Dance Like Nobody's Watching

Chapter Two: Celebrating

I own nothing except for my original characters

Ricky's place was packed when they got there, though with how often The Mob comes to Ricky's, it's always packed more or less. Brynn could easily spot the crew without having to try too hard, they were all standing in a big group and looked a bit out of place in their bright colored tank tops and short. Though, Brynn couldn't say much, she looked as out of place as the rest of them in her dark gray racerback tank top and bright splattered printed sports bra underneath.

Brynn quickly walked over to the rest of the group, where Jason was the first to notice them arrive. "Little B!" he said walking over to her and giving her a big hug. Jason was much taller than her making it one of the best hugs. "You did great today! God, everyone did so great today!"

Brynn couldn't help but laugh at Jason, he might have been a bit tipsy since Brynn guessed they had been here for at least twenty minutes. Jason would always party a bit to hard after they would pull of a stunt like what they had done.

"I'm gonna go dance!" Jason says, letting Brynn go and walk to the dance floor.

"Don't hurt yourself!" Brynn replied watching him make his way over.

Looking around, Brynn noticed that most of the group had dispersed since she had gotten here and probably had gone to the dance floor, like Jason, to dance to the live music. She made her way over to the bar, where she noticed Sean and Eddy standing.

"Hey guys," Brynn said, coming up behind and pushing her way in between them, looking over at Ricky who was already grabbing her a beer. "What have you guys been talking about in the five seconds I was gone,"

Sean looked over at her with a smile, "Oh you know nothing important because nothing can be important without you to talk about it with."

Brynn gave a small 'thank you' to Ricky when he set her beer down. She, then looked over at Sean and gave him a smile. "Of course because I'm the most important person."

"Sure," Eddy says rolling his eyes and taking a sip of his beer.

Brynn let's her mouth fall open and puts her hand over her heart in mock hurt. "I'm hurt that you don't think I'm the most important person."

At that, Eddy turned around and rest his elbows on the bar, there was a smile on his face. Brynn and Sean followed and looked out at all of their friends dancing on the dance floor.

"Do you guys remember the first time the three of us came here together?" Eddy asked suddenly before taking a sip of his beer.

Brynn looked over at him for a second, but he didn't look back. "How could I forget, it was the first time I came here at all," she answered looking away with a smile on her face.

"Oh yeah," Sean said like he was remembering something. "It was after your first day of school."

"Yeah," Brynn replied. "And I wanted nothing more than to go home and finish unpacking, but you guys were walking a bit behind me and Eddy ran up and tried to hit on me."

"You are never going to let me live it down," Eddy said throwing his head back and closing his eyes.

"You brought it up!" Brynn said hitting his arm.

Eddy smiled looking back at her. "I remember you yelling at me to leave you alone after I hit on you. Then, we offered to bring you in here to make it up to you."

"More like I offered to save your ass, Eddy," Sean said looking over Brynn at the other boy.

"And after that we were inseparable ever since," Brynn said wrapping her arms around the boy's necks and pulling them into a hug.

"I still can't believe you didn't let me hit on you, but you let Daniel Stark hit on you and take you on a date," Eddy said taking the last sip of his beer and putting it down on the bar, before wrapping his other arm around Brynn to shake her.

Brynn closed her eyes and dropped her head in shame. "In my defense I thought he was cute and nice at the time."

Both Eddy and Sean threw their heads back in laughter at that. "After one date, you realized how much of a creep he was," Sean said rubbing the top of her head and walking away to the dance floor.

Brynn shook her head as she watched him go, patting the top of her head to make sure he didn't mess up the hair she had carefully braided back into a ponytail. "You guys will never let me live down dating Daniel Stark," Brynn said taking a sip of her own beer she'd almost forgotten about.

"Never, it's our job," Eddy said patting her back and releasing himself from the girl's grip. "And if you two never let me live down hitting on you, then you can't never forget your awful date with Daniel Stark."

