AUTHOR'S NOTE: More Who Dares Wins. I'd also recommend the previous six chapters since lockdown concluded if you've not read them to capture mood and story direction, as well as other things. I would also love to hear further feedback about the last chapter, which is by far the most significant of the story so far, and I'd like to collect a bit more feedback regarding it :)
Who Dares Wins
Chapter Sixty-One: The Truth Comes Out
Hereford
Friday, 30 November, 2007
Sarah sat on the edge of the bed in her bedroom, pulling on her panties as she took in the heavy scent of the lovemaking just shared, which still lingered all around.
She stole a glance at Chuck close by, who was pulling up his jeans and underwear.
Sarah struggled to catch her breath as she spoke to him, still feeling the aftereffects of their passionate sex. "If you've ripped or ruined my dress, you're in trouble," she warned, nodding at the leopard dress still around her, though it was lowered below her exposed chest.
"I'll buy you a new one," he said, fighting for breath too, but he grinned. "I just had to have you in it and I could again right now." his glance locked on her stunning frame. "Grr," he growled.
Sarah suppressed breathless laughter. The level of her arousal was still so high she was confident she could go again, and maybe even a couple more times.
"I'm as ready and as aroused as I ever have been for you. So, we could, if you want?" she said, smiling invitingly.
He narrowed his eyes in thought, pausing from dressing.
"Though I'm still breathless and sweaty and need to get my breath back first," she said, fighting off amusement. "But we still need to meet the team."
He nodded. "Yeah, we do. But you're OK because I'm sure you have deodorant. While I don't."
"You can use mine if you want?" she said with a smirk. "It might make you smell even better."
His gaze narrowed further. "Now, who's the teasing one?"
She giggled in satisfaction. "That would be me. I guess it's coming out of me, knowing we'll soon see the team."
He shook his head at her. "Tsk, tsk, that's no excuse, as you told me."
Sarah suppressed laughter. "Do you want to go again, then?" she asked, biting her lip suggestively as she considered immediate sex with him again.
"Oh god yes I do," he said with conviction, his gaze locked on her as he moved towards her.
A seductive giggle escaped Sarah's lips as he moved to take an intimate hold of her chest and softly kissed her beautiful lips.
"But we need to see the team, so it's up to you which order. I'm fine with either first, baby," he whispered.
Sarah took a moment in thought, then spoke. "God, I want you so much right now. But the longer we take, the worse it will be for us. Having you once and your warm gift was enough for me for now. We'll finish the rest later. And besides, the want and need for you will help me get through it."
He suppressed fond laughter, nodding in concession. "Well then, beautiful, as much as I'd rather stay here, engage in sexual aftercare, and engage in more amazing activities with you in this bed, we should probably hurry, so long as you think it's best that we tell them tonight, in this way."
Sarah nodded. "I do. And besides, I just lost all my worries and anxieties because of the sex we just had. Plus, what I now have inside me," she said, pointing at her panties. "has given me the courage to face anything."
Chuck narrowed his eyes. "Um, Sarah-"
"Yeah?" she interrupted.
Chuck moved a hand to take hold of her in the spot where she wore her panties. "You might need to clean up down there," he cautioned.
"It's staying there," she said, flustered by his touch.
He narrowed his eyes again as they became slits.
She smirked in approval.
"What if anyone notices?" he asked through his narrowed glance.
Sarah scoffed. "If anyone's looking down there, I'll kick their ass," she said, amusement creeping from her lips.
He suppressed laughter. "I'll do it for you!"
"We'll both do it," she said with a smile.
He nodded, smiling back.
Chuck then lifted his girlfriend to stand with care, helped her put on her bra, and helped her fix her dress back in place.
Once done, he intertwined his fingers with hers and kissed her passionately.
When they parted from the kiss, they embraced.
"We'll face every problem together, baby," he whispered, moving to rest his forehead against hers. "You can always count on me."
Sarah caressed his face as her forehead remained against his, holding a lover's stare with him. "And yet you don't feel worthy of me?" she asked, scoffing deeply. "You're more worthy of me than everyone else I've ever known combined and then some, gorgeous."
"I'll stop saying it now. I promise," he said, forcing a smile.
A more affectionate smile encompassed her features. "Good."
He kissed her again, running a hand down her cheek.
Sarah closed her eyes at the contact.
