Dancing with a Star

13. Dance

It felt weird to be back in the ballroom after everything that happened this week.
“Evelina! I need you in my office please.”
Niall looked at me with wide eyes. I smiled reassuringly and left his side.
“Please explain these,” the producer said, pushing pictures towards me.
They were of Niall, Louis, and I in the zoo parking lot. Rachel and Connor are in a few of them, but not as many. My main concern was the fact that Freddie was in all of them.
“Niall and Louis joined my family on a surprise zoo trip for my son.”
“Why?”
“Because Wesley and Niall have a special bond that honestly, sir, I can’t explain.”
“Why do they have that connection?”
“I’m not sure, honestly. I mean, Wesley met him at our first dance practice and ever since then they have been inseparable.”
“So, there is nothing going on between you too?”
“With all due respect, sir, Niall is a great guy, but my husband was killed in a car crash. I will never be able to love anyone like that ever again.”
He bit his lip and nodded, telling me I was free to go.
I opened that door and walked out of his office, bumping into someone.
“I’m so sorry,” I paused, looking up to see it’s Niall. “Niall.”
He smiled, but I could tell it didn’t reach his eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
He shook his head. I looked around and saw no one around, so I grabbed his hand and drug him into the ballroom hallway, thankful that no one followed.
“Okay. Seriously. What’s wrong?”
“What are we doing?”
“What do you mean?”
“What are we doing with this? Us?”
“I don’t know about you, but I’m basking in this feeling and seeing what comes of it.”
“Are you or were the boys right all along?”
“What are you going on about Niall?”
“I heard what you said to him!”
“To who?”
“The producer!” Niall yelled.
I knew he was hurt and angry, which made me realize that Niall was listening, meaning he heard what I told him about my husband.
“Niall, I said like that. What my late husband and I had is completely different than what we have. Wanna know why?”
“Honestly? Not really, but I know you are going to tell me.”
“You’re dang right I am. It’s different because no love is the same because it is made up of two different people.”
“One person is the same.”
“My husband’s death and the birth of my son changed me in a lot of ways, Niall. It’s a part of me that I’m not exactly proud of.”
“We better get back, love.”
I nodded and turned to walk out, ignoring the way my heart jumped at the pet name. Suddenly, Niall grabbed my hand and pulled me to him, our lips connecting.
Pulling away, Niall bit his lip and I could tell he was holding something back.
“You, Ms. Sutter, will be the death of me,” he whispered.
I smiled and we walked to the dressing rooms.
Hair and make-up was preparing for tonight.
I quickly changed into my two piece. It was a mid-length skirt with a tight top. It was a yellow-greenish color, giving it a froggy look.
I stepped out as soon as they called us and gasped.
“Whitney!” I yelled, thankful it was her.
“What’s up girl?”
“Zip me up! They just called Niall and I, and I don’t even have my shoes on!”
She quickly zipped me up and I slipped my shoes on, running to the floor.
“Ah. Evelina. I was just about to call you again.”
“Sorry! I had some outfit problems.”
“Everything good now?”
“Oh. Yeah! It’s just a little harder to zip than the usual ones.”
They nodded.
“Thanks for watching! Blah. Blah. Blah. Now dancing for their lives, Evelina and Neal! The two lovebirds that might be in serious trouble!”
Thankfully, in rehearsals, they give us time to laugh at what they say and then start, so the entire crew just laughed at what Tom said. After everyone calmed down, we got into positions, now serious, but smiling.
The beginning music started playing, making Niall and I step closer to each other and eventually joining as Mama Odie started singing.
We got lost in it, as the routine was really just fun and entertaining, as well as being as perfect as we could get it. We bounced, danced, and just had an absolute blast the entire way through.
“Niall, I liked your routine last week better. This sucked,” a girl said, pretending to be Carrie Ann.
I laughed, hard.
“She’s on drugs. That was your best routine to date.”
“I agree with Len! That was hot, spicy, and kid-friendly all at the same time.”
I grabbed my stomach I was laughing so hard.