Brynn sent him a glare and then raised her hand to flip him off. Eddy let out a fake gasp, "That's rude, what if I did that to you every time you pissed me off?" Eddy asked and then smiled. "It would happen a lot."

The colorful haired girl slapped Eddy in the arm, and then crossed both arms over her chest. Even though she was pretending to be mad, she found it hard to keep a smile from forming.

"Ah, there it is, the best smile in all of Miami," the boy said leaning down close to Brynn's face.

That made her break out into a full smile. "Stop," she said putting one of her hands over his face in an attempt to push the boy away.

"Come on, I just want to see your pretty smile," Eddy said with a smile.

"I hate you," Brynn said, crossing her arms, even though she was smiling. "You are the absolute worst."

Eddy put his hand on his chin like he was thinking about what she had just said. "Hmmm, I'm almost positive that there are worse people in the world than someone that just wants to see you smile." Eddy said flashing Brynn his best smile.

Brynn let out a sigh, "I guess."

They were quiet, looking out at all of their friends, dancing around each other without a care in the world. When the song ended, everyone stopped their dancing and cheered for the band before they started their next song.

When the next song started, Eddy turned to Brynn quickly. "Hey, B, you wanna dance?" he asked, extending a hand over to the smaller girl.

Brynn smiled, they had done this many times before. Hell, they had even learned to salsa together, with Brynn occasionally dancing with Sean. Everyone in The Mob would dance in random partners every time they came to Ricky's, most of the time it wasn't with the person they danced with the last time, just to keep things interesting. Brynn almost always danced with Eddy, though, there was something familiar about it. They knew how the other moved, and even if Brynn didn't want to admit it, she didn't really enjoy the times they danced with other people.

Of course, them always dancing together got them chirps from the rest of the crew. Most of them about how they should just date because they always act like a couple anyway. Brynn didn't really see it though, she acted like this around everyone else so why is it seen as flirting with Eddy?

Brynn mentally shook away her thoughts and grabbed Eddy's hand, allowing him to lead her onto the dance floor. Once they were in the middle of the floor Eddy turned to Brynn, never letting her hand go. He smiled at her before they began, the steps coming to them from all of the time they spent here doing the salsa and from their lessons when they were younger. They knew what the other was going to do and when they would do it. Each spin and turn making them feel a bit more at ease.

Of course, Brynn could hear the rest of The Mob whistling and cheering at them. At any other time it probably would have made Brynn mad, but she could only focus on moving her feet to the rhythm and her hand placed on top of Eddy's.

Brynn could feel the beat of the music making her move to the rhythm and stay completely on time with the music. She smiled at Eddy the entire time, every little thing that was a bit of a mess made them almost laugh, but they kept their composure through the entire song and at the end of it, they looked at each other smiling, both out of breath.

Everyone around them clapped, breaking them out of their little spell. They looked away from each other and up at the band before clapping for them themselves.

Brynn jumped when she felt a hand hitting her back. "You guys were great, just like always!" Sean said smiling, adding a wink at the end before walking backwards a bit and pointing at them and disappearing into the crowd.

Both her and Eddy have gotten used to the constant jokes by now, and they both just shook their heads and smiled.

"I should probably head out," Brynn said with an apologetic look. "Don't stay out too late, you have a video to edit, remember, and work in the morning."

Eddy shook his head and smiled, "Yeah, yeah, I know, god you sound like a nagging parent."

"Someone's gotta make sure you don't do anything stupid," Brynn said smiling, leaning in and pressing a kiss to his cheek. "I mean it, don't stay out too late."

"I promise, one or two more songs and then I'm dragging Sean out of here whether he wants it or not," the boy said with a smile, giving the smaller girl a hug.

"Good, make sure I don't regret trusting you," Brynn said pulling away and starting to walk toward the door.

"Bye," Eddy calls out after her.

Brynn looks back and smiles, "Bye,"
