I Didn't Expect This To Happen

Chapter 1

(This fanfiction takes place after Meryl and Maksim win the 18th season of Dancing With The Stars, and is told from Meryl's point of view.)

  "So are you going to do it?" Charlie questioned. To be honest, I wasn't sure if I wanted to join dancing with the stars. The only partner I've ever had was Charlie. I couldn't imagine dancing with anyone, but him. Well, there was one exception, Dereck Hough. I've talked to him before, and he seems like a great guy. The five mirror ball trophies to his name made him an ideal dance partner. "Yeah, I'm going to do it," I grinned to Charlie.

(The day the celebrities meet their new dance partners)

 I walked into the studio and waited for my partner to arrive. "He's late, Dereck would never be late." I thought to myself. Then I heard a thud hit the studio, followed by a thick Russian accent. "It must be Val" I guessed. My assumptions were corrected when Val's older brother walked through the door. Maks. I've seen Maks on the show in previous seasons, I've seen it all. His arguements with the judges, his meltdowns in the dance studios, and his arrogance. He wasn't the my favorite dancer on the show, but I didn't want to be rude to him. I decided to put on my fakest "I'm so happy you're my partner" face. I had to admit, he was pretty attractive, but we are nothing alike. He's a "badboy" and considered a "Russian hottie". We were both out of each others league.

"So our first dance of the season, and this week..." he continued as his eyes scanned my body. I couldn't help but feel a rush of insecurity flow through my spine. He was not making a good first impression. But I had to put on my best "I'm so excited to be dancing with you" act. Maybe I could persue in an acting career. I was good at this. If I showed my disappointment, the media would be all over it. For now, I had to deal with this arrogant, yet attractive, Russian dancer.