She looked back at him when he said, "Whatever brought us together, it was meant to be. You make me happier than I've ever felt, and I found you in the least likely of places."
Joy lit up her face. "I never thought I'd be spending my life with and having sex with a nerd. And not only once. I'm already losing count of how many times you've rocked my world."
"Ouch," he winced, raising his head back to look more deeply into her eyes. "You're really going hard on me tonight, aren't you?"
She smirked. "Call it payback, sexy, for making me have sex in the dress, causing me to almost die from shortness of breath."
"It's staying on when we have sex as soon as we get back," he said with a grin.
Sarah pointed into his chest. "Oh, no, it's not!" she said, shaking her head, feeling more determined than she'd ever felt. She loved that her boyfriend loved her in the dress she especially wore for him.
But wearing clothes during their passionate breathtaking encounters was a no-go, and she knew their second time would be as explosive as their first tonight, because of the resounding success of their fourth date, and the day they spent together.
He suppressed laughter at her determination. "Keep teasing me like you are and you'll have no choice because I'll tie you up and have my way with you in the dress."
"I wouldn't say no to being tied up by you," she admitted, biting her lip again. Her mind instantly imaginging herself in the scenario with him.
He narrowed his eyes into slits, processing her remarks.
She smirked in approval of his reaction.
Chuck moved back to kiss Sarah's lips again.
When they parted, he whispered, "I'll just ring Cole, then we'll go."
Sarah nodded. "I still can't believe he did that for me."
"I can," Chuck said with a grin. "I would have done the same thing for him and he knows it."
She smiled. "He's a great friend to you, Chuck. I can see why he's your best friend, and I wish I had a close friend to rely on like that."
"You do. You have me," he declared without hesitation. "And you'll have Cole and Sophie soon too, I'm sure."
As she looked at him, Sarah snorted softly, her eyes full of warmth. "You're my boyfriend and lover, not a friend."
He shook his head, taking hold of her hands. "I'm so much more than that. I'm with you for everything. For the good moments and bad. When you need someone to make you smile, or to hold you when you're feeling sad. As your friend, boyfriend, and the guy who's gonna take care of you. You can count on me, Sarah."
"Me too. I'll be there for you too," Sarah said, her eyes glossing again over his declaration, feeling special and cared for again.
She played with his hands, smiling at him with affection as they held a lover's stare.
He smiled back. "Let's go face the music, then."
Sarah nodded. "I'll book a taxi."
Chuck nodded as his hand slipped away from hers.
They took out their phones to make the respective calls, then made a brief stop in the bathroom to freshen themselves up.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O
Chuck and Sarah arrived outside Jim's pub just after 9.30 pm.
"I'll just pay the fare and then we'll head in. Cole and Sophie arrived a few minutes ago," Chuck said.
Sarah nodded and departed the taxi, waiting on the sidewalk for him.
Chuck paid the taxi fare and then exited the vehicle to join her.
They met up again, hidden just out of view of the pub.
"Are you nervous?" she asked.
Chuck shook his head. "No."
"Why not?" she asked.
He took hold of her hand and kissed it gently. "Because I never cared for what they were saying to begin with. My private life is the business of my own. It only bothered me because it bothered you. But now that we're going official, I don't have to hide my defence of you, so I'm ready to drop bombs on the first one who attacks you."
Sarah smiled in adoration. "Let's head inside then," she said with newfound determination. If Chuck would fight for them, you could be damned sure, so would she, starting from now.
He nodded.
They stood outside the pub, taking in a few deep breaths, knowing that their relationship announcement would change the dynamic of their team forever.
Soon ready, they opened the door to the pub, ready to face their teammates and reveal the truth about their relationship.
As they entered, they encountered their full team, as well as Sophie, with their backs to them seated at the bar.
Jamie soon caught their glance, turned, and said, "Oh, here they are! Five hours later, just like Cole!"
Everyone turned to face Chuck and Sarah, who stopped walking a few paces from the team.
"Yeah, fella," John Murray said. "I think we can assume Chuck's been on the video games again all night, but I'm not sure about Sarah."
Bryce fixed his eyes on Sarah's leopard dress, which brought out her flawless appearance and how her hair fell perfectly, making it impossible for him to break his gaze.
She met his gaze and sent him a glacial glare that left no room for misinterpretation.
Bryce quickly looked away.
