Chapter 7: Practice makes perfect.
( just so you know this takes place over a few days but I'm too lazy so these will be snippets from each day, in a random order.)
"no! no! no! what are you stupid! I said step step twist! Not step step grimace and bend your spine! I thought you said you knew how to do this!"
"it's been a while." Said Kai through gritted teeth.
For two days he had been in intense dancing lessons. He been dragged awake at 6 in the morning and tossed back into bed as dawn graced the sky. Every single bone in his body ached. However he was used to that, his training as a beyblader had taught him strict discipline. Though, he admitted privately to himself, dancing was a lot harder than it appeared to be. But it was not the physical punishment to his body that he disliked, it was the attitude of the other dancers. The Coven was desperate for him to be able to do this, they needed him to succeed, and consequently pushed him hard. Luc and Carmen particulary got on his case. Every move he made they critcised, nothing was good enough for them and they let him know it. Had it been just them he was working with he would have walked (or rather limped) out a long time ago. However there were other dancers in the troop. Gwen was sweet to him, grateful, and often slowed things down when she saw he was getting too tired. She also showed him stretches to improve his performance and ease the ache in his limbs. She also prescribed certain lotions that helped flexibility, soothed tired limbs and helped muscles relax. He liked Gwen. Though sometimes she would look at him and then smile this great Cheshire ct grin that he didn't really understand. Gadget too, was kind. He often covered up Kais mistakes and wisecracked at Luc and Carmen's expense just when Kai thought he would explode at them. However it was his partner whom Kai felt the most affection for. Though he would die before he would admit it.
"Guys go easy on him. He hasn't done this for years, he's made amazing progress and you lot know it." Sophie told her friends crossly. Then she beamed at Kai. He felt his knees go weak. "do you want to try that again?" she asked. He just nodded.
She was always like this, gentle but a fierce defender of him when she thought the others were being out of line. A innocent soul who willingly put her fragile body in his arms and trusted him not to damage it. All she had been to him since he arrived is sweet, playful and faithful. She believed that he could do this and he tried his hardest to prove her trust.
At first he had found her faith in him disconcerting. He had become so klutzy, tongue tied and cold that Luc had thrown up his hands and despaired of him, as had secretly the others. Yet still she stubbornly stayed by his side and had gone through the motions again and again, refusing to give up on him, and first gradually, then rapidly it had all come back to him and he found himself dancing better and better whilst Sophie smiled at him and laughed delightedly and triumphantly.
Kai smiled at the rememberance and then his expression saddened as he another memory came to life.
"I don't think Kai likes me very much."
Kai froze as he heard these words, he recognised that voice, pressing himself against the wall he peered round the corner, there was Sophie and the Bladebreakers talking.
"Why do you think that sof?" Rei asked
"yes why?" thought Ka, "wait did Ray just call Sophie 'Sof' I've never called her that" jealousy ran through his body.
"because he never talks to me, when we're dancing I mean, or any other time for that matter." Sophie explained
"oh that's just Kai." Laughed off Tyson
"are you sure? He acts so cold"
"posistive .he always acts that way, I'm sure he like syou really."
"hmmmm"
" oh sof, how could kai not love someone as wonderful and gorgeous as you?" enthused Max
"that's very sweet of you Max, and now that you put it that way I'm sure you're right"laughed sophie as she grabbed him and planted a kiss on his cheek. (note to all readers, friend kiss no romance whatsoever)
If Kai thought he was jealous before when Ray called her sof that was nothing compared to what he felt when he saw sophie kiss Max. When the red mist finally cleared from his eyes he felt guilty, he hadn't meant to act so cold, he just got nervous around her and didn't know how to act. From then on he made a determined effort to talk to her more.
"Kai are you paying attention?"
"Of course he is, stop getting on his case!"
"Sophie as much as your sweetness and light act is adorable, butt out. The rookie needs to know this if he isn't going to embarrass us in front of everyone."
