“Okay class,” Mr. Martin said as he walked into the class room. “It’s another Monday which means a new topic for your projects. Before I get into that though, I just want to say that so far I am really enjoying everything that you all have turned in so far. I have yet to read anything that was the same from one couple to the next. For this week though I wanted to switch it up. You all will get to pick your own topic and how you want to present it. I’ll give you the period to talk it over with your partner and ten minutes before bell I will call up each group and ask what your topic for the week will be. Now, with that said get to it.” 

The sound of chairs scrapping against the tiled ground rang through the room. Celeste cringed at the sound. She never could stand the sound of so many chairs moving at once. The next to her moved back and Celeste looked over to see a grinning Nate. Mondays really were the only time they were able to sit next to each other in this class. The rest of the week was spent in their assigned seats. 

“I already have an idea.” Nate said placing his arm on the back of her chair, pulling Celeste’s seat closer to his.

“What kind of idea would that be, Mr. Anderson?” Celeste asked leaning her head on his shoulder and looking up at Nate through her lashes.

Nate bit back a groan. He was unable to keep control of his thoughts let alone his body when she looked at him like that. Some times he could swear she did it on purpose. Clearing his throat, Nate rolled his neck and blew out a breath. 

“Well, Miss Taylor, I think that our topic should be dance.” Nate replied 

“Dance? Why dance?” Celeste asked leaning away from him so she could look at him better. 

“Because it’s your specialty and I think it would be a damn good topic.” he answered with a shrug.

“Um okay, but, how will we present it?” she asked 

“A video. I’ll film it and then you can talk about it.” Nate replied “So for the rest of the next couple days I’ll sit in on your practice with Jay and record it. When I get enough footage you and I can sit down and edit it but, also write up a....speech I guess to present with it.”

“I don’t know about you recording my dancing.” Celeste said

“Who else am I going to record? I highly doubt that you’ll be alright with me going to a strip club and using that as footage.” Nate said 

“You better not even think about it.” Celeste warned with narrowed eyes.

“I was just making a point.” Nate said holding up his hands, palm out. 

“Have you ever been to a stip club?” Celeste asked

For him to bring that up he had to have gone to one, right? All Celeste knew was that he better not lie to her. Being in class or not she would slap up side the head if he lied. 

“I have.” Nate nodded looking Celeste square in the eyes. 

“Did you enjoy it?” Celeste couldn’t help but ask.

“Not nearly as much as the lap dance you gave me.” he whispered into her hear so no one else could hear.

Celeste’s felt her cheeks flame. He just had to go there, didn’t he? Celeste knew that she would never live that down when it came to Nate. 

“I’ve had very few lap dances in my life but, your’s was by far thee best ever. Would you like me to tell you how good it was.” Nate whispered, his lips brushing against her ear with every word he spoke. 

When Nate received no answer he went on.

“It was so good that it took every ounce of control I had not to ravage you right there in the middle of the room. It would have been one hell of a show for the bystanders had my restraint snapped.” he said 

Celeste’s eyes widened and she looked at Nate in shock. She could not believe he had just said. In class no less!

At the moment it took a lot for Nate to keep himself from laughing. Yes, he had been telling truth but, he had only said it tease her. Nate knew that when it came to the subject of sex all Celeste could do was blush. He found it cute much to her displeasure. Nate couldn’t help but love how innocent Celeste was and teased her every chance that he could. But, this past week hadn’t had the best of opportunities because of her practices with Jay.

“Back on topic,” Nate began “I’ll follow you back to your’s after school and film your practice session with Jay.”

Celeste was still in a bit of shock from his earlier comment so all she managed was a small nod. Nate grinned and got up to talk to Mr. Martin about the topic he and Celeste would be working on for the week. He knew that as soon as Celeste snapped out of it she would be plotting to get him back. Nate couldn’t wait to see what she would do. 

When school let out Nate and Celeste went separate ways. Celeste had asked Nate to bring Brooklyn along since she hadn’t seen the little cutie in a while. Nate had agreed not only because Celeste had asked but, Brooklyn had been saying ‘Cece’ none stop for days. Celeste pulled up to her house and just like everyday after school Jay was already there. She went up to her room to change into a pair of stretchy short shorts and a sports bra before going down to the basement to meet Jay. 

“Well, hello gorgeous!” Jay exclaimed running over to Celeste, picking her up in his arm and spinning her around a few times. 

