Chapter 5:

The Swing

The next morning Meryl showed up at rehearsal, thinking that it would be business as usual. When she walked in the camera crew wasn't there yet which meant she was alone with Maks. She couldn't help smiling at the thought. Maks was on the far side of the room stretching. He didn't look like he heard her come in so she had the element of surprise. She gently put down her stuff and tiptoed over to Maks, then jumped like a fairy in flight to land on his back. Maks, seeming to know that Meryl would do this, caught her then with much grace swung her around his body so he was carrying her in his arms.

"Good morning to you too." Maks said laughing he put Meryl on her feet but kept his hands on her waist, pulling her up against his body. Meryl wrapped her arms around his neck and pet his hair.

"Just making sure you're awake handsome." She said, making Maks' eyebrows shoot up. His mouth turned into a grin

"Handsome, huh?" he said giving her a seductive look

"Yes, very..." out of nowhere Meryl took charge and kissed Maks, hard. She was tired of waiting for him to do it, and she didn't want any more almost kisses. Meryl put all she had into that kiss to show Maks how much she wanted him. He was caught off guard but then melted into the kiss, letting Meryl feel his hunger for her. It lasted a few minutes before Meryl pulled away. Maks' eyes were wide.

"I was tired of waiting, I needed to see..." Meryl began to explain but Maks cut her off by kissing her again. This time the kiss was softer and more passionate. Then it was Maks who broke this kiss after several minutes had gone by. His face remained very close to hers as he whispered to her.

"We have to start." he reluctantly started to pull away but Meryl pulled him back.

"I love you." She whispered, making Maks smile and caress her cheek.

"I love you too." he said and this time Meryl let him pull away. She could still taste Maks on her lips which made her feel light headed. She started to smile and think about how she finally had Maks to herself. He loved her, and she loved him.

It was a great start to rehearsal for Meryl and it was exciting to perform all the flips and tricks of the dance. It was a dance that required quick movements which made it fun to do but more challenging to keep up with Maks. They only got through the basic steps before taking a break. The hardest was yet to come.

"You look nervous." Maks said

"I'm not nervous." Meryl said truthfully

"A little?" Maks said, did he want her to be nervous?

"No, are you?"

"I'm not nervous at all, no." he said but Meryl saw through his walls

"I don't believe you" she said laughing, the big mean sexy Russian was nervous, she thought playfully. Maks started to walk around with his arms behind his back. Meryl laughed because she thought he looked like a chicken.

"That's your nervous walk." she said laughing harder and started to imitate him which made Maks smile and laugh along with her.

After all the goofing around, they went back to practicing.

Holding Meryl up above him Maks told her he had to throw her over his head.

"Ooooooookay." she said. Now Meryl understood why Maks was so nervous. After many, many tries of Meryl being thrown over Maks' shoulder and her falling instead of landing on her feet, they finally got it down. And moved on to the next move. Throughout the dance Meryl couldn't stop laughing because Maks was flinging her back and forth. Meryl thought it was really fun to be thrown around by a strong, hot Russian guy. Luckily this strong, hot Russian guy was hers and he knew that.

"Dancing Swing, Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy." Meryl and Maks started dancing in a circle made of the other dancers and their partners. They went down the stairs and continued their dance with huge smiles and fast moving legs. By the end of the dance Meryl was out of breath and was laying on Maks on the floor like they rehearsed. It felt so normal to be on top of Maks and she didn't want to get off of him. She patted Maks' leg and got up. They got the judges comments and scored a 25 out of 30, putting them back in first place.

Meryl didn't even know how it happened, but the last thing she remembered was talking to Maks over a drink at a nearby bar after the show and now she was clinging on to his body and kissing him in her bedroom doorway.

"Meryl..." he whispered moving her lips with his. Then continuing the kiss. They were both out of breathe when they got into the room. Maks pressed Meryl's body against the wall and kissed her neck. She let out a gasp of pleasure and guided her lips from his ear to his cheek and back to his lips.

That night went by with a blur and Meryl woke up the next morning in her bed with a headache. She didn't realize what had happened last night until she turned to find a body laying in her bed next to her...
