“Ha! I don’t know why I invited you, other than I am working my ass off and could use some support. I’m nervous as hell on this one. The first one was relatively easy and fun. This one is a whole lot more work, and damn, it’s sexy as hell.”

“What do you mean sexy?”

“This girl is going to be in my arms, and there is probably nowhere on her body that I won’t be touching. I’m serious; it’s a really sexy song.”

“Hmm, maybe I’ll have to come.” He paused. “Alice going to be there?”

“Why? You want to try the dance out on her?” I smirked his way.

“No, I’m not interested in Alice. Why does everyone think that?”

“If you aren’t interested in her, then why did you ask if she would be there?”

He shrugged. “Alice is not my type.”

“Your type?” I barked out a laugh. “Dude, you two would be explosive together. It’s so funny that you both deny it, but all of us see it.”

“You guys are making shit up. Can we focus on work now? I wanted to talk to you about a trip we will be making next month. Or are you going to be changing careers and dancing full time now?”

“You’re a shithead. Talk.”

Jake and I discussed business for about an hour, and we decided that I would head it up since it was another humanitarian mission to deliver more medical supplies. Greg and Maggie would be going with me—the first one that she would officially be going on—and Brett, Wyatt, and Drake would also be coming along.

I glanced at my watch. “I gotta get going. Today is the dress rehearsal.”

He shook his head as he laughed. “What time is this competition tomorrow?”

“Not sure, but I’ll let you know.”

“Go break a leg or something.” He waved me out of his office as his desk phone rang.

I turned my computer off and grabbed my keys from my desk before I stopped by Maggie’s office. “I hear you are going with us on our next trip.”

Her eyes sparkled. “Are you serious? Did he just tell you that?”

“He did.”

Maggie jumped out of her chair and threw her arms around me. “Thank you!”

“Don’t thank me, thank Jake.”

“Are you dancing with my woman again?” Greg asked from the door as I stepped back from Maggie.

“I get to go!” she said excitedly.

“Go where?” He looked confused.

“On the mission next month.”

“Ah, good stuff.” He grinned at her as she rushed past him and down the hallway.

“How come you got a hug, and I got brushed past?” Greg asked as she disappeared down the hallway.

I snickered. “Because I gave her the good news. What are you doing here? Why aren’t you teaching the class today?”

“I had to come by and pick something up. Our handouts were missing. Alice made new ones for me.”

“Ah, how is the class going?”
