"Good job today class, we'll pick up were we left off next week at seven in
the morning," Crystal tried to get through to the class of dancers that
ranged from early teens to mid-sixties.
After everyone was gone, she had an hour to relax before the next class, which was one of her favorites--swing dancing. She began sweeping up the floor listening to "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top, but before they even started singing, she heard a tapping on the glass door.
She pressed stop on the stereo that sat atop a chair located in front of the mirrors and before she turned, she glanced into the mirror to see who was behind her at the door.
There stood Lex, with his hands casually snug in his pockets. She had the look of disbelief written all over her face, but she still came over and opened the door.
"What are you doing here?" She sounded nothing but curious.
"I just wanted to ask you something."
She smiled, pulled him inside the studio and went back to her stereo, pressing play. "Not until after this song, and once you take off your shoes, they'll scuff up the wood."
The guitar solo at the beginning played as she hummed along, dancing with the broom and continuing sweeping.
Lex simply jotted his toe against his heel and slipped off a shoe, repeating the process with the other.
The man on ZZ Top began singing about clean shirts, new shoes, silk suits, black ties and crazy girls. Crystal sang to a part into the broom as if it were a microphone, "Every girl goes crazy 'bout sharp dressed man!"
She used the broom as a pseudo guitar for the next guitar solo and she sang the rest into the mirror as if it were an audience, then went for the solo again.
Lex just watched with an amused look on his face. Once the music faded out, she looked over to Lex and bared a broad smile as he clapped.
"Liked the song?" Crystal asked while catching her breath.
"Liked the view," Lex said candidly, placing his hands back in his pockets.
She blushed slightly and smiled even more.
Once the moment passed, Lex cleared his throat and said, "I came here to ask if you would like~" "Wait," Crystal said quickly, turning to the stereo and putting in another tape, "Dance with me Lex."
Lex just raised his eyebrows.
"Do you know how to swing?" She said, pressing play. "With me, you have to hold off questions and problems until after you dance." Crystal began snapping her fingers to the beat of Jump Jive and Wail.
She spun, finally getting to Lex's attention that she was wearing a knee- length skirt, fitting into the song perfectly, as well as her body too. It spun around her, making her rather tan legs visible with bare feet keeping up with her twists.
She made it over to Lex and took him by the arms, coaxing his hands out of his pockets. He couldn't help smiling and letting out a faint laugh.
Crystal took his hands in hers, weaving their fingers together. She pulled him towards her, making him go to her shoulder, and repeating the process with the other side.
Lex was actually getting into the music. He spun her to the beat and both flailed their legs like any other swinger would. They were so into it that Lex didn't see her jumping towards him, but caught her just in time. She wrapped her legs around him, but the beat kept going, making his dance lessons kick in and he swung her up, away from him, bringing her down immediately and skillfully. She swung and slid between his legs, coming back up quickly.
For the last couple seconds of the songs, they spun to the beat, clapped to the beat and swing tangoed to the beat. When the song faded out they panted together, smiling like little kids, arms folded around each other, faces inches apart.
Once their breath had come back to its normal pace, Crystal said, "So now that we've danced, and might I add that you've proven yourself worthy, what was it that you were going to ask?"
"Huhn? Oh." Lex was paying little attention to her words and more towards how beautiful her striking green eyes were, "I was wondering.would you like to accompany me to a ball tonight?"
