I run toward Andrew, his hands going out to catch me. He lifts me, my arms go out to my side, and my left leg points to the ceiling as my right stays perpendicular. Andrew walks in a circle. Bringing me down, my front flush against him. We drop to the floor wrapped into one another. The curtains go to close, as we hear applause.

The last two hours went in a blur. I was in the zone, in my element. A perfect show, everyone knows it. As we go to line up for final bows, Andrew stands next to me, wrapping his arm around my hip. My body cringes, but I breathe. The curtains open once more and the announcer starts to talk over the speakers.

“Ladies and gentlemen, your leading lady, Angelica Evans!” He says as the auditorium erupts in applause and cheers. Flowers go flying toward my feet. Flowers of all colors and sizes, then as if it was destined for me, a single red rose with a pink ribbon lands right at my feet, and I bend down to grab it.

My eyes lock on Giovanni’s as he and I share a moment. His smile is beaming at me. I lift the rose to my nose and inhale the fruity smell. I bow once again and step back as the announcer continues to call out the other cast members' names.

I rub my thumb up and down the stem of the rose. My smile deepens as I'm overwhelmed with a sense of accomplishment. Opening night and I nailed it. I danced my butt off and no one can take that from me. This is just the beginning.

Laughter fills the hallway as the girls and I make our way back to our dressing room. Looking down at the rose still in my hand, I slam into the back of Nikita.

“Why'd everyone stop?” I ask looking up to see what has everyone so frozen.

My eyes land on Giovanni. He’s leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed. His men surround him as one of them leans into his ear and his eyes instantly lock on mine. Walking through the girls toward him, I hear the girls whispering.

“Hi,” I say, bringing my rose to my noise again while I look up at him. “Thank you for my flower.” I stand on my toes to give him a kiss on the cheek.

“You're so very welcome, mio angelo,” he wraps his hand on my hip, leaning me into a hug. “Go get dressed, I'll wait out here.” His deep voice sending a shiver down my spine and a warmth between my legs.

I turn back to the girls and smile, waving at them to hurry up. I open the door to our dressing room and walk straight to my station. Taking out my clothes from my bag, I walk to the changing station. A second later, I'm walking out back to my station. Hearing all the whispers from the other dancers.

“Who is that out there, Angelica?” Nikita asks as she starts removing all the pins out of her hair.
