| Chapter Twenty-Three The Ladies Turn (Part 1) |
||
| As a light shined on the stage a man stood in the center. He was wearing an all leather ensemble: tight leather pants that showed off his muscular legs and a tight leather vest that showed off his ripped chest. The light slowly went up the body until it rested on the biceps of the man showing off his tattoos of four squares. It continued up his body exposing his face. It was Max with a sexy closely shaved goatee and long brown hair that rested on his shoulders. | ||
| To the majority of the audience it was just a sexy, dangerous looking man dressed in leather. However, to two people in the audience it was just Max (i.e. Belle and Michael). | ||
| As Michael sat in the audience he was baffled as to what was going on and getting a little suspicious. ~What the hell is Max doing up there? And why does he look like Zan? ~ Those were the questions Michael asked himself as the music started. | ||
| *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* | ||
| The light on the stage split into five separate beams located around the stage. One of the beams to Max's nearest left brightened. A woman began to walk towards him as Kiss* played in the background. | ||
| As the woman moved closer the beam moved up her body slowly. First showcasing the great well-toned legs in the strappy three-inch heels. Then, the tight leather skirt that ended mid-thigh to the sleeveless satin royal blue button down wrap shirt, to the woman's magnificent long brown hair that moved as she walked to her brilliant blue eyes. She walked towards Max in a fluid motion that went along seductively to the beat of the song until she was standing in front of him. | ||
| Udon't have 2 be beautiful | ||
| 2 turn me on | ||
| I just need your body baby | ||
| From dust til dawn... | ||
| Chloe placed her hands on his shoulders; she looked back at Philip her hair swinging as she tilted her head. She gazed into his (Philip's) eyes as she swayed her hip in such a way that her leg rose and Max clutched it to him. | ||
| *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* | ||
| After seeing that movement with the man who had his hands on Chloe, Philip got annoyed and began to rise from his seat. However, Brady noticed this and pulled him back down before he could go anywhere. | ||
| "Dude, you need to clam down it's just a dance. See... it's over now, so just relax." Brady said as he pointed to the stage where Chloe's leg was sliding down Max's side and he was spinning her away from him as another light brightened. | ||
| *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* | ||
| As Max spun Chloe away from him, he grabbed another hand and brought someone else into the light. Mimi walked into his arms; she was dressed identically to Chloe except her shirt was a darker shade of blue, almost purple. They stood with Mimi's back to Max's front. Max crisscrossed his arms around Mimi pulling her more securely into his arms. As they came together, sensuously following the beat of the music they swayed down. | ||
| U don't need experience | ||
| 2 turn me out | ||
| U just leave it all up to me | ||
| I'm gonna show u what it's all about... | ||
| Then, as they rose back up together Max uncrossed his arms from around her and placed his hands on either side of her hips. Once they were up, she did a partial spilt on the floor and they rose again. This time as he glided back up he lifted her and allowing her body to slide down his until her feet touched the floor. | ||
| *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* | ||
| Brady jumped up and started to move to the stage after he saw the split maneuver, only to have Michael pull him back to sit down. Brady followed him back grinding his teeth all of the way there. Once he sat back down he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. | ||
| "It's just a dance man, relax." Philip said repeated what Brady had said to him a few minutes early and laughed at the irony of it. | ||
| "I can't relax. I want to know who is that dead man with is hands all over my wife!" Brady asked through his teeth. | ||
| "Don't worry he won't do anything out of line. She's in good hands, besides, if Mimi didn't want him touching her then she would put a stop to it. If she's okay with it then you should be too." Michael said calmly defining Max. | ||
| Brady relaxed enough to let it go as Mimi moved to the right of Max and Chloe came up on his left. Max wrapped his arms around both of them. Mimi and Chloe came close to Max almost kissing him then they turned to the audience and blew kisses at their husbands, respectively. | ||
| U don't have 2 be rich | ||
| 2 be my girl | ||
| U don't have 2 be cool | ||
| 2 rule my world | ||
| Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with | ||
| I just want your extra time and your | ||
| Kiss... | ||
| *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* | ||
| Shawn sat back and watched as Mimi and Chloe sauntered away from Max. He couldn't believe it; he looked at his brother-in-law and uncle. They both had that fierce Kiriakis look of determination on their faces. Man, were they mad. They were more than annoyed they were downright pissed. Even though, Shawn knew if he were in their place he would be just as mad, too. But, he had to admit that it was really funny. Just as he was about to laugh, Belle pinched his thigh under the table. He looked over at her. She gave him her knock it off look and urged him to keep quiet. His laughter died down as another woman walked into the spotlight. | ||
| *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* | ||
