Just a Simple Touch

16

It bothered me that Alvaro didn't take my dancing in consideration in the possible relationship that we could have, I want us to work out. I don't know what else to do that can convince Alvaro to stay with me, if he loved me the way I love him he would stick this out with me. 

"Valentina your being sloppy ! control your turns !" Ms. Reign yelled snapping me out of my thoughts 

We were all in the middle of doing a floor routine exercise and I was too busy thinking about Alvaro and our relationship it was making me mess up in class. I quickly pulled myself together and began to dance the way I normally do.

"Better" Ms.Reign mumbled before walking away from me and eyeing down the other dancers to see what other mistakes she can point out 

Once class was done all of the girls including myself  began to gather all of our things and put on our clothes to leave for the night

"Alright girls ! remember this Saturday we will be attending the all boys ballet school, we will all be meeting here at 9am sharp so we can go on the coach bus do not be late or you will be left have a good evening" Ms. Reign said 

"You seemed a bit off today" Maddie said as we slipped on our sweatpants and our sweaters 

I sighed "Yea I know I could barely focus I need to get it together" I couldn't let my outside life get in the way of ballet, this is just too important to let it slip through my fingers 

I grabbed my dance bag and pulled it over my shoulders, once Maddie and I were ready we began to make our way out of the studio and as we were exiting there stood Huston by the door way "I can't believe this" I muttered to myself 

"What is it?" Maddie asked 

"Huston" I whispered to her 

"Is he here for you ?" Maddie whispered back 

I didn't know how to respond. The way he walked out of my dorm earlier today told me he didn't want anything to do with me so there is no way he can be here for me, but at the same time I don't think he was here for Rebecca I saw her leave the studio already. The closer we walked towards Huston to leave the studio the more that I noticed he was looking directly at me making sure his eyes didn't leave my sight. 

I made the bold decision to walk right past Huston when we finally made it to the exit of the studio, but his hands quickly grabbed my arm and gently pulled me back and for once  I didn't like his soft touch it caused me to overreacted "Don't touch me !" I shouted 

Huston rolled his eyes "You acted like you didn't see me" 

"No I saw you I ignored you" I responded 

"You thought I would allow you to just walk past me like that?" Huston asked 

"Um hell yeah, I don't know who the fuck you think you are" I spat 

I saw Maddie's eyes widen at my language and honestly I was surprised by my language I usually don't curse but Huston was bringing out this angry side of my that I don't often see.

"I just want to take you somewhere Vally" Huston said calmly 

His pet name for me was not making me feel any better, I don't know what he wants from me, oh wait he says he wants me, but what does that even mean ?! Frankly I don't want to know what he means by that.

Before I spoke again I made sure to calm myself down by taking a deep breath in and out "Huston I don't know how to make it more clear that I don't want to go anywhere with you" 

Huston sighed and ran his fingers through his hair and honestly that was the hottest thing I have ever seen wait why am I even thinking about him like that ?! I shook the thoughts out of my head and went back to hating him. 

"Huston she's had a long day and ballet was hard today maybe she just wants to relax in her own room" Maddie said as nicely as possible trying to defuse the problem I was thankful for that

Huston looked over at Maddie and squinted his eyes "Nobody asked for your opinion" 

"Don't talk to her like that !" I shouted at him 

Huston walked closer to me looking into my eyes and once again that weird anxious, but good feeling came back and I couldn't understand why. Everything about him aggravates me but something about the way he looks at me, they way his cold soft hands feels on my skin ignites everything inside of me at times and I despise it. 

"Vally I am begging you to come with me" Huston frowned yet managed to keep his voice deep, raspy, and sexy 

I wanted to say no I truly did, but the way he tilted his head when he was told no was attractive and the way he got close to me practically took my breath away and overall the way he held himself made me say "Yes" and when I did a small smile of sucess appeared on his face. 

Huston took my hand into his and to my surprise I didn't collapse to the floor by his touch. I felt his hands intertwined with mine and he did not once break our eye contact "Are you ready Vally?" He asked in the same soft deep tone

I nodded my head and the next thing I knew he was guiding me down the steps to leave the building, as we walked away I looked back towards Maddie to tell her bye, but I couldn't find the words which is what seems to happen when Huston makes me feel that weird feeling. Maddie seemed to understand what I was trying to say when she nodded her head once and next thing I knew she was out of sight.
