Chapter Three-Catching Up
Caleb's POV
I watched as she walked away, God she looked absolutely amazing. And that body…God Caleb knock it off. This is the first time you've seen her in years and all you can think about is her hott…tight ass. Oh God I gotta snap out of it. Take it slow…I need to get to know her again; I wonder if Tyler would have a problem with me liking Daniela.
I heard music start up, Ella and two girls were on stage lying on a platform, bed looking thing. They were all in different colored flowing dresses and barefoot. They started to dance, she's amazing, bending, turning, and flipping with ease. I saw her face, she looked sad like she was really living the song. I looked over at the others they were all mesmerized, Kate was actually tearing up. I turned back to watch her, at one point I swear she was staring straight in my eyes. Her hair flew in her face and she did a bunch of turns in a row, it added to her sex appeal. I almost forgot that there were two other dancers with her. Everyone, including me was enchanted by her, the song ended and everyone stood up clapping. The curtains closed again for a few minutes.
Kendra showed up again, she sat down next to me. She leaned to me, "This one is her favorite…" Before I could ask anything the curtains opened back up and I saw Ella, she was in baggy ripped jeans and just a black sports bra, and some bright colored shoes. The guy was in an outfit that looked like it was more for a motorcycle gang then a dancer. When the music started I was really thrown back. Ella was gyrating, popping, locking, and just plain moving in ways I didn't know she could. She had the cutest look in her face; it was a mix between cocky and turned on. The dance ended after a few minutes, I was completely turned on as was every other guy in the audience, except Tyler of course.
Daniela's POV
The music stopped and I could hardly catch my breath. Everyone was standing and clapping, I laughed and hugged Steven. We both bowed, then I saw one of my professors come on stage she had a microphone in one hand and flowers in the other.
"Isn't she great folks!" The cheering got louder, "As some of you may now Daniela or D to most of you is one of our most talented students. She graduated last week; ahead of schedule…D has done many amazing things in the dancing world. It's going to be a shame to lose her, but we all know she's going to continue to do great things. I guess what I'm trying to say is D we are all proud of you!" This brought the tears streaming down my face, not sad tears but happy. Happy that I had grown to see all of these people as family. She walked over and handed me the flowers, I took another bow and the curtains closed.
After changing back into my original outfit, fixing my bangs and wiping off the extra stage makeup and walked into the lobby to meet the group.
Tyler immediately had me in a bear hug, "Daniela you are amazing!"
"Thanks Ty but I can't breathe…" I laughed and he set me back down. Everyone took their turn crushing my ribs and complementing me, even Reid. Of course he made a comment about my gyrating or something and Ty punched him in the arm.
"All righty then back to my place!" I started to head out the door.
"How are we getting there?" Reid asked.
"Cab…duh!" I rolled my eyes…country boys. I hailed us a cab-van so it was big enough to fit all four boys plus Kate and I. We got into my apartment and I offered to get everyone drinks, I threw my coat on the couch and went into the kitchen.
Caleb followed me, "Hey Ella you were really amazing tonight, and you look great, really happy."
"Thanks Caleb I really am happy when I'm dancing, it's freeing… takes my mind off stuff."
He just smiled, I heard a commotion out in the living room and we both headed out to investigate. Reid was holding Tyler's wallet over his head; him and Pogue were apparently playing a game of keep away.
"So I say baby boy pays tonight!" Reid laughed.
"Come one guys you have your own money give it back!" Tyler looked pissed.
I had to help my cousin, "Reid give it back…"
"Yeah like that's going to happen…"
"Fine." I rolled my eyes and the concentrated my power on the wallet, it flew right into my hand. I tossed to Tyler.
"Thanks…" I looked around to see every ones mouth open and staring at me.
Caleb looked tense, "How the hell did you do that?..."
"Wait…what…" I looked over at Tyler and read his mind. Shit…shit…shit they are going to be mad I didn't tell them. "Tyler Simms you didn't tell them!" He just looked down, I crossed my arms.
"So I think we need to have a conversation…" Pogue interrupted the silence.
"Hell yeah we do…" I walked over to the couch and sat down, "Alright everyone sit down, it's story time…" Everyone sat down at various places, Tyler sat at my right, Caleb at my left. "So as you can see I'm telekinetic , I can move things with my mind and read minds. I got theses powers when I was about thirteen, it's nothing compared to what you guys can do…just small stuff. I'm assuming it's just a little power that has trickled down through the Simms line. And don't worry I only read minds in emergencies or if someone allows me."
"Alright that doesn't explain why you didn't tell us Tyler." Caleb turned towards Tyler who just kept his head down.
"It wasn't my business to tell…it was her secret not mine…"
"We still should've known…" Caleb huffed.
" Maybe if you had kept in contact you would have…" I answered him. Everyone fell really quiet and didn't look at me. I stood up, and started picking up empty pop cans. "Anyway I'm just going to clean up and we can get going…" I took the cans into the kitchen, while giving them my best 'it's ok' smile.
As I was rinsing out the cans, I felt a presence behind me, I turned around…it was Caleb.
"Ella I'm sorry…"
"Caleb seriously don't worry about it…I didn't mean it the way it sounded. I don't blame you guys for not contacting me, we were all young when I was sent states away…plus it's not like I tried contacting you guys either." I turned around and starting rinsing again and throwing the can in the bag under my sink.
Caleb leaned against the counter next to me. "Ella I just feel bad…and you had to go through having powers all by yourself…I really do regret not staying in contact with you."
"Honestly a part of me is glad you didn't…I don't like who I use to be Caleb. I went through a lot...had a lot problems…it wasn't until sixteen that I became the person I am today."
"What do you mean problems…?" he asked.
"A story for another time…"
He smiled, "Alright but know I am totally writing and calling you every day after we leave."
"Actually you won't have to…"
"What?"
"OH SHIT…I wanted to surprise Tyler with the news…ok you have to promise not to tell him."
He helped up his right hand, "Scouts honor…"
I giggled, "All right…I'm coming back to Ipswich…they asked me to teach dance classes at Spencer…" Caleb smiled, and I swear I saw him jump a little.
