We pulled up to the institute. There were no cars in the driveway.

Shoot! I remember now!

My mom gave a holiday for today's batch since she wasn't here. Bennet was also given a holiday but luckily he transfered me the video of the dance with him dancing with Kayla on it.

So it was just going to be me and Jake,alone.

Cute.

My heart was going crazy at that thought. Luckily the things between us weren't as tensed. But still,my feelings were not helping.

We entered the room. There was complete silence. Slightly awkward.

I started the air conditioners and connected the music player.

"I'll go and change. After that we can start okay?" He nodded as I made my way to the changing room.

I got changed and walked out,busy stuffing my jeans in my back pack. When I looked up I stopped short at the sight in front of me. My breathing stopped.

One word, wow.

Jake also got changed. He was wearing loose shorts. What made me stop and almost drool was that he was shirtless. He was looking through his back pack for his shirt,I guess. His back was to me.

As he moved, his back muscles rippled. His arms and biceps looked so strong. His skin looked so smooth. I wanted to move my hand through his strong back like I did when we would make out. His skin was tan and perfect looking and looked so inviting.

Lord save me.

Just then Jake turned around with a black (male) tank top in his hand. And he saw me looking. I immediately turned my vision around but I swear I saw him smirk.

"You know, there is a changing room here Jake." I said,grateful that my voice didn't come out shaky. I took a big sip off my water bottle after that. Never been this thirsty before.

"Yep I know that but you were taking so long so I decided to change here." He shrugged. He was still shirtless.

I wanted to yell at him to just wear a goddamn shirt when suddenly I noticed something that made my cheeks heat up to a whole different level.

Jake was wearing his shirt so his back was faced to me again. I was standing a little closer to him than before so I noticed it right away.

Right below his shoulder on his back, slightly towards the right, there were three permanent scars. Not scars,scratches. More precisely,scratches from my nails. They were not easily visible but if you looked closely,you can see three small,barely visible scratches that I made. Jake turned around after wearing his tank top but the scars were still visible. I was a blushing mess.

Jake followed my vision and noticed what I was looking at. He touched it with his hand then scratched his head lightly and bit his lip,trying so hard not to smirk. I could see how smug he was.

I cleared my throat and said, "Dance time now. Enough of this."

And with that we started to practice. I took my position,my back to Jake. He came up from behind and wrapped his hands around my waist. His chest was flushed against my back. I sucked in a huge breath.

Calm down you stupid heart of mine!

The music started and we danced to it.

All your curves and all your edges...

Jake's hands slid down the side of my chest to my thighs at that and he turned me around. It was a step.

Bennet made this dance way too initimate. I turned around and put my hands around his neck for support. I almost lost my balance. We were chest to chest,flushed to each other.

Our breaths were coming out fast and heavy. His eyes were already on me when I looked up at him. They were dark and dilated. I inhaled sharply.

My eyes moved from his gorgeous eyes to his inviting,pink lips. As soon as he noticed that,his lips parted slightly.

I looked at his eyes again. His eyes were hungrily scanning my face then they stopped on my lips. I licked them unconsciously.

"Rissa" Jake whispered,his voice husky and deep with a little raspy undertone. It sounded so seductive. His eyes were still on my lips.

I just wanted him there and then. I wanted to kiss him so bad. My eyes were literally set on his lips.

Before something could happen a sudden, screeching sound broke us apart. I looked around with shock. My hand was on my heart. It scared me soo bad.

I looked around for the source of that sound. Of course it came from the video that Bennet sent me.

I rolled my eyes. After the whole dance got completed, Bennet before closing off the camera screeched and screamed I love you Clary. Bye,miss me. And he closed off,not before winking at the screen.

I rolled my eyes at that man child. How crazy can a person be? I shut off the music and turned towards Jake. Jake was drinking water from his bottle.

What just happened.

Wow.

"That will be all for today,I guess." I gushed as I started packing up the music system.

"I'll wait for you." Jake said as he switched off the air conditioners.

After that we both made our way to his car. We both were silent,deep in thought. Thinking about what would have happened. Atleast I was thinking about that. He opened the door for me out of habit and I smiled at him.

He gave me a strained smile. He was overthinking about something. He looked a little down.

"Are you okay?" I asked as he started the car.

"Yeah. Fine." He gave me a small smile as he pulled out of the drive way.

When we reached my home I thanked him for the ride and rushed out of his car after saying bye to him.

He waited for me until I was safely inside then pulled away from my house.

Today was exciting,sad and weird.
