Don't Give Up On Us (Valdaya)

Boyfriend?

It'd been around 3 hours since I last spoke to Val but I was thankful for the distraction of the DWTS after party. It was in full swing and I was actually enjoying myself regardless of all the night's events. This was just what I needed. I had either Bella, Roshon or Trevor by my side most of the time. The rest of the time I was on the dance floor dancing with the other contestants and pros, carefully trying not to steal too many glances at Val. It was hard–really hard!

After an hour straight of dancing I decided to sit down; I felt so tired after the day's excursions. After moments of sitting quietly by myself I allowed myself to slowly start drifting off but was awakened by the presence that had sat himself next to me. Sleepily I realised it was Trevor, he smiled and pulled me so that my head rested on his shoulder. We sat in comfortable silence for a bit watching the pro dancers challenge the contestants. Ally was having a dance off with Mark. You go girl!

''How are you feeling now then?'' What did he mean?... Ohh the Mirror Ball! ''I mean you were pretty upset earlier, are you alright now Z?'' He asked with genuine concern.

''Yeah I'm alright now Trev. It's cool, I'm happy now, you know. I've had a good season, I've met the most amazing people and my friends and family have been with me throughout this journey. I couldn't be happier,'' I said with a genuine smile. I was happy, but not just for those reasons.

Trevor put his arm around my shoulder pulled me closer, ''Good, I don't like seeing you upset Z,'' he said and kissed me on the head. Trevor had kissed me on the head before in the past but this time I felt a tiny bit awkward about it... it might have been because someone I knew all-to-well normally kissed me on the head too.

I made an attempt to lighten the mood and get out of this awkward situation. ''I'm fine really,'' I laughed. ''Come on Trev, let's go dance... this is a party.'' Trevor smiled, got up and led the way to the dance floor. We joined in with the dance off and immediately I was brought forward by Trevor into the middle of everyone and we had a mini dance off to Chris Brown's song 'Fine China'. Trevor went first, doing his best Chris Brown moves. Not gonna to lie, I was impressed– he had skills. It came to my turn and I chose to do a section from mine and Val's hip hop routine, and 5 seconds into it, Val was suddenly beside me performing our routine. I smiled and completely let go; knowing Val was by my side gave me sudden boost in confidence and I threw in some free styling here and there.

Soon more people started crowding round as Trevor took to the floor again, this time Bella joined in with him so it sort of turned into a team battle. Bella and Trevor in seconds were free styling in sync. It was almost as if they had rehearsed hours before! It was mine and Val's turn, I knew he couldn't free style with a hip hop song and so I knowingly gave him a wink and started doing 'the white boy boogie'. Val laughed wholeheartedly, I'd never seen him laugh so much! I couldn't help but laugh too.

Val joined in with my movement and one by one people started to catch on. Everyone was laughing 10 seconds later, and soon were doing their own styles of the 'white boy boogie'. I almost died when I saw Bruno attempting to do it. The room was full of joy and laughter and all too soon the song came to an end.

The dance floor had now crowded and I lost Val. I got into a few conversations and danced with Aly a bit and then I felt someone grab my waist from behind. Finally! I was disappointed to turn and see that it wasn't Val, it was in fact Trevor. I faked a smile and complimented Trevor on his dance earlier and he wrapped me up in a huge bear hug. I loved how comforting Trevor was at the best of times, but I couldn't help the stab of disappointment I felt that I wasn't in Val's arms. After a while I tried to pull out of the hug but Trevor still had a tight hold on me and started to sway to the soft crooning of One Republic's song, 'Feel again'.
