"Your wish is my command my lady"
He slighted bowed extending his arms towards me
"I just realized something
The time we spent the other night was mostly about me
I am so sorry about that
Who knew tipsy me was a bit of a conversation hoarder"
I said slowly walking my in as we walked down to the center of the floor
"It is not a problem at all
I enjoy listening to things from a different point of view and you definitely had a lot you wanted to get of your chest
I was lucky to person to listen"
He said drawing me in closer, gently placing his left hand behind my back
"Yeah sure I totally get that....:"
I stuttered shaking of the shiver I felt when he placed his hand on my back and trying to stay focused on the task ahead
"But still I feel really bad that I didnt get to also see things from your point of view
So tell me bit about you?"
I finally asked the golden question hoping he would take the bait and fall for it
"What do you want to know?"
He asked and that was when I realized we were already dancing which was very surprising to me because I happened to be a very bad, the two left toes types so the fact that he wasn't already leaping on one feet came to me as a very big surprise
"Anything really
Today is all about you
Kinda of like your birthday"
I said with a little smile on my face still very cautious of the fact that I was dancing
"Where do I start from?
You already know the basics so there is no need for us to go back to that
You can always find the rest on Google
So I guess I am just tell some random fact most people especially Google doesn't know about me
You know that once I tell you this you are part of the inner circle"
He said with a serious look
"I promise to keep your secret
I pinky promise"
I said joining my left pinky with his right
"That is seems fair
I am an excellent dancer and was a dance instructor for a while
That was a long time ago
But I sure do miss the good old days
Everything was simple and easy"
He said reminiscing on the past
"I can see that
As I am yet to step on any of your toes which in my book is a miracle?
But how come people don't know about that?"
I asked hoping to beat him at his game and find a way for him to spill some personal information, since I haven't yet been able to see the message I got from Xain and I was completely in the dark
"You mentioned something about you been a bad dancer but from what I can see you are not as bad as you think
You have a good rhythm and you seem well balanced
Only very few people are actually bad dancer while the rest are mostly just stuck in their own head
Dancing is all about letting go of your consciousness and allowing your body to take over
All you have to is let go and let your body take over"
He said then took a different hit slowly spinning me around before guiding me back to his side
"Hey!
Give me a little heads up next time
You can't just go around spinning people what if I had slipped from your hands or even worse jammed into someone else"
I gasped out loud a little in shock
"You do not come to dance floor with a planned choreography
You let the music lead you besides if I had told you would have been too much in your head to enjoy the energy flow
Let Go"
He was almost beginning to sound a lot like the song let it go from frozen
"I am sure that every dancer who have been in a competition or even in a group will completely disagree with you right now
Practice makes perfect
Why will anyone agree to dance in front of a crowd without even a little practice?
It is like going to a meeting unprepared and that is so not me
I work best when I am I well prepared so that that way I can have a little control on the outcome
I suck at letting go"
I said
"Dancing is a lot different from a business meeting, it a medium for you let go and connect with inner self
Relax your body, soul and...."
"You are beginning to sound more like a yoga instructor and less like a dance instructor
You still haven't told me how you became so good at dancing?"
I asked bringing it back to him
"My mom is kind of a free bird and I love and admire that about her
She has opened more business than I can count
So when I was really young she had a really cozy dance studio where I spent most of my childhood
She had the best snack bar back then that made every kid what to sign up and before I knew it I had mastered the entire dance moves,It all just came naturally to me and the next thing I know I was teaching a bunch of kid how to dance"
He said as we came to end of song
"Wow
You must been part of the cool kids back then you know been an instructor and all but how exactly did it happen and how did their parent not complain?"
I asked wondering how the parents were fine with paying for a class been taught by a kid
"96% of the class was my brother's classmate so that made me their senior and most of the kids mom were friends with my mom so they had no issue with it and I was really good back then, my mom was almost tempted to send me to one of those prestigious Art school in the city"
He said just as a new song started playing
"Do you ever imagine what your life will be like right now if you actually went down that part?
