Open Hands~ Bryles

Chapter 25- Trust

A/N: A bit of a filler chapter, I won't be able to update for a while as I'm in a show and need to think of ideas for this book; I have pre written chapters but I like to have at least 5 drafts when I update.

Also: MY NEW ONESHOT BOOK ABOUT BRYLES IS UP IN CELEBRATION OF 1 YEAR OF BRYLES! ❤️❤️ Check it out!
Briar's POV
"Okay. So when you come down from that lift, you and Devon have to be super close. Almost kissing. It's a big part of the story." Louis Natasha, our trio choreographer, instructs us using hand gestures. Devon and I execute the lift perfectly and does what she said, I manage to catch Myles' eye whilst doing so; I could see how envious he was of Dev. It was super cute.

"Developé your leg Briar, Devon will take the leg as you leap.... Yes! Yes! Like that." We do the lift whilst she explains.
"Myles. This is where you come in." The choreographer snaps his attention from myself towards her, he just hums and waits for her to speak. Louis starts rambling about ideas and trying to think of a good transition into my leap in Seconde.

"If Devon throws her, then he could tip her towards me- B can backwards walkover my shoulders then repel me away. It fits with the storyline." He suggests, raising his right eyebrow.

Lou turns towards me, slightly biting her thumb nail.
"Do you think you could do that?"
I nod vigorously: "Yep!"
We try it out, it worked really well.
We all high five eachother and group hug.
"I really love that idea! Well done Myles!" Louis shakes Mylo's shoulder as a 'congratulations'. He just smiles shyly in return.

We continue working through the routine until we get to the climax of the dance, the big lift.
"This section requires a lot of trust between all three of you-" Miss Natasha starts saying.
"I trust my boys." I rub one shoulder each of Devon and Myles. They both turn and smile at me.

We set out some mats incase the lift doesn't work out, which I was very doubtful about- Devon had lifted me tons before and of course I also trusted my boyfriend. The lift starts with me jumping off the back of a kneeling Myles; so we got told to practise this before adding Dev into the equation.
Louis was instructing him on drills, leaving an opportunity for Mylo and I to talk whilst they were engrossed in conversation.

"Sorry if I crush your back." I giggle.
"Haha, you won't. You're as light as a feather!" He exclaims, picking me up with one hand.
"Put me down!" I rub his muscular arm whilst pretending to whimper.
"Aren't you just the cutest!?" He mocks, plopping me back on the floor and tapping my nose.
"Oi !" I jokingly charge at him and we continue play fighting.

A loud sound splits through the air, causing us to stop in our tracks- my eyes scan the room until they land on Louis, hands together as she had just clapped.
"You two! Back to practise!" She jokingly does a 'I'm watching you' signal with her hands before smiling and looking back at Devon.
We practise it and soon run the lift along with Myles being a helpful platform.

"Great work today! You have really impressed me! We'll pick this up again soon."
We had finally finished rehearsals and I was utterly drained, the dance became more tiring and challenging as the rehearsal continued- I couldn't wait to go to bed later.

"You still coming over for the barbecue?"I remind Myles between pants and gasps for air. He starts to speak but is interrupted by Devon.
"Get in there bro. Don't forget contraception afterwards." He slaps him on the back, Myles turning a deep shade of scarlet; either from embarrassment or the gruelling rehearsal we just had.
I scold Dev, scrunching up my eyebrows; he soon realised what he said and leaves his mouth hanging open slightly.
"Oh shit! I wasn't meant to say that.."

"We AREN'T having sex.." I reinforce.
"Yet..." Came the reply from the darker haired boy.
"What have you been telling him?!" I turn to Myles who had been silent, my hands sassily placed on my hips.
He tries to think of words, looking panicked at Dev:
"That you're datin-"

"Devon! You have such a fucking big mouth! Shut up!" Myles snaps, getting easily angry at his best friend.
"I didn't want him knowing yet.." I felt a betrayed by my boyfriend, now his friends are going to take the piss!
"I'm sorry babe. You told Jessy and I couldn't hold it in anymore." Mylo places an hand on my arm which I soon shrug off.
"Jessy FRICKING found out! I didn't WANT to tell her- " I feel heat boil and course through my veins until I see Myles' face drop: "I.... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped."

A small smile creeps into his face as he embraces me, kissing my cheekbone.
"That's okay. I'm sorry I told them. I hope you understa-"
"I totally understand." I cut him off.
"As long as you don't take the piss!" I direct the last bit at Devon.
He nods and 'zips' his mouth shut.
