Just Me And Him: Part 2
I couldn't believe my eyes, what on earth was he doing here!? He scanned the room and soon found my eyes. He smiled quickly and swiftly went over to Miss Honey and smirked sweetly to her. We were told to carry on with our allongés (which is where you put yours arms as far out as possible).
After they finished talking, I was eager to go and talk to the mysterious boy. He shook off his jumper and tracksuit bottoms. He was already in his ballet kit, getting warmed up. He glanced up and started to walk towards me. My heart started to race, what was I going to say to him? , what was I going to do?
"Hi, I hope you don't mind but can I be your partner? ..... We're about to do some lifts" he asked shyly.
I tried not to gulp but I couldn't hold it back.
"Errrrr...... sure, why not?" I stuttered while i tried not to seem like a total failure.
"Thanks, so ... what's your name then?" the boy smiled at me.
"I'm Larrisa.......and I don't mean to be rude, but what were you doing here yesterday?" I tried not to sound bothered, as I tried to find out more about him.
"Oh ....that, I was seeing what the class was like, I saw you, you're very beautiful when you dance, if you don't mind me saying?" he looked deeply into my eyes.
I giggled slightly and looked passionately back.
"Thanks, that's very sweet of you ..... Oh sorry I forgot to ask, what's your name?" I asked as I tried not to look back at him, I didn't want to make it obvious that I thought he was amazingly good looking and dreamy.
"I'm Zac, and I think the teacher is talking so we'd better shut up for a sec" he whispered while moving closer to me.
Miss Honey started to demonstrate the lift we were about to learn. It was complicated, but I was confident I was going to be able to do it. After she finished rambling on about it, Zac took my hand gently and calmly put it on his shoulder. He pulled me into his chest slowly with his other hand. He asked if I was ready for the big moment. I just nodded, thinking that I must trust him otherwise this partnership wasn't ever going to work if we were going to be together permanently. I took in a deep long breathe pushed up with my legs, while his hands were on my waist pushing me upwards.
