We had a week to go until the dance show, Jay and I had practically been living together for the past few weeks. We had rehearsals together, lunch together and spent most of our free time together as well. I was loving every moment of it, after the rocky start to our relationship I was so grateful to have him in my life. The dance show didn't have a running plot like a musical or play but each dance routine told a story and showcased the talent and variety that Littonwood had to offer. Jay and I had two duets, a solo each and were part of most of the group dances. We were rehearsing every moment we got.
Holding hands, Jay and I walk into the studio for our lunch time rehearsal session for our first duet. We stretch out and practise the lifts before going through the routine step by step. Half way through I turn the wrong way and stumble into Jay.
'I can't do this.' I exclaim throwing my arms up in the air.
'Hey it's alright you've got this, let's try again.' Jay encourages getting back into position.
(1.27 in the video)Instead of turning on my own, Jay takes my hand and spins me. I steady myself and jump into the lift. My legs go around his waist and my arms wrap around his shoulders/neck. Jay holds me tight to him and dips my down from right to left before bringing me up again instead of putting me down like he's suppose to he continues to hold me.
Our foreheads and noses are touching due to how close and intimate the position is. Jay tilts his head and kisses me, my legs slide down his till my feet touch the floor. I kiss him back passionately, his body pushed up against mine I still wanted him closer. Before the situation can get too heated, Jay pulls away but maintains eye contact.
'Emma, you're amazing and an incredible dancer you're going to smash it.' Jay grins proudly at me.
'Why thank you, you're not so bad yourself.' I smirk.
He picks me up and spins me round making me squeal. The doors clatter as Mrs Adams and the other dancers come into the studio. Jay puts me down and I blush profusely glad they didn't walk in two minutes earlier. Jay bends to whisper in my ear.
'Your face is reminding me of a little towel incident, I'm sure your face was just as red.'
I blush even more if that is possible.
'Aww you're so cute.' Jay teases.
'Oh shut up.' I huff pushing him jokingly.
I grab my bag and kiss Jay goodbye as this was the one rehearsal I wasn't needed for. I exit the studio and start down the corridor a song in a smaller studio two doors down caught my intention . I walked to the door and peered through the window. It was Zach and Craig practising their duet, the story in their routine was deep and important. Raising awareness of mental health and suicide prevention particularly for gay individuals. I loved watching Zach dance we use to practise together all the time when we were younger. They include hip hop into their dance. I quietly enter and stand by the door. I watch stunned, the dance was impeccable.
'That was awesome.' I applaud stepping away from the door.
'Thanks Emma.' Craig replies catching his breath.
I take a step to walk towards Zach and Craig and I drop to the floor. I scream, my wrist burns sending fire all over my body. Tears stream down my face.
'Bumble.' Zach shouts, there footsteps are deafening as they echo round the room. In an instant Zach and Craig are knelt either side of me. Zach takes my hand and my eyes flutter close.