Big Dan crossed his arms, taking in Sarah and Chuck's appearances for a long moment. "Well, John, fella, she certainly wasn't playing those games with him because I've seen no one dressed so well, unlike Chuck."
Chuck shook his head, drawing out a sigh at the jabbing from Dan and he'd only just arrived.
A few teammates laughed at the remarks as Big Dan continued. "I think we can safely assume Sarah jibbed all of us off for five hours in favour of going out with a fancy man. But I think all of us know it wasn't with Chuck."
"Why couldn't it be Chuck?" Sarah asked instantly, glaring at Big Dan.
Big Dan held his glance at Sarah. "Come on now, Sarah. Let's be realists here. You look a million pounds tonight and could comfortably be with anyone in the whole world. While he-"
"He looks good and there's nothing wrong with him!" Sarah said with a snarl, glancing around the pub to take in who was present on this busy Friday evening. "He's one of the best-looking guys in here."
"That's disputable," Big Dan said, raising a hand to rest on his chin in amusement.
Cole Barker shot a finger to point at Big Dan, his glance less than friendly. "Watch your fucking mouth and remember who you're speaking to around me!" he warned, turning hostile.
Big Dan smirked at the comment, turned to look at Sarah again and said, "Even if he was one of the best looking in the pub, you're one of the best looking in the world. So that's a bit of a stretch and a less than favourable match, even by my large standards."
Chuck's gaze lowered over Dan's remarks.
Sarah, determining Chuck believed what Dan was saying by looking at him—and because Dan was traducing him—let out a frustrated groan and felt a surge of protectiveness towards her boyfriend over someone speaking ill of him.
She took a step toward Big Dan, then said, "Well, I don't care what you think. Any woman would be lucky to be with a guy like Chuck!"
A few of Chuck's teammates muttered immediate agreement, while Sophie said, "Don't listen to him, Sarah. You're right. Chuck is the best man in Hereford. We would all be lucky to meet someone like him."
Sarah nodded sharply, feeling the same way Sophie felt.
Cole complained, his tone a mix of amusement and offence. "Hey! I heard that!"
"Today isn't about your feelings, Cole," Sophie said.
Big Dan, however, ignored the comments and scoffed. "You should always be real around your friends, Sarah."
"He was with me!" Sarah shouted through gritted teeth, her voice growing louder with each passing moment, her heart pounding. Big Dan's behaviour was grating on her nerves, making her feel more and more agitated. It was like he was dragging his fingernails down a chalkboard every time he made an additional comment about Chuck.
"Sorry, Sarah, I think I believe Dan," John Murray said. "There's no way you headed out together tonight, each looking as you do. You look exquisite, while he looks normal."
Sarah shot her glare to the Scot instead.
"And right you are, John, fella," Big Dan said. "The more she hides this mystery man of hers, the more suspicious I'll get."
"You're really pissing me off now!" Sarah shouted, trying but failing to hold back her anger, stepping into Big Dan's face. "He was with me!"
Big Dan smirked. "I'm sorry, Sarah. But I'm not falling for your ruse. All of us know you were with someone else."
"Speak for yourself, mate," Jamie said. "Because I believe her. And they look good together as well."
Big Dan, sensing it was the moment he'd been waiting for, moved in for the kill. "Let's all be reasonable with ourselves. What we have in front of us is a gorgeous, sophisticated woman. While he's-"
"Passionate, gorgeous, sweet and caring!" Sarah shouted into Big Dan's face.
Big Dan held back a smirk and continued, "Chuck's a great lad, Sarah. I love him to bits. But you and he are in the same league?" he scoffed. "Using a football analogy, you play your football as the best in the world in Barcelona. While he plays on a cold Wednesday night, in Stoke-on-Trent."
A few of the team were about to speak up, deeming Big Dan was going too far in his ribbing and that Chuck was uncomfortable, each sensing he believed every word being said.
However, Sophie got in first, glaring in distaste at Big Dan, and said, "Chuck can pull most women with his looks alone. But with his personality, too? He's streets ahead and unworldly compared to you, who most women wouldn't even look at twice."
Big Dan snorted at the offensive remark at him, but he looked at Sarah and said, "Well, Sarah, is she right or wrong?"
"You really don't think he has a chance with me?!" she shouted into Dan's face, now at boiling point.
Big Dan extended his arms out in a challenge. "Prove me wrong, Sarah."
