|Callie's P.O.V|
"Ok people this is what most of you have been so anxious for. . . " I hear the DJ stop the music and say into the mic.
"For those of you who don't know my name is DJ Scratch and tonight we are doing things a little different. Those of you that are regulars know the drill, every once in a while we have a band or artist come and perform, but tonight we have a group of people that some of you and I know pretty well gracing our stage. The dancers of the crew X-Clusive are here to perform. Most of you all know the dancers but in case you don't ill name a few: Tongue Twist, Romeo, Young Love, Uh-Oh, Angel, and Layla, just to name a few. We are going to start the music up, they will do a couple songs, the dance floor will still be open, watch or don't, then they will break, and do a few more before the night is up. If you enjoy this it may become a permanent fix here at Mix so let us know what you think." The DJ says before he starts the music.
By the time he starts to play the music we have moved to sit down. We see dancers warming up towards each side of the stage. They all seem to be wearing similar clothes. The guys, and few girls, have loose fitting jeans or jogging pants, polos or wife beaters, and flat billed hats. Some have sweat bands on their arms or head. The girls are in army type pants either black or white, with tank tops, cut off shirts, or under aurmor. Everyone in the group has their nicknames airbrushed onto their shirts.
The first song, Drop it Low Remix by Ester ft. Chris Brown, comes on and the people on the dance floor start getting hyped up. Some people start dancing on the dance floor and others watch while the 'crew' made their way to the middle of the stage, some buckin', some snaking their bodies, some gliding and some flipping. It came around to where almost every crew member had a turn in the spotlight. When someone started dancing that was obviously well known in the club you heard screams and chants, sometimes of their nicknames and other it was something like 'get it boy/girl' or 'that's what's up', or 'my boy/girl just put it down'. The main dancers were already made obvious in one song. Uh-Oh was definitely well known around the club, flat billed hat cocked to the side and in front of his face, baggy white tee with green writing that matched the hat and said Uh-Oh on the front and X-Clusive on the back. His light brown hair was done in cornrows and his jeans came down into his high top Jordan shoes that had the same color green present on them. Tongue Twist was also well known. He wore pretty much the same shirt just with his nick name and group in baby blue, same dark jeans and had nike shoes with the check matching the blue in his shirt. Layla was the dominant girl in the group her tank top resembled the guy's shirts but she had her writing in pink and had on pink heels. How she managed to dance like she was in those, I have no idea, seems pretty painful to me. Ryde was the other main girl in the group and she had a cut off shirt with her name and group in rainbow color writing with sneakers to match.
'Ok this group really likes to color coordinate.' I thought to myself. The first song was over and Arizona and I decided to make our way to the dance floor. We both wanted to watch the dancers more closely and what can I say I love the feeling of Arizona dancing against me.
The next song that came on was Calibria 2007 remix and the only dancers on that song were Young Love, Romeo, Juliet, and Angel. They set it up boys against girls battling, but they did couple work throughout. The precision and fluidity of each move was incredible. The talent this crew possessed was amazing. This was when I realized dancing to this crew was like surgery to my friends and me. It was more than a hobby, it was a lifestyle and of that I was truly in awe. After that song the crew took a break and Arizona and I continued to dance.
As the crew returned to the stage, Beautiful Liar by Beyonce and Shakira, started playing. Arizona looked at me and started smiling because this song was played often in our apartment. What can I say I got a small thing for Beyonce, and Arizona has a thing for Latina women, who would have guessed? Six crew members had come to the stage, but we had already decided which ones were our favorite dancers and these were the ones that didn't impress us as much, so this dance was about Arizona and I.
The song started playing and I reached out for Arizona's hips bringing her back to my front. Then I feel a tap on my shoulder.
"What now?" I snap at the person, I just want to feel Arizona's body against mine.
"Don't get an attitude with me Calliope" Dakota says seriously before laughing at me for scowling at her use of my full name.
"Whatever" I say laughing.
"Yeah well, Lydia and I are going back to the hotel and taking Addison with us."
"Oh gahh don't corrupt her please, and no 'little Callie' stories."
"I can't promise that last one. Meredith and Christina are taking care of themselves and Mark and Lexie got called in, you can now do whatever with your girl toy here."
"Ok that last part was rude, but I know you were joking so I'll let it slide. Thanks for being here can we hang out and catch up tomorrow?"
"Yeah, sure just text me and let me know when you want to hang out. Happy Birthday, again. Love you girl."
"Love you too. See you tomorrow."
I pull Arizona back closer to me to continue our dance. "Thanks again for getting my friends here."
"Anything for you baby. Glad you liked your birthday presents." She crooks her neck to say in my ear.
We continue to dance closely, I'm letting her make the pace for this dance and I'm loving every minute of it. She wraps her arm around my neck pulling my face beside hers and we dance closely and then she turns around to face me putting our faces inches from each other. She is keeping eye contact with me. She is so beautiful. I wrap my arms around her hips and she puts her leg in between my legs. She starts rolling her body into mine. I follow her actions and we are rolling at the same time. Our bodies were touching briefly starting at our chests and finishing at our centers. I looked down focusing on our centers touching, making sure to hit the beat at that exact moment, pushing further into Arizona. Soon I feel Arizona's hand starting at my knee and slowly but firmly working its way up my thigh, then my waist, looping her finger into my belt loop and pulling my body impossibly closer. I pulled Arizona into a rough kiss continuing our dance like that until the song ended.
