Spinning around right into his chest, her eyes flickered upwards to the man that had captured her. In that moment, she knew - she confirmed the feelings that were deep inside of her. She was falling for him and it scared her. It scared her more than anything than she had ever been. The feeling of his hand moving to her midriff, it made a small gasp release from her lips as she allowed her feelings to pour into their rehearsal. The song echoing through the empty dance studio, knowing her every cue. Spinning in his arms, she began to move her arms fluidly, legs elongated to elegance just as he had imagined her. Her facial expressions werenât faked this time, but instead, read. Feeling the emotion of the song and the dance that they had learned together. Swiftly carrying her feet, she ran and spun in the air allowing him to catch her - she felt her heart beating heavily. Dancing along with the music that had carried her, she lost herself withinâ it. The song ending, their REAL ending to the dance as they stood across from one another - breathing heavily as she kept her gaze upon his. âCan I please have a break..?â Voice soft, nearly breaking as she cleared her throat. She was falling for him.Â
As much trouble as theyâd been having over the course of a week trying to get the steps of their routine down while finding enough harmony between them to execute the number without forcing it, Ben hadnât anticipated the sudden lack of resistance in Rey. She allowed him to guide her, to lift and carry her suddenly weightless form. He nearly found himself unable to focus, mesmerized by the way her body moved, so arresting and graceful, just as he had envisioned it. It was like a dream come to life, and he completely lost himself in it, only to waver once the dance had ended. When Rey broke the silence(between them), she dragged her partner out of his reverie and earned a stilted nod of his head. Finding the will to lift his feet, he made his way over to the stereo system and turned the music off, panting heavily in an effort to catch his breath. âWhat was that?â He finally asked, glancing over his shoulder and in Reyâs direction. âI mean, where did that come from?â
