosh Myles! That was sickk!"

"Thanks Bri."

I blushed as he called me his special nickname for me. Honestly I kinda liked it, no one had ever given me a nickname before. When Myles spoke, it sent shivers down my back. I know it's clique but I can't help it. I can't help being happy around him. At the moment we are great friends but secretly I want to be in a great relationship with him. But at the same time, I can't allow myself to. Isn't dance more important than boys? I can't waste all my hard work on a silly relationship, can I? Maybe it wouldn't hurt to date, I mean Myles is a dancer so it would be like a dance relationship. Wait I'm overthinking this, we aren't dating yet. But I wish we were...

"Bri, umm..Briar."

"Huhh.."

"Awe you looked so beautiful. You were day dreaming or something I think"

I looked towards my feet and touch my nose..

"Bri, you don't need to be embarrassed."

"What?" I stuttered, "I'm not embarrassed."

"You always touch your nose with your right hand when you get embarrassed."

"Do I..?"

"Yeh. But don't worry it's cute."

"Shall we dance then?"

"Of course, we could improv a duet maybe?"

"That sounds like fun, let's do it."

We spend the next few hours laughing and enjoying each other's company while dance and learning from each other.

Later on, my mum texted me to say she was held up at work and couldn't pick me and was very sorry. I was stuck. I didn't know the bus routes so I couldn't get home. I was stressing out. Was I going to be stuck at the studio?

"Briar, it's getting late, I'm going home if that's okay?"

"Yes, of course, sure." I said quickly, "I had fun today."

"As did I. Listen can I give you a lift home?"

I had forgotten that Myles have his licence.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Of course Bri, it's no problem"

"Okay, thanks so much!"

"Don't even worry bout it." (A/N reference for all ya Jiley lovers 😉)

We locked up and headed out to Myles car. I was excited to get a lift home with him.
