I do not own Dirty Dancing and its characters.
It took some time for Johnny before he got out of the water, he's helping himself quickly when he went down until only his head was above the water. Baby sits on the shore, and he watches her, he couldn't help it. He needed it, the rush was unbearable now. He didn't want to make a sound so he bit his lip. Baby watches him and has a little smile on her face. She knows what he's doing, she stands up and turns, bending down to stretch. She looks at him and sees he has his eyes closed, she smiles. At least this isn't forbidden, this is their secret, one that Johnny thinks Baby doesn't know and she wants to treasure it somehow. She stands straight and turns. Laying her head back, she went with her hands through her hair, so her breasts perks out more, with her white shirt and white bra, still being wet. Johnny sees her nipples and he couldn't handle it, he came, he exhales deeply and sighs. He arranges himself again and zips his pants before swimming to the shore as well. They didn't say a thing while walking back to the car. Both deep in their own thoughts about each other.
When their clothes were dry, Baby drove back.
"You're nervous for the show?" Baby asks on their way back. He looks at her with a smile.
"A little bit, I guess the nerves will come on the moment the show starts." He says.
"You're doing great Johnny. You're a great lead." Baby says with a smile. She didn't want to admit it, but she loves to dance with him. He's the best lead she ever had. Even better than Rodriguez, but she likes to keep that to herself. He watches her and then looked outside.
"I never thought I would love dancing. I never really danced before and the moments I did, I truly sucked at it." He says, she looks at him again.
"You're a natural, you just need to get more confidence." Baby says.
"You're a great teacher Baby." He says, she blushes at the compliment. It surprises him a bit. He already discovered that Baby doesn't know how to deal with compliments.
"I'm only doing what I need to do." She says.
"And you're great at it." He says, she blushes more. He smiles, he wanted to take her hand but didn't dare.
"Tomorrow we'll only have a short moment to practice. I want to do the routine again." Baby says and he only nods. They arrive at Kellerman's again.
"Thanks for doing this Johnny." Baby says after she has parked her car. He looks at her and smiles.
"Thanks for showing me dancing." He says, but what he truly meant was that he's thankful for her showing him reality. She looks in his eyes. She breaks the stare and steps out. He gives a sigh and steps out as well.
"I need to shower now, then prepare and eat for this evening's entertainment." Baby says. Johnny could hear the annoyance in her tone. He wanted to grab her into his arms and kiss her. But instead he says bye and walk to his cabin to get a shower as well. Baby looks after him and inhales deeply, she went for a shower and to satisfy her desire. She also did that every time she went for a shower. It's the only moment she's alone and no one disturbs her. She came and pants, she also could have went to one of the bungalow tigers, but that feels wrong and besides, she doesn't want to go into that direction anymore. She thinks about the moment at the lake, her desire starts to burn again. She thinks about what would have happened if she went back into the water and helped him. Her mind drifts off to his excitement, she has seen it often though acting as if she didn't. She wonders how big he is, she needed to help herself again.
The day of the Sheldrake has come. Lisa looks for Johnny and found him at the lake. He smiles as he sees her coming.
"Baby told me to get you and bring you to Rod." Lisa says.
"Why so?" He asks curiously, she smiles at him, they walk to the staff quarters.
"You're gonna try the suit on. Baby wants you to wear it for the show." Lisa says, he smiles. She watch his face.
"Why don't you just tell her your feelings?" She asks. He sighs, it's not the first time she's asking that.
"You know I can't Lisa. I don't want Baby to risk her job, I don't want her to lose it." He says, that wasn't the full truth. He's just scared of getting rejected.
"Something what's between four walls, doesn't have to come out you know." Lisa says with a wink, Johnny's confused about it.
Lisa opens the door of Rodriguez's cabin, he smiles as he sits straight now.
"Hey Lissy." He says and she smiles.
"Hey Rod, how are you feeling today?" She asks.
"A bit better, it hurts less now. Hey Johnny, you're ready for the show?" Rodriguez asks and smiles.
"Nervous, it's good to see you sitting straight now." Johnny says.
"Yeah, lying down got boring." Rodriguez says with a teasing tone.
"Take it easy though." Johnny says.
