Sophia took a deep breath feeling her feet stiff as she walked towards the centre of the stage, where Jay and Jamie had already laced themselves in position, ignoring all the eyes of the crow and the cheers that had overwhelmed her. She was not someone that was used to performing nor getting this much attention, after all, so for her, this was something she found pressuring but once she took her spot too in between the two guys, she felt a bit secure for she wasn't standing up there alone on the mercy of their judgment.
The opposing team had finished their turn and now the crowd was already hyped and had high expectations. Their cheers felt like battle roars to her and once she made the mistake to lift her eyes from the floor and face the eyes of the many people around her, she felt like her breath got stuck in her throat momentarily. Thank god no one was gonna ask her to speak for even if they did, no sounds would escape her lips.
Sophia's attention got taken away from the crowd as she suddenly felt a hand holding hers and that hand belonged to none other than Jay that had briefly left his position to encourage her with his subtle action, for he knew her well and as such guessed right the nervous state she must be in. As she felt his warmth she found her heartbeat slowly calming down, and a smile reached at her face right before Jay let go of her and returned to his position.
Jamie signalled the DJ to start the music and the lights went down soon enough, leaving only the main ones that were illuminating them on the small stage.
After the first beats of the music, Jamie started moving first, waving his body to the beat masterfully and making everyone speechless. His movements were as bold and intriguing as the Latin music that was playing but there was also something about his aura that changed instantly once that sound reached his ears. His warm friendly smile and soft eyes had transformed to a dynamic and attractive gaze that made him look like another human being, a side that Sophia has not seen until now.
With the perfection of his little solo, Jamie spun his way to Sophia, where he passed his hand around her waist and invited her in a body roll as his eyes were locked on hers and his tongue travelled his lips, portraying perfectly the passion the music was speaking of.
Sophia's mind had literally gotten empty of thought at that moment for she was supposed to go with the flow but she had no idea what choreography or freestyles those two were going to pull. She had to at least appear like she was into this facially and show no weird expressions however that sure was proving difficult for they were not letting her any time to collect her expression and surprise. Before she even knew it, a hand took hold of her wrist and turned her and pulled her away from Jamie's body which stood motionless following the choreography they had discussed with Jay, the so-called 'Conquest'.
Now Sophia found herself in the arms of Jay who was looking at her intensely, before he dropped his body simultaneously with the rhythm, making a split from which he slowly started getting himself up while caressing Sophia's legs gently as he went up and finally brought himself to meet her shocked eyes.
Sophia's heart felt almost ready to burst out of her chest as this dance was much more than she could handle.
Jay took a step away from her, starting his little solo. His body was facing forward the crowd but he turned his head to Sophia who was left to look at him speechless.
At the end of his solo, Jay slowly made his way back to her simultaneously with Jamie that just like him, carried an expression of desire for her in his face. Jay was on her left side and Jamie on her right, making her look torn as Sophia looked from one to the other, serving the theme of their choreography.
Both of them now ended up with their bodies glued to Sophia, Jamie bringing his hand slowly to caress her neck and halting it in a choking manner while Jay's hand travelled from her belly to the middle of her chest, where it stopped along with the music.
Everyone started screaming and applauding once the lights switched on, their heavy breathing getting lost among the many voices that filled them with enthusiasm and adrenaline. Smiles spread on their faces as they pulled away, considering that their victory was obvious as the enthusiasm of the population was the only judge.
Sophia felt overwhelmed as she watched the hyped people cheering at them but once they started coming towards them chaotically, she felt instant fear that made her hold her breath as she soon found herself lost among people. However, she was not the only one as Jamie found himself surrounded by girls that were literally getting all over him and Jay ended up in a similar situation for the love and enthusiasm of the crowd seemed too much for him to control.
The whole situation and chaos made Sophia feel bothered and suffocating so she decided to leave but after a few steps which she took, pushing some people to make way for herself to escape, a hand took hold of her arm and pulled her along, in a direction that was unknown to her.
However, she did not panic as she noticed that it was Jay's hand that had gotten a hold of her and after the two made their way into a less crowded corner of the club, Jay looked into Sophia's eyes happily before he dared to enthusiastically lift her body in his embrace and spin her round and round while shouting for her to hear him. "We won! My love, we won !!"
Sophia found his actions silly but she couldn't help start laughing out of the joy of their victory, and as the excitement overwhelmed her, she grabbed Jay's face that was still carrying her and left her lips to fall on his, initiating a passionate kiss that had him lose his mind.
After she pulled away Jay put her down and despite how unexpected her action was for him, he didn't hesitate to take advantage of her mistake and pull her in for another penetrating kiss which intoxicated him so sweetly.
----meanwhile----
Lisa had turned her back on Shiro and was looking at the wall in front of her that had nothing interesting on it but it certainly was better than watching his annoying face and getting scolded by the guards to get quiet again, for they had been arguing from the moment they got in that cell and every time they were to look at each other, the urge to start a fight kept taking the best of them both, forcing one of the guards to basically obligate her to look at that plain boring wall.
She was doing just fine in her task, comforting herself that time will pass quickly and tomorrow wasn't far however a weird sound started reaching her ears, tempting her to look behind her out of curiosity. Thing that once she did, she found herself flying off the seat she had taken on the cold floor.
