Ch. 14

Mia gets up the next morning with mixed feelings. She doesn't know what to expect. Can she get more out of her date than Jack hopes for?

Sighing, she wakes Sophia and Finn. Now that everyone knows, they decided to spend the last night together. "Hey, wake up your lovebirds.", Last night they asked Mia to wake her up so that they could share every minute of the day with each other. Really cute both of them. Finn buries his face in Sophia's hair. “Don't want to!” He groans. Your roommate grins broadly and snuggles up to her boyfriend. "My job was just to wake you up, what you do with time is your business." With that she goes into the bathroom.

She curls her black hair and highlights her green eyes with light eyeshadow. Dab a bit of perfume behind her ear and that's it. She has opted for dark skinny jeans and a green V-neck top.

Mia briefly thinks about going into the room again, but the possibility of disturbing the new couple with something intimate prevents her. In the kitchen she meets Aria. "Good morning.", The shy real estate agent nods encouragingly. “Thank you for calling us to our senses yesterday. I didn't think that I would behave like that. ”, Mia bites into the bread she has just made. “This leaves no one indifferent. I also thought in such a hostile way, but I just didn't say it out loud. ”“ Then you don't need to pretend to be a moral apostle. ”Emilia snuck up from behind. "Hold the edge.", Summer appears behind the bosom model. “What are you getting involved in?”, The peace lasted a long time. It's amazing how much you change in a situation like this. Nobody is resistant to it.

Jack feels like he's being watched over his morning coffee. Max holds the camera at him, but his friend's look is grim and he can't shake the feeling that this has something to do with him.

He's been thinking of Mia since he opened his eyes this morning. Did she get his apology? Did she accept them? What will she say about her date?

Sighing, he finishes breakfast before heading to the villa.

Aria opens it and accompanies him into the kitchen. "Good morning.", Summer and Mia are talking to each other, Sophia is just coming down the stairs. Still in her pajamas and completely messed up. Her face is red and her eyes radiate an incredible satisfaction. She probably spent the night with Finn. The thought still leaves him speechless. He would never have thought that Finn would bind himself to someone. To him, he'd been an eternal bachelor, somehow.

“ Have a nice day before the decision is made tonight. Mia, are you too done? ", Grinning, she stuffs the rest of her bread into her mouth and nods. So she forgave him.

“ Today we will learn how to dance tango.” “NO! You didn't really prepare that. You're crazy. ", She laughs and looks at him from the side. "I wouldn't have rated you as a dancer." Where Mia is right, she is right. Jack wants to see Mia dance the tango. How she moves. That's why he decided to make a monkey for a day. The ride is pretty easy and better than he expected.

At the hall a tango couple greets them warmly. They will show you the basic steps and if all goes well you will learn a few special steps that you always see in movies.

" Good afternoon. Come in. Since we don't have much time, we should start right away. ”, The young woman has put her long blond years up. She is wearing a red dress that is quite short. It barely covers her gorgeous back. The man has shoulder-length brown hair, blue eyes and is wearing a dashing suit.

The hall you are entering now has mirror walls and a glass front. "Wow!" Mia is amazed. "Here, get changed in the cabins."

#

Mia looks at the rag she should put on. IT is blue, has no straps and reaches just above your bottom. Slits in the back everywhere. It's like wearing a second skin. "I can't dance like that.", She steps out of the cabin, shaking her head. She discovers that Jack is already done. He is wearing a blue silk shirt and black pants. In this outfit he looks totally different. Right ... male. Not that he usually isn't. "OK. I see I've chosen the right outfit for you. ", Luke, her dance teacher flatters Mia more than once before Rina, the dance teacher, stops him. “Luke, stop playing Prince Charming. You embarrass them. Let's begin. ”, Rina and Luke position themselves and turn on the music.

The two skilfully whirl around the hall for the next three minutes. They dance daring lifting figures and the steps are so fast that Mia can't quite keep up.

