Dance for Me

Chapter Thirteen

Donna promised not to tell the others about the contract when she found it a week ago. I stayed with Max for the weekend as he kept telling me that he didn’t need the contract whether there was an expiration date on it or not. He wanted to prove that he trusted me and that I can trust him.

I walked off the stage as I grabbed my towel that was next to Phil the director, “You are doing great, Sabrina.” I nodded as I picked up my water from the floor, “Thank you.”

I went to walkway when he grabbed me by my wrist. My eyes narrowed at his hand as he said, “I do have a couple of things to go over with you.” I nodded as I pulled my wrist away from him, “What things are that?”

He waved his hand as he walked towards his office, “I would like for you to do more plays after we are done with the Nutcracker.” I slowly enter into the office as he closed the door behind me, “Okay.”

I stood in the parking lot as I waited for Sabrina to leave the building. Tristian that has become close friends with Sabrina walked out of rehearsal as he smiled at me, “Hey Max.” I nodded at him, “Have you seen Sabrina? She has come out yet.”

He shrugged his shoulders, “I overheard Phil saying something about needing to talk to her and they walked towards his office.” I tilted my head as he added, “She looked little nervous.” I lifted off the SUV as I looked at George.

George and I rushed into the theater when we heard Sabrina scream from Phil’s office. “George.” I yelled as he nodded and kicked Phil’s office door opened. I heard Phil yell, “What the hell man?” I walked into the office where I found Sabrina on the ground in tears with her clothes ripped.

I bent down as I placed my hands on her arms, “Sabrina look at me.” She picked up her head for her eyes to meet mine as my blood boiled. He tried to hurt her.

I lifted off the floor in angry when I stormed to Phil as George has him pinned to the ground. I bent down where his head laid, “What did I tell you?” His eyes darted to me, “I didn’t…” My fist went to his face, “I told you, she was off limits.” He nodded as he cried, “Don’t hit me again.”

I took a deep breath as I looked around, “Get your s**t and leave this building to never return. I will find a new director.” Phil we to say something as I tilted my head towards his, “If you don’t, I will have this place surrounding with police and I guarantee she will not be the only one talking.” His eyes widened as he nodded his head, “Of course. Mr. Longhorn.”

I heard Sabrina sniffling as I raised and returned to her as I lifted her into my arms. She snuggled her face into the crock of my neck as I walked her out of the office. Tristian must have followed me and George into the theater as he stood there with a blanket for Sabrina.

He placed it over her, “Will she be okay?” I nodded, “I need you to gather all the dancers. I need to have a meeting.” He nodded as he ran into the locker room and took his phone out of his pocket, “I send a text get everyone back.”

 I sat in the theater with Sabrina warmed up against me. I held her legs and her back when I laid my lips on her forehead head, “I need to get up.” She nodded as she lifted and sat next to George and Tristian as George place her arm her shoulders to protect her for me.

I stood in front of the dancers as they asked, “where was Phil?” I nodded that them as I told them, “Phil isn’t directing the play this year.” There was gasped and some chuckles as I explained, “I am getting a new director so rehearsals will go as planned.”

There was a lot of nodding when I added, “I need to know if Phil have forced himself on anyone.” The room got silent as I sighed, “I will protect you all from him. I just stopped him from attacking Sabrina and I need to else he done this to.”

Nothing

“I will have Tristian text you all my number and if you are ready to come forward. Use it. I will help and that is unacceptable behavior.” I said as I bowed my head. I knew it was going to be hard get them to opening up. There always stories on how some of these dancers get their parts. The directors will use s*x as a reason to give a dancer the impression that they are getting a part.

Tristian picked up his phone and texted everyone my number then held up his phone, “You all should have Mr. Longhorn’s number.” I sighed, “In the meanwhile, I will see about having a couple of interviews for a new director this week and get Phil replaced immediately.” The all got up as more than half placed their hands-on Sabrina’s shoulder as they exited.

George and Tristan was the last two to leave the auditorium when I saw Sabrina raised up from her chair and walked towards the stage. I didn’t say a word and didn’t say anything to me.

She started move her legs as I watched her felling a pull again to her as she dance. I walked up on to the stage as she lifted on the ball of her felt when lifted her right leg out behind her as she bent her waist towards me when I was in her reach, she grabbed my shirt pulling me towards her.

I walked up to her as her right leg slowly went to the ground as she lifted up as I pulled closer to her. Her arms goes around my neck as she laid her head on my chest as she whispered to me, “Dance for me.”

My arms went around her waist as I held her as moved with her as I felt her cried. I held her tighter.

I want to kill this man.

I want to kill anyone that brings harm to her.

He placed his fingers under my chin as I lifted my head as tears fell. He dipped his face as he brushed his lips against my lips. I pressed against hips lips as opened my mouth slightly as his tongue finds it way into mine to dance with my tongue.

Max dropped me off at my apartment as we walked up the stairs as I received a text. I looked at phone when my eyes widened.

He grabbed my phone as he looked up to me, “How long have you been receiving these texts?” I shrugged my shoulders, “Since the first time I was the club.” He leaned his shoulder against the wall of the stairway, “Geese, Sabrina.”

I moved up the stairs as he sighed, “What if you come stay with me for a while.” I froze on the stairs, “You can’t be serious.” He sighed as he walked up the stairs towards me, “I just want to make sure that these threats don’t become a reality.”

I nodded as we finished walking up the stairs. When we reached to my door and noticed that the door was slightly opened as we heard Sam, “What the f**k?” Max pushed me to the side as he entered the apartment, “Go downstairs to George. And wait for me there.”

I nodded as I ran down the stairs. I noticed that George had the door opened, “Is everything okay?” I shook my head, “I am not sure.:”

Sam stood in a room that was turned upside down, “s**t Sam, are you okay?” He nodded, “I just got home to find the apartment like this.” Sam picked up a picture that was ripped, “Isn’t this a picture that Sabrina was in with you?” I snatched out of his hand as I lifted my eyebrow, “Do you and the rest of you have a place to stay until I can get to the bottom of this?”

He shook his head, “I have no clue. I could most likely stay with Adam but Trist and Donna; I am not sure.” I nodded as I went to Sabrina’s room, “Call them find out. I am taking Sabrina to my place. If none of you can find a place let me know.” He cleared his throat as he followed me, “What is going on, Max?”

I sighed, “I think Sabrina’s father found her.” He tilted his head, “Her father died.” I shook my head, “No he didn’t. He a f*****g Mob Boss down in Florida.” His eyes widened as I packed some of Sabrina’s things, “Are you sure?” I found a box in her closet when I placed it on the bed.