"well, we wouldn't be risking this if someone's stupid male ego hadn't prevented him from seeing a doctor and thus putting the entire troupe in danger." She glared at Luc. He blushed and looked away. Kai grinned, oh how long had he wanted to say that.
"ready sweetheart?" she winked at him
She called me sweetheart, SHE CALLED ME SWEETHEART! "Uh Huh"
As kai swept her off her feet and caught her in his arms their faces were so close that a deep breath would have made their lips touch. But nothing happened, nothing ever did. Over the past few days Kai pretty much knew every bit of her body ( if you've seen latin dancing you'll understand it) but only in the strictest possible sense. Beyond dancing they maintained a formal distance. Well, except for that once..
It had been a hard mornings work, Kai was stiff all over and could barely walk. He hobbled over to the drinks table where Sophie followed him. "are you alright" she asked concernedly, he just nodded, he didn't want her to think he was a weakling. Then he grimaced, even nodding hurt. Sophie's face took on a set expression. "come" she said and took his hand. She led he to the side of the room and sat donw on the floor, "sit" she ordered, as he did so, too tired to argue, she said "no, with your back to me", at his expression she smiled and said "trust me". So, warily, he did. He could feel her gaze boring into his back, and he was just about to say something when she abruptly said "take off your shirt.
"what!"
"take it off"
"but"
"now"
As he eased his shirt over his head he was thankful that she couldn't see his face as he was blushing madly.
"hmmmm"
"ah! Wha.what are you doing!"
"giving you a massage, no wonder you hurt so much, you're so tense. Relax, lean back and close your eyes."
Kai did as he was ordered (wow that must have been some lesson if he's this tired). As embarrassed as he was he couldn't help enjoying the feel of her hands caressing his skin, he felt his muscles relax and unknowingly leant right back into Sophie. He didn't hear her small sharp intake of breath.
"mhmmm"
"glad to see you're enjoying yourself" Sophie whispered in his ear.
"huh?oh!" he sat bolt upright as he realised what he had done. He began to move away, apologising as he did so.
"no, don't go. I didn't mean to embarrass you, I was only teasing" sophie explained. She grabbed hold of his arm, "please stay"
kai looked at her then moved back towards her. When he tentavily leaned back she pulled him tighter against her then once again began massaging him. As he moaned in pleasure she smiled and leaned closer to him. Unbeknownst to her as she worked Kai opened his eyes and stared at her, he could smell her sweet scent and it intoxicated him , when she felt his gazed on her she looked up and met it. She stopped , entrapped by his gaze. He reached up and encircled her neck with his arm, then slowly they leaned towards each other. Just as their lips were about to brush, Luc burst through the door and they leapt guiltily apart. Since that day nothing else had happened and neither of them had spoken of it. Though both remembered it vividly. "Do you like this song Kai?" sophie asked as he spun her round
"yes" he answered simply. " I like the lyrics" how true they are, he though to himself.
Every time our eyes meet This feeling inside me Is almost more than I can take Baby when you touch me I can feel how much you love me And it just blows me away I've never been this close to anyone or anything I can hear your thoughts I can see your dreams [pic] I don't know how you do what you do I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side Forever and ever Every little thing that you do Baby I'm amazed by you [pic] The smell of your skin The taste of your kiss The way you whisper in the dark Your hair all around me, baby you surround me You touch everyplace in my heart Oh, it feels like the first time every time I wanna spent the whole night in your eyes [pic] I don't know how you do what you do I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side Forever and ever Every little thing that you do Baby I'm amazed by you [pic] Every little thing that you do I'm so in love with you It just keeps getting better I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side Forever and ever Every little thing that you do Oh, every little thing that you do Baby I'm amazed by you
"well that's it for today" Carmen said abruptly shutting off the music, "tomorrow is our last day to practise. I hope you can pull this off for all our sakes Kai."
"I will" He looked at Sophie, "for you I will."
Sophie: Hey everyone dreamer wud like you to know
