Tessa's POV
"Hey Tess" Scarlett said as I approached her. She had started warming up and so did I.
"Hello. You are here before me - that is a surprise" Scarlett and I had become closer over the past few days.
"Yeah that is surprising!" she gave me an odd look "where were you?"
"Nowhere!" I sighed. "Liam just picked me up" I said this words in almost a whisper.
Her face lit up. "Ooh Liam!" I rolled my eyes.
"Did anything happen?"
"What do you mean did anything happen?" Did she know about my love for Liam?
"Oh come on" she said "I see the way you look at him, it is obvious you have the eyes for him"
"No it isn't!" I stated. She nodded. "Is it really that obvious?" I felt a little embarrassed.
"Come on babe! Don't worry 'bout that. I have a little feeling that he just might be in to you!"
"That's not true! But I wish it was!" I almost went in to a dream.
"Yeah, well I do-"
"Ok girls into positions - let's start with Stand Up today." We were interrupted by Sophie - our dancing instructor.
Liam didn't feel the same way about me! Or did he? I had to keep telling myself to get these thoughts out of my head. Someone as beautiful and talented and amazing as him would never like a girl like myself. I could never get my hopes up. That would only lead to a broken heart.
The backing track to Stand Up began.
From the moment I met you everything changed
I knew I had to get you, whatever the pain
I had to take you and make you mine
I began to move my body in time with the song. Dancing - it cleared everything out of my mind. Not that I had much on my mind at the moment. I felt so free and energetic.
I would walk through the dessert, I would walk down the aisle
I would swim all the oceans just to see you smile
Whatever it takes is fine.
I jumped to face the back, getting ready for the chorus. I tilted my head to see Liam's beautiful face peeking through and looking to where we were dancing. He was smiling and mouthing the words to the song. He looked at me and gave me a bigger smile which I returned back to him. But as soon as I smiled back I had to turn back around and carry on with the dance.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh so put your hands up
Oh oh oh oh oh oh coz it's a stand up
I won't be leaving till I've finished stealing
Every piece of your heart (every piece of your heart)
I wished I could of looked at his smile for as long as possible. I quickly turned my head to see that he had gone from his place before. Must be back rehearsing.
I longed for me to turn around and see his smiling face again.
Maybe he does like you I thought to myself
No Tessa don't get your hopes up.
Liam's POV
"Ok guys into positions – let's start with Stand Up today" I faintly heard Sophie's voice instructing Tess and the other dancers.
"Just a sec lads" I said to the boys as I walked over to behind the curtain, where I could just see Tess putting herself into position.
From the moment I met you everything changed
I knew I had to get you, whatever the pain
I had to take you and make you mine
I heard my voice played in the speaker (well mine and Harry's), I still found that a bit weird! But anyway. Her body began to move to the music. She was strong, yet gracefully at the same time. She looked so beautiful. No one could compare to her.
I would walk through the dessert, I would walk down the aisle
I would swim all the oceans just to see you smile
Whatever it takes is fine.
She did more strong and difficult looking dance moves and eventually did a jump to face the back, where I could now properly see her face. She looked up and our eyes met. Her big, hazel eyes sparkled and she smiled when she saw my face. But unfortunately the song had to carry on.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh so put your hands up
Oh oh oh oh oh oh coz it's a stand up
She turned around and all I could see was the back of her stunning body. The moment ended just as quick as it had begun. I wanted to wait for her to turn back and see her face again but of course we had rehearsals.
"Liam come on!" Harry pulled my arm but I left my eyes on Tess.
"Liam, you can't stare at her all day come on we have rehearsals"
I followed him this time.
"Liam come on" Niall half moaned, half sighed.
"Yes yes yes peoples I am coming"
