Chapter 16
It was about 6 weeks later as Izzy stood behind the big red curtain which now covered the stage, she hated to admit it but as many times she had done this dance this was the first time she was really nervous, she took a couple of deep breathes and looked over at Matt who got the male lead and was standing smiling at her from the opposite side of the curtain. They were sharing the recital with one of the weekend dance schools, and Izzy had to admit they were all doing pretty good, and all looked so cute in their little tutus.
"I hate this tutu," Izzy mumbled to herself looking down at the huge mound of white fabric, sure she was a ballet dancer but she hated the huge tutu she had to wear for the beginning of 'The Nutcracker',
"But you look so damn cute," Sarah said from behind her dressed as one of the lead extra's
"Shut up," Izzy mumbled, "I don't think I've ever been this nervous,"
"It's understandable," Sarah said, "You've never danced in front of people who you care about before,"
"True," Izzy said, "How are you the voice of reason?"
"When you hyperventilate from stress you will thank me for being here," Sarah said chuckling,
"Thank you so much," Izzy said groaning before taking a look out into the audience, it was nowhere near the biggest she had danced for and she knew most of the people were families of the dancers or some posh dignitaries, but she looked around and spotted the people that were making her nervous.
Lindsay was sat about 5 rows back near the centre, Danny next to her looking slightly bored, as was Flack but Jenny looked as interested as Lindsay as they 'awwed' at all the little kids on the stage. Stella and Mac had made their apologies but they went out of town to Chicago to go see Mac's brother and tell him about the wedding, but promised they'd be watching the next one, and Hawkes girlfriend came down with the flu last night so they both stayed home.
Soon the music stopped and everyone applauded as all the kids came running off the stage and the lights went down to a single spot light on the middle of the stage where the announcer was now standing, tonight it happened to be Ginny who was dressed in an elegant long gown.
"Thank you," Ginny said, "That was an excellent performance by George's Dance School, now we have some of our own dancers taking to the stage, this time we will be presenting 'The Nutcracker', lead roles played by our newest pupil Isabelle Smith and Matthew Cartwright. Please sit back and enjoy." Ginny smiled before the crowd cheered and all the lights went down, the starting music began to play and Izzy took a deep breath before stepping out onto the stage and taking her starting position in the dark, Matt coming along as well. They smiled at each other before the lights picked up again and the performance began.
By the end of the night and the performance Izzy was smiling happily and as the final note was drawn and Izzy got into her final position smiling widely as the crowd applauded and stood on their feet, Izzy stood up and walked to the front of the stage, grabbing hold of Matt's hand to her left and took a bow at the front of the stage before all the cast came on and they did a group bow, before exiting the stage and leaving the crowd clapping.
"Oh my god," Izzy said jumping up and down after she went behind the big red curtain,
"Izzy you were amazing!" Sarah said smiling and jumping up and down with her giving each other a huge hug.
"Oh my god that was amazing," Izzy said beaming a huge smile and turned round to see how had just put their arms round her waist, "Matty you were brilliant," Izzy said hugging him close,
"So were you," Matty said smiling, and hugging her back,
"Guy's we have the week off!" A girl name Lucy said running into the three dancers jumping and smiling, then stopping as she saw Matt and Izzy in each other's arms, "Did I interrupt something?" she said raising her eyebrows,
"We do?!" they all said together, and then Izzy and Matt looked how they were standing and laughed,
"Oh yeah," Izzy said laughing, "You totally interrupted a romantic moment," she said sarcastically, inside she was screaming the answer 'yes you bloody well did'
"Sarcasm isn't very ladylike Izzy, and yeah, Ginny just talked to the head, we get the week off, we have to do homework otherwise, we can all go home!" Leah said smiling, "Guys I'll see ya my parents are leaving now, have a nice week! Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" she started to run off towards the stage door, before turning and winking at Izzy and Matt
"You too," all three of them shouted before turning to each and laughing,
"Does that girl ever take her mind out the gutter?" Izzy asked laughing and they all shook their heads, "But, we have a week off!"
"Yeah I know I can go home for a few days!" Sarah said smiling, "Reminds me I need to go my parents are taking me out for the night, you guys have a good one and I'll see ya in a few days,"
Izzy stepped out of Matt's grip both slightly annoyed at the loss of contact but they both covered it well.
"Call me okay," Izzy said hugging Sarah, who smiled and nodded,
"Every day, it's gonna be weird not sleeping with you," Sarah said laughing and Izzy laughed to as Matt's jaw dropped,
"Yeah matt did we fail to mention we do more than sleeping at night," Sarah said wiggling her eyebrows and kissing Izzy on the cheek, as Matt just looked shocked and didn't bother to speak,
"Leave him alone," Izzy said slapping her on the arm, "Honestly we need to find you someone like yesterday it's making you too hyper,"
"Hey we have a week of nothing to do," Sarah said smiling, "But I really need to go, see ya guys," she moved away from them and walked into Lindsay and the guys on her way out,
"Bye Sarah," Izzy shouted before seeing Lindsay and her beaming smile, "Lindsay you made it," she said sprinting to Lindsay and hugging her close, Lindsay just managing to stay upright,
"You were brilliant Iz," Lindsay said trying not to let the tears escape by sniffling,
"Are you crying?" Izzy said looking up slightly and seeing tears rolling down Lindsay's face, "Honestly emotional much," she teased,
"You should see Jenny," Lindsay said laughing pointing to the two blubbering woman, the tough NYPD officer had red eyes but a beaming smile,
"First ballet?" Izzy asked and Lindsay nodded laughing, "Typical," she said smiling, "So did you like it?" she asked shyly looking down at the floor,
"Izzy," Lindsay said lifting her head up, "I am so proud of you right now, and you were bloody amazing and I love you so much," she said smiling and hugging her close, Izzy smiling widely and hugging Lindsay back,
"Izzy," a man's voice said from behind her, Izzy turned around and saw Matt standing slightly shy,
"Matt come meet everyone," Izzy said stepping out of Lindsay's embrace and walking over to him taking his hand and dragging him towards the guys,
"Lindsay this is Matt, Matt this is Lindsay Monroe," Izzy said smiling and holding onto Matt's hand still,
"Lovely to meet you Miss Monroe," Matt said extending his hand and looking at Lindsay,
"Oh please," Lindsay said pulling Matt into a hug which was kind of hard as he was a lot taller than her. "You did brilliant as well." She said stepping out of the hug, Matt turning a nice shade of red.
