Dancing through the notes of life

the+ex-Chapter 8

Mia{I had no idea that she was gonna come this early

Mia{I'm sorry

Charlie{she's not gonna be awake

I tossed and turned in my bed from my phone's alarm. It refused to stop so I threw it across the room.

It was still ringing. I fell back onto my bed and wrapped my pillow around my ears.

the ringing got louder. Mathew slammed the door open, stomped to the phone and turned it off himself. "Get up already or else I'll force you to."

I mimicked his voice and actions before going back to sleep.

I felt a huge jab at my side and I am wooshed off my bed again.

"Hey, Victoria" Caleb closed his door before he catched up to me. "same as last week, right?"

"Yup," I looked forward, "so how did it go last night."

"Great, I realised it was my ex and we're going on a date later..."

Well that makes me feel a whole lot better

He cleared his throat "What about you?"

"I left the party after Charlie was about to hook me up." I kicked a stone out of my way.

"Oh, Well you know what they say." He stopped in front of the studio

"What do they say?"

"If at first, you don't succeed; try, try again." I weakly punched him in the shoulders and crossed my arms like a child. He grinned at me and entered the building.

That doesn't even make any sense in this situation

"It's not funny." I sulked. Caleb stopped and turned around, he stepped slowly towards me.

"What are you doing." I unfolded my arms and I trudged backwards.

He charged when I had nowhere to run and tickled me harshly. I couldn't stop laughing.

"I thought you said it wasn't funny." He stepped away from me and tilted his head.

"Oh shush," I say as I fixed myself up to look more presentable.

All of a sudden the door creaked open; Charlie's head popped into view "Yo." he opened the door all the way and breezed in. Nicole followed behind him.

She gave Caleb a kiss on the cheek before they walked past us, leaving me astonished.

"let's just get inside shall we." we walked into our assigned room,I hid the confusing blush that crept up my cheeks.

Caleb walked straight to the corner of the room where the speakers were and plugged his phone in. He started the music. I got into my starting position.
Shoulders back.
Long neck.
Chin forward.
Stomach in.

Caleb placed his hand on my back and circled me, his gaze burned through mine.

He turned elegantly; yet, unlike last time, there was a harshness to his acting.

I leaned my back on his hands, relaxing into his touch. He pushed me back onto my feet.

We both circled each other; Caleb, showing the darkness he had hid from me, I showed every ounce of fear I had left mixed with a bewitching feeling.

I turned around with the purpose that he had access to my back. Gracefully, he lifted me up into the air; the breeze cooled me down in the process.

He loosened his grip and I slid back down, his warm breath grazed my neck. After, he did a back walkover ending with two back handsprings. 

I giggled at his enthusiasm, which gave me an adrenaline rush. I did a grande jeté leap combo before finishing it with an Ariel.

I looked over my shoulder to check for Caleb's opinion and in response, he gave me a thumbs up. I smiled.

we reunited at the centre of the room. Caleb placed his hand on my back, while I placed my hands on his shoulders; our free hands became one.

He pulled me closer, affecting my heart beat almost immediately.

As the song progressed I felt more and more tranquil; moving our feet to the rhythm.

Now for the hardest part. The Cambré press lift.

Caleb placed his hands on my waist and lifted me up; arching my back at the peak of the lift while I still managed to gracefully keep my arms rested next to his shoulders. I exited the cambré as soon as he started to lower me back down, I gradually peeled my spine back up and slid against his back.

The song faded out until all you could hear was Caleb and I breathing heavily. Caleb locked eyes with mine and places his forehead on mine in an attempt to ease his breathing.

Caleb moves away from me, looks away and clears his throat, "wanna grab coffee some time?" his voice was so quiet I was nearly unable to hear him at all.

"Sure. As friends though" I awkwardly laugh

He attempts to pull himself together. He also attempts to walk backwards 

"Of course as friends," his back painfully hit the wall, "I will text you for more details, yes?" he found the door and opened it, ready to escape the embarrassment.

"Yes."

he smiled and he was gone. Leaving me with crimson red cheeks.