| This time it was Maria who walked onto the stage; the lighting made her straightened long blonde hair gleam. She wore a flowing black spandex skirt with a classy emerald green wraparound shirt. Maria walked up behind Max as Chloe and Mimi walked back into the shadows. She placed her hand on his shoulder to turn him around. Once he faced her she began to push him back with one finger on his chest walking him back to the beat of the music. Max grabbed her hand and spun her into a dip that left one of her legs propped on his hip. While leaning backwards, Maria tilted her head back and mouthed "Yeah," looking at Michael. | ||
| U got to not talk dirty, baby | ||
| If u wanna impress me | ||
| U can't be 2 flirty, mama | ||
| I know how 2 undress me (yeah) ... | ||
| Michael gave Max a knowing look, before Max brought Maria upright then slid his hands up the length of her body. From her the sides of her breasts to the upper curve of thighs, Michael arched his eyebrow at this as he spoke to Max in his mind. ~Hands off the goods, Maxwell. ~ In response, Max simply smiled and moved his hands back up her thighs and grabbed her butt, as he turned and spun her off to the side. | ||
| *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* | ||
| Michael became irate and nearly melted the glass in his hands. The other men at the table hardly noticed this, Brady and Philip were too busy thanking God that the guy didn't grab their wives' asses. Meanwhile, Shawn sat back by Belle trying desperately to hard to contain his laughter. | ||
| "Well, if we all jump him-," Philip started off saying smiling at the thought when Miguel interrupted him. | ||
| "Guys, I think you should just cool it. It's really not that bad, I mean this is a Latin dance contest. You have to expect them to be a little risqu� otherwise it wouldn't be worth it. Would it? Besides it's for charity." Miguel said attempting to be the voice of reason. | ||
| "Shut up, L-F. You're only saying that because you haven't seen your wife up there yet. I guarantee you won't be as free and calm with your comments when it's her turn and she does something like our wives' did." Brady responded as he watched Maria walk away from Max. | ||
| "Look, I have nothing to worry about. Even if Kay does do something, I'm sure I won't get mad over some stupid little dance move. Besides, my wife would never do something too scandalous. It would be something very classy and tasteful." Miguel said. | ||
| "Based on what we've seen so far, I doubt that will be the case." Michael said. | ||
| "Hey, I'm totally okay with Kay doing this. I'm sure I won't have any problems." Miguel answered back ignoring the other men shaking their heads at him in doubt. They all watched for the next lady. | ||
| *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* | ||
| As Maria exited Kay sauntered up behind Max, she wore a skirt identical to Maria's and a wraparound shirt that was jade. She placed her hands on his shoulders. From there they slid down to his muscled chest where she pulled a part his vest exposing Max's well-sculpted chest. She touched his body feeling his chest, masculine shoulders and biceps as she pulled the vest off. Once then they returned to his shoulders, Max grabbed a hand and spun her around so that her back was to his front. Taking the hand he held, he placed her arm around his neck, and then he gently glided his fingertips down her side until he found her hand resting about her waist (similar to the move Johnny does to Baby in Dirty Dancing). He grabs her hand and spun her back around so she was facing him. | ||
| I want 2 be your fantasy | ||
| Maybe u could be mine | ||
| U just leave it all to me | ||
| We could have a good time... | ||
| Once she faced him she reached up and caressed his face. Max caught both of her hands and placed them around his neck loosely. She leaned on him until she was leaning completely on him. He leaned back then forward, as he leaned forward the hand that had once been placed on the small of Kay's back moved down to her butt, her thigh, then finally lifting her leg into the air and over his shoulder. As he stood up he lifted Kay over his shoulder so that she slid down his back and landed gracefully in a split on the stage. Then she maneuvered herself into a position where she sat on her knees. Max turned around grabbed her hand and lifted her up on to her feet. Once he sat her on her feet, Kay turned and strutted away to the beat of the music. Stopping halfway back she turned and winked flirtatiously at Miguel before continuing her strut. | ||
| *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* | ||
| Miguel rose from the table and began to head towards the stage. Michael, Philip, Shawn, and Brady jumped to their feet and ran after him. They grabbed his arms and pulled him back to his seat. He began to struggle a little with them as they held him; Michael and Brady had one side while Philip and Shawn had the other. | ||
| "What happened to 'It's just a dance'?" Brady asked. | ||
| "Yeah, and what about we should expect it after all it is Latin, it has to be a little risqu�?" Philip asked. | ||
| "He touched her... her leg was on his shoulder. That bastard had his hands all over my wife. Wait till I get my hands on him. Look, if you guys let me go, I'll make sure that you get a chance with him too." Miguel said as he tried to reason with them. "Come on, just think about, we could sneak up and attack him. That would teach him to touch our wives." All of the men thought about it and they were willing to let him go because they all wanted a piece of him. They released him, yet he never got very far because as he started to rise a surprisingly strong grip pulled him back into his seat. | ||