She claps excitedly at the end of the song. “That looks great. I envy your talent. So much body control. How long have you been dancing together? ”, The couple bows and laughs. "Since three years. We took part in competitions for two years. But since last year we've only been training. It's much more relaxed and you still get recognition. Teaching is just more fun in the long run. ”Luke claps twice. "Go Go! Stand up. “, Jack and Mia clumsily try to imitate their posture. But they are corrected here and there. "We haven't even started yet and I can't remember anything." Jack grumbles just so loud that Mia can hear it. This may indeed be something.

The next hour they practice basic steps, Mia understanding everything faster than Jack. He sweats and is so concentrated that he bites his outstretched tongue. That looks really cute.

But Luke breaks off. “Stop, stop, stop. It won't work like that. Jack dance and practice a little with Rina while I show Mia more difficult steps. ", Mia leans over to Jack and whispers in his ear:" It will be fine once you get the hang of it. "

Your new dance partner is clearly more demanding. "Where's the hip, Chica?", That's not as easy as it looks. It takes precious time to let your hips dance with every step. "Just like that! Now you hook your left leg under mine. Yes Perfect. Now slowly lift your right leg and stretch it upwards. “Oh God. It's way too heavy. Still she lifts her leg. She clings her hands to his shoulders. "OK then. Stretch it out! ”, That can't go well. Mia stretches her leg up in slow motion. "Bravo!", Mia beamed enthusiastically at Luke. She didn't think that would work the first time. "Okay, since that worked out so well, let's try something else. You must know the character from Dirty Dancing. ”Her eyes widen. "What if you let me fall?" "I won't!" "If I jump wrongly?" "Then you fall on me!", She thought hard. Should she really try that? Jack brought them here to learn tango. For his sake, she nods to Luke with a queasy feeling in her stomach. "All right, you run towards me, you put your hands on my shoulders.", He puts her on position. “And I put my hands on your waist. About as. You jump and I lift you up when you feel safe d stretch your arms to the side. If that's not the case, that's nothing bad. ", Luke got pretty close to her. It's kind of uncomfortable for her. This was supposed to be a date with Jack and now she's dancing with a stranger. "Okay!", Mia turns away and takes a few steps back. Her gaze crosses Jack, who is still practicing the basic steps. However, it looks safer now. His face looks a little irritated and angry. What is going on in him right now?

#

What is Mia doing? She can't flirt with that Luke! The first figure you tried looked forbidden and she's laughing at him too. "Eyes on your partner.", Rina takes a breath. "Sorry!", He stepped on her foot. “Don't pay attention to Luke. He flirts with everything that is not on the tree at three. ”Somehow it makes it even worse. Why isn't Mia faster than the three seconds? In addition, she is not one of many, but someone who stands out from the crowd. "Please concentrate your thoughts on the dancing.", But Jack remains distracted. Because Mia runs towards Luke. What the hell are they planning? Mia jumps and Luke lifts her over his head. He holds his breath. But when he notices that Luke won't drop her, he admires her. Her movements are so fluid that you might think Mia has been doing this all her life.

" Jack!", Rina picks up her foot and howls. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. ”He feels like a trample. He slowly regrets that he really wanted to see Mia dance the tango. "It's okay, I've already had significantly less talented customers.", She tries to dismiss it with a laugh.

Mia has her feet back on the ground and is watching him. Oh no, now she probably thinks he's the total loser. "Hey! Keep your head held high. Some are just not made for it. ”, But Mia says this more amused than condescending or disappointed. “The attempt counts. Come on, let's dance the basic steps again. ”, She holds out her hand to him. Charmed by her demeanor and the handling of his obviously non-existent talent, he takes her hand.

Their looks hold tight. They dance and forget everything around them. Jack loses himself in her bright green eyes. The laugh lines around them and their long black eyelashes.

Your steps will slow down. Your breath has adjusted to one another. They go around in circles. Time flies in slow motion. Mia's arms wrap around his neck. Their bodies are touching. Jack pulls them close so that they melt from the waist down.