I don't think I can picture you in a yoga pant"
I said trying to picture him not in his signature suit
"I do every now and then but I have no regret
I love where I am right now in life and I am also great at what I do"
He said taking me for another spin
"Seriously!
The third time might not end well for either of us"
I said out of breath still finding my balance
"I will keep that in mind and I am also a co-owner of a dance studio
I go there every now and then to release work stress and I also give Aliya and Asha dance lessons"
He said in a way that felt like I was supposed to know who they were but as you can guess I was completely and totally lost
I kinda guessed he has a younger brother but I wasn't too sure about sisters
"Aliya and Asha...."
I nodded my head repeating after him waiting to see if he would try explaining any further
"My nieces
I thought I mentioned them the other night but I guessed I...
"Of course you did
My bad your sweet little cousin
You did mention them the other night
If you don't mind me asking
How exactly does the co-ownership work?"
I asked him hoping to change the topic
"I don't mind at all
I am a silent partner in the business
The other owner is a very close friend of mine so he is the one that handles and maintains all the activities of the studio"
I added that he has two nieces to the list but I still wasn't enough, in a way it actually even made things a lot more confusing for me so I mustered up a big smile and turned to face him
"You have a secret dance studio and you are talented dancer
Not bad at all
Tell me more"
I moved closer to him slurty whispering the last part in his ears hoping to rattle and get a little reaction from him but I got absolutely nothing
"Someone seems unimpressed
We have to change that
It really hard to think of anything that hasn't been published by the press
Let's see...
I am an amazing baker
My mom also had a pastry café when I was in middle school but I barely have time to enter the kitchen these days
Then I always have my very own 3rd of July incident
Mine was on October 1st but that very secret is following me the grave
Sorry darling"
He said taking me for the another spin as we came to end of the song
"Still got it"
He gently guided me back to his hands with a big smile on his face
"Whatever
Back to the 3rd of July incident you know mine
You can't just leave it like that you have to tell me more
Is your better or worse than mine?"
I asked trying to prying to out any piece of information from him
"People are beginning to stare"
He said making me suddenly realized that we were the only couple still on the dance floor and became very conscious and uncomfortable but he seemed totally unfazed
"What do we do?"
I asked staring deeply into his eyes to try avoiding the stares we were getting from almost everyone
"We can keep dancing or....."
Keep dancing to what?
There is no music playing and please don't give any of your yoga mantle about the music coming from within us"
I said getting more and more uncomfortable with our current position
"You are making me sound like an old man"
he said looking surprised
"Then stop talking like one then"
I said completely and totally lost in his golden brown eyes
"There is nothing old about me darling
We are definitely going back to that but for now
Look around"
"Ehn...."
I said trying to get out of those damn gorgeous eyes
"Darling look around you"
He said for the second time and only then did I figure out what he meant
Talking a deep breath I slowly removed my gaze from his eyes to see that we had somehow made it back our table
"Oh My God!!!
What?.....
How?..."
I said sturttering in shock of what had just happened
"All I had to do was piss you off a bit to distract you from noticing as we danced slowly back to our table
Works like a charm everytime "
He said, explaining it to me but I was still very confused but even more surprised that it worked
"But how did you know it was going to work
I mean I know I did not notice it but I could have gotten distracted by anything along the way and noticed we were moving and that would have made matters worse
What would you have done then?"
I knew at this point I was totally rambling off but I was still shocked as to how he could take such a big risk
"Hey
Slow your horse down for a minute
I had no idea if it was going to work but I had to do something and it worked and even if it you did find out half way I am still sure we would have found a way through"
He said with a reassuring smile on his face
"You most really love taking big risk"
I said seeing how he handled everything with control and didn't even break a sweat while doing it
"You have no idea"
He answered with cocky grin
"I am sure you have a lot stories to back that look on your face but don't think for a second I have forgotten about the 1st of October incident
So tell me is it worse or better than mine...?"
