Dance with me

Chapter Eighteen - Doubts

Chapter 18

When I got to my dorm, Jake was still there with Mila but at least they weren't naked anymore.

"Hey! What took you so long?" Mila asked me as I entered. She was seated on Jake's lap on the sofa. I would tell her to clean it later.

"I wondered you needed some more time alone..." I answered awkwardly and felt my cheeks blush.

"Oh..." My friend saw my ebarassment and so did her boyfriend. "We've been waiting for you... Jake wanted to talk to you." She said and got up.

What did he want to talk to me that he couldn't wait to tell me tomorrow?

"And what is it about?" I asked curious since he didn't say anything.

"I've been having this crazy idea for some time now..." He started saying and I raised a brow trying to figure out what it would be but came out with nothing.

"I think it's a great idea." Mila said enthusiastically and I was getting more and more curious.

"Say it already." I'm a very patient person but I'm also the most curious one and I hate when I'm the only one not to know about something.

"Okay. So listen..." Jake started again and crossed his arms against his chest. "I think we should do a special number to the new year's show." He said with one breath and my chin almost fell to the ground. Usually, and with that I mean ALWAYS, only students in the last year of school were able to make special appearances in the show.

"The problem you're missing is: how?" I reasoned. I haven't swallowed the information yet.

"Actually, I have this figured out already." He said now relaxing his shoulders and grinning. I must have had a questioning look on my face because he didn't expect me to ask how and just answered. "I talked to Peter Johnson and... He said that you, Mila, Brianna, Avery and I can perform with him." Now I was most definetely not hearing well.

"But the company ..." I started saying but didn't finish. The dancers of the company were the ones who were going to make the number with Noah...

"The guy isn't playing only one song... He is planning on releasing a new song in the show, actually." Now I was surprised. A question popped in my head: was that the song I heard him playing earlier?

Then another question appeared.

"Why would he like the idea of having us dancing with him?" I asked. Then Mila let a " D'OH " escape from her mouth and I launched her a warning look.

"We offered. He needs dancers. He obviously likes you... I guess that explain." Jake said and Mila nodded.

Wha did he mean by 'he obviously likes you'? For a moment I wondered if Mila have told him.

"Likes me?" I asked to make sure.

"Sure. He always compliments you when you're dancing." He said as if that was obvious. I almost sighed in relief with his answer. I didn't want anyone else to know.

"You're the bestest!" Mila mocked me.

"Bestest is a word now, huh?" I teased her and she laughed nodding.

"So what do you say?" Jake asked unsure of what I was going to answer.

I must say I myself wasn't sure so I took a moment to think before answering.

I would love to dance in the show, specially if it was going to be a special performance. But I was a little afraid of what it could be. A part of this fear was related to the fact that Noah was going to be involved but then, I was already doing my project with him and we were doing fine with each other.