"Damn, I need a drink." I laugh.
"Yeah I could use one of those."
I walk over to the bar hand in hand with Arizona. "Can I get a tequila shot and an apple martini please?"
"Of course. . . Here you go."
I go to hand her the money. "Don't worry about it someone already told me to keep you two's drinks on their tab."
"Can I ask who that would be?"
"I was told to keep that to myself, Sorry." She winks at me, and at that wink Arizona tenses her hand on mine letting me know to leave the bar now.
"Ugh, flirt." Arizona says giving the bar girl a scowl.
"Don't worry baby, I only have eyes for you, and that show you put on definitely put you at the top of my list." I say kissing her playfully.
"Ok everyone this little dance was requested by a fellow clubber. Obviously Uh-Oh and Layla know how to put on a show whether it is on a stage or at a party. Uh-Oh and Layla get up here and slow juke." The DJ says into his mic.
Slow Jukin' by Young Steff starts to play and Uh-Oh and Layla take the stage. Layla glides over behind her partner and Uh-Oh jukes in front of her. They play out the song to the lyrics; it is like watching a play. Arizona and I like both these dancers and decide to find a table kind of close to the stage to watch. I study the couple dancing. I want to see Uh-Oh's face because I want to find him when this is over and tell him how good he is. His fluidity is truly fascinating. I noticed quickly that he didn't let his face be seen and that confused me because they said most people knew him.
Girl the way you move your body got me feelin a lil hot, hot, hot, hot
I see you know what to do so let's take it to another level
Lemme see you get low
Now wait a minute now stop
Now bring it up slow, hold on, oh baby damn
The energy between you and me
The way we dancing so close baby
All these people in the room
But you make me feel like, baby, its just you and me
With this part of the dance Uh-Oh has Layla bent down and brings her back up by the hair. These two definitely have sexual chemistry. They stay in character with the lyrics and not only dance but really perform, pointing and making it seem like he is singing to her.
(Yeah baby girl, alright)
Lemme see you put your hands down low lift that leg up high
Got me loving how you move that there, how you work those thighs
Hypnotized by how it goes back forth and side to side
Make a playa wanna ride, make me laid up all the night
This is the part where Layla takes over and the chemistry flares up. Layla locks eyes with Uh-Oh and put her hands in Uh-Oh's and puts her leg on his shoulder. They then move their bodies 'back forth and side to side' like the song says, and when this happens I feel Arizona lean over to "whisper" the best she can in my ear.
"That position looks vaguely familiar. Oh yeah, the roof." Arizona winks at me and puts her hand on my thigh.
"This is the last song the dancers are performing to and when it's over I'm taking you home." I say kissing her neck.
"Ok they better hurry up." She says giggling.
Flex by Party Boyz starts playing and pretty much the whole club goes wild. The whole crew gets on the stage and started to 'flex' the rest turned into a group dance every once in a while breaking into a free style. At the end of the song the version that was played ended in a big boom and right before that 4 crew members had jumped down and got in position. Tongue Twist jumped off stage caught by all four limbs by his crew members and threw back on stage, and landed when the boom sounded. The whole club went wild again. I had to tell them how amazing they were and I could tell Arizona wanted to as well. We went to grab a drink to see if we would see any of the crew members.
As we were ordering drinks again I saw Uh-Oh slide over the bar to stand behind the bartender. He was still keeping his face covered by his hat.
"Hey the girls you are buying for are ordering drinks now; you want to tell them who is buying their drinks." I hear the girl say. About that time I hear people yelling and I get hit. I think it was by accident but damn, it hurt.
Uh-Oh jumped back over the bar and grabbed me and Arizona by the arm and pushes us toward a side door.
"Nino!" Uh-Oh yelled at a bouncer. I then realized I was wrong Uh-Oh was a girl. "Get over here I'm taking them outside." That voice seemed so familiar.
She pulled us outside and finally removed her hat.
"Jessamine?" I said completely shocked. I mean this is a 21 and up club. The guy she called, Nino, came out to stand beside us.
"Nino don't let them go anywhere, I'm going back in there to handle business. I'll be right back."
"Jessamine, what the hell." I yell after her, but she is already in the club. "You don't have to watch after us. We can handle ourselves." I tell the bouncer.
"Look, what J wants I make sure she gets and obviously she doesn't want you going anywhere. She must think something is going on if she called me."
I try getting in the club to her, but Nino blocks my way.
"Come on Calliope. She will come back out."
We wait for about fifteen minutes and then we see Jessamine stumbling out slowly with a busted lip, wearing a wife beater and carrying her shirt on her shoulder.
"J, what happened?" Nino asked but she waves him off and looks at me. Then pulls him close to her and whispers in his ear.
He looks at her questioningly and grabs her arm. She looks at him and gives him a stern look letting him know whatever she said was serious and he nods and let's go.
"Come on let's get you two home." She says to Arizona and me.
"Are you ok?"
"Did you walk or drive?" She asks ignoring my question.
"Walk."
"Ok come on, I'm walking you, and no, it's not up for discussion."
