Chapter 13

‡

THE AFTERNOON PERFORMANCE finished and Aliya stayed after the stage crew cleaned up and reset the stage for the evening. Instead of heading home she wanted to work a bit on her own. Sometimes she liked the solitude of a quiet stage. It helped her to visualize what the sequence of moves should look like. She was trying to perfect one of the dances she was choreographing for the new spring show. She had her notebook out and was taking notes after she performed each movement, combining them as she went along. She did not see Jonathan sitting in the audience quietly observing her.

As Jonathan watched her from the darkness, he thought she never looked more beautiful. She was truly radiant while she was dancing. It was in that moment he realized he was falling for her. Yes, the attraction was there. It was blazing hot. But even watching a movie with her had been an eye opening experience. He never felt so at peace than when he was with her. Thoughts of work, stress, and life just slipped away.

She was engrossed in performing several of the moves he had seen her perform individually, putting it all together. She was incredibly graceful and elegant as she performed a difficult jump into the air. Stunning. He watched her run to her tattered notepad, pick it up, and scribble a few more lines down. She’d repeated the process several times until she had worked for nearly thirty minutes and perfected the dance she was choreographing to her satisfaction.

When she shut the notebook and stuffed it into her backpack, he knew she was preparing to leave. It was then he made his presence known. He clapped. Just for her. He hadn’t wanted to startle her, but heard her gasp softly.

She peered into the dark theatre and though she couldn’t see him clearly, she recognized his form, even in a suit. It was his shoulders. Amazing. “Jonathan?” she asked tentatively, to be sure, though she doubted very much it could be anyone else.

“Yes, it’s me,” he stated softly as he began to move. She heard him approaching and soon he stood in the light from the stage. He simply took her breath away, and not just because she found him incredibly handsome, but because he was seeping into her heart more and more. She quickly scrambled to the edge of the stage and jumped down effortlessly into his waiting arms.

Despite her rough morning, she forgot everything else in his presence. Caring for this man, falling for him, had happened so fast. And if what she suspected was true, about her condition, she didn’t know how that would effect them. For now, she kept that concern to herself. She wanted to be sure before she made any decision.

She knew she was falling in love with the man, but it had been barely two months since their first encounter. She still had no clue how he was feeling about them. When he took her into his arms wordlessly, she succumbed to his lips on hers and was lost in the moment.
