Save the Last Dance for Me
Roy was more than a little nervous when he pulled Riza out of the dip. He probably shouldn't have kissed Riza like that. It had been a spur of the moment impulse. Still, she had kissed him back, so maybe he hadn't completely ruined things between them. But that would have to wait until after he had made his point to their audience. Roy swung the two of them into the traditional pose to take their bows, and there was plenty of applause from those watching in the studio. He smirked at Lust.
"That is what I call a good fit for a partner."
Beside him Riza shook her head. Still, she let him keep his hand in hers, and she was smiling. Roy's coach raised an eyebrow at the two of them.
"I take it this is who you were talking about when you said you might have someone you wanted to audition."
Roy shrugged. "It's under negotiation. We were going to discuss it at lunch."
His coach sighed and made shooing motions. "All right. All right. Go. We'll talk about it later."
Turning to Riza, Roy braced himself for her reaction. He might have exaggerated things some. To his surprise, she seemed more amused than anything else.
"So are we going to lunch or not?"
He blinked at her. "You're not mad?"
"Gracia discussed the idea with me a month ago. We were wondering when you would get around to discussing it with me." Riza scooped up her purse and her jacket and headed for the door. "Coming?"
With a grin, Roy followed after her. He had a feeling that this was going to turn out to be a great partnership.
