*The Next Day*
"Come on Fatima! Let us take a break," AJ whined from the back.
"Fine!" Fatima shouted and stormed out of the studio. We all kinda stood around and looked at each other.
"Nice going AJ," Lupe commented walking over to her gym bag.
"Hey! Im not the only one who is tired here," AJ defended himself.
"Yeah, well you're the only one who is complaining," Rosa snapped and walked over to her gym bag.
I ignored the arguing and layed down on the cool wood floor of the studio and closed my eyes.
"Hey Micki," Howie said coming up to me and sitting down next to me.
"Hey Howie, what's up?" I asked opening my eyes.
"Not much," he sighed.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing, Heather and I have been fighting a lot lately," he told me.
Ok, this was weird, he was telling me about his problems.
"No offense, but I can tell," I commented.
"Yeah, she's just jealous," Howie told me.
"Of what?" I asked.
"You," he answered.
"Why me?" I asked.
"Because you got the part she wanted," he told me.
"Oh well. Shit happens," I said closing my eyes.
"She doesnt understand that," Howie informed me.
"You know Howie. She seems really rude in general, I dont think she's only bitter because of her not getting this job," I said.
"Yeah, I know. She gets really jealous," Howie told me.
"Hey D!" AJ shouted.
"What?" Howie asked turning around.
"Come on, we're going to watch the girls practice," AJ announced walking towards the stereo.
"Ok," he said getting up. I got up after him and us girls took our places. All the back up dancers were watching us. They already had the dance down, considering the fact, they've been practicing a good 3 weeks before us.
We all danced and by the end of the night, and still no return of Fatima, we got the dance down, with help from the back up dancers. Four dances in 2 days, that's very good.
As we were all packing up, Fatima walked into the studio.
"You guys are still here?" she asked.
"Yeah, the back-up dancers helped us out and we've got it down," I told her.
"Can I see it?" she asked.
"Sure," we all agreed. I looked at Howie and smiled.
"Ok, let's go," AJ announced. We all got with our respected partners and Howie and I stood incredibly close. I felt my heart skip a beat as I felt him warm breath on my neck. Oh my G-D, he was turning me on. Why didnt I feel this earlier when we were dancing.
Everyone started dancing and as us girls were ending it, the guys stood in front of us, finishing their dance moves, all with their legs spread. We all slid, the guys jumped as we came under them and we landed kneeling down in front of the guys. It was an awesome move, better seen than said.
"That was great you guys," Fatima congragulated.
"Thanks," we all grinned proudly.
We all walked back into the locker room, everyone wanting to take a shower here. I took an exceptionally long shower and when I got out changed into a pair of tight khaki cargo pants that were bootleg and a tight white baby tee. When I walked out of the locker room, Howie was walking out of the men's.
"Hello," I smiled.
"Hey," he smiled.
"Guess we're the last one's to leave," I shrugged.
"I guess so," he grinned.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow Howie," I said as we walked out into the parking lot.
Howie had walked me to my car, which was really sweet. His car was parked right next to mine.
"Good night Howie," I said looking at him. Howie leaned down and kissed my lips softly. I looked at him stunned. He had a girlfriend. Even though I couldnt stand her, that wasnt right.
"I gotta go," I said getting into my car and quickly driving away. Please dont let this be happening, the last thing I want to do is ruin a relationship.
