"Oh fuck! Don't stop!"
"You like that?"
"Shit, please don't stop!"
"You feel so good baby, so damn good"
"Right there... just... ohhhh!"
"Yeah, that's right baby. Come for me. Come all over thi-"
"FUCKKK!"
Their moans and grunts fill the room as her legs wrap tighter around his waist, trying to hold him in place. He flips them over, him on his back while she lays on his chest. His lips linger on her neck, his tongue tracing along her skin.
"What are you doing?", she giggles.
"What does it look like?", his words muffled.
"We can't..."
"And why not?"
"Because..."
"Because what?", his hand caressing her lower back.
"Because we're gonna be late."
"Let's be late..."
"No! Liv would kill me! I'm already breaking the 'no sex before a performance' rule"
"Dumb rule"
She smiled, placing a kiss on his lips before gathering the sheet around her body, climbing off of him and on to the floor.
"Wanna join me in the shower?"
"You don't even have to ask"
An hour and a half later, Abby strolled into the dance studio. She hadn't made it far before Nichelle popped out from nowhere, frightening her.
"Shit, Nich, you seriously almost killed me."
"Oh trust me, I'm not the one you should be worried about. You're late!"
"I know..."
"And you look thoroughly fucked. You broke the rule, you know Liv is gonna kill you, right?"
"Dumb rule. Why do we even have that rule?"
"Because! You get you some good good and stroll in late, with love marks and those eyes lit up like the sky. You're so focused on sex, you fuck up the performance and you will NOT fuck it up today Abigail!"
"I got it, I got it! Sheesh! Where's Liv?"
"In hair and makeup, where you should have been forty-five minutes ago!"
Abby walks into the back dressing area, making her way through the unexpected crowd of hair and makeup people employed by Hypetown. After exchanging fake "Good Morning!" and "Hello!" to nearly fifty strange faces, Abby finally found Olivia, who was seated in a chair with three women working on her appearance.
She opened her mouth to say one more "Good morning", when Olivia cut her off.
"You're late"
"I'm sorry"
"And you broke my rule"
"How'd you...", her cheeks flushed pink.
"Abby, say hi to Tammy", Olivia referred to the woman who was dipping a brush into a little container before dabbing the red lipstick softly on Olivia's bottom lip.
"Hi Tammy", Abby turned to the woman, who returned her greeting with a smile.
"Everyone agrees that Tammy is the best artist out of the bunch and she was specifically reserved for you, Nichelle, and I. Tammy, when you have the chance to get to Abby this morning, please make sure those faint bite marks she tried to cover with concealer are properly hidden from the bright camera lights..."
"Will do, Ms. Pope"
"Tammy, please, it's just Olivia. Abby, grab a chair. They'll be finished with me soon". Abby nodded quietly, sinking herself into seat next to Olivia.
"Hey ladies, have you seen Olivia?", a crew member who was obviously overwhelmed by the madness but was still trying to keep his composure asked Nichelle and Abby.
"She's putting the finishing touches on her outfit", Nichelle answered as Abby nodded, sipping her coffee carefully, trying not to ruin her makeup.
"I'm right here!", Olivia said, walking from the dressing room.
"Olivia, you ladies look fantastic! We've got the interview set up, cameras start rolling in a few minutes, okay?" The women nodded, making their way over to the mini dance room, where the interview was being held. After they were seated and instructed on posture and which way to keep their bodies turned so they were visible for the camera, the interview began.
Interviewer: Hello Hypetown Hypees! It's Michael Carter and I'm here with the lovely ladies of the dance studio, "The O&C". Good morning ladies! Please, introduce yourselves.
Olivia: Hey everyone, I'm Olivia…
Abby: I'm Abby…
Nichelle: and I'm Nichelle!
In unison: Good Morning Hypees!
The women all smile, waving to the cameras
Michael: Great, now that we've got the intro out of the way, how about we give a little insight on what you ladies call, "The O&C". Olivia here is the founder. Please, tell us more about what you ladies do here.
Olivia: Well, when I first came up with the idea of The O&C, it was supposed to be just a small dance studio. I wanted something where I could come and hang out with my friends and we could dance all day long. We're a dancing family.
She smiled, looking over at Nichelle and Abby.
Olivia: I've always wanted to be a dancer, whether it was background or choreography. We would have the music playing loud and people would walk by and see us dancing and started coming in to dance too. Eventually, we decided we would just turn it into a dance studio for the public. We split up and decided to teach our classes based on our skills.
Michael: And what classes do you guys offer?
Olivia looks over at Abby, signaling for her to answer the question first.
Abby: Well, we're all responsible for two class. I teach Pop and Latin…
Nichelle: I teach Pole and Stiletto dancing
Olivia: I run a fitness camp, one for men and one for women.
