When Ballet dancer Ruby and Youtuber/Rapper sensation KSI meet through mutual friends. How will they cope under the pressure of their fans and their personal struggles.
This book is based on the POV of the main character Ruby, if you would like to f...
JJ had a day off from boxing training with Viddal, after he made him spar with some big scary dudes. So when he got some well earned rest, he decided to go see Ruby as they haven't really spoke since the party. Plus he needs to stay away from both Simon and Cal because he didn't want to be dragged into the fight over Rose, as he was as close to the two of them, he didn't want to fall out with neither of them.
He walked into the dance school which he found by a cheeky google search, luckily the doors were opened and he let himself in. There were a few girls walking around in their leotards and pink tights, with their hair all gelled back into a tight bun. He couldn't help but notice they all stopped and looked at him as he walked passed. As if they haven't seen a black dude before. He walked along the long corridor making sure to look in every door and window which had lessons going on to find the brunette.
It wasn't until he got to the last room when he noticed the Canadian. He stood in the doorway as he become under her spell. He watched as she graciously moved around the tarnished floor, she looked like it was effortless how she rose onto her pointes, he noticed how elegant she looked went the music softened and slowed and then becoming more rapid but still on elegant in her movement as the music was more faster and upbeat. He couldn't help but notice how different she looked from the prim and proper ballerinas, she had her hair in messy braids while she had one a yellow cropped hoodie on top of her leotard, with leg warmers hiding her ribbons wrapped around her ankles.
Ruby was completely lost in the music as she let the music take hold of her body. She hasn't been feeling 100% for a while now, but because she had a lot of work to do the more she was depending on cocaine, which obviously thrilled her dealer as she always paid him well. She was relying on it more as the buzz was getting her through the full day in the studio. She wanted to find the best song for her solo piece in the Championships as she had already behind with everyone but even for her she is so picky and is always chopping and changing her mood. She is even known to change the song a day before a performance which Aries has now got used to, but before he got super annoyed. It was quickly known him to learn the dance and drown out the music as it was more than likely to change on the night.
As the song come to the end the Watford born clapped his hands which instantly made Ruby jump as she around in shock to see him.
"Jesus" she breathed out as her hand went to her chest making her feel her heart thumping at a fast beat. "Are you trying to give me a bloody heart attack?" She questioned.
He let out a small chuckle as he put his hands up in defence. "I had to come and check that you were alive, considering it seemed like you fell off the earth going all M.I.A on us" he spoke as he walked over to the dancer.
"Well here I am" she breathed out as she walked over to corner of the room and grabbed her bottle of water.
"I spoke to Rose.. she mentioned that you two had an argument" he stated instantly noticing how her body tensed up.
"Could say that" she nodded as she bent down and started untying her ribbons.
"Want to talk about it?"
"Nope" Instantly shutting him down but giving him a small smile. "How's Cal?" She asked.
He let out a sigh. "Honestly I have no clue, I haven't seen him since he went face to face with Simon and punched him" he accounted.
"He deserved to know what they did behind his back, I told him about them- I just didn't want them to play him for anymore of a fool that they've already" she admitted as she slipped the pink satin pump off giving her aching feet some relief.
He let out a small sigh as he knew that this will come flying back in her feet and he'll have to get involved in a fight that he shouldn't have.
"Let's not talk about them, why don't we go around London, pretend to be tourist for the afternoon" he suggested with a big smile, hoping she wouldn't shut him down.
She stood looking at him for a few minutes just in thought, a smile smile appeared on her face as she noticed he become nervous under her stare.
"Only if you get me some pancakes"
He nodded as he let out a laugh. "What's it's with you Canadians and pancakes?"
....
Most of the afternoon we spent going around London being tourists with JJ being the guide, despite me already living here for nine years I've managed to see and learn new things. We found an amazing cafe that had the incredible pancakes, which JJ just enjoyed watching me eat them as according to him I was making funny faces. We took an Uber to central London, so I could go see Buckingham Palace which we both got a lot of enjoyment watching the guards, just stand there and watching the change of guard movement, which we reacted a few times with them.
"You know ever since I was younger I always fantasised about living in London" I admitted as we sat in a cute English pub garden.
He raised his brows up as he sipped his water. "Really why?"
"I love how much history there is in the country, I always thought everyone walked around with a cup and saucer with top hats and a cigar" I joked making us both laugh.
"And how is the reality?" He questioned.
I shrugged as my eyes wandered around the small garden. "In it's own way I think it's better"
"What made your family up camp and leave the sixes?" He asked leaning on the wooden table which was sat inbetween us.
I started picking at my nails, avoiding his eye contact even though his eyes were burning holes into my face.
"Shit...Ruby I'm sorry-"
I shook my head which made him stop, I looked at him and gave him a small smile. "We moved here straight after my mother's death, my grandparents took us in and thought it would be best to grow up near her as she is buried here and she has always loved London and wanted to uproot here" I admitted.
He gave me a sympathetic smile as his hand grabbed mine. "Well I am glad you are here"
I crinkled my nose up. "I didn't take you to be the mushy type Mr KSI" I laughed. "Thank you for today, it's been nice to get out of the studio and just forgetting about everything in life" I smiled.
"I'm glad I could be of assistance" he winked as he sipped his drink.