"Ok, fine!" she shouted.
Her words were barely out of her mouth when she turned and strode with purpose towards Chuck, grabbing hold of his shirt and crashing him into her.
Sarah firmly grasped Chuck, kissing him with such passion as she rammed her tongue down his throat to prove just how much she cared about him.
She continued to kiss him, relishing the taste of his lips as she explored every inch of his mouth with her tongue while she ensured her teammates could see as she rested a hand to squeeze hold of his crotch.
Sarah heard approving sounds from some of her teammates, but she only stopped kissing him when she ran out of breath, pulling apart as she snapped back to face Big Dan.
"Happy now?!" she shouted, her breath shaky from the intensity of her actions and the frustration she felt towards Big Dan.
"The hand placed securely on his groin did it for me!" Jamie said with a huge grin.
Sophie, Cole, Bryce, Chris, and John Murray all nodded, each with the same conclusions and warm gazes.
However, Big Dan tried, but failed, to hide his amusement. "Anyone can put on a show, Sarah."
"Oh, for god's sake!" Sarah shouted, storming back into Big Dan's face. "He was at my place last night screwing my brains out and woke up this morning in my bed! Tonight we went out for the most romantic night of our lives and went back to my apartment just before we came here to have sex! And once we leave here, we're going back for the same and maybe Saturday and Sunday, too!"
Big Dan finally broke his masquerade, developing a huge grin at the revelations. "I'm glad to hear that, Sarah. Because you're perfect for each other."
"YOU JUST SAID HE WASN'T!" Sarah's words were sharp and piercing as she shouted into his face, her body trembling with emotion.
Big Dan held his joy, gazing fondly at his pissed-off teammate in front of his face. "Many people say things they don't mean, Sarah. It took a while. I even thought I was going to have to resort to more drastic measures to make you stop giving a fuck about what people think about who you're dating. I can assure you no one's happier than I about that revelation that you scream out each other's name. And anyone whoever tries to stop that, leave them to me because I'll fill their faces in for you."
"You bastard!" Sarah glared into her teammate's face, her anger rising by the second. "You wound me up for a month for nothing! All of this was just to get me to admit that we're seeing each other!"
Big Dan scoffed, shaking his head. "You wound yourself up, Sarah. I can promise you will get teased for sharing a bed and dating each other, less so from us than the rest of the regiment, if they ever find out. But why do you give a fuck what those knobs think about you, anyway? You could simply have said to John over there that, so what if we're screaming each other's name? At least we're not single, unlike he is."
"Ya wee bastard!" John Murray hissed, glaring at Big Dan.
Big Dan's remarks set off laughter amongst the whole team, except Sarah, who still felt agitated.
The mood between the team improved in an instant, now knowing that everything Big Dan had said was merely to uncover beyond all doubt how Chuck and Sarah felt about each other.
"So none of what you said was serious?" she asked, now knowing he had played her all along ever since they got together a month ago.
Big Dan crossed his arms, relaxed and in a great mood. "Only one thing was true in what I've said to you this past month."
"What was it?" she asked.
"If you ever throw a punch at me, you'll get it back," Big Dan said, nodding to show he meant that one.
"I have a good mind to now," she said, fighting off a smile.
Jamie chortled. "Now we know why Chuck wanted to fill him in yesterday like I did!"
Everyone nodded as the whole team, minus Chris erupted in laughter.
Chris soon interrupted the laughter. "We already knew why anyway," he said, shaking his head, unamused. "None of us are stupid. But I said nothing because their private life is their private life. You bastards couldn't let it go and now you've all forced them into revealing it rather than let them tell us in their own time. I'm less than impressed with all of you for your conduct towards them."
"At least hear why I did it, Chris, fella," Big Dan protested.
Chris turned to face Big Dan. "I'm listening."
Everyone listened to pay attention to Dan.
"I knew from the moment Sarah tried to hide it from all of us on the first day of the Red Alert that she was attempting to put up obstacles between her and Chuck. I was just being a good friend and helping to break that obstacle down, knowing that in the long term, their hiding and living in denial about how they felt about each other was only going to create problems that didn't need to be created for their relationship. And I can't be having my two mates falling out when their relationship turns toxic because of it rather than trying to help them now, can I?" he asked with a smirk.
Sarah shook her head, holding a belittling glance at Big Dan. "I hate you," she said, half serious, half not.
