Won't Stop Till We Surrender

Chapter Sixteen

*4 months later*

I open my eyes and found arms wrapped around me. I looked up and saw my lovely boyfriend. He stirred underneath me, I turned my slightly to kiss his lips. His eyes opened and I smiled at him.

“Good morning beautiful.” He kissed me forhead. “Happy Birthday baby.” I smiled. “Thank you.” I pecked his lips.

“What’s the plan for today?” I asked getting off Josh and walking into the kitchen. 

“We have to do sound check. So we can go on our date to celebrate your special day when we get back.” Josh wrapped his arms around me as I made some tea. 

“Sounds lovely.” Normally, I would have been sad about the soundcheck, but I’m now a dancer for the boys.

“Okay. I know you say you can’t dance and all but don’t worry, its easy.” Danielle pulled me into the middle of an empty dance hall.

I lied to her. I actually can dance, well I used to. Back when I still lived in Holmes Chapel, Harry would be distant sometimes and it would make me sad. So, I would skip dance classes to be with him. 

Eventually, I quit dancing. I haven’t danced in years. 

Danielle pressed play on her iPhone. Music blasted out the speakers. “As I said its very simple. 5, 6, 7, 8.” Danielle spun, pointed her arm left and right, put her right leg in the air, jumped, twirled, shook her hips. I watched as she danced her heart out, counting as she did each different move. Danielle bowed as the music stopped.

I slapped my hands together. “Wow, Li wasn’t lying. You’re amazing Dani!” I tackled her into a hug.

“Thanks babe. Now you’re turn.” She pushed me into the center.

“Okay, here I go…” I was nervous, because I could either turn out to be horrible or my talent could still be with me.

I started with the spin and everything was so easy. It seems as if my feet had a mind of their own. My foot moved in sync of the music and I bowed as the routine was finished. 

“So….” I asked Danielle as I turned around. Danielle’s mouth was literally open so wide it was touching the ground. 

I walked up to her. “Dani… You there babe?” I sat next to her. She turned to me and punched my arm. “Ow, why did you do that?” I pursed my lips. 

“Becauuuuuuse, you lied to me, Montgomery. What was that?” Danielle pointed her finger at me. “You’re amazing. Even better than I am!”

“Better then you at what?” Eleanor walked in and handed us a bag from Starbucks.

“I just teaching Aria how to dance, but it seems she already knows how to.” Danielle uttered.

“What! You can dance too?” Eleanor sipped her drink. “Now, I’m the only one.”

“Its okay, babe. I’m still rusty.” I opened the bag.

“Thanks El!” I hugged her. She had bought us some wraps and frappuchinos from Starbucks. 

Danielle’s phone rang. She walked out of the room and answered it.

“So have you been to classes?” Eleanor asked. 

I nodded. “I used to go to dance classes in Holmes Chapel.” My eyes widened and Eleanor looked at me oddly.
