Discliamer: I don't own Ryan Wolfe.

This is jtogofan's request. Sorry it took so long. Wrote other stuff!

Dance the night away

It had been two months since Ryan's birthday. The nagging from his Mom now came daily. She wanted him to use the gift certificate she'd given him for his birthday. Ryan was unsure. His Mom always gave him the weirdest gifts. Well it wasn't weird, but not something he'd have chosen. He'd thanked her, sure, but he was bewildered by her choice. She'd noticed the slightly doubtful tone in his voice when he'd been on the telephone offering his gratitude for the gift.

"Ryan," she'd said, "You have two left feet, it needs to be sorted out."

He'd laughed, still unsure.

She continued, "How are you going to dance at your wedding if you don't know how."

'My wedding?' He'd thought to himself, his Mom knew he didn't even have a girlfriend.

"Okay Mom, thank you." He knew she wouldn't get off the line unless he agreed to use the certificate. But no one dances the cha cha at their wedding anyway!

Well today was the day, in the end his Mom had booked the time. She'd managed to get out of him when he was available under false pretences. She'd told him that they needed to spend time together, she'd duped him.

-oOo-

Ryan cautiously entered the room. It wasn't big. He looked around, there was no one there. He turned to leave and walked right into someone.

"I am sooo sorry!" He said, grabbing hold of her as she stumbled. He smiled, she was pretty cute. "So you here for the cha cha lesson?" He asked, now wanting to stay.

"I sure am," she replied, "I'm Celine." She offered her hand.

Ryan looked at it, she had nice hands, then took it and gently shook, "Ryan, Ryan Wolfe."

"Oh, sorry, I know who you are. I'm your teacher, this is a one on one session."

Ryan's mouth fell open. His mother had a lot to answer for. "One on one? Um... okay." If she was trying to matchmake... well, actually, she had made a pretty good choice.

"So, your Mom said you have two left feet."

Ryan blushed. 'Thanks then Mom, again!' he thought, but said, "Yeah, I've never really had to dance. I'd love to learn." He gushed.

"Funny, your Mom said you were unsure about coming and she'd had to force you."

Ryan blushed, 'darn you Mom!'

"Okay, yeah, because I was nervous. Now I'm here, I want to make the best out of it."

"Good answer!"

They both laughed. With the ice broken Ryan found it so much easier to relax. He didn't even tread on her toes that often. Celine was a good teacher and very soon he had the basics down. He could do a simple cha cha with her help. He was really proud of himself. When the ninety minutes was up, he was a little disappointed.

"That was fun." He told her appreciatively.

She nodded, it had been fun.

-oOo-

Ryan started to get his things together, he wanted to ask her to go for a coffee or something. He wasn't sure if she'd say yes and he didn't want to make a fool of himself. He finally got up the courage and turned around. She was gone.

Ryan walked back to his car. He had a glum look on his face. Why did he always over think things? If he'd asked her right away she might have said yes. She may have said no also, but now he'd never know.

"Ryan." A voice called from behind him.

He turned around and smiled, "Celine, I thought you left."

"I went to get my bookings diary. You have another ninety minutes on your certificate!"

Ryan looked at her, "you know, I really enjoyed myself, but I don't think the Cha Cha is for me."

Celine's face fell. Ryan cheered on the inside, she was forlorn he wasn't re-booking.

"But I'd like to see you again. Would you like to join me for coffee right now. Then we can 'schedule' in a date maybe." Ryan asked her, hoping he didn't look too sure of himself.

"Oh!" She sounded surprised.

"If you don't want to..."

"No, I mean yes, yea, um I want to. Let me go get my things." Celine rushed off to grab her stuff.

Ryan waited patiently by his car, when she returned he opened the door for her. She smiled at him as she climbed in. Ryan grinned broadly. It seems sometimes Moms are right... and gift certificates can give you more than what the description on the back says.

Not very long, but I thought a little cute... maybes! Reviews welcome. I think I have one more request but I'm not sure... so requests would be good. Though I am planning on starting my new Miami fic soon. Thanks to you guys who have me on alert, faves, etc...
