I do not own the characters from Dirty Dancing. Only the characters that I made up myself. This story is the sequel to Same People Different Story. I think the title is obvious. This story is 17 years after the first story, which means it's 2011. You will probably see some bits from the movie coming into this story.
Robin's view
Kids were coming inside, Baby walked to Emma who was blushing a bit. Baby smiled at her daughter. "Let's get started. Robin, if you want to do the music and then you can help us out if you want." Baby said. "Okay." I said and walked to the stereo system and took the remote. I thought about the dance I just did with Emma, how I felt her body against mine and it was driving me nuts. I never felt these feelings before and I was already amazed that she kissed me today for the first time, I'd never thought that this would happen to me and I have dreamed of it for so long now. I watch Emma helping the kids with the shoes and I smiled happily. I wish she knew how much I want to spent time with her.
I also never thought I would pursue dancing on this level. I love dancing, I love dancing with Emma in particular, it gives me such a great feeling when I dance with her and she's such a great dancer. I really thought that it would stay with dancing lessons until Emma moves up to competitions with someone who has more potential than me. Now that I'm training with her every day for the last 2 weeks for the competition, I know what I want. My mother is only letting me so I won't stay at home after school, she rather has me being outside with friends but I don't have much friends. Emma and even Jesse are more friends to me than Patrick is.
When I got the shoes from Johnny, who is unbelievable awesome, I wish I had a dad like him. I never knew my father, he left when mom was pregnant from me. She has a boyfriend from time to time but I didn't like any of them to call them 'dad', even if they wanted me to. Johnny is treating me like a son, he seems to love having me around Emma, you normally would think that fathers are so protective over their daughters. Johnny is different.
So, when I got the shoes and I putted them on, I was really amazed on how comfortable they are. Even walking on them feels very comfortable. Johnny told me to keep them on to get use to them, it would make dancing a lot easier. But to be honest, I never putted my other shoes on anymore. When I came back home the day I got them, and mom looked at it, she was tearing up. She asked me if I was gay and when I said I wasn't, she didn't believe me. It was upsetting to see that people mind what shoes someone is wearing. I still don't understand but I also don't care, so I keep wearing the shoes.
I wanted to be like Johnny, not in a wannabe way, but the type of person he is. He told me to put on tight shirts as well and get use to them for the Latin dance, I shouldn't be afraid to show what I have. I know that Emma is looking differently at me since I'm wearing them and the shoes, and not in a bad way at all. "Robin, turn the music on please." Baby said and I gave her a nod, I pressed a button and the playlist started, I watched how Johnny gave Baby a kiss, I saw him smiling and walking away. Guess he is going to pick up Jesse and Paul from school. I look back at Emma and saw her smiling at me, I smiled back, her smile makes my heart skipping a beating.
I took a deep breath and took a bottle of water, drinking a bit while thinking about the dancing we did right before the lesson. I never saw this dancing before, I watched how intense it was with Johnny and Baby. I felt shyness coming over me when Emma came to take me for dancing as well. I saw how Billy smiled about my face and told me to go and dance with her. 'Do they dance like this often?' I was thinking while looking at the kids dancing and Emma instructing them. I started to dream about a future with Emma again, I dream constantly about that. How would it be to have a life as a dance instructor here with Emma, or maybe to have our own school. But I didn't know what Emma's dreams were, except for the competition dancing. I know that's her biggest dream.
My phone buzzed and I took it out of my pocket. It was a message from my mother, asking me when I was coming home. It made me think for a bit, Baby came to me and sat down next to me. "Are you okay?" She asked, I looked at her and nodded. "Mom asks me when I'm back home, but I wanted to ask if I could stay here for today. I have a better concentration here than at home, not for mom but she won't let me focus on the competition." I said and looked at my phone again. Baby laid her hand on my shoulder and I look at her again.
"Ask your mom first. You are always welcome here, we're going to have pizza today, I know it's bad but it's fun and the relaxation is much needed before tomorrow." Baby said and I smiled now. "I will ask mom. Thanks for being so open and welcoming." I said and looked down for a bit. "Anything for family, you are like family to us now. Is your mom coming to watch you tomorrow and Sunday?" Baby asked. "I don't know, I haven't asked her yet, you know what she thinks of me dancing." I said and gave a deep sigh. "That's a reason she should come and watch you, you're a great dancer Robin." Baby said to me.
"Thanks, but I don't think I am." I said. "If I would think you weren't, I would have never suggested you to be Em's dance partner. I can see talent." Baby said and she winked at me. "I will never be as great as Johnny." I whispered, Baby smiled and she looked at the kids for a moment. "You can be as great, you just need to keep on dancing." Baby said. "You think?" I asked. "Yeah, you have passion. I can see it, not only for dancing but also for my daughter, she has passion. The same as you, you 2 are doing better each day." Baby said. "You love her?" She asked after a moment, I looked at Emma again and saw her smile, her eyes twinkling when she's busy with dancing and instructing. "Yeah, I do. But I'm not sure if it's likewise." I whispered and took a deep breath.
Baby smiled and stood up. "Only 1 way to find out." Baby said and I looked at her. "And if you really want to be the person Johnny is." Baby said, I waited her to go on. "Be a gentleman, that's what a girl needs. Loving and caring, soft on the inside, manly and protective on the outside. Let her feel loved and safe." Baby said. "That's all I can say." She added and gave me a wink, I smiled a little and she walked to the kids. I quickly wrote a message to my mom.
Please do tell me what you think, I hope you like it and that you want to know more. Let me know your opinion.
