A/N: okie dokey. Here is another chapter. Sorry it took so long..this takes longer than it has a right to take sometimes and I've been pretty swamped lately..well hope you enjoy!
.:Chapter 9:.
.:Keira's POV:.
I walked back with Elisa, who was oddly quiet. Carlos had left for the night and Pablo had stayed at La Rosa Negra with his friends. When we walked into the house, Elisa looked at me. "Why do you hurt my brother like that?" She asked me in Spanish.
I frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Elisa put her hands on her hips. "You know what I mean! You were there the whole night with that man! Pablo saw you!" She shouted.
I was in shock. "Well I hadn't gone there to dance with Pablo…" I said uncertainly. Elisa shook her head and stormed off to her room, muttering to herself in Spanish that I didn't pick up fast enough.
.:Normal POV:.
Pablo walked inside and peeked into the living room, happy to see Keira there. He had not known if she would have gone off somewhere with that man or not. He walked into the living room and pulled the blanket over top of her. She woke up and half sat up just as Pablo began retreating. "I'm sorry." He murmured in his heavy accent. "Go back to sleep." Keira shook her head. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" She asked quietly. Pablo sat down on the couch when Keira curled up her legs so he could sit down. She played with the tassels on the blanket. "I'm sorry if I hurt you…"
Pablo frowned. "What do you mean?"
Keira shifted uncomfortably. "Elisa said you were upset because I was dancing with Carlos…I wanted to apologize for making you upset…you hadn't asked to dance so I assumed you didn't want to…"
Pablo laid a hand on her shoulder. "Hey. I'm not upset. You shouldn't have to only dance with one person. And I wouldn't expect you to dance with me especially after what…happened last time…" He said, looking down at his hands.
Keira laughed. "Looks like we both have things to feel bad for…shall we wipe the slate clean?" She asked with a smile.
Pablo nodded with a grateful smile. "Sounds like a plan."
Keira gave him a small hug and he went pink, looking away slightly. Keira pulled something out of her purse. "Pablo…I need your help." She said quietly.
Pablo glanced over. "I thought I was already helping you…"
Keira laughed. "That was just learning to dance…but I found something much more important. I realized that my marks aren't good enough to get me into University…especially ones my mother wants me to go to. But there is this huge dance contest that, if I enter and win, I could get a full scholarship for any university of my choice." She said quietly. "The only problem is, there is only an opening for the Latin Ballroom spot."
Pablo looked over at her. "So what you are intending is that you need a partner and to learn how to dance it." Keira nodded meekly and Pablo smiled. "Well I guess I could teach you…" His sentence was cut off by Keira's cry of glee and her hugging him so tight his breath wheezed out of his lungs. He chuckled slightly and hugged her back, aware of how close she was to him and that she was only wearing a large, silky blouse and a slip skirt.
Keira pulled back and looked at his pink face. "What?" Pablo shook his head so Keira hugged him again. "When can we start?"
Pablo thought. "Well how about tomorrow? I don't work after lunch tomorrow."
Keira nodded with a smile so Pablo bade her good night and went to his room. Keira lay back down with a big smile on her face, hugging herself happily.
