Dance for me

13 Chapter

"You're back early," Nicky remarked as Pen entered the apartment and closed the doors behind her.

"They let me out early today."

"Did they take you to work?"

"Yes, I have to come back at the same time tomorrow," Pen said as she sat down on the chair and took off her ballet shoes.

"How did it go? Did they show you around?" Nicky began to ask her.

"Yes, everything. And you were absolutely right when you said I should dress more frankly. It's okay, they gave me a mini dress with an apron, I looked like a prostitute."

" I warned you," Nicki told her.

"I don't understand how people can behave like that. I used to live my life in pleasure, too, and I didn't need anything, but I never humiliated people, and today, I was humiliated and groped by four men."

"Wow," Nicki wondered.

"Yeah. And I got kissed by one of them, too, can you believe it?"

"You seemed to like that kiss."

"What are you talking about, Nicky! " Pen began to answer indignantly, already taking off her dress and trying to get dressed in her home clothes.

" Are they even pretty?"

"You know, I've realized one thing. They're beautiful on the outside, but so rotten on the inside. I think more than one girl has suffered from their jokes and bullying. Even my partner, Beth, they dragged me into their bed, you know? And they talked about it so shamelessly and unceremoniously, it was horrible."

" I see, do you have to go to practice tomorrow?"

" Of course, I've missed a lot of practice, and Sam's really worried about it.

"You're capable, Pen, and you'll learn quickly."

"Nicki, I'm just now starting to understand what Kelly said. She was right. Dancing isn't a job. It's a hobby."

"Pen, can you hear yourself? Stop it right now. Many dancers have only become famous because they believed in their dreams, fighting for a place in the sun. They also, like you, fought with their loved ones who tried to discourage them and advised them to find a job that would help them make a fortune. And how many famous dancers have been injured? And still got up and fought on."

"I understand that, Nicky."

"Tomorrow you go to the gym, practice with David, and you'll be fine."

"I guess you're right," Pen agreed.

"So how about we watch a movie together?"

" I'm tired and tired from what happened today, and I don't know what I'm thinking."

"We'll watch Dirty Dancing with you," said Niki, putting Pen in front of her.

"Okay, I agree with your choice," Pen replied. They both lay down on the couch holding the laptop Nicky began to search for the movie. The movie is old, from 1987. It tells the story of 17-year-old Frances nicknamed Baby, an innocent spoiled girl from a well-to-do family, spending the vacations with her parents in a resort hotel. She meets Johnny, a handsome professional dancer sophisticated in matters of life and love. As if bewitched by the sexy rhythms and uninhibited movements of "dirty dancing" in the rhythm and blues style, Baby becomes Johnny's apprentice partner - both in dancing and in love. A good romantic melodrama for the evening," the two friends thought, and watched the movie.
