Chapter 572 - Five Hundred And Seventy-Two: Impress The Queen (1/2)
The third point of view:
”I love this!”
”I hate this!” was Isabella's negative confession unlike the enthusiastic Anabelle waltzing around with her partner, Julie.
Today's lesson on Lincolnshire centered on dancing - Isabella's worst nightmare. With the couples facing each other, it incorporates moves from other dances such as swing, modern jive, and salsa. Basically, the dancers progress around the dance floor with a waltz step, but with no constraints on what moves they can use.
And so far Isabella could no longer count the number of steps she stepped on Pedro's toes than the number of times she did a spin.
It was just too much for her. Isabella was a master planner but the twirls and turns spin her brain, she couldn't come to a good analysis. So in one word, she was a bad dancer.
”Ouch,” Pedro tried not to yelp but a high heel - Jacqueline had made it mandatory - suddenly stepping on his toes was not exactly a concealable pain.
”Maybe, we should stop this,” Isabella said, and out of the corner of her eyes, Isabella watched the perfect Anabelle as Julie did a quarter-left turn while still holding on to her.
Julie then firmly leads her with his right hand on her back, so that Anabelle travels across and turns around, and faces the opposite direction she was facing. At the same time, Julie does another quarter-left turn as necessary in order to follow Anabelle and face her. They were both skilled and moved with fluid motion and perfection.
”It's hopeless anyway. This is the one thing I cannot do,” Isabella shook her head and turned to withdraw from the dance.
However, Pedro drew her back, pulling her closer, and leaned in to whisper, ”We don't need to dance to be perfect....” his lips tickle her ear, her pulse raced, ”We could just have fun,”
Pedro braced his hand on her hips, leading and giving her no choice but to sway to the music. They were not perfect but they sure were perfect at that moment.
Anabelle was delighted, for the second time in her life she discovered something Isabella was not good at. She couldn't help but wonder why she had been jealous in the first place. She and Isabella were two different people with different personalities and passions. This made her realize Isabella was not a goddess of perfection as she once thought.
Julie had been right, she had to find her niche and now she found it, she was happy. Anabelle looked up at adoration, she was lucky to have him.
However, amid the good dancers - Anabelle and Pedro - another couple stood out greatly.
”Perfect!” Jacqueline complimented the couple Ailee and Neon as they waltzed to the beat and counts. The kids were extraordinary! How had she not seen this?
But then, a certain figure had a huge scowl on his face even as he waltzed and that was no other person than Allen. Because there was no other person to partner with, he and his cousin Akim had to dance together. Although both were good, Ailee and Neon were better and Allen blamed it on Akim being a he - he would dance much better with a female partner!
Ailee, Allen, and Neon had tactically elicited information from their cousin Akim regarding Lord Albert. But then, none of the information helped their plan of stealing his phone.
They couldn't visit his place unless they got permission from their parents - which was mission impossible. Their parents would draw the truth out of their mouth - and for a great reason.
They had planned to use Akim but then, their cousin had no desire to visit the man and they couldn't press him else he suspects their plan.
