In Love With You

In Love With You [Chapter Three]

Brooklyn had to admit that in fact she liked to dance. Back home in Montana she had been out dancing in bars a lot. The difference was; people seemed to enjoy different kinds of music and dances in the city and somehow among all those students she felt hesitant. To top it, she was there with Theo and even though she would never admit it, she didn't want to make a fool out of herself in front of him.

Anyway she hadn't had a chance when he had grabbed her and dragged her onto the dance floor. She didn't miss the glares she was receiving from other women which she partly knew or had never seen before. She was well aware of the fact that many female fellow students weren't too happy to see her being friends with Theo.

She found those reactions childish. Only because the two of them were friends didn't mean there was going to happen anything between them. And even if this would happen, it was their decision. Brooklyn had never been a jealous person, she was well aware of the fact that other people were completely different when it came to that. Especially women had a talent to go after those who could be a rival for them.

This had been one reason why Brooklyn hadn't wanted to enter the cheerleader team. Back in highschool she had already stayed away from those activities. Jazz though had been interested in doing it and somehow had managed to talk her into it. Her best friend had a talent for that. Not only hadn't she tried everything to make them become close like sisters within the first few days they were living together but also had made her go out more. And enter the cheerleader team. This had been where Jazz had met Don. And where Brooklyn had met Theo.

Brooklyn was aware of the fact that she wasn't like most of the other women in the cheerleader team. Jazz was different either though and as long as her friend was by her side, not giving a bit on what the others were thinking, she would simply do the same.

Now they were on the dance floor and Brooklyn didn't miss the winks she got from Jazz. She didn't know why her friend was so pushy regarding the two of them getting together. Jazz's explanations though made sense to her. Her best friend was the only one who knew every detail about her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Damien. This relationship had made her become careful. She wasn't going to throw herself into a new one and give as much as she had done with this person again that easily. But she agreed that she shouldn't block out any close connections with men either.

"You're still not that comfortable?" Theo asked her, causing Brooklyn to snap back to the present.

"Oh, it's just...I'm no dancer," she replied, blushing lightly. Instinctively she glanced over at a near group of women. The looks they gave her quickly made her look away again.

"Or it's just the wrong music," he said with a wink. "Give me a second."

With that he led her over to the edge of the dance floor before he headed over to the DJ. Brooklyn raised an eyebrow as she watched the two men exchange a few words. Her curiosity increased as Theo winked at her. A moment later she understood why. Because the usual party music was replaced by country music that now blasted out of the boxes.

"Is this your taste?" he asked, returning with a broad grin. And without waiting for an answer, Theo grabbed her arm again and pulled Brooklyn with him over to where Jazz and Don were standing.

"Good music," Jazz said with a wink at Brooklyn. "You still not willing to dance?"

"Not a chance," Theo answered for her.

She glanced at her friends with raised eyebrows. Just a moment later though, Brooklyn, Theo, Don and Jazz were twirling over the dance floor, moving to the country music that definitely was her taste. All of the sudden, the looks of people didn't matter anymore. The discomfort was no longer holding her back. Instead she was simply enjoying herself, along with her friends and without wasting a single thought on anyone else.
