Fires Collided

⁸⁸

We woke up.I didn't feel like leaving the bed."Can we not leave the bed  today?Please!"He chuckled."You signed us up for five hours of salsa dance classes you idiot!Get out of that bed!"I rolled in the king sized empty bed."NO!NO!NO!Don't force me into this!"He laughed."YOUR FORCED ME INTO THIS!GET THE FUCK UP AND COME TO THE FUCKING DANCE CLASS THAT YOU SIGNED US UP FOR!"He was right.I signed us up for this."Fine.I'll change."I went to the kitchen to get some coffee first.While it was getting ready I watched the egg.I opened the book."Hey.Question.How can I help a siren egg to grow?"He opened up."Normally the egg is inside the mother's womb.But if it is to be outside of the body it dies after a month when all the nutriens finish in the egg itself."I chuckled."It's been out for over thousands of years.How the hell did that happen?"

"It wasn't supposed to!DON'T YELL AT ME!"I scoffed."Whatever.How can I feed it?""Fish or any sea animal that you can put in the egg.But don't crack the egg open."I need a syringe.I looked into the first aid kit box.I found a syringe.Now all I need is sea food.Great.I called the receptionist and asked for room service.I ordered an uncooked fish."Gracias."I took the fish and blended it.That's when Ralph came out."What are you doing?""Blending uncooked fish."When it was done I took it into the syringe.I put the needle on and gave it all into the egg before I put it back in the water."How did you know to do that?"Then the book yelled."WITH MY HELP OF COURSE!"I shut the book and locked it."I am so gonna destroy you one day if you don't SHUT THE FUCK UP!Thanks."I rolled my eyes and turned to Ralph."Go get ready.We have to be there in 20."I scoffed."And you're telling me now?!"I ran inside and changed.

With loose hair I looked great."Let's go.I'm ready too."He laughed."What?"He continued laughing."Only I get to see you this good looking!Go back inside."I rolled my eyes."If it helps..."I went over and kissed him.He relaxed."It does help."He continued kissing me until his grandfather came knocking on our door."Come in."We were on the couch and he was on top of me.I got off the couch and fixed my dress."We should go."Then his grandparents entered the living area."We were about to leave."I grabbed Ralph's hand and dragged him out of our room."You are so paying for this!"

We came down to the dance class and every couple except me and Ralph were between the ages 40-80.Then another couple around our ages came in with a old couple."Hello folks.Did any of you do salsa before?"I raised my hand."Well well well.We have a young couple here!Come on up!"Me and Ralph went forward."Hi."I reached for the woman's hand.Damn she looked good."I look like twenty don't I?No need to flatter me I know I look perfect."The whole class laughed."Rosalind.""Rosa.Great name."I chuckled.Just as I was about to answer the young boy next to her leaned to my ear."Don't try to correct her.She'll just keep doing what she wants."I nodded and he backed away.

"Well let's start shall we?!"They started with the basics.I feel like I just met Lydia Margarita del Carmen Inclán Maribona Leyte-Vidal de Riera.The grandma from the One Day At a Time.But they looked nothing alike."Let's do it with música!"Then she and probably her husband started showing themselves off.Me and Ralph were having our own fun cheering for them."Let's do a little mixing here!Everybody switch partners!"My first partner was Jayden."You two having fun."I chuckled."It's been great so far.I think we'll have fun for the rest too."Then it was time to change partners.Partner after partner it was me and that young boy I didn't know.

"Cesar.""Rose."We danced.While we were dancing I saw smokes coming from my finger."Flamekeeper?"I was shocked that Cesar knew."How did you-"He chuckled."Fire.Assuming your boyfriend is the one who is pissed off?"I chuckled."Fiancé would be a better term."We continued dancing."Well I think I should let you go now seeing that he can and about to beat the shit out of me."I chuckled."Sure."We broke off and I winked."You Cesar are EVIL."He chuckled."And you have mad dancing skills."I turned to Ralph."Does he know that we're engaged?"I nodded."He is also a Fire and he saw the smoke coming out of my ring."He kissed."Sorry.""Hey you're jealous.It's normal.For example.If I paid the attention that you paid to my surroundings then you would be dead.For real.All those soul scars almost killed me but I can guarentee you would be dead.Like now.I am totally ignoring Cesar's older sister checking you out or I might actually kill her but then that could ruin all of my relationships because I'd be in jail."He laughed."Good to know."

"Besides...I can take care of myself.You know that."He nodded.The class finished after five cruel hours.While Ralph was in the bathroom Cesar came up to me."Tonight at 10 pm go down to the basement's restricted area.There is a pay cell.Just pick up the phone and say Diaz."I chuckled."O-Ok.I will.""Oh and come alone."I nodded."Uh...sure weirdo.I'll come alone."Then it hit me.My dragons haven't flew freely for a long time."Can I bring my dragons?"He chuckled."They won't fit.Not even one of them would fit."I chuckled and showed my dragons' pictures."Oh...sure they can.See you tonight.But I would keep them close.Also...dress nicely.And for my own good don't tell your fiancé.I don't want to die yet."I nodded as I chuckled and he left.

Then Ralph came back."You know what?Cesar is a total weirdo."He was confused."What happened?I would love to beat him if you want."I chuckled."Not necessary.Let's go get dinner after some long hot shower because I am exhausted.These heels are killing me!"

After dinner we went back to our room and fed the siren egg along with others.I took my dragons after I changed and I went to the door."Where are you going?Especially like that."I sighed.Nothing was wrong with how I looked.I looked great.

"I think I look nice.Why?"He scoffed."Yeah...it's almost 10pm.So it's late.It's late and you're going out.Going out looking good.Looking too good for your own good.Without me."I sighed.He did have point.A damn good one too."I don't want to lie to you but I can't really tell you either so can you just trust me on this one?"
