Touching the Sky

Chapter 10- My future

  I can't. I can't do this any longer, I can't dance with him. I can't face him, I just can't  trust him anymore. I took a deep breath in and started analysing the whole situation. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. Yeah, that's it! I felt my heart relax, and I took a short breath in. I am so paranoid all the time. But also I'm so naive, just because he kissed me it means, for me, that he's 'mine' in a way or that he wants to have something with me. That's why I keep people away from me, I can't trust 'em at all!

I decided to talk to Cream. Y’know if I'm going to talk to him, I have to answer correctly and talk about my reaction without wanting to kill him. I grabbed my phone and pushed the small buttons. It took her under one ring to answer.

"Hey y'all! This is your sweet-Cream!" She answered. I chuckled, remembering that she has a sweet tooth therefore always putting 'Sweet' before Cream.

"Sweetie-Cream it's me!" I answered.

"Hey Ali! Are you 'k? You sound so... How do I put this? You sound like a truck just ran over you. Oh my gosh, please tell me that a truck hasn't run over you and that you are ok!!! Oh.. Just tell me where are you, I'll look for your body!-" She said. As you can see, most of my dancer friends are a little too paranoid. That also includes me.

"Hush, I'm 'k!" I said trying to relax her. Then I heard her exhale.

"Look, what happened is that..." I started, but then I remembered that she's also a dancer and she might take it worse than I did.

"Is that...?"She insisted. But I was still thinking.

"That..." I have to tell her, maybe this is going to be good for both of us, or at least for me to talk about it! "Look, I realized that I really like Rob and then Kate came along, and came into  the class that Rob and I were using to practice. She walked directly to Rob, and kissed him, and I was so shocked that I started running and now I'm talking to you"

Silence.

More silence.

And then she spoke.

"WHAT THE HEEELL!" She shouted so loud that I had to move the phone from my ear." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I thought he liked you and that you liked him! That you two were all  lovey-dovey, and it was going to be a 'Step Up' love!!!"

"Stop dreaming, really. He's with Kate" I said sadly, almost trying to convince myself that it was all a dream. But unfortunately it was all real. I'm panicking again!!

"C'mon Ali, you haven't heard the whole story, have you?" She said wisely "You have to act natural, ask him about the whole situation and then, and only then, come to conclusions" She was right. I only saw them kiss, but not if he kissed her back or if he liked it or those kind of things.

She's right. I have to ask him.

"Thanks Cream!!!" I said softly. I don't know how, but she always has a good advise. "I think I should go to the Studio, and ask him properly what happened and what is happening between us"

"Good plan babe! Call me when you're done to catch up with everything, 'K?" I could totally see that she was thinking that this was going to end the right way, but I don't know.

" 'K! See ya!" I said really thinking on how to bring up the plan to action.

I hope this works.

I saw him practicing. I was really stalking him, because I was looking through a little hole through the door. He looked graceful as a bird and calm as the wind, but also with the energy of thunder and a big storm.