We then were escorted up the stairs and everything went smoothly.
Later that night at the show
“You made it!” I yelled, running up to Connor and Rachel and hugging them.
“We wouldn’t miss it for the world,” Connor said.
I then looked behind them seeing my sister holding my son.
“Oh my gosh! You’re here!” I said, hugging them.
“Mommy!” Wesley said. I smiled and picked him up.
“You been a good boy?”
“Of course. He always is,” Rachel said, smiling at me.
“Momma, where’s Niall?”
Everyone’s eyes got wide.
“Don’t worry. I told my producer a little white lie,” I whispered.
They nodded.
“You want to go see him?”
“Yes!”
I took him to the boy’s dressing room and knocked on the door.
“Niall, you have a visitor.”
He poked out a few minutes later, seeing Wesley in my arms.
“Hey, buddy!”
We heard a throat clearing from behind us and I turned, making Niall’s eyes widen. I smiled, knowing I had invited them.
“Greg! Denise! Theo!”
Niall handed Wesley back to me and ran to hug them, picking Theo up. Wesley looked at me and pouted.
“Wesley, you need to share Niall, okay?”
He nodded, but still kept the pout. I smiled at their connection.
“Hi! You must be Evelina!” Denise said.
“That is me,” I said, shaking her hand.
“And who is this handsome little man?”
“This is my son, Wesley.”
Denise’s eyes grew worried, but she didn’t say anything knowing we weren’t really supposed to be together.
“Alright, well, Greg, we need to go get our seats. We will see you after the show?”
“Yes, of course! Maybe we could go get something to eat because I know this one will be hungry,” I said, ruffling Wesley’s hair.
Niall looked at me.
“Which one are you talking about?” Niall asked, winking at me.
I smiled and shook my head as everyone laughed.
“Alright, well I must go get my hair and make-up done for the show. I’ll see you guys soon.”
I looked at Wesley.
“Be good during the show. Momma will be watching you, okay?”
He smiled and nodded.
“If you’re good, I’ll ask Niall if he’ll tuck you in tonight,” I whispered to him.
His eyes brightened and he nodded.
I kissed his head and then put him down as he ran to Connor.
I smiled and walked to the girl’s dressing room.
Two hours later, my dress was on and make-up was done.
The show started and I was so excited we were going first. I only had to learn this routine this week due to us going first and my outfit taking so long to get on and my make-up and hair to do.
“First up is Niall and Evelina!”
I smiled and waved.
As the commercials rolled, I ran to Wesley.
“Wish Mommy and Niall luck!”
“Good luck, Mommy and Niall!”
I smiled and kissed his cheek before running to my spot next to Niall.
“Wesley said good luck,” I whispered as we came back.
Niall smiled and they played our package, which showed when Niall had a small frustration moment. It was the day that we took Wesley to the zoo. He was frustrated because he kept messing up.
They got me soothing him, but, thankfully, I didn’t say anything that would give our status away. It just looked like we were close friends, which everyone knew we were.
As the video played, Niall and I got in our spots. We were then introduced, for real this time, and the music played.
This is why I did what I did.
To get lost in the world and beauty of it.
Dance is a link to the soul and sometimes, to feel happy in an awful situation all you need to do is get lost and away from reality.

Notes

Thank you for help in this chapter! This took a little bit longer to update, so I wrote a longer one (almost a full two chapters).
The quote is from a movie called High Strung and is one of the greatest movies on the planet. I'm actually watching it right now as I type this. :)
Well, it is currently one in the morning and I have work in the morning and my best friend is coming back from the beach tomorrow so we're hanging out because we've pretty much been inseparable all summer (I'm in college now, so summer is still going for me). :)
Stay in school, kids because I promise walking across that stage getting your diploma makes those years of hell worth it.
Let me know what you think! I love the feedback I'm getting. Thank you for the help on this chapter. It meant a lot. :)
You guys are the bomb! I love you guys! Thank you so much!

Definitely! Denny's is definitely better! I like the nachos at Dennys. :) Waffle House just isn't good to me. My family loves it, but it makes me sick.
