Chapter 8: Dancing and Girls

Abby came walking and looked at Caroline. What is it mom I'm kind of. Oh Marcus hello she said as she lightly blushed a bit. Caroline smiled at me then turned back to Abby.

So Marcus need's to learn how to dance so would you mind being his dance partner for this lesson?

She nodded and walked over to me smiling as she placed one hand on my shoulder and grab my hand with the other as I place my free hand on her waist.

Just relax Marcus and listen to the beat of the music she said as Caroline turned on the radio. I closed my eyes and started to bob my head a bit as I listened to the beat and took my first step forward. Without missing a beat we began to dance a traditional ballroom.

Oh my Marcus you're a natural! Caroline exclaimed as we danced around the living room.

Finally the song came to an end as I dipped Abby and pulled her back up. Quickly she broke the pose blushing and then backed off a bit.

I uh I have to go do something. Thank you for the dance she said as she ran off into her room.

Caroline smiled at me and placed a hand on my shoulder. Marcus I didn't know you had a natural talent like that. I smiled and looked at her. I didn't know myself to be honest.

I thanked Caroline as I began to leave. I looked at Abby's door then walked back out into the main store floor picking up some seeds and left for home.

Abby placed her hand over her chest and slid down to the floor her back against the door as she blushed brightly. What is this feeling she said to herself as she pondered what had happened.

I started to walk down the road way when I suddenly got a song stuck in my hand and started to dance a bit. Suddenly I heard a laugh and looked up to see a blond haired guy in a blue jacket jump down. Your Marcus right he said with a big grin and shook my hand.

I nodded and smile. And you are? I'm Sam nice to meet you. I smiled at him and said. It's nice to meet you then Sam.

We talked for a bit about different things such as music and what life was like in Zuzu city and before I knew it. Time had gone by and it was starting to get dark. We said our good byes and headed on our ways back to our homes.

As I entered the gate I saw someone sitting on my deck. I could hear what sounded like crying as I walked up closer.

It was Leah her face all read as I stood in front of her. She looked up as I pulled out a bandana from my pocket.

What's wrong I asked as I kneeled down? She took the bandana and started to dry her tears. Can we talk? She asked. I nodded and helped her up as we walked into my cabin.

I put a kettle on the stove then sat down at the table with her. So what happened? She looked away clinching the bandana in her lap. It's my ex-boyfriend he keeps calling me saying I should come back to him. That I'll never make it as an artist and I should just come back to him and go to school to get a degree in something that will pay a lot of money.

I nodded at her then looked out the window. But then you'll never truly be free I said. She turned and looked at me as I just stared out into the darkness. I did the whole school thing and got a degree and all it did was make my life miserable day in and day out working in an office.

She then placed her hand on mine and I turned to her. So you know what I mean then? I nodded as the kettle went off. Quickly we moved our hands away blushing a bit as I got up and grabbed two cups and placed them on the table followed by the kettle.

We smiled and talked for a good part of the night away then she got up and I walked her to the door. Are you sure you don't want me to walk you home? She nodded as she started to walk down the steps.

I then clinched my fist as she started walking down the pathway. Leah! Wait I want to ask you something? She turned around with a questioned look on her face as I ran up to her. Would you go with me to the flower dance?

She blushed then nodded at me. I'd love to she said. And with that she continued to walk down the path as I stood there my hands in my pocket.
