Chapter Four:

Meryl's House

After receiving three eights from the judges and ending up tied with Danica and Val for first place on the leader board, Meryl and Maks went to Meryl's house. They wanted some privacy away from the cameras. After Meryl closed the door behind them, she led Maks into the kitchen by his hand. They stopped and Maks put his hands on her waist. He leaned into her, his mouth brushing against her right ear. It felt so right to be with Maks, her Maks. Nothing could ruin this moment. He was hers and she was his, they belonged together.

"You were incredible tonight." he said into her ear

"But it wasn't a perfect score." she said, Maks looked at her with incredulous eyes.

"Nobody expects you to be perfect from the beginning, Meryl. You are the best dancer on that floor." Maks said reassuringly "But yes we can do better, and we will."

"You know what this means don't you?" Meryl said excitingly "We get to spend more time together until we are perfect." she started to caress Maks' arms while his mouth formed a mischievous grin.

"I like the sound of that." he said in the Russian accent that made Meryl's heart melt. Maks bent his head down and kissed Meryl's neck.

"Meryl..." he whispered, Meryl felt his warm breathe on her skin "I should go." Meryl straightened herself to look him in the eyes

"But you just got here." she put both of her hands on his chest, feeling the warmth radiate off of him.

"I know but if someone found out..." his voiced trailed off as Meryl stood on her tip toes so her lips were millimeters away from his.

"Nobody will find out, it's just you and me here. We can do whatever we want." She whispered her lips so close. Her eyes half closed waiting for him to make the first move and close the small distance between their lips. She could see the desire in his eyes, he wanted it as much as she did. What was he waiting for? He just looked at her lips then averted his eyes and gently pushed her away.

"We can't risk it I'm sorry. We start rehearsal for the Swing dance tomorrow morning." He paused to look back at her "Goodnight Meryl." Maks opened the front door and left without waiting for Meryl's response. The door slammed shut making Meryl jump.

"Goodnight." She said quietly to the now empty room.
