Autumn love

02 - Helping out

"And one, two, three, and five, six, seven," Eduard's voice sounded loudly right next to her. She stood in the middle of the dance floor demonstrating with him. This was great to be able to dance again. She had really missed it, and she could never have dreamed that she could come in right away. She was actually quite angry with her parents. Because she wanted nothing more than to become a dance partner in the dance school. Teaching and dancing all day long. It seemed like the best job ever. And now she could finally experience what it was like. They were new students, but she thought it was terribly fun. After demonstrating, she immediately joined Sean. Who knew all eyes on him, some looked at him questioningly. After practicing a few times it was time for the break. Which meant that everyone went to the bar and ordered a drink. Sean already knew some of the boys and they came right up to him. Interested who he brought with him tonight. Mandy introduced himself, and some seemed very pleased with the answer that Sean had brought his sister.

Mandy with her beautiful long blond hair, blue eyes like her brother, was completely oblivious to her appearance. She knew she wasn't ugly, of course, but she hadn't thought that others would think she was that pretty. She was only 16 years old and had actually only really been in love once. To a boy when she was in seventh grade. The butterflies fluttered through her stomach. Unfortunately he had moved a few months later. She still was hartbroken about that one, that slipt away. She was amused, listening to the boys who had joined them. Collin introduced himself nicely and immediately asked if she couldn't help him. "Sorry guys I'm here for my brother in the first place. It's that Wendy is sick, otherwise you wouldn't even have realized I could dance yet." Sean smiled at his Sissy, what a good answer. He was amazed to see how good his sister was. That she could dance and perform everything like that. He thought it was quite an honor that she was asked to help out. Mandy looked at Sean, since they had gotten together and she had no transportation, that would mean he would have to pick her up later. "Mandy, if you want to teach with Eduard, I'll take a seat in the bar and watch. Who knows, I might learn something from it." The bar was adjacent to the dance hall and had a large window in between. With a few tables and chairs in front. So you could look right into the room from the bar. "I think I can help you out tonight, Eduard," Mandy said, laughing.

The second lesson flew by and she had a great time. In the middle of the dance floor. And she could have helped with the teaching herself. She was allowed to give directions, she was allowed to correct. She was now sure she wanted to do this. After class Eduard came over to her. "Here an envelope with content, you have helped me tremendously and it looks like the students were very happy with you. I have received many positive messages from your contributing young lady. If you want you can become a permanent replacement. As one of the girls is not there, then you can fill in for them. Mind you, this is a paid assignment. And since you are still quite young, you will have to short-circuit this with your parents, "Eduard said. She yelled out "Sean, did you hear, I can stay and fill in more often. And look I got an envelope."

"Come on let's go Sissy, we have a lot to tell to Mom and Dad when we get home." Mandy grabbed her coat from the coat rack and hopped after Sean to the car. She kept talking the whole time, on the way. She had had a great night, she made her brother happy. And her dream came a little closer. The best thing of course was that Eduard had asked her himself. That must mean that he saw something in her. When they got home, Mandy told her parents everything. She was glad that Sean was there, and was actually just as enthusiastic. "Mom, you should have seen Mandy teach like she never did anything else, and she was super good at giving directions. She was so beautiful Mom standing there," he said as a proud brother. "As long as your grades remain good, we agree," said her father, who was actually very proud of his daughter.

The next morning she woke up early, she had slept well. And she was still in seventh heaven. She had a great night. She hoped it wouldn't be too long before she could teach any class again. She had enjoyed it so much she couldn't wait. In any case, she got to go with Sean again next week. Time to shower, put on some clothes and have breakfast. She had a long day at school today. Sitting in the boring building all day. Learning subjects she didn't really want to know about. Only because they were needed for her exam. The exam that was held in a few weeks. Fortunately, she was allowed to do something fun every week. She hadn't really liked the last year. In fact, she hadn't known she'd missed it so much. Time to go to school.

She had some friends at school, she wasn't one of the popular girls. But fortunately she was not one of those who were bullied every day. Gemma was already waiting for her outside in the schoolyard. They had met in kindergarten. They always told each other everything. Today Mandy had a lot to say, but she had to be careful. Sean didn't want everyone to know he was taking a dance class. So that the surprise for Bob and Ilse would not be ruined. So she didn't say she went dancing with her brother. But she did say that she had been allowed to teach two lessons in the dance school together with Eduard. Gemma was very happy for her friend and couldn't ask for much. Because the school bell was already ringing, as a sign that they had to go to their class.

The day flew by and it was almost time to go home when she saw a message on her phone. Eduard asked her if she could come tonight. He had a problem with a new group. This time not as a teacher, but as a helper. For the men to dance with. This class, like her brother's class, had too few ladies. You would be really great to help me with it. She decided to cycle home quickly and put the question to her parents first. She didn't really feel that she would be able to go to dance school so soon, it was Friday today, and there was no school tomorrow. But two days in a row? At home she let her mother read the message right away. "Mom, can I? Please?" she asked as soon as she had her mother read Eduard's message. "That is actually quite fast, we had agreed to once a week. Of course you are right that today is Friday. From me you can go, and ask if this is every week," was the answer. her. "Because if it's every week then your father has to agree too."

She picked up the phone and called Eduard, letting him know it was no problem for tonight. She was really looking forward to it. She had not dared to dream of this last night. She decided to finish her homework as soon as possible. And to make sure her parents wouldn't have a problem with it. She really had to make sure that things would continue to go well at school. So that she could go to dance school every Thursday and Friday evening. And maybe she was lucky and was allowed to dance freely. Previously she was only allowed to go to Sunday afternoons, which were for the young people. Now that she was a little older, she really wanted to dance a night off on Saturday.

Don't want too much Mandy, take it easy step by step. You no longer have to look for your dancing shoes, but she did need other clothes. It was impossible to put on the same thing twice. She heard her mother already in the kitchen and quickly ran down the stairs. Sat down for dinner, and told Sean what had happened. He was happy for her to be allowed to go again and offered to bring her. She didn't want to bother him, though. And she had no idea how long she would stay. But he insisted that he bring her and get her home. Something that made her parents feel good. Their little girl wouldn't wander the streets alone, her brother would look after her. They had raised a good young man. He loved his sister so much. They where very happy to see him so protective of his sister.
