Our Dance.

I woke up the next morning to the sun rays blaring through my room that had way too many windows and a pounding headache. It was 8 AM and I knew Wesley would be home within the next two hours.
“Why do I have an alarm set again?”
No! No-no-no-no-no! This can’t be happening! I haven’t done this since shortly before Wesley was conceived! As I rolled over, the situation worsened.
“Niall?!”
“Shit! Please tell me we didn’t!”
“I don’t know.”
Looking down, I realized that I still had my dress on, it was just bunched at my hips and Niall sill had his pants on.
“We have too many clothes on, so I don’t think we did. I mean, usually you don’t put clothes back on afterwards.”
He sighed in relief, which kind of hurt but I see where he is coming from. Niall is trying to gain my trust back and luring me into bed, no matter how drunk, was not the way to do it.
“You need to go. Now.”
“Why?”
“You know damn well why. Go home. Now.”
Niall stood on and slipped on his shirt, making my heart ache at the fact that he was leaving me.
Stop it, Evelina! He hurt you!
“Just let me know one thing, please?” Niall asked, pausing at my bedroom door.
“What?”
“Did I ruin my chance?”
“Depends on how drunk you were.”
“I don’t remember, so extremely drunk.”
“Then, it just set you back a little bit.”
“I can work with that,” he winked, making me smile a little, before turning to walk out again.
“Evelina?” he paused.
“Yes, Niall?”
“I love you.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
I knew that hurt him, but what else was I supposed to do? Give him false hope and say that I loved him back? Granted I do, but I don’t want him to think that I can trust him after this. Yes, watching him leave was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I couldn’t forgive him so easily. Who I date no longer involves just me. It’s also involves Wesley, my son, who is way more important than my happiness will ever be.
Suddenly, my phone rang, snapping me out of my thoughts, with a call from my-now rich- mother in law.
“Hello?”
“Ms. Mayer?”
“This is she.”
“Yes, Ms. Mason is wondering if you would allow Wesley to stay another night and accompany her to a charity event.”
“Yes, of course.”
“Thank you, dear, and you are welcome to join us.”
“I’ll think about it and let you know.”
I then told Wesley I loved him and then hung up the phone. I needed to go to work and talk to Rachel. So, I got dressed in my dance attire, grabbed my bag, and headed to the studio. I taught dance classes on the side, like many professional dancers on the show do. Mine are the cheapest of the pros, even with my name being as high of a status as it is in the world.
“Hey, girls!” I said, to the few girls that were already here.
Practice doesn’t start for another hour, but girls will sometimes come early to get help on a certain move that they just can’t get down.
As I sit my stuff down by the desk that I use to store the CDs in, a lady and a girl who looked about Wesley’s age approached me.
“Excuse me, Ms. Mayer?”
“Yes, ma’am?”
“Do you happen to have an opening by any chance?”
“I actually do! Has she danced before?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Great! For how long?”
“Two years!” the small girl said, making me smile.
“You can join the group I’m teaching today if you have clothes with you!”
The girl looked at her mom who smiled and nodded, making the little girl run off, making me continue to look for their CD.
“Ms. Mayer?” the lady asked softly.
“Oh! I’m sorry! I don’t have any information packets printed out at this moment. I’ll get my assistant to do it during practice and we will have it for you following practice!”
“Okay! Great! Is there somewhere that I could talk to you a little more privately?”
“Yes of course! We can talk in my office right over here,” I said, leading her to the doorway.
“Jessie! When practice starts, if I’m not back, start warming everyone up.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
We then continued to my office that I have for this reason. My main office is way too far away to talk to parents privately.
“What can I help you with?” I asked, making sure I didn’t leave the CD in here by accident.
“I’m just making sure you take payments.”
“Yes, ma’am! Most of our girls are on payments. I understand that it’s rough times.”
“Thank you! My husband is not aware we are here.”
“Is everything okay?” I asked, hoping not to be too invasive.
“Yes, just please don’t question her bruises.”
“Ma’am. Is your husband-”
“Yes, he is. He rarely touches her, only to torture me.”
“Don’t worry about the payments then. Her dance lessons are on us.”
“Oh no. I couldn’t do that.”
“I will do it if you do me a favor.”
“Anything.”
“Report it.”
“Anything, but that.”
“Get out there, if not for you, for your daughter.”
“I can’t! We would have nowhere to go!”
“I have a house that is way too big for us. We have a house that two families can stay in. You can stay on that end of my house. It never gets slept in unless my parents come to town, which is extremely rare. You and your daughter are welcome to live there until you get back on your feet.”
Why would I let a stranger that I just met into my home when I just stated that Wesley’s safety was my number one concern? Well, easy, if anything were to happen with my stuff, I will know. I then picked up the phone as she left to I assume go to the police department.
“Yes, Ms. Mayer?”
“Hi, Maria. Would you please turn the security cameras on in the guest house?”
“Would you like me to prepare those rooms as well?”
“Yes, please. Make sure the kitchen is stocked and ready to be used.”
“For your brother or mother?”
“Neither, but stock it for a mother and five-year-old daughter.”
“Yes, ma’am. When would you like this to be ready?”
“As soon as possible, preferably by tonight.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Thank you. Bye.”
I then hung up the phone and headed to do what I do best. Dance.
I might go to the charity ball tonight, just to see Wesley.

Notes

Don't hate me!
I have been super busy! I'm officially out for Thanksgiving though, so I should update more this week!
Love you guys! Let me know what you think!
Let me know what you think about the mother and daughter! :)
How do you feel about Niall being the guy she went home with?
Threw a little curve-ball there, but not too much of one.
Well, I just realized that it's 2 AM and I'm exhausted so good night! Love you guys!