"That hurts, Sarah, because I love you to bits," Big Dan said, his glance and tone wholly serious, leaving no doubt about how he really felt about her.
Cole pointed Big Dan at Chuck and said, "I think you owe my best man an apology for everything you've said here, which was way too far, despite there being a method behind your madness."
Everyone looked on as Big Dan nodded, then turned to look at Chuck. "Your girlfriend looks drop-dead gorgeous and all of us know she's the best-looking woman we've ever seen, especially tonight and because she's looking extra special. Seeing her look her very best tonight, I can tell you that you're a lucky man and if you ever hurt her, you'll answer to all of us. But I know you won't ever do that, and not because of the response you'll get from all of us, but simply because the truth is that of everyone on this team, if women were to flock to any of us, it would be you. You have everything all of us have. You're funny, confident, and everything else. But on top of it, you're also the only one who will always go the extra mile to help someone out, to treat them with respect, and to make them feel special. You're the perfect package, and Sarah is just as lucky to have you as you are to have her. I mean that, fella, and anyone who ever tries to say otherwise is a knob."
"For that, I'll forgive everything you said," Chuck said with a grin.
Sarah smiled joyfully at Big Dan's complete and total affirmation of her boyfriend. "I agree. Chuck's an amazing guy and even I couldn't have said it better."
"He is. But Dan's right too, in that he's also fortunate to have you, Sarah," Sophie said with a smile. "So come and get both of your drinks we ordered. You deserve them."
Sarah smiled at the friendly girl and moved with Chuck to take a spot at the bar.
The joy spread all around the team as warm spirits emerged.
"Sorry that we turned up five hours late," Sarah said with a sincere smile, looking around at her teammates.
Jamie met Sarah's glance and was first to answer. "Now that we know where you've both been, mate, it's fine and you have all of our support," he said with a loving smile, then turned more serious. "In a huge way, Dan was spot on with everything. Seriously, mate, stop giving a fuck what anyone thinks about you. Nobody else on this team gives a flying fuck what people think about us, and you need to do the same thing quickly, girl, or people will pick up on that and start preying on you."
Sarah nodded and was about to speak, but John Murray said, "Yeah, like Blue Team."
Big Dan shivered at the thought. "I shiver at the thought of that, fella. No one on Red Team can give a fuck what anyone thinks about us. All of us need to grow a fucking spine, starting from now."
Sarah joined everyone else in nodding. "You're both right. I'm going to change, starting from now, which is why we came here tonight. I came intending to tell you, anyway. Dan just got it out of me a different way."
The group shared laughter over her remarks.
"Just watch out for Speedy Gonzales!" Big Dan said, snorting.
His teammates, minus Bryce, joined him in fighting to hold in a sudden burst of laughter, but Bryce complained, "Fuck off!" glaring at Big Dan.
"Nah, Speedy, he's right," Jamie said, taking the lead again. "Here's your warning from me to keep your mouth shut about Chuck and Sarah. If you open your mouth to any of the lads in any other team or squadron, you'll get much worse from me than what Chuck gave you a month ago."
"And you'd better not be looking at Sarah anymore in the showers and if you have your eye on Sophie, then I'll turn you into mincemeat for the barbecue on Sunday!" Cole chuckled.
The team laughed at Bryce's expense, but Bryce was very embarrassed and felt inches tall.
"Fellas, give me a break!" Bryce protested, but his shame was clear in his trembling voice.
Big Dan turned to look at Bryce and said, "We will when you support them and concede that Sarah's the one that got away, fella."
"I do support them!" Bryce shouted, nodding. "Seeing them both together tonight, they look happy. Was I jealous? Yeah. But I want to take this chance to start new and fresh and I won't say a word to anyone!"
The team stopped laughing to hear Bryce out.
Bryce looked at Sarah, this time with no ogling. "You made a good choice, Sarah. Chuck is a nice bloke and I know he will look after you. I've said some things about you both since I joined, which I regret. I just want us all to be friends and a close team. Can't we all just be friends?"
"Who put something in Speedy's drink?!" John Murray joked, laughing.
However, his teammates all turned to glance at the Scot, less than impressed.
"After what he's just said, John. You're out of order," Chuck said with distaste.
Everyone nodded.
Bryce looked around the team, then stood and moved towards Chuck, holding out his hand. "Teammates and friends?"
