Phillip smirked before leaning into her. “Maybe you can show me some of your moves sometime?”
“Maybe,” she answered, looking up with her eyes shining. He leaned over, kissing her softly before rubbing his nose against her. She really enjoyed kissing him in public. She was surprised how much she liked it. She knew she should be worried about that because feelings could get involved, but she just couldn’t bring herself to care.
“I bet you had men blowing loads everywhere.”
She giggled against his lips. “You know it.”
“Mmm,” he moaned softly before kissing her again. When her studio name was called, she pulled away and smiled before saying, “The girls are taking the stage.”
“You’re lucky.”
She laughed as she smacked him away playfully. “Stop, you’re distracting.”
“You know you like it.”
“Maybe.”
He gave a throaty laugh before turning to the stage where Claire was center stage, posed with her hands on her hips, her legs parted and the fiercest look on her face.
“What the fuck is she wearing?” Phillip gasped before turning to look at Reese. “Where the hell is the rest?”
“What? She looks amazing, they all do!” Reese said back as she took in her gorgeous dancers. She had on a bright pink dazzling bra that had diamonds and pink feathers, with diamond strings going down the black-studded booty shorts that had a big, bright pink bow on the butt. Reese thought they were gorgeous and looked fabulous on stage with each girls’ hair up in a high ponytail.
“That is more reveling than the other one!” he complained.
“It’s the dance world. This is what we wear; it covers way more than a bathing suit.”
“Whatever.” He glared before looking back at the stage as the music started. For the love of dance, Claire ruled and demanded the attention of everyone in the room. Reese was a little worried what the other parents would think because it was obvious that Claire was the star, but there was nothing she could do about it. She was striking, unbelievable, and it brought tears to Reese’s eyes she was so proud. When the end came and Claire was the only one on the stage, a look of domination on her face, Reese and Phillip were the loudest people in the house because Reese knew that they just placed first.
When awards followed three numbers later, Reese was right, and she felt like her winning weekend was within reach. The only thing left was the solos and with the way Claire was dancing, she knew she’d take the title home.
And Reese was beyond excited.
