Disclaimer: I only own Anna.
Ok so I FINALLY watched Step Up All In and I am beating myself up for not watching it sooner. Soul Dancer was my first real popular story and I just love Anna and Eddy.
So after a very long wait, here's the sequel you've all been waiting for.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Have you ever just looked at your life and think that this is not where you want to be? For the past six months...I have.
Six months ago after saving the strip and mine and Eddy's wedding; Sean, Eddy, and the rest of the mob got to do an ad for Nike. Doing this, we all uprooted and moved to Los Angeles. Not only was doing the ad exciting but it was a much larger area than Miami for the crew to have more opportunities with their amazing skills.
Quitting my job at Windwood was hard but I couldn't let my husband, let alone brother and the rest of the crew that's practically family go to the other side of the country without me.
After the ad was done, things started to get tough, for everyone. Trying to be a professional dancer is hard. It killed me every time I saw the looks on everyone's faces when an audition went bad.
It also didn't help Sean when Emily broke up with him a month and a half of us being in L.A.. When she found out she was going on tour, she just ended it with him. I never seen my brother so upset. He was really in love with her and I thought she felt the same way but I guess not. I know he still thinks about her a lot. He won't even look in another girls direction. I just want to see him happy again.
After my minor surgery to solve some of the pain I was having in my hip replacement, my doctor recommended that I do some yoga which I ended up loving. It was tough at first but it felt amazing once I was able to really do it. It became my new enjoyment in life since dancing was taken from me.
Even though I found something that I enjoy now, something just wasn't right and it's actually being here in L.A.. It just wasn't home. I missed Miami. I missed actually enjoying where I live and it's definitely not here.
I haven't told Eddy how I felt because I promised him that I would always follow him anywhere especially when it came to his dancing. He hasn't said anything to me, but I'm starting to think he's starting to feel the same way. I think another rejection or two will tip him over the edge.
Today the crew had another audition and I just hoped and prayed that they got it. One, because they really need it and two, I can't take seeing the failure on their faces again. They all left dressed up in mariachi clothes so I couldn't really even picture what the audition was for.
I was picking up around our place that everyone shared. It was not the nicest place but it basically served just as somewhere for the thirteen of us to eat and sleep. I couldn't help but worry though that soon we wouldn't even have that because we were late on paying rent. Like really late. All of us have small jobs but that isn't enough to survive on especially in an expensive city. Mine and Eddy's bank account has exactly $258.19. That's not much to live on.
I know that we're all trying to stick together and help each other out but Eddy and I haven't even been married for a year and don't get that much alone time together. We both have tried to do special little somethings together but Sean is crazy when it's comes to their dancing.
I love my twin brother to death and I really care about him but he needs to realize that everything doesn't need to revolve around it. Sometimes I really want to just smack him across the back of the head.
Eddy is my whole world and after the whole keeping Emily's dad a secret and almost losing him; I told myself never again will I lose Eddy.
After sweeping, my phone goes off informing me I that I had a text.
Bad auditions today. The crew needs cheering up especially Eddy. Meet us at the club. -Sean
Damn. I was really hoping they got it. Not wasting anytime, I change into my favorite skinny jeans and shimmery purple crop top with black ankle boots. I do the smoky look to my eyes and leave my hair down.
The club isn't that far from our place so I beat everyone to the club. I say hi to Jimmy behind the bar and he gets me a drink. Not to long later I feel a familiar set of arms wrap around me and a kiss me the side of my neck. I shiver at his touch before turning around and bringing my lips to his.
Eddy gives me that smile I love so much and kisses my forehead before I turn to say hi to everyone. Sean bends down kissing my cheek before he is handed his drink.
Before anyone gets a chance to really say anything to me, I jump up off my stool when my favorite song comes on, Bailando by Enrique Iglesias. I grab my husband's hand and he follows me to the dance floor, immediately pulling me close to him.
Our movements together were in sync. It showed our love and passion for each other. I even teased him with the sensual movements and I felt my blood pump faster from the dark look in his eyes. I know that look...I love that look...I needed what that look meant.
Eddy pulls me to him to where there is no space between us. I can feel his heart hammering in his chest against mine. He brings his lips to my ear, "you have no idea how much I want to drag you out of here."
My body shivered and I smile at him as he runs his hands to my hips. It's been a little over a week... well nine days to be exact since we've had sex and I can't take it anymore. "Who says you can't?" His eyes become darker and right as the song ends he starts to pull me towards the door but Sean stops us and I groan.
