Chapter Fifteen

Roman

I stand backstage as I wait for my song to start playing. It feels like I haven’t been here in months, but in reality it’s only been two weeks. I hated missing last weekend, but all the acts know that throughout the year four special acts are booked and we need to give them the stage without complaint. Tonight I feel tense, like the unspent energy bubbling up inside me is going to make me explode if I don’t use it up. Normally I would have my day job to occupy me, but with the court case ending and Thanksgiving, I haven’t been to work in four days. I’ve been bouncing around the house, trying to get Grey to entertain me but just annoying him in the process. He's been on night shift all week, so spent most of his days sleeping and I had to let him. A grumpy Grey is not a fun Grey.

I’ve felt the need to dance for most of the week, and now, standing here, I can barely stop myself from running out onto the stage. If anyone had asked me when I was younger what I wanted to be, I would have said, without a single second of doubt, that I wanted to be a lawyer. There is just something about helping someone who can’t fight for justice themselves, and I want to be the one who does that for them. But there has always been a part of me that wanted something more, a part of my soul that needs to dance. I knew I would never be able to make a career from it, so this job is perfect for me.

I hear the first few beats of Love In This Club by Usher and my heart starts to beat faster in anticipation. I would love to say that the only thing making my heart race is the dancing, but it’s not. I haven’t seen Trey for five days now, and as much as I'm not guaranteed that he's out there waiting for me, I'm hoping with every part of me that he is. He’s come to see me every other night I’ve worked, and the need to see him tonight is almost as strong as the need to dance. I keep trying to convince myself that I can’t fall for Trey, but I know I already have. Every second I don’t spend with him is filled with a powerful craving to see him.

The stage lights dim and I position myself, ready to start. Walking onto the stage I automatically search the crowd for Trey, looking for that familiar smile that I love. When my eyes connect with his dark ones, my stomach explodes with butterflies, and I know that I have given him my heart without really meaning to. My excitement fades quickly when I see him lean over and talk to the attractive guy next to him. They look comfortable sitting there together, like they know each other very well,
