It's been a few days since I've been on set. The dancers haven't been needed, so today is our first day back. Jay and I were in the practice room stretching and chatting. I've definitely noticed us getting flirtatious and a lot more comfortable around each other. Every where we went, he usually had his arm around me. Some of the other dancers started making comments about how great a couple we make. Of course, I promptly corrected them and told them we were only friends. Whenever I corrected the others, I believe it hurt Jay's feelings but I just wasn't trying to put myself in that position where he thinks one thing when it's really another.
All of a sudden someone put on music while we were waiting to go on set. Jay grabbed me and we started playing around; dancing all crazy. A couple minutes later, I hear the music go off and everybody clapping. I turn to look at what the fuss was about, and I see Michael walking into the room. He continued walking to the front of the room waving and smiling. Jay nudged me when he realized I wasn't clapping. I just shrugged and crossed my arms.
Michael: After the round of applause died down, "Hey everybody. I just wanted to come and ...say hi. You're doing a great job!" He was looking through the room anxiously and smiling, "You all know I love dancing and just wanted to ummm.. Come in here and join in on the fun for awhile. Is that ok?"
The room went ecstatic! Someone turned the music back on and Michael started dancing with a few people towards the front of the room.
I was just glad Jay and I were towards the back. I did not desire to be anywhere around that boy. We continued to dance; Jay actually kept my mind focused on him and myself. We were laughing and having a good time, until I saw out the corner of my eye; Michael was making his way through the room. He was heading towards the back but I knew he hadn't seen me yet. I made sure to maneuver myself so my back was towards his direction. I also got closer to Jay just incase Michael did see me; maybe I could make him a little envious.
Jay put his hands on my waist and stared into my eyes. I got on my toes and gave him a quick peck. After that, I noticed Jay's eyes were looking behind me and he started smiling. His right hand left my waist and reached out to shake somebody's hand. I turned around and there was Michael.
Jay: Shaking Michael's hand, "Nice to meet you Mr. Jackson. My name is Jay!"
Michael: looking at me while he was shaking Jay's hand, "Nice to meet you. Could I borrow your friend here?"
Jay: looked over at me and smiled, "Sure you..."
Samarah: I interrupted him, "For what?"
Michael: "I would like to speak with you," he put his hand out. "I promise I'll just take a minute." I sighed and put my hand into his, "I'll bring her right back Jay" He said as we started walking towards the door.
Michael held my hand firmly as we made our way out the room. Neither of us were saying a word as we reached outside the building. He closed the door behind us. He turned back to look at me but I couldn't look in his eyes.
Michael: he put his hands in his pockets, "well..uhh, how are you Samarah?"
Samarah: I unintentionally let out a sigh, "great!"
Michael: "I wanted to talk to you about last week." I didn't say anything; I just grabbed my arm and started rubbing it. "Are you cold?"
Samarah: Didn't even realize he noticed, but I dropped my arm. "No I'm fine." Even though I was, we were shooting at night and it got chilly.
Michael: "Here, take this!" He took off his jacket and put it over my shoulders.
Samarah: I let out a tiny smile, "thanks"
