The next morning we run through a final rehearsal for Soul Sister and dance along, it is danceability week, after all.
Before we know it Robert Ulrich is standing before us yet again, with this weeks guest judge..
We finish and after going through their comments, Samuel is picked as this weeks winner of the homework assignment. We go straight into rehearsals for Hammer time, by MC Hammer and we get to play about for a while and I find myself sitting with Alex,
"You and Sam would make a really cute couple." He says to me and I shrug.
"We're just friends, Alex, that's all we'll ever be." I say with a sigh and he laughs, getting up and walking off.
I stand up and walk outside, shutting the fire escape behind me. I take a cigarette f rom the pack and light it, slowly inhaling the thick smoke and closing my eyes, smiling to myself as the nicotine rush hits. I open my eyes, exhaling the smoke, when Samuel appears behind me.
I almost choke on my second drag and look at him, regret in my eyes."Sam - I -" he shakes his head and lifts the pack from beside me on the railing,removing one and bringing it to his lips, he presses his cigarette against mine to light it. I watch him as he inhales the first drag and I stop and stare.
He looks sexy as hell.
I look away fast and mentally smack myself for even thinking that's way. I take another drag and watch how he watches me, and I smirk.
I leave the cigarette hanging between my lips and pull myself onto the railing and sit there, smiling at him whilst taking another drag.
He moves towards me, and lifts my legs, wrapping them around his waist.
This is the closest we've ever been to one another.
And I can't help but love it.
We both stay like that for maybe 10 minutes.
Staring into each other's eyes with each drag we take.
When we both finish, we throw the butts over the railing and he hands me my cigarettes from his pocket, and I remove my legs from his waist and jump down.
We walk inside in total silence. And I can't help but feel completely embarrassed by what just happened, but I don't let it show.
