CHAPTER EIGHT

Three days later she was in the rehearsal room, trying yet again to simplify the damn dance so Josh wouldn’t trip over his own feet. He had a mental block going on when it came to the steps. She’d come in early to work on it and he was due to join her any minute. Now that a few contestants had been eliminated booking the rehearsal space wasn’t so hard.

She took a break, sitting on the floor and drinking an energy ration. Dinner last night with Tass and Liam had turned out great. In fact it had been fun. Josh wore his version of casual clothes, and insisted on bringing a bottle of wine as a gift. The evening had been stilted at the beginning but he was charmingly able to put her friends at ease. Tass cooked a pasta dish she said was her favorite since childhood and with the bread and sides she’d ordered from the ship’s food services, the meal was filling and delicious. Josh and Liam found a mutual interest in tisba and spent much of the time debating the merits of various teams and debating who might win the Sectors Championship this year. The two men favored opposing clubs and made a small wager on the big game.

After dinner the two couples sat in the small living room and binge watched the latest episodes of the Carovintonns soap opera, making snarky comments about the new plot line recently written into the trideo, where two of the billionaire leads were competing in a dance competition. Josh insisted he was better than either of the actors, which Micki and Tassia hotly contested, pointing out the actors were also professionally trained dancers.

“I hate to break it to you,” Tassia had said with a smile, “But if you were in this competition in the show, you’d lose.”

“I’d be the fan favorite though,” Josh said confidently with a wink at Micki. He took another handful of the salty snack mix Liam had brought out and then a swig of his beer.

“You’re always my favorite,” Micki said, squeezing his arm and ignoring the way her friends exchanged meaningful looks.

At the end of the evening she and Josh had gone to his suite and made love for hours.

Pretty much a perfect night. With a sigh Micki had to admit it was unlikely ever to be repeated. When Josh was free of the ISD and back in his own world, he wouldn’t have time or probably the desire to kick back with the likes of her friends and drink feelgoods and criticize the latest trideo soap opera. She had to giggle at the mere idea. The Nebula Zephyr was its own world, not the real world.

Which was undoubtedly why all her previous romances had come to bad ends.

Counting this week’s dance she had four weeks of competition left to enjoy being involved with Josh Benfield. Not that he’d said anything about ending their relationship but he didn’t have to, did he? It was obvious.
