Dancing with a Star

“I am in absolute love with that routine! It was fun and cheery and correct. Niall, this is a million times better than last week,” Carrie Ann said.
I hugged Niall, happy with her response.
“Len,” Tom said, cueing him to speak.
“That was fun, the technique was fabulous. I enjoyed it because there were no other dancers or a show it was just straight up dancing. It was clean, family-friendly, and just a lot of fun,” Len said.
I didn’t want a show. Last week I did a huge theatrical thing and I feel like I lost the dance in the production of it all.
“That was an amazing dance! I wanted to join you! Maybe I can in trio week!”
I laughed and nodded.
“Definitely, Bruno!”
Even though I knew it wasn’t possible because we had to be judged that week.
Tom then told us to go up the stairs to get our scores.
“So, Niall and Evelina, you both had a pretty rough week last week. How did you come back from that?” Erin asked.
We both nodded with smiles on our faces.
“I think we both felt like we had something to prove to America that we are in this until hopefully the very end and we are here for that mirror-ball,” Niall answered.
“Alright, well, there is rumors going around that you two are an item and are hopelessly in love with each other. Is this true?”
We laughed and shook our heads.
“I don’t know, Niall. Are we an item?” I asked, looking at him hopefully.
“I don’t know!” Niall said, laughing.
“Sketchy as always,” Erin said, making her and myself bust out laughing.
We literally just had finished a conversation about how sketchy they are about their girlfriends before the show and how our relationship would probably turn into a Larry situation.
“Alright, you two, let’s get your scores,” Erin said once she calmed down a little bit.
Niall wrapped his arms around my waist, making me smile.
“Carrie Ann Inaba,” the announcer said.
“10!”
I felt all of the breath leave me as my mouth dropped open.
“Len Goodman!”
“From Len it’s a 10!”
“Bruno Antonio!”
“From Bruno it’s a 10!”
I hugged Niall tightly and then wiped my tears carefully.
“The first perfect score of the season! How do you feel about this Evelina?” Erin asked.
“I’m speechless and emotional. Thank you so much!”
“Well, if they make it through this week, they are going to need your votes!”
She then went through the voting process and I was just ecstatic.
After that was all over, the show went to commercial, so we went downstairs and backstage.
“We did it!”
“Oh my god, we did it!”
We hugged tightly.
“You little bitch,” Emily said, breaking us up and shoving me.
“Excuse me?”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t stutter. Maybe you are just deaf.”
I felt my blood boil, looking to the sides seeing Nyle getting ready, as he was right after Emily and Jonathan, meaning they were last. Peta must have heard her because she glared at her.
Oh shit. Pregnant Peta is pissed.
I just walked off, letting Peta deal with it.
“Where are you going, whore?”
I stopped, my fists clenched.
“Wesley. Family. Wesley. Me. Wesley. Wesley. Wesley. Wesley. Wesley,” Niall said from behind me.
My fists slowly started unclenching as I knew why he was saying Wesley’s name. As my mind calmed, I realized we were on national television.
Apparently though, Peta didn’t really care as she dragged Emily away from the cameras. I had no clue what she was going to do, but I knew I had to stop her.
She couldn’t lose this job. Not now.
“Peta! Wait!” I yelled.
She stopped and turned to me.
“You should be the last person stopping me right now,” Peta snapped.
“She isn’t worth it! Think about the little one growing inside of you, Peta. Don’t put them at risk. She’s not worth it. You could lose the baby if the press sees it. You could lose your job.”
She bites her lip and lifts Emily, which honestly surprised me and Niall.
“You insult anyone like that ever again, I won’t care about anybody. Your pretty little face will be deranged after I’m through. Now back off and if I see you talking to either Nyle DiMarco, Niall Horan, or Evelina Sutter, I will break your face. Do you understand?” Peta threatened.
She nodded her head with wide eyes before running off.
I hugged Peta.
“Thank you.”
“I’m not stupid, Evelina. I know exactly what you and Niall are. I see it in your eyes. Maks looks at me like that.”
“That obvious?”
“Only if you’ve ever been in love,” she said, making me blush.
She laughed and I wondered how after all of that, her hair and make-up still looked flawless.
“All I’m saying is damn, girl, you have a ton of hairspray in your hair.”
She laughed and nodded.
“Now I know why my head is so heavy.”
We laughed and walked back to the ballroom, where I saw Niall holding Wesley. I smiled and Peta saw what I was looking at.
“Go get your men,” she whispered.
I walked to them and as I was about to tap Niall on the shoulder, Wesley’s smile brightened.
“Momma!” he said, reaching for me.
Niall turned to me and I smiled.
“Hey, monkey butt.”
Wesley pouted at me, making me laugh.
I reached for him and he turned towards Niall.
“Niall, she called me a monkey butt.”
“I’m sorry, Monkey,” he said, winking at me.
Wesley gasped and then went to my arms, making me laugh.
Erin then told me that the contestants were coming back here for the scores so I might want to get out of camera’s view with him, so that’s what I did.
Wesley, Niall, and I all went to the dancer’s room to snack. I gave Wesley a strawberry, but told him that he can’t have more than that because he didn’t need to ruin his supper.
He was extremely upset about that, but he eventually got over it and started talking to the other dancers. His favorite pros were Mark, Whitney, and Peta. His favorite contestants (besides Niall) was Paige, Nyle, and Jodie.
The show continued on until it was elimination time. Niall and I both were loving the distraction of Wesley, until Rachel came to take him back for elimination time.
Peta and Nyle just finished, so we all walked out.
I couldn’t hear anything except the racing of my heart.
“Now is the hard time,” Erin said.
No one peeped a word.
“The first couple in jeopardy is,” Tom paused.
“Jodie and Keo,” Erin said.
I gasped and they nodded.
“The second couple in jeopardy is,” Tom said.
“Doug and Karina.”
They were finally announcing the third couple.
“Niall and Evelina.”
That’s when all breath escaped me.
We were in jeopardy.
