Going Home Chapter 6 I woke up the next morning to the sounds of someone rustling through my room. "Hey, what’s going on?" I asked, sitting up in bed and rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Sorry," came Kim’s voice. "I’m just looking for your Nike’s. Nick’s taking me to Disney World today." I was fully awake now. "That’s cool. OK, now spill it. What happened last night? Kevin said that you were spending the night at Nicky’s. So..." "So what? Nothing happened. I fell asleep like 5 minutes after we got there. What happened with you? Did you meet the guys?" Kim asked me. "Yeah, I met them. They were great, so nice. Cute too, really cute. Justin really wanted to meet you. He’s girl hunting," I replied, laughing. "Hunting? Well, I hope you told him I was already taken...I think! So what are your plans for the day?" Kim asked. I took a look at the clock. "Shit! Lance is gonna be here to pick me up in 15 minutes. I’m going with him to rehearsal and then we’re going shopping. I gotta go. Have fun today, Kim!" With that I jumped out of bed and ran into the shower. True to his word, Lance was ringing the doorbell 15 minutes later. I had to run downstairs to get the door because Kevin and Katie were out doing some last minute stuff for the wedding. "Hi," I said, still towel drying my hair. "Hey Erika," Lance replied and kissed me softly. I pulled away and smiled. "What a way to start the day! I’ll be ready in a minute. I’m so sorry but I woke up late this morning." Lance smiled back at me. "No problem. I’ll just go wait in the car." 20 minutes later, Lance and I were pulling into the parking lot of the rehearsal space. He took my hand and led me into the building where we were greeted by the four other guys. "Morning Erika, morning Lance," J.C. said. "Lansten, ready to reherse?" "Yeah, let’s go!" Lance squeezed my hand then followed the rest of the group. An hour into their run through J.C was having a heart attack. "Come on, Lance! Why can’t you get this sequence?" "Man, relax! I’m sorry! You know I have trouble with this stuff," he said apologetically. I stood up from my seat in the auditorium. "Wait a minute, you guys. Let me give it a try." I ran up to the stage and stood next to Justin. "Can you count it out and show me the steps again?" "Sure," Justin said, and counted out, "5, 6, 7, 8." I watched Justin out of the corned of my eye and easily matched him, step for step. We finished the sequence and he looked at me. "Damn, girl! Where did you learn to do that?" Justin asked. "Over 10 years of dance lessons!" I replied, smiling. Lance just kept shaking his head. "How can you people do that?" I walked over to him, laughing. "It’s not that hard. Here, I’ll help," I said. I stood in front of him and placed my hands gently in his hips. The music pulsed out of the speakers. "5, 6, 7, 8," I counted out. In time with the beat, I guided Lance through the steps. The two finished the sequence and the music stopped, but my hands remianed on his hips. We just starred at each other for a long moment, then Lance bent his head to mine. Our lips met in such a passionate kiss that we forgot all about the other four men in the room. My hands slid up his chest and around his neck while he placed his arms around my waist. I parted my lips to his probing tongue and allowed him to explore my mouth. The kiss was absolutely wonderful and I feltmyself drowning in it. The four other men just stood there, watching this scene unfold before them. They were all thrilled that Lance was finally getting some action. It had been a long time since his last girlfriend and that hadn’t ended all that well. Justin elbowed J.C. and they smiled at each other. Chris cleared his throat, hoping to break the couple apart. That didn’t work. "Uh, Lance? Erika?" Hearing my name, I reluctantly pulled away from Lance. For a minute we just stood looking at each other. I finally managed to pull myself out of his arms. What will power that took! "There, that should help some," I replied, returning to my seat. Meanwhile at the Magic Kingdom...Next: Chapter 7 |
