"What're you doing?" He asks and I smile.
"I'm not letting everyone see us practice." I say pulling him close to me.
After lunch and another 2 hours of practicing, a trunk of clothes is set in the main seating area and we all start to dive through it.
I lift a dress and matching shoes and quickly put it in the bag I brought with me to hide it from everyone, including Samuel.
I start to work on my hair, fashioning it into lots of loose curls no letting it all fall behind my shoulders. I try a very natural look for once on my face - slight blush, slight eyeliner, a little mascara and a bright red lip.
We walk into the performance room and all sit in front of Ryan and Robert. Hannah and Matheus leave to get dressed and we all sit quietly. They come back and the lights dim. They perform a waltz. Hannah loses her footing a couple times, but Matheus helps her.
When Samuel and I are called we go to seperate rooms to get changed, I out on a long, red dress and matching red heels. When I'm ready I can hear him waiting on me on the stage. I walk out slowly and then run towards him, our hands clasping together and he looks into my eyes.
He's wearing a white flowing shirt and black slacks, his dreads pulled back and tied.
I lie back and wrap my leg around his thigh. He doesn't take his eyes from me the entire dance. At the end he throws me back and leans forward, kissing my neck, before pulling me back up to be level with him.
We look towards everyone and they sit there, mouths gaping open.
I look towards Samuel and he puts his arm around my waist, walking me back to our seats.
We sit and watch the other pairings. When it's over Ryan Murphy stands above us all.
"I think we all know the clear winners are Samuel & Nicola" he says and I smile, dropping my head in exhaustion before looking back up at him.
"You have both won immunity this week." I let out a scream and so does Sam. We high five and smile at each other. "Thank you Ryan" he smiles. "And with this announcement, I want to also let you know that from this week onwards, the winner of the homework challenge will not be immune from going home." He says with a nod and walks out, followed by Robert.
"Congrats guys" they all say and I stand up to walk out.
