Mariah was aware of the time she didn't want to be late. The day got away from her. She had to quit taking last minute calls. Swishing sounds greeted her as she opened the double glass doors to her last appointment. One she wouldn't miss for anything.
That's when she saw him. He was dancing with a woman. His movements were so sensuous. A gasp caught in her throat. She envied the woman she must be a new one. She opened the inner door Grant never looked away from his partner. The song was from Luther Van Dross Dance with My Father Again. Mariah swayed with the music not even aware of it. She was a born dancer. She couldn't believe she won dance lessons with Grant in a rally. She laid the ticket down before remembering the lessons for over a month. She smiled at her first phone call how it was so unlike her. Being tongue tied was so unusual for her. She lectured everyday there wasn't anything she couldn't explain clearly for anybody.
"Yes, this is Mariah I won Grant." Mariah said without realizing what she just said.
"Mariah? I don't understand how did you win Grant?" The man said casually.
"Oh I won him in a rally." Mariah ignorantly answered, but then the light came on.
"Oh I am so embarrassed I didn't win Grant. I won, dancing lessons with Grant." Mariah hurriedly answered.
The man laughed so deeply, Mariah's ear enjoyed the sound. She oddly felt comfortable with this man.
"Well, I am Grant. So, when would you like to start?" He said casually.
Mariah turned beet red oh she didn't know whether to hang up or make the appointment. She decided.
"Hello Grant. I'm Mariah I would love to start as soon as you have an opening." Mariah said with a softness in her voice.
"I have an opening this evening at 7pm. I would like to meet the woman that won me." He teased her.
