Love Me Again

I've Been Through The Same Thing

So here is the thirty sixth chapter.

I added a video in the chapter. You don't have to watch the entire video just the first routine (you'll get it when you watch it). I also changed the song in the middle of the chapter. (Just a heads up). Maybe I should shut up now.

Anyway, I hope you like it.

Song: Slow Down Love- Louise The Child ft. Chelsea Cutler

Ryder's POV:

"So you were talking to Rachel?" I asked her. We left my house and she was taking me somewhere. I didn't know where though.

"Yeah I was." She said with a shrug. She seemed a little distracted when we left and I had no doubt that Rachel probably said something to her.

"And what were you guys talking about?" I asked her. I knew she wasn't going to tell me. She would keep it to herself.

"Nothing. Just getting to know each other." She said. I nodded. Totally believable. I decided not to press the topic.

"Is this a date?" I asked her with a smirk.

"Maybe it is." She answered. We kept talking until we reached our destination. And by destination I mean a short building in the less crowded part of town. She got out of the car. I followed her inside. It was some kind of studio. There were big rooms with at least one mirrored wall in them. It was a dance school. And an abandoned one by the looks of it. I had never seen it before. I also noticed that Natalia was wearing her dancing attire.

"Is this where you come to practice?" I asked her.

"Yeah. This used to be a dance school but they went bankrupt or something and had to close down. It was up for sale and I bought it." She said. She took me to one of the rooms. This one was more maintained than the others.

"How did you find out you liked dancing?" I asked her. I was asking way too many questions. But I wanted to know her. I wanted to know everything about her.

"I always liked dancing. Ever since I was a little girl. I wanted to be a ballerina. There used to be this show where they would show how little girls would train in their little skirts and lace up shoes to become ballerinas. I guess that's what sparked my obsession." She said with a small smile. Her eyes were bright and vivid as she talked about it.

"I feel there's a but coming up." I said. She nodded sadly.

"But, my mother never wanted me to be a ballerina or a dancer. She wanted me to be a doctor or something more 'respectable'. She never let me have dance classes. My father tried talking her into it, but she would always turn him down. After I grew up a bit, I got out of the ballerina stage but I still loved dancing. I would practice in my room early in the morning when everyone would be asleep. I watched youtube videos and what not to teach myself." She said. I was starting to hate her mother. She stopped a bit thinking of how to phrase the next bit.

"Then one day she found out and let's just say I never practiced after that. Or maybe until we moved here and abuelo kicked me out. That's when I met Hunter and he found out I liked dancing and bought me this place." She said a soft smile playing on her lips. Who was Hunter? I didn't ask her that yet.

"Can you dance for me?" I asked her. Well that didn't sound awkward at all didn't it Ryder. I internally face palmed. She looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah okay." She said. She tossed me her phone. "Choose a song from the 'dance' playlist." She said. I scanned the playlist.

"How about 'slow down love'?" I said her. She took off her jacket. I hadn't noticed it before but she was wearing dancing attire.
