So, I said this would be a two parter, but I’m a lying liar who lies because it has grown to three. Modern AU where Emma and Tink are used to their friend Ruby’s crazy ideas so when she signs them up for belly dance lessons they both just shrug and go along with it.
Part One is here
Rating…is still T (for now)
……….
“And five, six, five six seven eight!”
Jasmine’s voice rose over the music, giving the class the cue to begin the dance. Emma watched herself in the mirror that ran the length of the room, moving through the steps along with the other students. A few people from the first day had already dropped out and there were some who didn’t show up for every class, but a core group had developed over the past few weeks. Ruby and Tink shimmied next to her, one on each side, while Belle was one row back. The brunette now brought her own scarf to wrap around her hips instead of using one of Jasmine’s – Hermes, of all things, to the freaking gym. It would be easy to dismiss her as nothing but a brainless golddigger with a rich husband, but she was probably the most well-read person Emma had ever met and she was just so…sweet. It was impossible to hate her.
“Bend those knees and keep your chests up, ladies!”
Emma shook her hips, following Jasmine’s arm movements as best she could. They’d learned the basics, belly rolls, walking shimmy, hip circles, and a movement Jasmine called a reverse figure eight that was very sexy and snakelike when she did it. Now they were working on a short routine that combined all the moves.
“Very good, Ruby!”
To neither Emma nor Tink’s surprise, Ruby had taken to belly dancing like a duck to water. She had even dragged them to the Moroccan restaurant where Jasmine put on a show for the customers every Friday and Saturday night, and had happily joined her on the small stage when she asked for an audience volunteer.
