Ari started first, then Ellie, and then Heather. In all the times I’d ever seen these girls dance, I’d never seen them move their hips like they were moving them now.
“Dude, did you know they could move like that?” I asked Jeff as I turned toward him.
He had his beer frozen to his lips. I glanced over at Josh, and I’d be damned if his mouth
wasn’t hanging open. He looked shocked as shit.
I turned back to the girls. I couldn’t help but notice that Heather really knew how to dance. She was dancing just like Shakira. Her hips were moving all over the place.
Then, I looked at Ellie. Holy motherfucking shit.
“Holy shit,” Jeff said.
“Um,” was all Josh could get out.
I couldn’t pull my eyes away from Ellie. I was thanking God that we’d hit our six-week mark. I moved around to adjust myself.
Once the song ended, the girls walked back over to us.
Ellie came and sat on my lap. She raised her eyebrows at me as she smiled.
“Motherfucker. Ari…are you trying to kill me?” Jeff asked.
Ari laughed. “God, I haven’t danced like that in years. I didn’t know my hips could still move like that!”
“If I knew your hips moved like that, we could have—”
“Eww! Stop, Jefferson! Just stop!” Ellie scrunched up her nose.
I couldn’t help but laugh. “Baby, I think we can skip Matt Kimbrow and just go home!” I said with a shit-eating grin.
Ellie threw her head back and laughed. “Oh no, Gunner. I’m gonna have me a good time tonight!”
Just then, Selena Gomez’s “Come and Get It” started playing. Heather was standing in front of a still stunned Josh. When she reached her hand out, he took it, and they made their way to the dance floor.
“Get it, girl!” Ari called out.
I looked at Ari. “Did you ask for that song, too?”
Ari smiled and winked at me. “Fuck yeah, I did!”
I looked back out, and those two were really dancing. With the way Heather was moving up against Josh, I felt sorry for the poor bastard.
“Damn…I’m even getting turned on by watching them dance!” Ari busted out.
Ellie started laughing. “You’re pregnant. Everything makes you horny when you’re pregnant!”
“True dat!” Ari said as she stood up. “Dance with me,” she said to Jeff.
“You wanna dance?” I asked Ellie.
She shook her head and moved a little on my lap. I smiled as I pulled her closer to me.
I fucking love this girl.
I’d never seen Ellie have so much fun. She loved the Matt Kimbrow Band. They were playing “If It All Goes Right,” and Ellie, Heather, and Ari were dancing.
Every now and then, she would look over and smile at me.
