"Excuse me, would you do the honor of dancing with me young man?" a woman's voice floated to Mike's ears and he glanced up. She was beautiful but was definitely a couple years older than him. She was slightly shorter than him in her heels, her long brown hair was loosely curled, and her green eyes shown out in contrast to her shadowy make-up and her dark purple dress. They smiled at each other like they knew a secret
"It would be my pleasure, ma'am" Mike replied politely, taking her hand. Harvey stared at him questioningly as he walked away. Didn't the puppy have a girlfriend? Not that it matter because he didn't care about the kid's personal life. He did, however, sat to watch them dance.
He saw Mike take the girls hand in one of his own and placed his other on her hip deftly. She, in response, put her hand on his shoulder as if they had practiced it a million times. There was light classical music being played and they began to do a waltz-like dance that nobody else in the room was doing. Harvey was surprised, who knew the kid could dance?
He got distracted by a couple clients Jessica introduced him to for a couple of seconds. Harvey sighed in annoyance, he almost hated the annual dinner held at Pearson Hardman for their clients. When they were gone Harvey looked up in time to see Mike spin the beautiful girl until she twirled a few feet away out of his reach. They stood there a couple of seconds, staring at each other even when other dancers danced across their view. When a space opened they walked towards each other in determination. They stopped a few centimeters away from the other and begin circling each other while staring intently. They then switched directions holding one of their hands up to each other with out touching as they continued circling. They stopped abruptly and time seemed to halt before their next move.
The walked into each others embraces practically slamming into one another and began to tango. Harvey's eyebrows raised up towards his hair line as the woman's leg wrapped seductively around Mike's hip as he began to dragging her backwards. She suddenly let go of his hip and they began moving their feet around each other so fast it was almost hard for Harvey's eyes to follow.
The amazing thing was that there wasn't even tango music on! They were creating their own beat, their own flow. Mike held her close and supported her back as she bent backward letting her head move towards the floor and then swung her upwards bringing their upper bodies back together. He took a step back and another as she followed, making steps into where his feet were once standing. They stopped and Mike let go all of her except for one hand. He tugged on her hand, twirling her back towards him and took position once more their faces just inches apart from one another. Whatever song had been playing ended and they let go. Harvey was almost sad to see them stop when Salsa music came on.
Harvey glanced at the DJ and saw him smiling at the couple. Apparently Harvey wasn't the only one who had been entranced by their dancing. Mike and the girl started laughing and he took her hands in his loosely as they started to salsa dance. Damn, they were good. Soon enough, more people joined the dance floor and started to salsa as well. When the song ended people clapped for everyone's salsa dancing including Harvey. Harvey glanced over just in time again to see Mike placing a gentle kiss on the woman's hand. Mike laughed as the woman took his face in his hands pulling him downwards to place a kiss on his forehead. Harvey was definitely sure that the kid knew this woman. There was no way he was that skilled at charming a woman however skilled he was at dancing. He saw him hold his elbow out and the woman linked her arm in his. They were laughing and talking as Mike escorted her outside to cool down. Harvey stared after them when Jessica interrupted his thoughts.
"Your associate is a very skilled dancer" she smiled knowingly. "Almost as skilled as Anna".
"That was your Anna?" Harvey asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I almost didn't recognize her myself since her hair isn't died red anymore. How does the kid know her?"
"As for that, it beats me" Harvey replied staring at the door Mike and Anna had exited only minutes before while wondering how his associate knew one of the firms oldest clients.
Well, that's chapter one! I hope you enjoyed it! : ) More will come soon but please forgive me if I get behind with his story since I'm quite busy with school.
