Rhythm: Part 12 (Sero)

I stood next to Sero drinking from a water bottle as I was still trying to catch my breath from running. Sero was using a pamphlet to fan me while we waited to get called up onto the stage.

"Y/n." Sero said and I looked at him. "Thank you for coming." He had been saying it every couple of seconds after we walked out of the dressing room.

"I'm sorry for . . . . ." I started saying and tried thinking of what I was going to apologize about first. "All of it. There's way too much for me to go through it. Unless you really want me too, in which case it'll have to wait until later."

"No, you don't have to apologize to me." He told me. "You don't have to apologize to my family either."

"You're family hates me right now." I said, thinking back to their faces when I had first walked in.

"Yeah." He said and nodded. "But, there's reason behind all of what you did."

"Not a very good reason." I said.

"My dear is that you?" I heard from behind me. I turned and watched as Tony and his dance partner walked off the stage and back behind the curtain to us. "What are you doing here? Especially dressed like that?"

"She's my dance partner." Sero said and pulled me close to him. "And I know the truth Tony, so go fuck yourself."

"Now, now, remember: my father is only one call away." Tony said as he waved his phone back and forth. I snatched his phone out of his hand, and dropped it on the ground before digging my heel into the screen and crushing it. "What the-." I grabbed ahold of his chin just like he did to me yesterday, but I didn't grab him as hard.

"Try calling Daddy now." I told him and kissed his cheek, leaving a big bright red kiss mark on his cheek. I smiled to him before I pulled Sero over closer to the curtain.

"I can see why my brother thought it was hot when you threw him to the ground." Sero told me, and wrapped his arm around my waist. I laughed with him as a man stepped up onto the stage with a microphone.

"And now, it's time for Hanta Sero and his dance partner y/n l/n!" The man said and Sero walked me out from behind the curtain. As we stepped out I could see passed the bright lights, there were dozens of families. And the one family that was there to root us on, hated my guts.

"Deep breath mi amor." Sero whispered to me as he stood just behind me, and wrapped his fingers around my waist.

I did as he told me, and let it out slow.

The music started when I threw my arm up to start the dance I was thrown off a bit. This wasn't the right song. 'Senorita' started playing, instead of the other song that I didn't know how to pronounce properly. Sero ran his fingers up my arm that was in the air.

"This isn't the right song." I whispered to him.

"I changed it." He whispered in my ear. "I think this suits us better."

Sero then grabbed my hand in the air and spun me around in the circle, as the girl in the song started singing. He stopped me from spinning further by placing his hand in my hips. We started swaying out hips and moving our feet.

I was so nervous, I've never danced in front of people like this before. I was so nervous that I would screw up, and if I did that would take away points.

"Relax mi amor." Sero told me and spun me in around. That spin wasn't part of the routine.

"Sero." I whispered.

"Just dance with me." He told me. And the look in his eye told me everything. He didn't care about the competition anymore. He just wanted to dance with me.

I smiled and I felt my body relax as I spun him around, and took the lead on the dance. When I pulled him into me, and I wrapped my arms around his waist and we stood still for just a moment before we really started dancing.

And it was like everything in the world was silenced. All that was there was me, him, and the sound of music between us. Sero looked straight down at me, and smiled as I ran my hands all over his back pulling him closer to me as we stepped around the stage like it was endless.

Sero took the lead again spinning me around in multiple circles, as he moved me around his body. And by the time I stopped, my hair had fallen out of its bun and surrounded me as I came to a stop. Sero's hands went back to my hips, and let him move my body the way he wanted to.

We side stepped across the stage, spinning in countless circles together. Sero spun me around once, and I took control again. With my hands on his chest I pushed away from me, and he backed up until we were only dancing holding hands. Our finger tips were the only thing keeping us together.

We side stepped back and forth across the stage again, and I pulled him back into me. Our bodies collided, and we both froze in place as I let Sero take control again. His hands traveled up my arms until he cupped the side of my face with one of his hands and he quickly grabbed my hand in the other and we danced again as I held his hand to my face.

He used his hand that was on my face, to spin me around. The feeling of his touch never leaving my neck as I ducked under his arm. And when I stopped spinning, he pulled me in with his hand around my throat, until I had to look straight up to look him in the eye.

It was the same look I wanted more of in the club.

And I tucked my arms behind my back, wrist to wrist. We swayed slightly side to side the only thing connecting us was Sero's hand around my throat a we slowly stepped around in a circle. Until I pushed him away from me, and he fell onto his back.

He looked up at me with a wide smile on his face as I stood in place and used my finger to tell him to come to me. He crawled on his hands and knees for a moment until he was close enough to touch me and pull me to him.

He was down on his knees, and crawled up my body as I swayed my hips to the beat. His hands gripping and grazing the sides of my body, and he was so close to me I could feel his breathing through my clothing. As he came up my body I ran my fingers into his hair and we slowed down as the song did the same. And we just side stepped and did the simple steps of Bachata together until the song finished.