"Teammates and friends," Chuck said, nodding, moving to shake Bryce's hand.
Bryce then changed his hand toward Sarah. "Teammates and friends?"
Sarah took a moment, then said, "Remember the part where I told you not to speak with me off-duty anymore?"
Bryce nodded, turning nervous.
"That's history," she said, moving to shake his hand. "We're friends again. But if you ever do anything to me again…"
"If he does, he's off the team!" Chris warned with a cast-iron glare at Bryce, meaning every word.
"I won't," Bryce said with a smile. "I'll do nothing maliciously towards any of you again."
Sarah joined everyone in nodding at him with newfound respect.
The exchanges that had taken place since the moment Chuck and Sarah arrived at the pub until Bryce's latest strengthening of the team's bond had everyone convinced that they had never been as tight as a close-knit unit as they were now.
"Right, fellas and ladies, let's get fucking pissed!" Big Dan said, exploding with enthusiasm.
Excitement exploded among the whole group of nine.
"Chuck and Sarah have hours of catching up to do to us!" Jamie said eagerly.
"And so do Sophie and I!" Cole chuckled boisterously.
Everyone laughed as Chuck and Sarah joined Cole and Sophie in moving to pick up their drinks, the whole group sharing smiles.
"We had cocktails and a full bottle of wine on our date," Sarah revealed with a smile.
"You greedy bastards!" Big Dan snorted. "I wholeheartedly approve of that. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves both in and out of the bedroom."
Sarah snorted in reply, gazing fondly at Big Dan, their friendship restored.
Their exchange only furthered the significantly growing excitement of the team as they all took gulps from their drinks.
"Jim's going to kick us out in an hour, though," Cole lamented.
Spirits dampened until Bryce said in excitement, "Let's go to a nightclub and get fucking wasted together! Come on!"
The team all pondered the suggestion for the briefest of moments, quickly sharing the excitement with Bryce.
"Good shout, mate!" Jamie chuckled with joy.
Everyone nodded as Big Dan said, "Speedy is impressing me more and more by the minute. Because that's an amazing shout and all of us need to do a lot of drinking in celebration of the relationship status change of our two mates."
"I'll drink to it," Chris said, raising his pint of Guinness to nod at Chuck and Sarah.
Everyone joined him in raising their glasses until the whole unit and Sophie—minus Chuck and Sarah—said, "Chuck and Sarah."
"I hope you two live happily ever after," Big Dan said, nodding. "Fucking seriously."
Sarah smiled at Dan. "Please don't tell anyone else about us," she stressed, glancing around at her teammates. "It's not their business to know that we're dating."
Everyone was about to speak, but Chris got in first. "As team leader, you have my word that none of us will tell anyone. If they do, I'll have the Colonel remove them from the regiment for bringing the team into untenable disrepute."
"You'd be well within your rights to do that, Chris, fella," Big Dan said, nodding. "And just so we're all clear, anyone who opens their mouth about them to anyone won't be walking again for a long time." he glanced sternly around his teammates, showing he meant every word.
Jamie looked around, sporting the same stern glance as Big Dan. "They'd get it from me as well."
"So now that we know where we all stand united on that matter because I'd join them too, let's move on because I don't intend to go home tonight until I'm slaughtered!" Cole chuckled rowdily. "And when they kick us out of the nightclub, you're all hereby invited back to mine and Sophie's place!"
Sophie nodded, signalling her agreement to Cole's after-hours invitation.
Excitement exploded again at the bar of the pub, further amplified when Bryce shouted, "Come on! Let's get fucking lashed!"
The warm spirits among the team inside the lively pub reached new heights, each of them feeling in the best mood and ecstatic to be in each other's company, with many hours of drinking still to come.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Yes, Big Dan did a Roan Montgomery but with roles reversed on Charah to see their passion. That was ALWAYS my intention for the story. I'm glad it's finally in it :) Next chapter, a few more rounds at Jimbo's, before Red Team heads to a nightclub together. The chapter will finish with some of the team at Cole's, while the rest head elsewhere. I wonder why? Find out next chapter, as well as who will steal the show on the dancefloor ;)
FOOTNOTES: I would love to hear your thoughts about what you think about the chapter today. Please review if you can! I'd appreciate seeing a few faces who've not appeared in a while, too. I miss hearing from you guys :)
