"I can’t believe I let you talk me into this!" Erin whispered to her former best friend, watching the center of the room with dread.

""C’mon Erin. It’ll be fun, I promise. Besides, you’re the one who said you had to learn." Nita whispered back, not a bit concerned at the heat in her friend’s words or the daggers shooting out of her eyes.

"I know! That’s why I asked you to help me. I did not ask you to bring me here!" Erin’s eyes were drawn once again to the center of the room where men and women were twirling gracefully around the dance floor. "I am nowhere near ready for that!" Erin’s eyes nearly bugged out of their sockets as one man dipped his partner in perfect time with the music.

"Of course you’re not, silly. This isn’t our class. That’s the advanced ballroom class. Our class starts in 10 minutes."

Erin dragged her gaze from the dance floor and saw that there were other people around the edges of the room watching the dancers with the same awestruck look in their eyes. Slowly, she started to relax.

As the music drew to a close, a warm, husky voice floated over the dancers, into Erin’s ears, and straight to the base of her spine, which tingled in response.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, as always that was something wonderful to watch. Keep practicing and I’ll see you on Thursday." The woman the voice belonged to shut off the CD player and began to load it with the CDs she needed for her next class. The beginners were always her favorites. Just a small amount of success would replace the apprehensive looks she was seeing now with beaming smiles. The advanced classes hardly needed her help at all; it was the beginners that made the most of her teaching skills, and Lil had to admit that she loved a challenge.

The advanced dancers were clearing out and the beginners were left milling aimlessly around the room.

"Ok everyone. Beginning ballroom is next so if your looking to boot scoot boogie," this was directed to the couple in jeans, boots, and cowboy hats, "that’s down the hall. My name is Lillian Patterson."

With a good-natured chuckle, the couple left and Lil was faced with a row of men and women. As usual there were more women than men, and only one man who didn’t seem to be with a wife or significant other.

"Those who already have a partner line up on the left, anyone who needs a partner grab from whoever’s left, ok? Perfect."

Erin turned to Nita, who was, as always, talking to the only unattached man in the room. Nita turned to Erin and said, "Do you mind if I pair up with him?" Nita’s eyes were pleading. Erin looked into those eyes, amazed at first and then rueful. She had never been able to resist her best friend, "No, I don’t mind. But you owe me big."

"You’re simply the best."

"I know, I know."