"Lissy, in the closet, the black outfit. Take it." Rodriguez says and Lisa went to the closet. Johnny waited.
"It's the outfit I always wear at the Sheldrake. I think it will fit you, we nearly have the same posture." Rodriguez says, Johnny only nods. Rodriguez is a little bigger than Johnny but he guesses it's from all the dancing. Lisa gives Johnny the outfit.
"I need to go again." Lisa says with a smile.
"Okay, see ya later Lissy." Rodriguez says.
"See ya." Johnny says, she walks away and Johnny looks at Rodriguez who looks after her.
"You like her?" Johnny asks, Rodriguez looks at Johnny and snorts a little.
"Baby has forbidden me." He says, Johnny chuckles a bit.
"If you love someone you should go for it." Johnny says as Rodriguez takes the outfit from Johnny and want him to put it on.
"When are you doing that Johnny?" Rodriguez asks, Johnny looks down.
"Look, I get you don't want to get her in trouble. That you want her to keep her job. That's really sweet Johnny, you try to protect her, but the staff can see how much you're in love with her." Johnny sighs deeply.
"Baby isn't as hard as she shows, she has a hard life and it's not easy to get into her heart but once you're in it, she'll show you how much she cares and loves you." Johnny looks up again.
"You think she loves me?" He asks a little astonished. Rodriguez looks at his face.
"You haven't notice it? Are you blind?" He asks and Johnny blushes.
"You don't have this from me, okay?" Rodriguez asks.
"What?" Johnny asks curiously.
"Baby likes you since the first moment she saw you. I can tell, I know her through and through. Penny has seen it as well. Even Lisa knows. You really need to tell her your feelings, because she'll never make that first step." Rodriguez says, Johnny thinks about what Rodriguez tells him. Could it really be? He could tell her and then finally have her, a wish he's having ever since he laid eyes on her. Rodriguez watches Johnny and smiles.
"Let's try it on." Rodriguez says. Johnny tries the outfit and smiles. It fits perfect and Rodriguez smiles.
"You look good Johnny, you'll sweep Baby off her feet." He has a teasing grin on his face and Johnny chuckles. He takes the clothes off again.
"Come here before you depart to the Sheldrake, you put them on here." Rodriguez says.
"Do I take them off here as well?" Johnny asks as he hangs the clothes up on the closet.
"No, you change in the car. It's a twenty minutes' drive, you don't have a chance to change there, so it's better to change in the car." Rodriguez explains. Johnny nods and walks to the door.
"I'll see you later, I'm going for lunch now." Johnny says.
"Have a nice lunch. See ya later." Rodriguez says, Johnny walks away and Rodriguez only smiles.
Johnny walks up the stairs to the restaurant when he sees the old couple coming outside. Mrs. Schumacher drops her purse and Johnny sees several wallets and knitting gear falling out. He quickly went to help her.
"Let me help you Mrs. Schumacher." Johnny says as he takes the wallets and puts them back in the purse.
"Thank you. I remember when my husband was your age." She says while pointing at Johnny's chest.
"He was so handsome! Like you!" She giggles a bit when Mr. Schumacher offers his arm to her. Johnny smiles as he watch them slowly going down the stairs while talking.
He went inside and sees his parents and brother sitting at the table already. He joins them and Marge smiles at him. Max and Sam came to join them, like they always do, every lunch. Jake really thinks that Sam and Johnny are sneaking off together, he smiles as he looks at Sam sitting next to Johnny now and she's trying to talk to him. Johnny's looking at his plate, trying to avoid Sam. Billy looks at his brother and he feels pity for Johnny. He knows now that it's Baby that Johnny has lost his heart to. Sam acting around him like she's his girlfriend must be truly annoying.
"What's your plan for this afternoon little brother?" Billy asks, Johnny looks at him and sees his smile. Not a teasing one this time, but a genuine one.
"I don't know yet brother, you?" Johnny asks as he takes a bite from his bagel.
"I might just take a walk, care to join me?" Billy asks as he stands up.
"Sure brother." Johnny stands up and follows Billy outside, thankful to be gone from Sam.
Billy walks slowly to the playfield, Johnny walks next to him, having his hands in his pockets. Billy looks at him with a smile.
