Corey eventually caught up with Brennan as they headed down to the main lobby area where there was a small cafe. They both grabbed coffee and a sandwich each and ate and drank. Corey kept talking about the mysterious girl Brennan was obsessing over and Brennan just rolled his eyes and listened.
Paris and Madylin walked out of the room a short while later and walked to the elevator. They rode it down and arrived in the lobby.
“Look who’s here Paris” Madylin said nodding towards the two boys in the lobby. “Fan freaking tastic Mads. I don’t need you doing this right now. I’m already trying to prepare myself for the embarrassment during salsa” Paris said face palming.
“There they are, her friends cute. Maybe I’ll talk to her.” Corey said, grinning. Brennan rolled his eyes.
“Sure, go ahead.” He replied, looking over at them again for a moment before turning his gaze to his cup.
Both boys were looking now and Paris felt herself getting nervous. Why was she nervous? There was nothing to be nervous about.
Madylin slipped her arm in Paris’ fully aware of her being nervous.
Paris was handful for her best friend and relaxed a little but was still very nervous for most likely no reason.
“Come on, let’s go find the salsa place or wherever.” Corey said standing up and walking out, Brennan reluctantly followed.
Paris and Madylin go outside and decide to walk the beach before they head to the salsa class.
“I hope I get paired with someone cute!” Madylin said excitedly.
“I hope I never have to do this again” Paris responded.
“Awe girl don’t be like that”
“Too late”
“Come on lets just go before we’re late” Madylin said and dragged Paris up to where the salsa class was being held and they stood in the large circle with everyone else.
Corey and Brennan stood opposite the girls, Brennan trying not to make eye contact with one of them. After the instructor explained how. Everything was going to work, it was time to make pairs.
“Alright, walk into the centre and whoever is opposite you is your partner.” She said. Brennan and Corey walked in with the others and as it turned out, were partnered with the girls.
“Madylin look who we’re partnered with” Paris said, nervously.
“ Girl your going to be fine. Just focus on the steps, don’t step on his feet and keep that pretty smile on your face.” Madylin said walking up to Corey, a smile on her face. “Hi I’m Madylin, I guess we’re partners.”
Paris took a shaky breath, and relaxed a little. youll be fine. Just focus. And smile she thought and looked up at Brennan with a smile.
“Hi there, sorry if I step on your feet during this, I’m not the best dancer.” Brennan said, giving the girl a smile, “I’m Brennan, and you are?”
“Join the club Brennan” she said with a laugh, “I’m Paris”
“Nice to meet you.” He replied right before the instructor started giving the class instructions
“You too” She said turning to the instructor. He and his assistant showed everyone a few simple steps for the pairs to practice. Then they’d put it all together and then with music. “And then the hard steps. For now practice those steps” the instructor finished.
“Guess we should uh dance now” Paris said nervously.
Brennan laughed a little and held out his hand, “Yup.”
Paris took his hand and put the other on his shoulder. She let Brennan lead, since the male always leads in almost every dance.
“And, one two three…” The instructor began, Brennan lead the dance, slowly getting the hang of the dance.
“Look At us! We’re naturals!” Paris said as the two danced, getting pretty good.
“And I thought I’d suck.” Brennan laughed a bit as he spun Paris out and back in.
“Me too!” She joined the laughter as she was spun around.
“Guess today is full of surprises.” Brennan grinned and the music came to a stop and so did they. He was breathing harder from al the dancing, “That wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.”
“I guess it is” she said, not breathing hard at all.
“Clearly you’re fitter then me. Or you’ve danced before, which ever.” Brennan said, retuning his breathing to normal
“Ballet dancer. I’ve been a ballerina since I was like 3” she said with a shrug.
“See! What did I say, you’re a natural.” He replied, grinning at Paris.
“Salsa and ballet are 2 very different styles of dance” She said faking a hurt tone. “But I guess you wouldn’t know, your obviously not the best dancer”
Brennan gasped over dramatically, “I never new such a kind lady like yourself could say something so hurtful! I knows loads about dance.”
