Stuck On You

Chapter 5: Time to Dance

We finally got the results of our cheer tryouts, but I couldn’t do it; it was way too much money to try and

spend on a student’s budget. Quinn and I settled for dancing with this group that often practiced in a

warehouse near the beach not far from us. Cheer had some dancing in it; it really wasn’t that different,

except we could mix some of our stunting with it. The crew thought that it was pretty cool. There were

three girls, including us, and three guys.

“You guys are pretty cool chicks,” the leader of the crew, Luca, said after our first practice.

“I told you, Luca,” Hayden said. It was weird. Hayden actually did something productive. He was a part

of the dance crew. It’s how we found out about it. I was only in my sports bra and Nike pros with a light

tank top over it. It was getting pretty hot so I pulled off my tank top.

“Our next gig is a partner thing. The guy who hired us wants us to do a spicy tango, his words not mine.

Jason with Lana, Hayden with Jordyn, and I’ll take Quinn,” he instructed. “Let’s go one couple at a time

and just see how freestyle goes.”

“I’m always with Hayden though,” Lana complained. I saw Hayden look down as a small smirk crossed

his face. I rolled my eyes.

“You can have him,” I said. She got a little excited before Hayden grabbed me around the waist and

pulled me closer to him.

“Nope, your mine, sweetheart,” he said. I made a disgusted face and looked at him.

“Stop calling me that!” I said. Everyone else just kind of laughed except Lana. She didn’t look too

happy. It seemed like there was a past there. Luca and Quinn went first. They moved pretty in sync to

the music. Quinn used her flexibility to her advantage. Lana and Jason went next. Hayden has his arm

around my waist the whole time.

“Our turn,” Hayden whispered into my ear when they finished. “Forget your ‘holier than thou’ ways for a

moment and just go with the music,” he said. I nodded discreetly as we moved into the middle of the

floor.

The music started and the first thing Hayden did was run his hands all over my body. I just went with it.

I moved my hips seductively and ran my hand over my face and through my hair. Hayden spun me

around and grabbed my hand as his other hand went to my waist. My body was flush to his and there

was a pause before we started gliding across the floor. He spun me out and I swiveled my hips slightly

before his hands went to my waist. I propped my foot up on his shoulder before he walked backwards

with me. He grabbed my waist and lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and ran my hand

down the side of his face. My lips were only inches from his before I pointed one toe towards the

ground and arched my back. He held my up with one arm and ran his other hand down my neck and

chest. I snapped back up and grabbed his hand before he spun me and dipped me. I wanted to make

this more interesting than your normal tango, so I set my hands on the floor and did a back walkover

back tuck out of it before I landed in the splits. Hayden offered me a hand and I spun up and back to

him. He pulled my leg up around his waist with my hands on his chest and his other hand securely on

my lower back as the music ended.

It was completely silent. No one said anything and we didn’t move. Hayden and I were both breathing

heavily against each other. He gave me a small smile and gave me a peck on the lips before we finally

separated from each other. I smiled. I was pleased with our performance.

“Wow, talk about heat. You two were on fire,” Luca said eventually with a satisfied smile on his face. He

turned to Quinn. “Can you do that flip thing?” he asked. She smiled and nodded.

“We can’t do that for the gig,” Lana cut in. “They were practically having sex out there,” she said. Luca

chuckled and so did Hayden.

“That’s the beauty of the tango, Lana. It’s sexy,” Hayden said with a smug look on his face. He reached

forward slightly and gave my butt a slap. I turned and slapped his arm.

“Ass,” I muttered, turning back around and crossing my arms. Hayden only chuckled. He knew that he

was getting under my skin, and I knew he was enjoying it.

“I guess Hayden has called shotgun on Jordyn,” Jason laughed. I put my hands on my hips and rolled

my eyes.

“Nobody has shotgun on me,” I argued. Jason only shook his head laughing. Lana was starting to look

pissed. There was definitely history there. Hayden pulled my hips back a d kissed the side of my head

as everyone started walking away. I smacked his chest.

“Hayden, you’re driving us back to the apartments, right?” Quinn said. He finally let go of me and went

to go get his duffle bag. I picked up my tank top and put it back on. When Quinn was ready, we drove

back to the apartments. I walked with Quinn to her room.

“What was that today?” she asked, smiling in anticipation. I shrugged and rolled my eyes.

“Hayden is an ass,” I said. She only laughed at me and shook her head.

“You two totally have the hots for each other,” she said excitedly. “Have you-“

“God no!” I said disgusted. She only giggled.

“I don’t know why not! He’s hot, and he’s totally into you,” she said. I squished up my nose and shook

my head. I didn’t want her putting ideas into my head. Hayden wasn’t into me. He was the resident bad

boy, he didn’t like anyone; he just wanted to get them into bed. I walked back to my room and sighed

as I set my purse down. Hayden was lying down on his back on the couch, watching TV with his arm

slung over the armrest. I walked over and straddled his lap.

“What was that earlier today?” I asked. He turned his attention to me and placed his hands on my hips.

He chuckled.

“It’s called dancing… and you were actually pretty good at it,” he smirked. I rolled my eyes and hit his

chest which only made him laugh.

“Smart-ass!” I said. “I was talking about Lana mentally shooting me in the face. She hates me; I’m sure

of it,” I said. That’s when he did something unexpected. He gave a choir boy smile that showed off a

small almost unnoticeable dimple.

“No one could hate you,” he said genuinely. I gave a small smile too. His hands moved to my butt and

he squeezed it. “You have a fat ass, you know that?” he said, smirking again. I groaned and slapped

his chest as hard as I could. Just when I thought Hayden wasn’t a total jerk, he goes and proves me

wrong. Hayden held my hands as he laughed. He pulled me down to him and kissed me deeply. I

pushed myself up and smacked his chest again.

“You never answered my question,” I said. He laughed before he shook his head at me.

“Persistent, aren’t we? Alright, she was my dance partner. Well, she was until you joined the crew. And

I… might have slept with her a few times. And she might think that I’m her boyfriend because of it,” he

explained. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Oh,” was all I said. If a guy slept with me a few times, I might’ve been led to believe that we were an

item too.

“I don’t do relationships,” he said. I smirked at him. I didn’t expect anything less. I raised my eyebrow at

him.

“You also don’t do goodie two shoes like me, but you’ll lose the bet,” I said. He smirked and rolled his

eyes.

“I’m not losing the bet,” he said. I leaned down and kissed his neck as my hips rolled up against his

crotch. I slid down his crotch and put my hands against his shoulders. His hands stopped my hips from

moving after he groaned.

“What’s wrong Hayden? Is your little friend getting excited,” I asked, moving my hips again. He groaned

and closed his eyes as he bit his lip. I moved my hips again. He stilled my hips and looked at me

seriously.

“Jordyn, if you keep doing that, we’re going to have a problem,” he said. I laughed and got off of his lap.

“Goodnight, Hayden,” I threw over my shoulder. I went to sleep and didn’t give him a second thought.