"Thanks," he said smiling,
"What Izzy no saying hello," Danny said ignoring the fact, for now, that Izzy's hand had returned to Matt's,
"Sorry Danny," Izzy said letting do of Matt and hugging Danny, then Flack and Jenny, "What did ya think?"
"That I might be able to sit through ballet now," Danny said laughing and Flack nodded,
"It was beautiful Izzy," Jenny said smiling,
"Thank you," Izzy said pulling Matt close again to introduce him to more people, "Matt meet, Don Flack, Jenny Angell and Danny Messer, guys meet Matt Cartwright."
"Nice to meet you," Matt said shaking both Don's and Danny's hands who's grips were very tight and the look in their eyes should have turned him to stone and then Jenny hugged him as Lindsay had done.
Lindsay spotted the looks on Danny and Don's faces and tried not to laugh and also think about how long it would take either of them to run a full search on the boy, the two of them were all very protective of Izzy and were worse than to fathers when it came to thinking about her being with men, Danny managed to skim over the issue when Lindsay raised it last week.
"Are you going home for the week?" Izzy asked Matt bringing his gaze back from the two men who were trying to pierce him with their stares.
"No," Matt said sighing, "My parents are away somewhere, I'm not quite sure where, so I get to stay the week, it's gonna be pretty boring."
"Aww," Izzy said holding onto Matt's hand, "We can hang out together, Lindsay is probably gonna be at work all week and Danny too, so I'm gonna be home alone. How about you show me some of the sights New York has to offer."
"That Miss Smith I can do," Matt said bowing slightly causing Izzy to laugh, "Consider me your personal tour guide for the week,"
"Oh I am so honoured," Izzy said putting a hand to her chest and giggled, "We need to go get dressed," she said realising they were still in there outfits.
"True," Matt said smiling, "But you look so cute in that," he whispered into her ear causing her to blush and all the adults to raise an eyebrow,
"Alright you two," Lindsay said, "Go get dressed and then we can get going, Matt you can join us if you want?"
"I don't wonna impose Miss Monroe," Matt said and Lindsay just smiled,
"It's Lindsay, and its fine I'm sure Izzy would love to have some company," Lindsay said smiling at the girl whose blush had just come back,
"Yeah Matt please come," Izzy said turning to him and pouting,
'How can I resist that face," he thought before laughing and nodding, "Fine, that would be lovely thanks," he said before walking off towards the dressing rooms to get dressed.
Izzy did a silence 'yes' under her breathe before walking off to her dressing room and doing a little dance.
"You know I think he likes her," Don said with a small grunt,
"I think your right there Flack," Danny said also looking about to kill someone,
"Honestly you two," Lindsay said laughing and shaking her head, "You two will NOT interrogate or scare the poor boy got it?" Lindsay said pointing her finger at them to emphasise the point,
"I already know you two are running background checks as we speak, as soon as you saw how he looked at her on stage, but one word, or one interrogation technique, me and Lindsay are kicking ass." Jenny said glaring at the two men, who nodded,
"Honestly what are you gonna be like when she's 20 and going out drinking," Lindsay said and then saw the looks on Danny and Don's faces,
"She won't be," Danny and Don said together with stern faces which caused Lindsay and Jenny to laugh more, as Don's phone went off,
"Flack," Don said all three of the others knew who it was already, "Yup...yes...okay...you sure...okay, thanks," he closed the phone and looked at the three people, "Squeaky clean, not a thing," Flack said and the others let out a almost inaudible sigh each of them were unaware they were holding in.
"Please tell me your not background searching my friends," Izzy said walking over to them now in jeans and carrying a small hold-all bag.
"Nope the perp I bagged earlier," Flack said smiling, "Why would I do something like that Iz?" he asked and Izzy raising an eyebrow thinking about it before shrugging.
"Ready to go?" Danny asked Izzy trying to cover up what the four of them had been doing, and holding out his arm to get the bag off her,
"Yup," Izzy said him the bag, "Matt," she somewhat shouted as he walked out of the boys dressing room,
"Yup we can go," Matt said smiling, putting his bag over his shoulder and taking hold of Izzy's hand.
"Where are we going?" Izzy asked realising she had no idea where they were off to,
"Itallian Restaurant I took Linds to the other week," Danny said smiling,
"And there letting you come back?" Izzy said laughing dodging a swipe to the head from Danny, "Matt protect me," she said hiding by his side,
"I am not taking on these two for you, there bigger than me," Matt said laughing but Lindsay and Jenny did see the smug looks on there faces.
"Some great help you are," Izzy said pouting then smiling as matt put his arm round her waist, and she leaned in onto his shoulder,
"How bout we run for it instead of me fighting," Matt said laughing and Izzy nodded and laughed too,
"Come on then guys, I'm hungry," Jenny said trying to mask the looks on Don and Danny's faces as Matt pulled Izzy closer.
"Unclench guys," Lindsay said under her breath, walking over to the SUV and opening the passenger door.
