16Chapter 19
Andrea's POV
"But why can't you do it as a little favour to me. Please, pretty please. It's just a measly dance and you rock the stage. Do it for me."
"I can't, I'm going out of town. I have plans. Sorry Andy, but my mom made them so I can't do anything about it. I am really sorry. Catch you around."
Another person down. I'm so bad at this and here I thought I was good. So far I have managed to convince just two people. One is Tanya and other is Alan, one of Jake's friends. That's it. We need one more girl and one more guy. Fuck dude!
xoxoxo
"Okay everyone, I convinced two people. So now we have, Michael and Natalie, Jake and Sophie, Tanya, Alan. We still need two more people." I said as I entered the dance practice room.
Jake stood up as I entered, "hmm, hey I can convince a friend of mine. So now we need one more girl. Know anyone?"
"Well" I said "another girl, Sophie, what about that friend of yours, Sandy, Sammy something."
"Sally." Sophie replied.
"Right Sally, sorry. So, you think she'll do it?"
"Nah, I don't think so. She's kind of shy, doesn't like the stage."
"Then, who else?" I was thinking other possibilities when suddenly Nat shouted,
"Yes, I found her!"
"Found who Nat?"I asked her.
"The last dancer." she replied, her eyes twinkling. They had a mischievous glint in them. This cannot be good, poor girl.
"And who is that?" asked Jake.
"Andy!"
"Yes? Tell us, who?"
"You! Idiot. Andy will be perfect."she turned to the rest of them. "She's a good dancer and we don't have any other choice, so Andy will do it!"
"No, no. Not happening. I'm not dancing. I don't dance,"
"Yes you do. It's all fixed now. You're our fourth dancer. Yippee, it's going to be so much fun."
"When did you become a cheerleader?" I said under my breath. "Nat no, this won't work."
"Come on Andy, please. Do it for me." Said Jake, bastard. He was taking revenge from me. Karma.
So, now I'm dancing. Thanks to Natalie. She's an angel. Not. I can dance, I'm not denying it but I dance for fun not for display! Why should I dance to entertain people?
xoxoxo
So as Natalie had declared, I was the fourth dancer and my partner was Jake's friend, who was absent from the practice session. He probably will be available tomorrow. Right now, we were deciding on the songs. So far we had no idea what was going to happen. We did have a couple of options but none were decided yet.
Basically we were having fun, doing all weird movements and laughing our asses off. Beth was with us too, because we couldn't have left her out of the fun. And Rafael was here too, whom I was trying 'very unsuccessfully' to ignore. Not an easy task, believe me. When the said person keeps staring at you and every time you have an eye contact, gives you tiny smiles. Weird.
Beth and I were doing the rock star, guitar playing, hair swinging thing and shouting at the top of our lungs to 'I'm not okay by My Chemical Romance'. Through the last verse we had everyone on their feet, jumping and dancing. I was laughing like mad and someone bumped into me and I turned to look at Rafael, who was smiling. His eyes were shining and he was practically glowing. The carefree smile threw me off completely. He looked so beautiful, rendered me speechless!Before I could even process it, the music changed to a slow number. Rafael's arm went around my waist, and the other was holding my hand rested lightly on his chest. My heart started beating faster and I wondered if he could hear it. But then the song registered, it was 'I'll be by Edwin McCain'. Ohmigod.
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide,
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life…
He was singing it, and my eyes were transfixed on him as were his on me. Suddenly his hand on my waist left me to grab my hand on his chest, and I looked at him confused. He smiled and twirled me around. Then he spun me out then back to him. Now my back was to him, both his arms around my waist. An involuntary shiver went up my spine when his chest touched my back. Then he turned me around, held both my hands and swayed, in out in out, twirl, twirl and then a perfect spin to a dip. WOW.
We stood like that for I don't know how long, looking into each other's eyes, breathing hard. Then we jumped because clapping started. Everyone was staring at us, and in awe at him. It's all in the lead, and he's an awesome lead. I was blushing now because it finally registered in my brain that what had happened.
And then Natalie went ,"that was freaking awesome. You so have to teach us Rafe. You're a star and now you are going to dance with us. Jake, tell that friend of yours we do not need him anymore, Rafael is going to be Andy's partner."
What does she think she is doing? Rafael and me partner's is a recipe for disaster. Does she want me to get in a hospital! I mean, if I dance with him, my heart will be in a permanent overdrive which may lead to a heart attack. And the number of people getting heart attacks between the ages of 20-40 years is already increasing. I wonder why? It's not because of the stress in their lives, believe me. But because of these situations which affect their heart rate drastically! I'm going to die…
AN: somethins finally happenin! Wel this was just andrea's POV. Rafael's would be next chapter. R & R.