"Where are y'all going?" He asks. "We just got here."
"You go enjoy yourself Sean but we need to be alone. We need some time for ourselves without any interruptions," I tell him bluntly. His eyes go a little wide and before we get a chance to head to the door before Sean can say anything else, someone bumps into him.
We all turn to see Jasper. He's a dancer with his own crew that always seems to manage to get the auditions from them. He's an ass and is always hitting on me. Gag.
"It's the mariachi band from earlier. You ladies play us something saucy?" He asks snapping his fingers. He then looks to me, "Hey Anna,
you ready to be with a real dancer?" He asks winking at me.
Eddy pulls me closer to his side, "back off Jasper." This only makes him laugh. He loves getting a rise from Eddy.
"That's cute." Sean says. "That necklace is cute, too. You get that at Claire's?" He asks pointing at Jasper's necklace.
"Man, you spend all day comin' up with that? You musta had a lotta free time after not getting that gig." God he's so cocky.
I can tell that Sean was really starting to get pissed off. "Whatever, man, just get outta here. We're just tryin' to have a good time."
"Man, we ain't goin' nowhere. We came here to do a little dancin'. Unless that's a problem for you."
I knew exactly where this was going.
"It is. So go," Sean points to the door.
"Maybe we should settle it. You wanna battle on the floor?" Jasper asks with grin.
I could tell that no one besides Sean wanted to do this. I step up behind my brother and put a hand on his shoulder, "can you please not so the tonight Sean?" But he ignores me as he continues to glare daggers into Jasper.
"Are we really about to do this?" Jason asks and Sean nods.
"Sean this guy is a douche, please don't give in to him," I pleaded with him.
Eddy gets in front of him, "listen Sean, tonight isn't the night for this. Anna and I need some time together. Battling him is not the move."
Sean didn't even seem to care. What's his deal?
"Look, what's the problem? Did the three amigos forget their sombreros?" Jasper asks wanting to start the dance battle.
"Mexican reference? Good job," Jason says shaking his head.
"This guy's a dick," Eddy says pissed.
I didn't want to see this get even more out of control, "Come on. Let's just go. Please?" I'm getting desperate now.
"No, no." Sean tells us before turning back to Jasper, "You picked the wrong night to mess with me little man," he sneers before getting in place to start the battle.
"Aww is someone having a tough day?" Jasper fake pouts before getting serious again, "it must suck to be hot for five minutes, then realize that your flash mob ain't nothin' but a joke."
Now I seriously wanted to punch him in the face, and I'm a nonviolent person. I know it's a rivalry thing going on but he has no right to say that about my family. "Shut the hell up Jasper, you're the joke here."
He smirks at me, "God you're so sexy when you're feisty."
I had to push Eddy back as he tried to punch him in the face making Jasper laugh.
I look back at my brother with my arms around my husband trying to keep him calm, this is exactly what I didn't want to happen. "Sean this is getting out of control, can we please go before things get worse?"
"No, we came here to dance. Let's line up for these clowns."
I couldn't believe him.
Eddy had this extremely annoyed/pissed look on his face as he goes to join my brother and the rest of The Mob but not before giving me a quick kiss.
I shake my head at my brother but lean against a pillar a they start to dance. They were great like always. I couldn't help the huge smile that spread across my face as I watched Eddy. I loved what he did with the beer bottle and even giggled when he dropped it in Jasper's hands.
Once they finished, I go to Eddy's side as we watch Jasper and his crew, The Grim Knights. As they danced I felt my heart sink. They were good...really good and everyone else knew it too.
I look up at my husband to see him shaking his head as he glares at Sean. The rest of the crew looked the same way.
When they finished, the whole club started chanting their name. They completely crushed us.
Taking my hand in his, Eddy approaches Sean seething with anger and humiliation, "That's the last time I make a fool out of
myself for you. That's it." Not waiting for a response he pulls me with him to the door.
"Way to look out for your crew bro," Jason says shaking his head.
Everyone said something as they started to walk away.
"If everyone could make it, they wouldn't call this Hollywood," Jasper calls out to us making tonight that much more worse.
Why couldn't Sean just listen to me?
So there's the first chapter! I hope you all liked it. I know it's pretty close to the movie right now but we don't see what happens to the Mob when the go back to Miami and getting to Vegas and all that so you will with this! Don't forget to review my lovelies!