“Hello to you too.” Celeste giggled

“Where’s that hunky piece of man flesh that you call a boyfriend?” Jay asked 

Every time she and Jay practiced he would always ask the same question and every time her answer was the same; ‘He’s at work.’ But, today, Nate wasn’t and Celeste was a little nervous about him coming over. Nate hadn’t seen any of the routines that she and Jay would be using in the competition. Celeste’s wasn’t sure how he would react to them.

“He’ll be here in a little bit.” Celeste replied stepping out of Jay’s arms.

“Oh em gee! Are you saying that Mr. Hunky-Man-Body-Made-By-The-Gods is taking time out of his busy schedule to come and hang out with us commoners?” Jay asked with mock exasperation. 

Jay being Jay also had to fan himself with his hand as if the thought itself had him over heating. Celeste thought that he most likely was, Jay always got that way when it came to Nate. She shook her head and rolled her eyes. Settling on the floor Celeste began some warm-up stretches.

“So, which dance are we working on today?” Jay asked taking a spot next to her. 

“We’ll do the first dance today. It’s already perfect but, I just want to make sure that it’s perfect, perfect, you know?” Celeste said 

“Got’cha!” Jay nodded “But, what about the rest?”

“We’ll work on them over the next few days.” she replied 

“You do realize that the competition starts on Friday, right?” Jay asked peaking over at her. 

“Yes, I’m aware of that.” Celeste nodded “Our routines are just about perfect. We may not have a boat load of time to work out the kinks but, I’m positive that we can do it.”

“Okay, if you say so.” Jay said warily.

“Where’s all the negativity coming from?” Celeste asked with a raise of her eyebrow “Usually I’m the one being all negative and freaking out over our competition and you’re the one who tells me ‘It’s going to be fine.’ and ‘We’ve got this!’ where that Jay?”

“It’s just...well...we’ve never done routines like this before. We’re taking a big risk with them this time around.” Jay sighed 

“I know...but we’ve got to push ourselves to our limits with dancing. We’ve been playing it safe for far too long and I really think it’s time for them to really see what we’re made of.” Celeste said reaching out and placing a hand on Jay’s forearm which was stretched out in front of him.

“You’re right,” Jay grinned “Those other competitors better watch their back because Jayce is coming!”

“Jayce?” Celeste scoffed “Really Jay?”

“What, I think it’s cute.” he sniffed sticking his nose in the air. 

“Whate-...” Celeste started to say before a beautiful little voice interrupted her.

“CECE!” Brooklyn squealed as she ran over to Celeste.

Brooklyn tackled Celeste in a hug with enough force to knock her over from her crouched position. Celeste was flat on her back with Brooklyn sprawled over her, arms wrapped tight around Celeste’s neck. Cece couldn’t help but laugh and squeeze little Brook tightly as well. Oh how she missed that little girl and her contagious smiles. Holding on to Brooklyn for just a little longer Celeste got to thinking about the competition and how much she wanted Nate and Brooklyn in the crowd watching. Them being there would mean the world to her. But, she would have to wait till practice was finished before she could talk to Nate about it. 

“HELLO, MY TWO FAVORITE, SEXY DANCERS!” Nina shouted as she bounced her way into the room. 

“Don’t mind her, she’s had a few rock star’s this afternoon.” Maddie said shaking her head as she followed after her crazy, sugar high twin.

“A few?!” Hunter scoffed “Try like five rock star’s since school let out.”

Celeste looked around at her group of friends who had all situated themselves around the room. Maddie and Hunter were leaning against the wall shaking their heads at Nina. Nina was bouncing around the room like a freaking jack rabbit on crack. Celeste didn’t know who had allowed Nina to drink so many rock star’s but, whoever it was needed a good ol’ ass whooping!

“Okay, which one of you gave Nina rock star?” Celeste asked looking between Hunter and Maddie.

“Don’t look at us.” Hunter said 

“Yeah, Hunter had to put gas after school and Nina volunteered to go inside and pay. She was already half way through her last can by the time she came out of the station.” Maddie sighed 

“Well, someone please strap her down to something I don’t want her bouncing all over the place while Jay and I practice. All we need is someone getting hurt today.” Celeste said 

Hunter and Maddie walked over the Nina and both held on to an arm each. That did little to help calm Nina but, at least she was confined to one place while she came down from her rock star high. Celeste knew for a fact that Nina would regret drinking so many as soon as she crashed.

