Alive

The Lads

Niall POV:

When Bri said dirty-dancing, I practically felt my heart speed up. She turned to Roberto and Noa and asked them if they were ready. They nodded and we started walking to the dance floor. Once we got to the center the DJ saw us and brought the music volume down.

“Oye! Calmate! Now it’s time for the dance contest!!!” He yelled in Spanish.

All around us, we heard people cheering and yelling.

“Ok, ok! Now our lovely girl participants are these two beautiful ladies right here.”

I saw the spot light move to single out Noa and Bri; I heard whooping and whistles, mostly from the guys and I scowled.

“And our guy participants are these two men.” The DJ continued.

I felt the blinding light land on Roberto and I, and heard cheering from the girls.

“Let the competition began!”

My chick bad, my chick hood.

My chick do stuff that yo’ chick wish she could.

I saw Noa start dancing, and the guys started whistling. Roberto was mouthing the words and I cudn’t help but laugh at the hand guestures he was making. Bri was at my side arms crossed with an amused look on her face. I was just there standing and watching Noa dance. Damn, she can move, I thought to myself. Then I started getting nervous; What if I make a fool of myself? What if Bri wud be embarrassed of me? A million thoughts raced to my head as the seconds ticked by. Finally, I saw Noa do a last dance move that made the guys go wild. Oh crap, it’s our turn.

Now your girl might be sick but my girl sicker

She rides that dick and she handles her liquor

I knock a bitch out and fight

Comin’ out swingin’ like Tiger Woods’s wife

Bri started dancing in a way that made my eyes pop out. I couldn’t believe my eyes. When our turn started she turned towards me and put her hands on my sides. She went down my leg and back up and one swift movement. I almost missed my part and started mouthing the words at the last second. Bri was just doing these moves I’ve never seen before and every single guy was soaking it up. Finally, her singing part came on and I was surprised when the DJ turned off the music and it was really her rapping the words.

Now all these bitches wanna try and be my bestie?

But I take a left and leave ‘em hangin’ like a testie

Trash talk to ‘em, then out ‘em in a hefty

Running down the court, I’m drunkin’ on ‘em, Lisa Leslie

She rapped the part so great and even made hand movements to show her point. I was smiling and cheering her on; So were the other guys….

She ended her part perfectly and Noa and her started dancing together. They moved their hips in perfect rhythm. When the song was almost over, they walked back to Roberto and I. They finished the song by grabbing on to us and leaning back in a big dip. I caught Bri in my arms and held her there. I looked at her face all rosy from dancing and just stared into her beautiful brown eyes.

Bri POV:

We stayed like that for awhile; Just staring into each other’s eyes. I felt my legs go weak and was glad he was holding me. I finally broke the moment,

“Uhhh, I need to go to the restroom…” I muttered.

I broke away from his arms and started towards the bathroom. I’m such an idiot! Why did I have to ruin the moment? I slapped my forehead with the palm of my hand and walked into the restroom. It was empty and I walked to the mirror. I saw my reflection and groaned. I looked horrible; My face was all red and my hair was everywhere. I can’t believe Niall saw me like this. I splashed some water on my face and tried to fix my hair as best as I cud. I looked at myself one last time in the mirror before heading out of the restroom. I stepped out and looked around before I felt myself being grabbed and dragged into a dark area.
