The Boy With The Skull Tattoo by Belinda Louis (best ereader for pdf .txt) 📖

"Teach me? I don't think so. Remember what happened the last time?" Quickly jumping into a brief memory when I tried to teach Emily how to dance salsa because she had a crush on this extremely hot Spanish guy with a killer toned body to die for and the way the word love rolling of the tip of his tongue. He was a dance teacher. Even I would make a fool out of myself just to impress him. Believe me, he's deliciously mesmerizing, ugh he reminds me of cake. Who doesn't love cake? I'd eat him up anytime. 

Emily nodded and fiercely turned her head to the door when a heavy knock scared both of us.I opened the door shocked that my twin related co-workers were at the door.

"Oh gosh, this isn't real. Come in, come in." Darnell and Heavenly walked in right behind me after offering them in.

Emily stayed put like a scared cat. She knew who Darnell and Heavenly were she just didn't bother to socialize with them.

"Guys I thought you left for Jamaica and you wouldn't make it back any time soon?" Darnell placed the gift basket on the counter. He still has the smooth way of talking to females when he sees one. He gave Emily a seductive look but Emily averted her eyes before he can ogle her any further. I punched him slightly on the chest to get back his attention.

"We did. But then we couldn't miss out on this World Dance Battle Tour. Especially knowing that there's some tough competitions, we knew you'll need some help." Darnell brushed his shoulders off.

"You little genius." I poked him on the nose.He then shooed me away.

"I also seen some of them getting loose in the lobby as I walked in and by the way," Heavenly hushed a moment and bowed her head down. I was utterless and desperately in need to know what Heavenly meant. Her body language slowly made me worry.

"Heaven what is it?" I softly shouted.

"There too freakin' good. All those back flips man. . they're so talented and they're not afraid to prove it," I raised a up a wicked brow. "And the guys...more kick backs than the Big Apple Circus," Heavenly walked forward to me and started rubbing my back. "But no worries we can put together some kick ass routines like we did back in the day." Heavenly nodded her head rapidly. I aggressively brushed my hair back with my bare hands trapping all the sweat in my hands.

"Oh Fuck, I'm doomed."

Darnell took a chocolate covered strawberry from the gift basket and ate it.

"Elle you've seen our moves. We can destroy them." he put his hands in a fist in the air. Heavenly looked at Emily as Emily returned the same awkward gleam in her eyes.

I sensed the awkward silence.

"Is she an informer?" Heavenly asked.

"Guys no! You know Emily. She's just traveling with me. Like she always does."

"Oh."Heavenly and Darnell said in unison.

"Can she dance though?" Darnell said barely having any conversations with Emily in the past but always seen her around my environment when she'd come to my latest competitions.

"I have to use the restroom." Emily walked out awkwardly into the bathroom and closed the door shut.

"You guys know how Ems is. Anti-social queen." We laughed together watching the commercial of the dance battle on the hotel television.

"Special guests will be here at the WDBT including miss Iggy Azalea, Chris Brown, August Alsina and the one and only Rihanna as a guest judge. Get ready dancers because it's going to be on hell of a night." Said the reporter sounding jovial as ever.

We all looked at each, quiet as ghosts wading in thin air as we wait to catch a victim in the night.

"Dang, it's going to be wicked." Said Heavenly pulling her jet black locks into a pony tail. Her tan cheeks turned red while watching some of the dancers highlights from previous battle competitions.

"Wicked is not even the right word." Darnell said in a Jamaican accent.

"For real." Heavenly hummed.

Emily didn't bother to come out until the commercial was almost over.

"Now, we're asking all dancers to make their way to the gym and show some skills on cam. And get ready for the last battle of a life time tonight right here on World Of Dance channel."

The reporter hopped up and down yelling at the camera. A short Caucasian boy with a fierce Bieber hair cut ran up to the camera dancing like a robot and then changing the routine by going into a Caribbean dance when Dance-Hall music came on.

Scared as ever, Emily and I walked slowly around the lobby and headed to the Gym were all the dancers were assigned to be. Heavenly and Darnell joined after we came.

A tall muscular dancer stopped in front of Darnell. Her body was drop dead gorgeous and I must admit I wanted to trade for a moment. She looked like she had all the moves of dancing in the book. She looked like she trained since she was in the womb and popped out break dancing during labor.

"Mamacita." said Darnell. The girl turned around and whispered to her friend that stood next to her.

"Yo please." Heavenly commanded him to relax and stop annoying other people's kids.

"Excuse me?" the girl said.

"You look fine as hell!" Darnell rubbed his hands together, grabbed her hand, and joined his fingers with hers. The girl jumped and backed away from him.

"Really? That's how you feel?" He pointed at his chest showing off his abs screaming for air under his tight spandex shirt showing off every angle of his body he can.

