"What the —"
Watching Miles move his hands so casually in the air yet each shift and turn of it smoothly synced with the beat left her breathless in shock.
’Am I daydreaming?’
She thought, the mont Miles moved his feet, performing a seamless moon-walk.
In fact, there was so much beauty in his movents that it could be compared to famous dancers all over the world.
’He’s a born dance genius.’
As Cassie continued to watch him, the realization dawned on her that his earlier words weren’t a joke.
"Okay, stop, stop."
She stepped forward, patting and shaking him out of his dance mode with a wide smile on her face. Her excitent couldn’t be hidden.
With Miles’ impressive talent, her previous dance partner who had been bought with money could only hold a candle to him, let alone Clara and her clique of bootlicker dance partners.
’My brother is a genius.’
Opening his eyes as he stood still, Miles saw Cassie’s excited expression and grinned smugly.
"Didn’t I—"
"I know, I know. Co let’s try this."
Though it was difficult to swallow her pride, Cassie didn’t care and cut off his smug comnt.
The next mont she brought up her phone and searched up video clips.
In the scene of the first video that appeared, there was a male and female ballet dancer in white silk clothing. Under the classical symphony, the dancers stood close to each other. Then the next mont, the girl tiptoed and kissed the boy, locking their lips still, then slowly, in a rhythmic manner, wrapped her arms behind his neck, holding her elbows to create a lock.
Standing composed while keeping his hands to his side, the boy leaned backward and began a steady fast spin.
The girl’s feet left the floor at the sa ti, spinning mid-air.
(Performance: The Flying Kiss)
A strange familiar silence befell the room as both Miles and Cassie stared at the screen in a stunned daze.
The next mont, Cassie’s cheeks heated up and she swiftly swiped the screen repeatedly, finally stopping at a random video.
’Wow. That was quite intense. Co to think of it, being a ballet dancer isn’t so bad.’
But as if there was an unspoken agreent between them, they both didn’t speak and stared at the screen at the next video.
In it, a boy turned a girl then grabbed her firmly by the waist and lifted her in one smooth motion.
The girl elegantly stretched her limbs, perching on her toes as she landed on the floor then stretched her legs high with the boy supporting her with a firm hold.
’Quite a lot of physical touch, I wonder if she’s going to agree to it.’
After her shy outburst just now, Miles doubted her credibility to act natural with him but the next mont, Cassie raised her head and gazed at him with a conflicting expression, then a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.
"Miles, promise not to get any perverted thoughts."
She spoke solemnly, her tone filled with seriousness as she stared into his eyes.
’Huh?’
Stunned, Miles dumbly nodded, intrigued by what she seed to want to say.
"Say that you promise ."
However, Cassie persisted, not taking his nod for it.
Amused, he nodded and spoke.
"Alright. I promise you."
"Good."
Cassie nodded, her serious face cracking to reveal a slight blush.
"Okay. I agree you’re talented. However, I need to taste your core strength. So lift like in the video just now."
Stunning Miles, Cassie actually stretched out her arms, staring at him while biting her lips.
"What are you waiting for?"
She rolled her eyes.
"Yes, ma’am."
Miles reacted and acted fast.
"Who are you calling— Arrrrghhhhh!"
Halfway, Cassie scread out loud at the top of her lungs as she felt her vision blur. The floor which had been so close was now distant. She almost couldn’t feel her own weight due to the soft, firm grip of Miles’ hands that felt like it absorbed her weight.
Realizing this, Cassie quieted down with mixed feelings.
5, 10 seconds... he didn’t even tremble or shake once, leaving Cassie in awe as she ca to know the tip of his strength.
"Put down."
Eventually she said after thirty seconds, her voice laced with a defeated sigh at his stamina.
Miles did as told and the corner of his mouth raised as if mocking her.
"What do you think?"
He asked her with a smirk.
"You win. Let’s go, there’s a yoga practice studio at the community center. It’s used by housewives every morning but it should be unoccupied now. My room is too small for practice."
Cassie said, turning away from him with a roll of her eyes and walked towards the shoe rack where she carefully selected a black pair of ballet shoes and put it inside a small handy bag.
"Grab two bottled waters downstairs. I need to pack up so other things. I’ll fill you in on my ideas on our way."
Shaking his head unwillingly, Miles still left the room.
"Shit! I should have known."
The mont he descended the stairs, he recalled the sudden promise he made to Cassie and the fact they’ll actually be in close physical contact while training.
Under such a situation, his chance to fuck her was incredibly high but since he already made a promise, the aning was now clear to him.
’That damn. Am I so dumb to not have realized the mont she said it.’
Shaking his head, his impression of her deepened.
’To think she instantly thought so far before I made sense of it. But whatever, it’s going to be her loss.’
Thinking of how he now had Hannah and Debra, his regret faded.
’There’s also that rogue, Josephine. She’s definitely up to sothing.’
After grabbing what was needed for their journey, in the hot afternoon, the Sinclair step-siblings walked through the isolated Sunflower Estate, wowing a few neighbors who happened to be passing by with their handsoness and beauty.
(Sorry for the two failed Chapters. I have been putting up.)
