Chapter 6:

Juliette POV:

I had the sudden urge to pee but I felt too hot and I couldn’t move. That’s when I saw Danté’s  hand around my waist and our legs were somehow intertwined. How did we end up in this position? I giggle remembering what had happened not so long ago for the third time, wow did that boy have stamina! But anyway, back to the sudden need of the bathroom. I slowly remove his hand and untangle our legs as he tries to wrap his arm tighter around my waist. Aarghh! “Danté!” I whisper –scream “I need to use the bathroom, could you please let go” he loosened his grip and I ran to the bathroom.

When I returned to the room again Danté was facing the other side still sleeping and his shoulders were faced towards me. I slowly got back into the bed and faced the opposite direction so that our backs were facing each other when Danté probably felt the bed dip and turned around half awake, half asleep “Jules?” he said and I turned to face him. He pulled me towards him and I rested my head and hand on his chest with his arm wrapped safely around me “That’s better” he said as he drifted off into a deep sleep once again and so did I as I felt the exhaustion take over as I too drifted off with the goofiest smile on my face.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I woke up the morning I felt the bed next to but it was empty “Danté?” but no response. I made my way to the kitchen thinking he might be there and quickly grabbed one of his shirts to put on. I spotted the cup of coffee and a note lying next to it on the table.

Jules,I trust you slept well? I’m sorry for just leaving, but it was late and I did not want to wake you as I had a rehearsal and then my brother had a crisis and I had to help. I made breakfast. P.S you look cute when you sleep. X Danté

I smile while getting ready to gobble the breakfast down as I was extremely hungry. I looked up at the calendar which he had in his kitchen and realized that today was Saturday! I have the shelter children coming in and I was going to be late. I had a quick shower and after borrowing one of Danté’s shirts and putting on my black pants and pumps from last night, I rushed to the centre where the bus had already arrived.  Good, I was still on time as the kids were just about almost all seated.

 “Good morning kids” I greeted them with a huge smile “so we’re making instruments today are we? Maybe we could even jam after?” I laughed as everyone got a new wave of excitement. After about an hour of making instruments the kids were finally done and I played music while they played with on their homemade percussion.  Everyone was dancing and banging on boxes but one little girl, the one who had sat in the corner, was now sitting there again. I walked to her and sat on the floor as I was quite tall compared to the girl. “Hi, sweety, whats your name?” I asked and she looked up at me with big brown eyes “Sarah” she barely whispered “Well, that’s a beautiful name.” I saw her gaze go to the children and noticed that she had no instrument “Here,” I handed her the rice shaker I held in my hand “Go have fun sweets” and with that she rushed to a group to show them her new shaker.

By the end of the lesson I was exhausted but these kids just had too much adrenaline…  when the bus arrived a loud chorus of “Bye teacher” was heard and as I waved my next student appeared. He appeared very eager and immediately unpacked his bass and plugged in. I giggled as his enthusiasm “whoa, slow down there champ. Whats your name kiddo?”. “I’m Shane” he quickly said and while I was making a note I vaguely heard him play the lick of the bassline of Cape Town Struts bridge. I looked up suddenly and he stopped “Where’d you learn that?” I asked curiousity getting the best of me “My uncle, he doesn’t play bass, but that’s one of his favourite songs” I smiled at how happy he was “Well… your uncle has good taste. It is an awesome song, but before we get there lets sound of music this mother and start at the very beginning” I stood up printing scales and exercises. We first went through the notes and then I wrote down his homework “and I want a practice schedule every week young man and scales, scales and oh I forgot, scales. Got that bud?” he nodded and just as he was walking out hugged me which sort of took me by surprise “Thank you teacher, see you next week” I smiled, I only knew him for a day and yet I was growing a soft spot for this boy “Bye Shane and don’t forget..” “Scales!” he shouted while closing the door behind him.

Danté POV:

“pizza man” I hear Ty shout from the door. I pause the movie and open immediately with Ty holding 3 pizzas and cooldrink”. “Come on in man” he puts the pizza on the kitchen table and takes out glasses and plates “daddy!” he runs towards his dad and Ty picks him up and spins him around and then puts him down “Ohhh, pizza” Ty is forgotten as he spots the pizza. Ty turns to me and puts his hand through his hair “Thanks once again for taking him today, he was very excited” I patted him on his back “No problem man, I enjoyed spending time with my nephew” I said while ruffling my nephews head. Ty then turned to his son who was gladly gobbling his 3rd slice “So, how was it?” he suddenly dropped his pizza, clearly excited to inform his father  “It was awesome! The teacher is so much fun and she’s very pretty” Ty suddenly looked at me “Nah man” I said waving him off, his been trying to set me up for ages “Oh, and uncle D, she was very impressed with that line you taught me, as it was also one of her favourite songs  but then she said it was too soon and gave me scales” he said while pouting and I had to laugh, I already liked this teacher, making sure he had a solid foundation before turning him into Abraham Laboriel. “That means she knows what she’s doing sport. Having a good, solid foundation is key and the good stuff just follows” I suddenly wanted to meet his teacher, out of pure curiosity. “hey Shane, how would you feel about your uncle taking you to lesson next week” he jumped up and down and Ty just gave me a knowing look “what man? Im just curious…”
