Chapter 9 – The Show
"How do I look?" Rachel asked excitedly as she turned about infront of the mirror in her bedroom. She was dressed in white baggy trousers and then had a green halterneck on. Her hair was held up high in a curly ponytail and her brown eyes looked much bigger with the eyeliner she had. Her lips where painted in brown.
"You look perfect!" Jan exclaimed, as she admired her bestfriend. Jan was wearing just like Rachel except that she had a blue shirt instead. Jan had her hair just like Rachel's but her hair was yellow.
"Well so do you," Rachel said truthfully. She then looked at her watch and muttered, "Well let's go! It's time. In an hour we shall be dancing gracefully for Adriano Diaz' Concert!"
The two giggled and together left Rachel's apartment.
-----
The fresh breeze around us
Locks my body with yours
I ignore everything around us
I ignore all the noise
I just dance
Me and you against the music
Dance
There's no need for logic
Just dance
Lost in a world of our own
Dance
Lost in this magic
Adriano was singing on stage with his dancers accompanying him with dancing. The concert was a huge success and girls where screaming like mad for Adriano. Rachel was very happy for him and danced her best for him.
At last the concert ended and Adriano sang the last song. Girls had practically gone mad and anyone could see that Adriano liked this. As he finished his last song screams echoed throughout the place and Adriano bowed. He left the stage and so did the dancers.
As Adriano was drinking a glass of water Rachel moved forward to congratulate him,
"Hey, that was wonderful show!" she said with a smile.
"Oh thanks!" Adriano said as he gave her his back and started talking with his make-up artist. Rachel felt annoyed with his behaviour and added,
"Well see you outside!"
But he was not even taking notice of her and walked away without even talking to her. Rachel thought, 'oh maybe he's just excited about the show that's all!'
She had something to drink and at last said bye to everyone. She waited by the door for Adriano. She watched as people gradually left and so did the dancers. At last only the make-up artists, hair-dressers and the presenters of the show went out, and … There was Adriano too, but he was with two other girls. He had his arms around them and the three were laughing. Adriano walked away leaving Rachel staring at him. Rachel suddenly felt angry and offended and as she frowned she turned to walk away but found a guy standing behind her.
"I came to watch the show."
'It's the guy from the supermarket!' Rachel thought as she asked,
"You managed to find tickets?"
"Yeah of course! Well, they weren't at the front obviously but I still managed to see you. You know, I liked what I saw," he then added in a sexy tone.
Rachel blushed and said, "That's good to hear."
"Yeah of course," Harry said as he smiled. "Anyway, I'm Harry, please to meet you."
Harry held out his hand and Rachel shook it, "I'm Rachel."
"Nice name!"
"Thanks!" Rachel added with a grin.
"So erm... wanna go for a drink?" Harry asked tentatively. Rachel knew that she was not in the mood to got out after Adriano's complete disregard of her but answered automatically,
"Yeah sure I'd like that!"
Harry let out a breathe of relief and said, "Great! I know a Café where we can have something!"
"Yeah sure," Rachel said as she shrugged with a smile. "Let's go."
The two walked to the Café and in the mean time talked a bit about their life. Harry had told Rachel that he was a nurse and worked at the Local Hospital. Rachel obviously believed all this. They also talked about family and Rachel admitted that she was an orphan. But ever since she was 5, she used to dance and at last she had started working as a waitress and with her wage used to go for dancing lessons. That was how she had managed to start dancing with Adriano.
Harry listened with interest and as the two got quite close enough he realised how much she was Ginny. Harry laughed as he heard himself say this. Rachel saw him grin and asked him,
"Don't you agree with what I said?"
"Oh of course I do!" Harry said as he defended himself.
"Oh ok," Rachel said and smiled. "Oh look at the time! It's alright half past midnight! I have to get home."
"Hell right. Time flies when you're enjoying yourself!"
"It's true. It actually did for me."
"So did for me," Harry said with a smile as the two walked down the stairs of the Underground. "For where you heading?"
"Oh I live at Kings Cross!" Rachel exclaimed, "It's only 3 stops away from here! What about you?"
"I have to go all the way to Richmond," Harry said with a fake groan.
"God that's a long way! That's about 25 stops! And you gotta have to change the lines. It'll take you about an hour to get to Richmond from Seven Sisters!"
"Oh I know. I'll probably sleep on the train!" Harry said as he yawned.
"Listen come over at my place for tonight. I do have a small spare room you can sleep in!"
"Oh no that'd be rude!"
"No it isn't," Rachel insisted. "You've got such a long way from here to Richmond. God it's 25 stops!"
"I know but I don't think it's right."
"Listen Har, there's nothing wrong," Rachel said with a smile. "We're friends now. You know all about my life and I know about yours. There's nothing to make you nerve-wrecked. I insist."
"Do you actually take in strangers in this way?" Harry joked.
"But you're no stranger. I feel like as if I known for years!" Rachel exclaimed. "You're coming at mine right?"
"K, thanks loads!"
"It's nothing," Rachel smiled and the two made their way to catch the Victoria Lane.

"Such a cute place you got!" Harry said as the two finished the apartment tour and were on the couch drinking coffee.
"Yeah I like it. It's not too expensive and besides it's home!" Rachel said with a grin.
"You have a nice smile," Harry muttered.
"Thanks," Rachel said as she blushed. "You've got beautiful eyes."
"Thanks," Harry mimicked and the girl threw him a cushion. Harry laughed and the two put their empty mugs on the coffee table and Harry started tickling Rachel. As Harry did this and he heard Rachel's laughter he imagined Ginny and him in the past. He laughed harder than her and at last muttered, "I missed you Gin."
Rachel pulled back from him and in a strange voice asked,
"What was this?"
"Oh I'm sorry it's just that you remind of my teenage girlfriend. I used to tickle her in that way you know. We were great together. She's Ginny."
"Oh I see!" Rachel answered.
"She looks just like you."
"Oh," was all Rachel muttered but then smiled. "Anyway let's go sleep!"
"Yeah it's late."
Rachel motioned Harry in his room.
"Well goodnight," she muttered.
"Yeah same to you. And thanks!" he added and then gave her a friendly peck on her cheek. "See you tomorrow!"
"Yeah," Rachel answered breathlessly and as if walking on clouds she went to her room.
-----
Next morning the two were having breakfast when the telephone rang.
"Gimme a sec please," Rachel told Harry and ran to answer. Harry could see her nod and as soon she was back she sat and said,
"There's gonna be a celebration party for yesterday's concert."
"Oh that's good."
"Yeah! Wanna come? We can have friends with us!"
"Oh no, that'd be too much," Harry said truthfully.
"What do you mean?" Rachel asked surprised.
"It's already enough that I slept here today. I can't even go to the party with you."
"Oh come on!"
"I can't," Harry said with a grin. "Besides I don't have any clothes!"
"Well ok," Rachel answered in a defeated voice.
"Maybe I'll come but later. I won't come from the beginning."
Rachel's face lit and she exclaimed, "That's great! The party's gonna be at our dance studio. Do you know where it is?"
"You mean Adriano Diaz studio thing?"
"Yeah yeah," Rachel said excitedly.
"I know where it is, sure. I'll see you then!"
"Yes."
"Well I'm off now, see ya tonight maybe!"
"The party is at 8."
"K, see ya and thanks loads!" Harry said as the two were by the door.
"It was nothing," Rachel said. "See you tonight!"
"Sure!" and Harry left.
Rachel watched as the door closed and suddenly felt very lonely. The few hours she had spent with Harry had made her feel so much better and she liked it.
