It’sbeentwoand half weeks since the misunderstanding between me and Knox and we have gone back to our status quo relationship. I’m actually excited today about giving Vee and the new bartender at the club, Ash, dance lessons. It’s been one of my dreams to teach dance and little do they know they are helping me achieve it, my last freaking chance to do it.

Pulling up to the club, I see Vee’s car already parked out front beside Javier’s bike, and another bike I’m not familiar with. Shifting the gear into park, I pick up my bag out of the passenger seat, get out and head inside.

Vee and Ash are sitting at the bar with Javier and I swear to God a younger version of him.

“Hey there girl,” Javier calls out to me, “Can’t wait to see what moves you teach these two.”

“Me too,” I chuckle, “Let me go get changed and I’ll be right back.”

Heading back to the dressing room, I think about how I’m going to cherish the memories of teaching these two girls how to dance. In truth, there will be so many memories that will replay in my mind for all the years to come. Hopefully I can make the transition to Stepford wife that my father and my new, it makes me sick to even think, husband wants me to be.

I just placed the clothes I changed out of, along with my phone into my locker when I hear the vibration rattling inside. I open my bag, taking it out to see a message alert.

Professor Hotty: Arianna, I would love for you to accompany me to dinner tonight. You have been skilled in your ability to avoid my attempts to talk to you after class. Please don’t disappoint and meet me.

No matter my attempts, my thoughts keep going back to the night at the club, how he talked to me, how horny he made me. True, he pissed me off when we both found out he was my instructor, but hell, we could have worked around the situation.

D0 I go? Do I say fuck it, after the way he responded on that day? Decisions, decisions.

Me: Where and what time?

Professor Hotty: Catalinas, 7 pm reservation, I hoped you would say yes. I can pick you up at 6.30.

Me: That's okay, I can meet you there. I’m only agreeing for the food, just so you know.

I place my phone back into my locker, and just out of habit lock it, then head back out to the floor. The girls are still at the bar talking to Javier and the mystery guy, who I notice is wearing a vest like Javier except he has a different patch. When I get closer I see it says, Prospect, and hell if they don’t look like twins up close, except a young one and an older daddy version.

“Ready ladies, I need to see what I’m working with first. Javier, don’t distract my students with your immature childish behavior.” I say in a playful chastising manner.

“I should just warn you I have the grace and balance of a newborn animal.” Ash tells me, and by the look on her face I can tell she is dead serious.

“That's okay bitch, I got moves for the both of us.” Vee jumps off her barstool and begins to perform gyrating movements to the music.

What in the hell did I sign up for?!I think to myself, as I laugh at her theatrics.

“This is going to be a long morning.” I say looking at Javier, playing with them and rolling my eyes, as if I’m annoyed with the whole idea of teaching them.

I loop my arms through both of the girls’ and lead them towards the stage. My curiosity is killing me though, so as soon as we are out of hearing range, I have to ask.

“Who’s the Javier look alike?”

“Believe it or not, it’s his son. Luke told me the story last night when he showed up at the bar to pick me up for a booty call. Apparently, Javier ran into an old girlfriend years ago, they slept together and she left. She never approved or understood his allegiance to the club so when she found out she was pregnant she never told him. When Carlos turned eighteen, his mom finally told him who his father was, but not where to find him. He started searching himself and apparently showed up here a couple weeks ago and after Bash confirmed the story, they started connecting. He’s prospecting for the club conditionally and will be working here to help out as one of his job assignments, so he and Javier can get to know each other better. Boy is fine but too young for my liking. If Ash didn’t have the boys nipping at her heels, I’d tell her to go for it.” Vee tells us dramatically.

“I do not have boys nipping at my heels.” Ash states defensively.

“Fuck yes you do, you have the whole hottie brat pack drooling on you, marking their territory.” Vee replies, as she makes kissy faces at her.

“The brat pack, would that be the boys who hang with Ryker?” I ask.

“You got it girl. You’ve been here a few weeks now and you can’t remember their names?” she asks me with a dead panned face.

“Shut up girl, I can only remember his name because he hit on me relentlessly, even when I turned him down. I noticed how he stopped once this one showed up. I’m just trying to figure out why he acts like a prick to her when you can tell by the way he stares at her he wants to ravish her gorgeous body.”

“He most definitely doesn’t want to ravish me and I may be talking to the three others. We are seeing how it will work out.” she says, blushing.

“Go ahead babe, look at you getting one of them book romances. You’re going to be the envy of all the women. But, we came here to dance so let's get to work.”
