One Shots (& More)

NYC (Kian Lawley & Courtney; Pt.1)

Courtney's POV

Maybe its the rhythm, maybe its the beat. Maybe its the movement, the footwork, the raw feel of the street. No matter what I can’t stop moving my feet. Dance is my everything, the one thing I eat sleep and breathe. Dance is a part of me and always has been. I do it everywhere, even in random crowded areas because my best friend is a nut job and convinces me to do it, not that I mind.

“Get it Court! Yessss!” Dee egged me on from the doorway of the shop I was currently dancing in front of. Her bluetooth speaker was blasting Telegraph Ave, my movements flowing with the beat while Childish Gambino sang. A good amount of people had stopped to watch, I see the unmistakable flashes of cameras and hear the beeps to signal a recording being made but it doesn’t stop me. Even as the song ends I add few more steps to the masterpiece of personalized art. The crowd cheers for me and I smile and bow as a thank you.

“COURTNEY SOLSBERRY EVERYONE! YOU’LL BE SEEING HER ON YOUR TELEVISIONS SOON!” Dee yelled out and I laughed and pushed her playfully, she was the best hypeman to have since she never let me doubt myself.

“Here, take this tip.” A male voice said behind me and I turned around but not before noticing Deanna’s eyes dilate a little.

“I don’t take money.” I responded before I came face to face with a familiar head of curls and the most adorable chubby cheeks. 

“Jc?” I asked before I could stop myself, I heard Dee facepalm behind me. Awtzzummmm Courtney, totally fucking amazing. Now you look like a fangirl, I mean I am one but shit I didn’t want to seem like one right off the bat! Jc didn’t seem to mind though, he just laughed,

“The one and only in the flesh!” He stated proudly before sticking the 20 dollar bill in my hand, “Take it, you got moves girl. Money gets you far in life, thats 20 bucks closer to a dance studio.”

It is my dream to own a dance studio but I didn’t want it to be by handouts, 

“Jc please just keep it, I don’t want it! I want to make it without handouts! Thats why I came to New York, away from my family to live with Dee.”

“That’s me, hi!” She waved and Jc smiled back at her and waved as well.

“Well you do you, but you are gonna make it far man, do you have a twitter I could follow you on? Just to keep up to date with your dancing and stuff?”

Cue inner panic because my @ name is yummyjian, I don’t have an account thats a personal and not a fangirl! I don’t want him to match my future success with a fangirl account!

“Uh… I-“

“She hasn’t set one up yet but I can give you mine and then I’ll DM you her @ once it’s up!”

Like I said before, she's the best kind of friend to have, thank god for her need for early action and making her personal account months ago.

“Alright cool!” Jc said as he took his phone out of his pocket.