“Shoe’s woman, you need your shoes!” Nina shouted 

I looked over at Nina and laughed. She had a huge smile on her face and she was bouncing up and down, Hunter and Maddie’s hands holding in to her didn’t stop that. Walking over to the corner of the room I slipped my feet into my dancing shoes and strapped them up.

“You ready to do this?” Nate asked as he set his camera on the tripod.

“Are you ready to see what else I can do?” Celeste countered walking over to the iPod dock and pressing play. 

Nate grinned and nodded. The song ‘Drop it low’ by Kat Deluna began to play. Celeste have edited all the music they were using for the routines so they would fit the time frame allotted. Celeste let the music flow through her body, letting her body do what it does best - dance. Everything around her disappeared, to Celeste there was only she and Jay in the room. They were the only thing that mattered along with the choreography and music. Jay and Celeste went through half of the dance before stopping. Restarting the music and pushing pause Celeste turned to Jay.  

“Okay, let’s work on the lift.” Celeste said

“It isn’t really a lift.” Jay pointed out 

“Whatever, you lift me and I wrap my legs around you. It’s the same freaking thing.” Celeste huffed “We should do the spin at the end again too. I really do not want you dropping me during any of those moves.”

“When have I ever dropped you?” Jay asked 

“Do I really need to give you a run down of that?” Celeste asked 

“Let me rephrase, when have I ever dropped you during competition?” Jay said 

“That would be never but, still. I am not going to take any chances.” Celeste said “Now can we please just go through them again?”

“Okay,” Jay nodded and got into position. “Why are we doing again if we both know that the dance is already perfect?”

“I just want to make sure that there is nothing else we need to work out with this routine.” Celeste replied 

Celeste and Jay went through the lift and spin a few times. When they were both satisfied with it they went ahead and did the whole dance. They worked out the few kinks that they needed to and did it again. After doing the dance three more times and making it as perfect as possible they wrapped up their practice. 

“We’ll do two more routines tomorrow and the other two on Wednesday.” Celeste said doing more stretches. “On Thursday we’ll do all of them and on Friday if we have time we’ll do them again.”

“Sounds good to me.” Jay nodded 

“I can’t freaking wait to watch you two preform!” Nina squealed clapping her hands as best she could with the restraints on her arms. 

“It’s definitely going to be hot,” Maddie grinned 

“I’m probably going to have to punch someone like last time.” Hunter groaned 

Celeste and Jay shared a looked and burst out laughing. The last time they had a competition Hunter had punch a guy in the face because of some things he had said about Celeste. Till this day Hunter refuses to tell her what it was saying that it wasn’t something a lady should hear. Celeste really didn’t understand why he kept it from her or his reason for it. She had heard just about everything bad that could be said about a girl since she was friends with Hunter. It wasn’t him who said them it was his guy friends. 

“Hey, Nate, where’s Jess?” Celeste asked taking a sip of water that Jay had handed her.

She had only just noticed that Jess wasn’t among the group that had bombarded her practice today.

“She’s over at one of her friends house studying for a test coming up or something like that.” Nate said with a shrug s he put away his camera and tripod. 

“What’s going on with the two of you?” She asked directing her question to Hunter, who had let go of Nina. 

Seemed like she was finally calm enough not to break anything with all her hyperness. 

“Nothing,” Hunter replied “We talked and that’s about it right now.”

“Oh,” Celeste said

Celeste had thought that he would have at least asked on a date or something by now. Their get together last week wasn’t something any one would consider a date since it was a group thing. Celeste shrugged it off and figured Hunter was just being an idiot right now. Soon enough he would grow a pair and actually ask the girl out to dinner or something. 

Celeste looked around the room and spotted Brooklyn sitting in the corner playing with some toys. With a smile Celeste walked over and gave Brook a kiss on he cheek. Brooklyn looked up at her and smiled.

“What about the daddy, doesn’t he get a kiss?” Nate asked with a pout.

Celeste could see the teasing glint in his eye. She still had to get him back for what he had said to her in class earlier that day. Cece wasn’t really sure what she was going to do just yet but, she would figure it out eventually. She might just enlist the help of the twins. After they were done laughing about it they would help her out. She walked over to Nate and gave him a kiss on his cheek as well. Nate pouted even more and Celeste knew that he hadn’t wanted just a simple kiss on the cheek but, that was all he was getting right now. 