"Hey, where did you find food?" She asked him as she witnessed Shiro with a sandwich at hand and some other hamburgers placed in a paper bag in front of him.
"They took a liking in me and brought me some. You have an issue?." Shiro replied to her right before he looked towards the female guard that was standing at her chair and gave her a small smile accompanied by a little wink.
"I can't believe you? You are flirting with the policewoman, you shameless rat! Let me remind you that you have a girlfriend." Lisa scolded him as she stared at him angrily for he sure had some guts behaving like that in front of her while earlier he was accusing her of sucking up to people and calling her shameless.
"In difficult times, you have to make bold moves." He nonchalantly uttered before he took a bite from his sandwich and proceeded to chew it rather slowly and loudly, just to get on her nerves.
Lisa's eyes just stood fire towards him as she really wanted to eat because she was hungry but no matter how hungry she was, asking him for food did not leave a good taste in her mouth.
"Guardian, can you come for a minute, please?" Lisa called on the second guard who was a man and she waited for him to approach her cell, with no innocent intentions in mind.
"If he did it, I can do it too. Think of the food, the delicious food."
Lisa encouraged herself inwardly while watching the guard approaching with a perplexed look on his face.
"My dear policeman can you do me a favour by bringing me something to eat." She gathered the best imitation of a sweet charming girl she could manage to pull off as she run her hands through the gaps of the railings and took hold of his necktie, which she used to slowly pull the guard's face closer to hers.
"I will make it up to you once I am out of here. Such a cute and handsome face like you wouldn't let a poor girl hungry, right my dear guardian?" She continued her little seductive attempt as she started playing with the tie and lowered her words in a whispering tone, that basically had the man paying close attention to her lips.
The guard was about to succumb to her request but his eyes suddenly caught sight of Shiro who was looking at him with a murderous look that froze the blood on the man. Shiro looked him dead in the eyes as he brought his hand to travel along his own throat, leaving him a signal that he was gonna cut his throat open if he wasn't gonna step away from her, right then and there.
The power of his frightening gaze, had the police guard take a step distance and retrieve his tie from Lisa's hold, for, despite the fact that that guy was behind bars, Shiro had still managed to make him feel intimidated and just in case, the guard decided that it would be better for him to not get in trouble.
"I'm sorry miss but there are rules in here that can't be bend for, anyone," The man cleared his throat and told her right before he quickly turned around and walked away.
"What rules, he eats like a pig here while I'm starving" Lisa complained loudly but she was ignored, making her shake a bit the bars in frustration before she turned her back and returned to facing her plain wall.
"Just ask me to give you some, kindly and I will give it to you." He uttered and once she looked over her shoulder at him, Shiro shook the sandwich to entice her.
She took a moment arguing inwardly with her own pride and ego but her hunger seemed to have been winning the fight, as before she even got to conclude in her head, words started rolling off her lips.
"Ple-...Please! Give me a little too." Lisa pushed herself to say those words, as a feeling of regret instantly poisoned her senses upon hearing herself. "How low can one fall for a little food." She thought to herself as she was waiting for him to say something back.
"Um... I do not want to." Shiro flashed her a smile, contentedly enjoying her suffering, thing that made Lisa explode and rush to him.
"Give it to me!!" She yelled at him with a rather threatening tone of voice.
"Over my dead body!" He replied as he matched her intensity and in a blink of an eye, the two found themselves fighting over that bag of food while rolling on the floor, the one trying to keep the other away from that bag.
"Lady guard, help, she's trying to rape me !!" Shiro shouted as Lisa had pinned him on the floor, his words making her scoff in disbelief of what he had just accused her of.
"Wow, wow, girl, if you do not get off of him, I will have to get in there and get you handcuffed. Do You hear me!!" The female guard shouted as she started pounding her rubber stick against the bars of the cell.
Lisa had no choice but to leave him and get back to her corner, now so fuming mad that someone could most likely see smoke coming out of her head.
"You have the stupid guard dog to defend you, you aren't playing fair," Lisa complained to Shiro, in a low tone of voice so the female police guard would not hear the way she referred to her.
"Look who's talking about fairness. Miss two-faced snake, herself. Don't make me laugh."
"I hope all the food you are eating falls heavily on your stomach and you are in pain all night long!... Just wait till we get out of here and you will see what will happen. I will crush you." She threatened him again and in her frustrated state, she took off her shoe and threw it at his head.
"Ah! ARE YOU CRAZY!" He exclaimed as he stood up and took some steps towards her, feeling his momentary irritation getting the best of him.
"Come on, yes, get closer if you dare and then I will be the one claiming that you're trying to rape me!" At the sound of her words, he retrieved his steps, for he totally had her capable of putting her words in action and just gave her a threatening glare for a bit, till he sat back down before his precious paper bag with food.
The two fell silent after that for about a quarter of the time or so, but that heavenly peace that the guards sure appreciated, came to an abrupt halt at the sound of a small package that Shiro took out of his pocket and ripped it open, bringing the smell of it to reach Lisa's nostrils and create a new mess.
"Chocolate!"
