Taming the Devil (EDITED AND REVISED)

Chapter-26

I brushed and put on my jogging clothes with pigtails and sneakers.
After locking main door i was off to nearby park.

Cool breeze hit my face as soon as i set my foot on footpath. Fog covered air lightly. Atmosphere was full of refresing energy and morning air.
It was still very early so street was empty. Only people present were joggers, people walking their dogs and few vehicles on road.

I exercised in park for about 45 minutes and returned home. Sweaty, stinky and refreshed.

It was saturday. It means weekend which means no office. I had to visit studio today.

After taking a bath i made myself coffee and omlette.

I cleaned my apartment a bit and then got ready to go to my dance studio. I took my purse and began searching for keys to studio.

I searched every corner of my apartment but there were no keys. Then it clicked, the studio keys are kept with my office keys which are currently with anna.

I groaned. How stupid i can be. I quickly dialed alex's number.

"Scarlett, babe how are you?" Came his playful voice.

"I am fine alex. How are you?"

"I'm good. Hey you are taking classes today right?! I told everyone you are coming. They were all happy. A little too much." He said last part as if i hurt him.

I rolled my eyes." Uh yeah. Actually i called you concerning classes. The problem is i forgot my studio keys with anna. So can you please come to studio to open it?!" I pleaded.

"Are you serious?! I have to go out with my girlfriend in like one hour. You should have told me little earlier." He whined.

"I am sorry. I usually don't forget them. Please. It will only take twenty minutes." I asked in most sweet voice.

"Aarrghhh fine. You are so annoying. Be there in exact 20 minutes." He groaned.

"Thank you. I owe you." I chirped. We hung up. I hurried to my car in parking and sped away to studio.

I reached studio in exact 16 minutes. Alex was leanning on his car. As soon as he saw me he hurried towards me and handed me the keys.

"Give keys to clary after the session."

I nodded. He immidiately went to his car and sped away.

I was visiting my studio after nearly two weeks. I missed this place. Dancing helped me to relieve my stress. It helped me to get lost in music and moves and transport me in another dimension. Away from all tbe worries of the world.

I opened the black wood door of studio and was immidiately greeted by it's calming smell and colourful appearence.

Walls of my studio were painted by my students in graffiti related to dance. The place was surrounded by dolby sounds making it a small music theatre. There was wide space enough to fit 50-60 people while dancing. The wall beside door had a shelf with many music dvds. They contained music of every type. Front wall of studio was made of glass with 52 inch led screen in middle. The table was kept near wall which held our music player and radio.  There were two chairs for us to sit along with rwo beany bags and a a small couch in corner. There were two changing rooms along with vanity. One for gents and other for ladies along with washroom in each room.Four air conditioners covered the entire area.

I sat on beany bag for sometime, enjoying the comfort this place provided.

I heard footsteps and noises from outside the door coming closer. The door opened and my students walked in.

"SCARLETT!!!!!" clary exclaimed and jumped on top of me.

"I missed you so much. I was so excited to meet you after alex told me you are coming today." She exclaimed.

"I missed you too. I was drowned in work past two weeks so i was unable to make it." I smiled.

After we got up my other students welcomed me as if i came home after a war.

Everyone took their position on tbe floor and i got song ready.

I counted till three and played tbe song.

Usher and pitbull's 'dj got us fallin in love again' boomed through speakers.

My students started twerking and swaying in synchronization. Damn! Alex has done a pretty good job in choreography. I started dancing along with them too. It felt good to move my body on beats of music after so many days.

We parcticed till evreyone was tired. I called on a break. Clary came and plopped in front of me.

"So, when are we going to record and post?" She asked.

"Once everyone is perfect in tbeir moves and co-ordination. Some of us still need to improve. We will post it next month." I said.

"Cool. The response for our last video was amazing. We got maximum views till now. I bet this one will rock too." Clary's face lit up.

I laughed. "Yes i hope so. This time me and alex are going to post our separate act along with our group dance. We have been planning to do so for a while now."

She grinned widely upon hearing it. "That would be so cool." I nodded.

After our break we spent most of our time rehersing, laughing and joking. For lunch i ordered take out for everyone.

The day was spent wonderfully. At about 6 we stopped rehersing and locked up. I gave keys to clary as tomorrow me and alex both were going to take classes.

After longtime i was in happy mood. I didn't feel tired after dancing all day. Probably because of all the laughing we did.

I cooked  chicken curry and rice for dinner as i was in good mood. After cleaning up kitchen i turned on tv with tub of ben and jerry's icecream.

I began to doze off in middle of watching tv. Suddenly i felt exhausted so i decided to call it a night.

Once i lied down in bed micheal's smiling face flashed. Suddenly i remembered the aewsome kiss we shared back in highschool. My entire body got goosebumps just by remembering it.His beautiful eyes lulled me to sleep.