“Okay, I’m going to jump in the shower and when I’m finished I’ll meet you all in the kitchen and whip up something for dinner.” Celeste said as she walked backwards out of the room.

She didn’t take long in the shower. Celeste was too hungry to take a long shower. She just made sure she was clean and her hair was washed. Everyone was sitting at the dinning table talking when Celeste walked in. To her surprise Aaron was also among them. Celeste stayed out of everyone’s line of sight and smiled and she watched Aaron with Brooklyn. He had always been good with kids and Celeste couldn’t wait till her brother had one of his own. 

Aaron had come home early from the store to see a bunch of cars parked at his house. He knew that only Jay was supposed to be here so that he and Celeste could practice. Aaron didn’t know that everyone else was going to be there as well. Walking into the house Aaron could hear the chatter coming from the kitchen so he headed that way.

Sitting around the table were Jay, Nate and his daughter Brooklyn, Hunter and the twins. Shaking his head Aaron set his keys on the counter and took a seat the table.

“What’s up man,” Hunter said slapping Aaron on the back. “You’re back early.”

“Yeah, Carol can take of thing at the store.” Aaron said “So what are you all doing here?”

“We came to watch Cece and Jay practice.” Maddie replied “We wanted to know how far they came along with their dances.”

“How is it?” Aaron asked 

“Well we only saw the first dance they were doing and it was hot!” Maddie answered with a grin.

“Every dance Cece and I do is hot.” Jay said rolling his eyes.

“How are the other routines coming along?” Aaron asked Jay

“They’re all pretty much set. Cece and I are going to work out the kinks over the next couple days.” Jay replied 

“The competition is this week, right?” Aaron asked 

“Yup in four days.” Jay nodded 

Aaron always loved going to Celeste’s competitions. They way she danced was just amazing and he knew that their parents would be so proud of how far she had come. They probably were proud her anyway. Aaron couldn’t wait for the weekend to come. He was taking leaving the store in Carols hands while he stayed in Phoenix with everyone else for the duration on the competition. Well, depending on how far Cece and Jay make it. Aaron had a feeling they would go all the way this time.

Aaron looked over at Nate to see Brooklyn looking at him. A small smile graced Aaron’s lips. He remembered when Cece was that age. She had always followed him around like she was is tail. Always wanting to play with him even if his friends were over. Aaron could never say no to her and didn’t ever feel the need to back then or growing up. 

“Do you mind?” Aaron asked holding his hands out toward Brooklyn.

“Uh, n-no not at all.” Nate answered handing his daughter over to Aaron.

Nate was a little shocked. He hadn’t really spent a lot of time around Aaron in the time he had known Celeste. So he didn’t know that Aaron actually liked kids. Nate was even more shocked that Brooklyn went to Aaron without a fuss. He had noticed that his daughter had been staring at Aaron since he walked in. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Celeste leaning around the entry way for the kitchen. She had a smile on her face as she watched Aaron and Brooklyn. 

Nate smiled looking back at Aaron and his daughter. Aaron was talking softly with Brooklyn though Nate was sure that Aaron wouldn’t understand half the things that Brooklyn was saying. Most of the time not even Nate could understand her and she’s his child. He was startled out of his thoughts when Celeste walked over and sat on his lap. She would be the death of him one day, Nate just knew it. If it wasn’t Celeste it would be Jessica or Brook when she got older.

Celeste leaned against his chest and Nate wrapped his arms around her waist. She leaned her head against his shoulder and looked up at him with a smile. Nate returned her smile and shifted his attention back to Brooklyn. His daughter was smiling and giggling at whatever Aaron was saying to her. 

“I can’t wait till Aaron has kids of his own.” Celeste whispered 

“You want little mini Aaron’s running around all vying for their aunty Cece’s attention?” Nate questioned 

“Yeah, we could use some life around this place.” Celeste replied 

“It’s not that bad.” Nate said 

“You try living in a house where you’re the only one home most of the time.” Celeste said 

“You got me and Brooklyn.” Nate said nuzzling the side of Celeste’s neck. “You’ve even got Jess, Jay, Hunter and the twins.”

“Yeah, I do.” Celeste smiled 

She still couldn’t wait for Aaron to have some kids though.