Emily rolled her eyes, Heavenly tried to convince the poor girl to run away and never come back, well I stood like an innocent by stander trying to avoid anything harmful coming my way. I looked at the guards watching us with a straight face. Not a smile or a smirk.

"Yeah, they're not my friends. . so don't look at me."

"How do you even?" Emily was quick to question Heavenly about her perverted older twin brother.

"Seriously I think it was because he was dropped a lot as a newborn. My parents were never really careful with him." Heavenly laughed harder as we began walking through the crowded gym with other performers ready to dance our lives away on stage. The L.E.S Twins, one of the greatest of the greatest dancing duo's from France to ever to turn into human robots and move violently across the any dance floor anytime they perform their self choreographed routines showed up on the projector above our heads while the crowd cheered loud as ever right before the competition can start.

Everyone crowded in a circle. Club lights surrounded us. As the competition started we began watching other performers get down on the hard floor. I, Heavenly, and Darnell prepared ourselves. My heart began pumping faster when our song came on as the people cheered our names in the pink spotlight. Next thing I knew the crowd parted ways for us when we began moving viciously across the dance floor.

WARRIORS IN THE DANCE

After our show stopping  performance we were ordered to line up side by side so they can say the winners of WDBT. I stood patiently holding onto Emily and her pig tails. Darnell locked hands with another female standing by him who seemed interested in him while we waited for the judges to announce the winners.

Catcalls covered the gym. The crowd couldn't wait any longer. We were all ready to hear who was the greatest.

"In third place. ." said Iggy, "PBS Kiidz." Struggling to announce the winner speaking in her Australian accent, she pointed to the crew behind us with nerd costumes on. Everyone cheered while they went for there medals. One of the dancers fan jumped over the grille that blocked us from being attacked.

"I LOVE YOU CODY!!!" said a screaming fan yelling over the security guard's bald head. I expected this competition to be very mature but I guess my friends and I are the only adults here.

"Damn, obsessed much." Darnell whispered.

Everyone calmed down while Iggy walked and hugged the group members and congratulated them. She walked off stage. Some gathered around her to take photos.

While August Alsina and Chris Brown came on stage the crowd went wild. Some threw panties at their faces and even bra's. They yelled out how much they would fuck the shit of of them. Chris just laughed and turned to August while struggling to keep a straight face. He later waved at the crowd hoping they would simmer down. As much as I wanted to jump and kiss August or Chris, which ever I desired to attack first, I kept my inner slut inside and tried my hardest not to hug the crap out of both of them. I'd rather get naked and tell Chris to devour this p. . . moving on. August pouted his lips apart and fixed his beanie from falling off his curly hair.

"Dang, Chris you must say the honors." Chris took the card from him and shouted out as loud as he can.

"Second Place is. . " They stopped speaking. It was absolutely quiet in the gym. You can actually hear a whisper loud and clear.  "Gingerbread Gyrlz!" a bunch of Irish dressed pig tailed girls with high knee socks with old middle age costumes came cartwheeling around the stage. They kissed the living crap out of August and Chris. Chris held on to the one he found attractive. Typical Chris.

Rihanna then came across the stage in her red gown glued tightly to her body and her hair in a pony tail. Her vicious red lips caught my attention. She had nice shaped lips and perfect skin you'd wish you could have.

Her hazel eyes lightened up when she looked at the crowd. She spoke in her Bajan accent and bowed her head down.

"Now I've seen a lot of great performances tonight, but this one was outstanding and well done!" The crowd shouted even more. "This crew right here literally snatched my weave." She opened the card trying hard not to laugh at her own joke. I looked at Emily in the eyes almost tearing. I didn't hear a thing as my heart beating in my chest made me go deaf. Darnell started jumping and kissing the girl who held on to him like toast. Heavenly had turned around to kiss one of the performers behind her and then the voice of Rihanna traveled back in my ears verbatim.

"Capital-WARRIORS!" She screamed dropping the microphone and running toward us. She group hugged all of us as they gave me the golden trophy. Paparazzi was everywhere in the gym and snapped as much photos as they can. The rest of the guest celebrities joined in unison too take group photos and congratulate us. I never stopped hugging Rihanna. I looked into her bright hazel eyes and cried my heart out. She held me like a baby and looked down on me. She's quite tall you know.

"Congratulations Warrior." she kissed my forehead and hugged everybody else in her surroundings. I joined August, Iggy, and Chris with other group dancers wanting autographs and photos. I felt like I've entered the heaven of success. I've never felt so happy in my life. The same reporter followed us into the locker rooms where every dance member calmed down and refreshed themselves. Luckily, no one paraded around naked. I would've honestly.

"Hey guys I'm Peggy Sew. And I'm here to congratulate the new 2014 WDBT Champions." she hugged me. Darnell grabbed a champagne bottle and popped the cork. The champagne spilled over my brunette locks.
