Down the Rabbit Hole (Stuck On You)

Chapter 5: Tto 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 sdancing in it; it really wasn't that different, except we could mix sof 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 tand 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 grabbedaround the waist and pulledcloser to him. "Nope, your mine, sweetheart," he said. I made a disgusted face and looked at him.

"Stop callingthat!" 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 spunaround 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 spunout 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 liftedup. 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 spunand 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 offereda 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 gavea small smile and gavea 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 ofand 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 atand 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 toand 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 shootingin 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 proveswrong. Hayden held my hands as he laughed. He pulleddown to him and kisseddeeply. 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 ...

might have slept with her a few m times. And she might think that I'm her boyfriend because of it," he explained. "Oh," was all I said. If a guy slept witha 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 atseriously.

"Jordyn, if you keep doing that, we're going to have a problem," he said. I laughed and and got off of his fap. "Goodnight, Hayden," I threw over my shoulder. I went to sleep and didn't give him a second thought.
