The Unexpected Partner (JULY 2021 MULTI-CHAP UPDATE)

Aliana always loved dance.

Latin music, in particular, set her soul and body ablaze with an unabashed fire she never knew how to cool.

Merengue, reggaeton, salsa, you name it; all brimming with a cultural significance she has tried to rediscover due to the absence of her mother in her life who connected her to those things.

But one genre of note had her teetering on the edge of a self-satisfaction she had never known and craved wholeheartedly.

Bachata.

There was nothing like it. Truly.

The sensual, caressing melodies and movement always struck a cord with her, whilst also reminding her of a constant loneliness she had...as well as one she didn't yet understand.

This turned into spending hours at a time trying to emulate her favourite dancers, known professionally as "Ataca Y La Alemana".

And even further, she went in search of her first official dance class, not at all aware of what she was dancing into or who she was dancing towards...

*********************************************

"W-wait a minute! What do you mean I have to take her place?!" Aliana was on the verge of yet another panic attack.

This was not something she thought she had to think about in the near future, let alone the present time.

"Xiomara ruptured her achilles and Danté requested you especially as you've been a rising star in classes for these past few months!" Gloria damn near squealed at the news, whilst Aliana froze at the fact she was personally requested...especially by him.