Nichelle: and together, we run the R&B and Hip Hop class, as well as a Teen Camp in the summer.
Michael: That's a lot! How do you guys make sure everything runs smoothly?
Abby: Well, we have three dance rooms; the main one, which is huge and where we will be performing today. Then, we have two mini rooms and we're sitting in one of the mini rooms right now.
Nichelle: Abby's classes are in this mini room. Mine are held in the other mini room, where we have the poles put up.
Olivia: And my fitness classes are held in the main dance room, simply because it gives everyone enough space to move around. We also hold the R&B and Hip Hop classes, as well as the Teen Camp in the main room because of such a huge turn out.
Michael: Is there a dancing schedule? How do you guys know what you want to teach? Or is everything at random?
In unison: The Box!
He's a bit startled at all of them answering at once. He looks at them, a bit confused, before he continues.
Michael: The Box?
Olivia: Yes! The Box was Quinn's idea. Quinn honey, come over here!
She calls out the Quinn, who was nearby watching the interview. Nervously, Quinn walks over to the girls, and a crew member hurriedly rushes in, placing a chair for her to sit down.
Abby: Quinnie! Say hi!
Quinn: Hi everyone, I'm Quinn!
Nichelle: We love Quinn!
The girls giggle and Quinn smiles, her cheeks a bright pink from the spotlight suddenly being placed on her.
Michael: Hello Quinn. What is it that you do here at The O&C?
Quinn: Umm.. well… I'm a receptionist. I really don't do much
She laughs nervously.
Olivia: She's being modest you guys. Quinn is the reason why the whole operation runs smoothly. She came in as a student looking for an interning position about two years ago. She helps with everything: from the paperwork for new members, to setting our calenders. She's a HUGE help!
Abby: And she came up with The Box! Go ahead Quinn, tell them what The Box is..
Quinn: Well, The Box is a suggestion box. There's one for each dance group. Anyone can drop a slip of paper with a suggestion in the box and each month we pull and we agree on if that's the month's focus or not.
Michael: And what are you guys working on this month?
Nichelle: Twerking. Suggested by Quinn.
Michael: I'd love to see that in action!
The five of them laugh at Michael's comment.
Michael: Now, here's a question that I've been DYING to ask. Where in the world did the name The O&C come from?
The women all turn their attention to Olivia, who begins smiling.
Olivia: It actually stands for The Oliver & Company.
Michael: Is Oliver your father's name?
Olivia: I get that all the time. Surprisingly, no. It was named after Olivier & Company, one of my favorite movies growing up. It's also a play on my name. Olivia & Company would have sounded like I ran the whole show, which I don't. These three women here are my gladiators, we dominate this together. Without them, I'd be nothing. I couldn't take all the praise for myself. And of course, where would I be without the people who come in and let us bestow our gifts unto them?
Michael: Great answer. So, here's a game we like to play. Well, it's not a real game, but it's just a little something something we like to do, just to get a feel of those we interview. Basically, I want each of you to name a strength of each other.
The girls all nod their heads.
Michael: Good, how about we start with Quinn here.
Abby: Quinn's super smart. Our little brainiac.
Nichelle: So sweet, so kind...
Olivia: Beautiful person, inside and out...
Michael: Now, Nichelle...
Abby: Nich is a lot of fun to be around!
Quinn: She's really outspoken...
Olivia: Nich takes nonsense from no one. Fearless.
Michael: Abby?
Quinn: She very dedicated..
Nichelle: And devoted!
Olivia: And she's very loyal
Michael: And last but not least, Olivia..
Quinn: So talented, oh so talented.
Nichelle: Liv is very generous...
Abby: Such a humble person...
Michael: You all have some nice things to say about each other. It's really nice to see how well you all get along.
Quinn: Being around these girls day in and day out, we were bound to have some sort of bond.
Nichelle: Definitely. Abby, Olivia, and I have known each other forever, and Quinn fit right in with us.
Abby: These girls are like my sisters.
She winks to them, and they all giggle.
Olivia: We're a family. Genetics couldn't make us any closer.
Michael: Well ladies of The O&C, it was great to meet all of you. Thank you for sharing yourself with us and our fans.
Olivia: No Michael, thank you. Thank you so much for letting us share.
In unison: Bye Hypees!
AN: I know, I promised more frequent updates, but I've been super busy with all the Christmas shopping and what not. I'm so glad Christmas is finally over lol. AND I got the gift I truly wanted! I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a good one this year, and a Happy Holidays to the rest of you all! So, this chapter was no Olitz, and I know you guys might be a bit upset, but again, I found a chapter getting too long with no good flow, so I had to cut it short. This totally means that a new update will be coming much quicker lol. Anywho, I hope you've all enjoyed this one!