Then time stops. The moment is frozen.

They keep eye contact, they have given up dancing.

His arms wrap around her. Mia has to stand on tiptoe so that they are reasonably at eye level.

Everything is incredibly intense. Jack feels every hair that brushes her body. Her hands slowly clawing his hair. Suddenly her gaze falls ... on his lips. Yours open up invitingly. His head comes closer to Mias all by itself. Not a single thought can form anymore. Everything cooked soft. He breathes, but he has no idea how to do it.

When their lips touch, Mia lets out a heartbreaking sigh. You'd almost think that she wouldn't survive without that kiss. Tenderly they research one another, are lost in one another. A vortex of feelings that pulls you deeper and deeper. The reality and its surroundings have long been forgotten.

So deep that they cling to each other like drowning people. Jack throws a jolt. He deepens the kiss when that is possible. Kisses one way to her ear. Then to her neck. Just can't get enough of her. Her eyes have closed and her mouth opened in a silent moan. Triumph flows through him, because Mia reacts so strongly to him. He tastes her skin, sucks on it to memorize her taste before moving back to her mouth. Once there, he was overwhelmed by pure passion. Desperate, he presses Mia against him. Somehow he's still too far away from her. His hand disappears into one of the slits on the back of the dress. It's better, Jack thinks with satisfaction.

#

Mia is intoxicated. Your brain has long since said goodbye. What can become of a dance. She has no idea how long they've been there. Wherever you are. If someone is watching ... oh no matter, he should. Panting, she breaks the kiss briefly. Jack uses this break to have fun on her neck. He finds the point where her pulse is racing particularly interesting.

Then, like a soap bubble, your moment bursts when someone claps and hoots loudly. They flinch, startled.

“ That was incredible. As if you were on fire. It got really hot in here. ”Luke whistles appreciatively. “I know you have five other ladies at home, but what are they there for? As an ornament? You don't want to tell me that you are on fire with anyone else as well. "

With that he hit Mia's sore spot. Your smile disappears immediately and the wonderful, almost magical moment is destroyed. Mia knows she's sworn to fight. It's just hard to go against his feelings.

She gently breaks away from Jack.

She reads amazement in Luke's face. But that doesn't last long, then his gaze flits to Jack. He glares at them in disbelief and a bit angry. God, that's good. To see that an outsider, someone strange, finds the situation so impossible. However, she got it on herself. SHE got involved and believed the jealousy and depression ricochet off her.

Rina tries to defuse the whole thing a little. "How about a glass of champagne to cool off?" "Gladly!", Mia grabs every straw that brings her to other thoughts. Jack looks at her sideways. He has no idea what's going on inside her. He probably doesn't even understand that his behavior hurts her and others.

" Thank you!", The tingling in her throat relaxes her. Mia takes a deep breath. Alcohol has always had a calming effect on them. At least if she doesn't overdo it. The cameras are still filming and Max, who has followed her every step of the way over the past few days, nods encouragingly to her. “My mum always wanted me to learn to dance. Unfortunately, I never did it. It was great to try something so exotic. The lifting figure was almost my favorite part of that day. ”, Rina and Luke casually accept the thanks. "You weren't bad either, Señora ." Luke winks at her. There is still a little talk, but Jack keeps his distance. He doesn't even accidentally touch her with his arm. That drives them crazy. She had the right to be offended or even disappointed. Now he is playing the deceived.

Let the men understand.

Is Mia mad? She has been aloof since Luke's remark. She talks to him and sometimes laughs, but the glow in her eyes is muted.

Of course he kisses others. How else is he supposed to find the right one? It's not like he goes to bed with everyone, right? After all, there were already those on this show. It's not forbidden! On the way back they talk about irrelevant stuff. It makes absolutely no sense. Their behavior changes from one second to the next.

Maybe he should just let her go !!

Let one understand women.