| "Uh, I don't think so. You are not going to ruin this performance." Belle said releasing him as she sat back down. | ||
| "Why not?' Brady asked only to have Belle turn to him and stare at him with her death ray eyes. | ||
| "Well, first of all this is Theresa's show. Think how it would look if her own brother caused a disturbance. I don't think she would appreciate that." Belle said looking pointedly at Miguel. "And I don't think your cousin would appreciate you beating up her husband." | ||
| They all looked a little shocked at finding out the man they wanted to beat up was Max, all except for Michael. They couldn't believe a guy who was a nice and reasonable like him would do this. Shawn sat back and watched the looks of confusion pass through the men's heads. He couldn't hold it in anymore. He laughed. | ||
| "Oh, this is great. You guys were all jealous of ... Max." Shawn laughed and he probably would have continued laughing at the guys if it hadn't have been for Belle elbowing him in the stomach, he looked at her and grimaced. | ||
| "Well, I just don't see why he had to do this with my wife. I mean couldn't he do that with his own wife." Miguel said pouting before he saw his cousin on the stage. | ||
| *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* | ||
| While the men were dealing with their problems, the ladies on the stage had gone through an entire verse. Now they were in the process of wrapping up their last parts. | ||
| Yes | ||
| I think I wanna dance | ||
| Gotta, gotta | ||
| Little girl Wendy's parade | ||
| Gotta, gotta, gotta... | ||
| The girls came around Max from all sides. Chloe was first; she twirled in front of him before moving to her left. Kay repeated the action except she moved to his right. Maria twirled to the right and Mimi to the left. The four ladies then sauntered to the front of the stage and then to the back. When they returned to Max's side, they spilt two girls going to the right and two to the left off stage, leaving Max standing alone with Liz. | ||
| Women not girls rule my world | ||
| I said rule my world | ||
| Act your age, mama (not your shoe size) | ||
| Not your shoe size | ||
| Maybe we could do the twirl... | ||
| Liz walked backward as Max approached her until she was up against the wall with his arms barricading her. She then dipped under his arms and attempted to strut towards the center of the stage only to be stopped by Max as he grabbed her by the waist and turned her back to him. He held her tightly against him. They looked into each other's eyes, and then she broke contact with hind to look at the audience and say "Yeah" as she wrapped her arms around his neck. | ||
| U just leave it all up 2 me | ||
| My love will be your food | ||
| Yeah... | ||
| She loosened her hold on his neck and allowed herself a little space. They moved quickly into a salsa as the other women walked back onto the stage this time with their husbands, respectively, following them. She had spun around three full times before Max stopped her and brought her back into his arms. All the while the other ladies were making their presence known as they walked up on the sides of Max and Liz, who stood center place on the stage. | ||
| U don't have 2 be rich | ||
| 2 be my girl | ||
| U don't have 2 be cool | ||
| 2 rule my world | ||
| Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with | ||
| I just want your extra time and your | ||
| Kiss... | ||
| As soon as they got up to where Max was standing with Liz, each of the ladies took their positions next to him. Maria and Mimi moved to the right and left, respectively, clutching his biceps. Chloe and Kay on the other hand, moved to the stand behind him on the left and right, respectively, with both their hands on his shoulders. Max tilted Liz's chin up as if he were going kiss her, he began to lean down toward her. But, then all of the sudden he lifted his head and turned toward the audience and smiled. | ||
| *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* | ||
| From the audiences perspective the scene on the stage was pretty funny. In the center of the stage was the long dark-haired, vest less, well-toned man smiling, Max in disguise, with his wife Liz in his arms. She stood out from all of the other women because of her outfit and thigh-high black boots. She looked like she was going to kiss him. But, she wasn't the only one. The other four women who had their long straightened hair about their shoulders were just wrapped around him also looking at him as if they were going to kiss. | ||
| However, the funny thing was that there were four men standing on the stage in the back just off the center. They were sort of surrounding the other four women, side by side they stood with their white t-shirts and black pants making them gleam in the background. They had their arms crossed with their biceps bulging and were sort of frowning at the group before them. The thing about it was that they looked just like the group of men sat at the table in front of the stage and practically charging at the stage after every lady danced with Max. | ||
| They figured that, that was probably choreographed into the performance to make it seem as if they were really mad. Well again, this was a hell of a way to introduce a new chapter of the ball. Obviously, if the beginning was just this good then the other performances were going to be better, they thought as the applauded the performance. | ||