"I know who she is little brother." Billy says, Johnny look at his brother and got a little scared. He sees Billy's genuine smile, no teasing grin or anything. He sighs and looks down.
"How did you found out?" Johnny asks.
"I followed you the day before yesterday." Billy simply answers, Johnny starts to blush and takes a deep breath.
"I can't blame you though, she's beautiful." Billy says, he has been watching Baby as often as he could when she was at work. Johnny blushes.
"She's more than that." He whispered now, Billy laid his arm around Johnny's neck and he keeps on smiling.
"Whatever you're doing, I think you should tell her how you feel." Billy says.
"I've heard that before." Johnny says and looks at his brother now.
"You never get a chance if you don't tell her." Billy says.
"She's off-limits Billy, the entertainment staff is not allowed to mingle with the guests, I mean getting involved with them. Only the waiters are." Johnny says, Billy's eyebrows went up.
"Really? That's a strange rule." Billy says, Johnny sighs again.
"I know, I don't want her to lose her job. Not now I'm helping her to keep it and to get her summer bonus." Johnny says and looked at the lake.
"Can you keep this to yourself brother?" Johnny asks after a moment of silence, looking at his brother again. Billy smiles at him.
"I will brother, but please to me a favor. Just tell her." Billy says. Johnny inhales deeply again and nods.
"I will try." He says, Billy smiles and pats Johnny's shoulder a few times.
"I wish I could fall in love like that." Billy says after several moments.
"You can brother, if you let someone in your heart. And not thinking about sex all the time." Johnny says.
"You seem to have trouble with that all the time little brother." Billy winks at Johnny, who starts to blush heavily now.
"Most of the times I've got no idea about my excitement, then I notice it after the lesson or practice." Johnny whispers and Billy laughs about that.
"You'll be fine brother." Billy says. Lisa sees the two guys and smiles. She walks to them. Johnny smiles at her. Lisa looks at Billy and wasn't sure if she could tell Johnny that Baby asks for him to come to the studio for practice before the show. Johnny looks at Billy as well.
"He knows, he'll keep it to himself." Johnny whispers, Lisa's cautious now.
"Baby wants you to go to the studio, last practice before the show." Lisa whispers, Johnny smiles.
"I'll go, please keep Billy company for a bit." Johnny whispers, she nods as she looks at Billy now. Billy's looking curious at them.
Johnny walks away and the two look after him.
"Hey, how are you?" Billy asks, not sure how to start a conversation.
"No flirting this time Billy?" Lisa asks and winks, he chuckles a bit and his cheeks flush a little. Lisa sees the reaction and smiles a little.
"What do you know?" Lisa asks curiously.
"Only that Johnny's helping Frances, the dance instructor, out and that is where he's disappearing to. To practice with her." Billy says, Lisa smiles a little and she walks slowly on. Billy follows her, putting his hands in his pockets.
"I think my little brother needs to tell her his feelings." Lisa chuckles a little as she looks at him with a smile.
"I'm serious Lisa. Every day when he comes back to the cabin, he takes a shower and relieves himself." Billy says, Lisa starts to laugh now.
"You're not the only one who sees that Billy." Lisa says and he looks curious at her. She sees his curiosity.
"What do you mean?" He asks.
"The whole entertainment staff sees how deeply in love he's with my sister." Lisa says with a chuckle.
"Your sister? Frances is your sister?" Billy asks. Lisa only nods.
"And she's doing the same as Johnny after every practice. In the shower." Lisa informed him, Billy starts to laugh.
"They need to get laid." They both start to laugh again.
"They should tell each other their feelings. They're perfect together." Lisa says with a little sigh.
"You think that?" Billy asks.
"I'm sure. Johnny needs Baby to stay in reality and Johnny is exactly what Baby needs when it comes to all the rest." Lisa says, she's still convinced about it. Billy watches her for some moments and sighs a little.
"I wish I could fall in love like him." Billy whispers. Lisa looks at him.
"You'll find that one day Billy, don't rush it." Lisa says as she lays her hand on his upper arm.
"I need to go now, before the little boss girl is going to fire me." Lisa says and walks away. He looks after her and takes a deep breath, he sees the goodness in Lisa and how much she cares about her sister. She might not be beautiful but she's for sure pretty and cute. He wonders if she's seeing someone.
