The Ladies' turn continued ...  (Part 2)
This is the Liz and Max dance it is directly after the group dance.
As the audience applauded Max and the girls, the other four women left the stage with their husbands, leaving Max and Liz center stage.
~Alright, are you ready to do this? ~ Liz asked Max silently in his mind to which he nodded. The music started, Max released Liz and she took a few steps away to get into position.
Liz now stood in character, she pointed at him and motioned 'No,' with one leg arched out stretching her short leather skirt to a maximum point and moving her hips seductively with the beat of the music*.
... Baby, hell no
That's not the way it goes
It's all about me tonight
I can't stop loving you 
Cause your still my boo, still my boo
But you gotta see
Tonight it's all about me, me, me, me, me...
Liz began a seductive walk towards Max swinging her hips in tune with the beat of the song.  As she stopped in front of him with her 4-inch stiletto knee high boots, he crossed his arms over his massive chest.  As if pondering her actions.  As the chorus came on she moved her body close to his, got up to his face as if to kiss him.  Her hands framed his face.
Tonight it's all about me, me, me, me, me, ...
Her hands slid down from his face to his shoulders and then fell away as she did four basic cha-cha steps.   On what would be the fifth step she moved in back of him.
Forget about you, you, you, you, you, ...
Once she was in back of him she placed her hands upon his shoulders and moved them to his raveled arms which she pulled apart and allowed one hand to grasp hers as he spun her around to stand in front of him.
So what you gonna do, do, do, do, do, ...
When she was in front of Max again she released his hand and shimmed to the beat of the music and slowly she used her hips to pronounce each movement as she glided down.
Are you gonna get it up, get it up...
She then rose back up repeated the exact same movements and took Max's hand again.  Together they eased into a smooth rhythmic dance together as if their bodies had been made to dance with one another.  Then as the song changed Max spun Liz out and then pulled her back in as she let her dance erotically in the frame of his arms.
Look at your eyes lookin' at my thighs
Now seeing my body right to left, left to right
You know that shit is tight
Now just look at my body, body, uh-huh
And just hold me like a man should...
As Max held Liz's hands he moved down her body so that his eyes were level with her thighs.  Liz moved her leg in between his.  She raised her leg until the stiletto heel rested upon his thigh.  Max released her hand to stare at her legs.  When his gaze reached her hips she moved to the right then the left like the song said.  After those two seductive movements, Max positioned one hand on her boot-clad calve and began to move it up her leg.
Tonight, it's about me, me, me, me, me
Forget about you, you, you, you, you
So what you gonna do, do, do, do, do
Are you gonna get it up, get it up...
As Max's hand began to slide up Liz's leg, she trapped it on her knee and shimmied down to him.  She kissed his hand letting her tongue slide erotically between his fingers, winking at him and then shimmying back up.  She tossed her hair back and arched her brow as if she had asked him a question.
His hand continued the journey up her leg edging up till his hand was under her skirt and on her thigh, where he felt a garter belt.  He then slid his hand back out to the edge of the skirt.
You know that I'm gonna love you for life 
So let's make tonight, let's make tonight
My arms are open wide
So let me come inside...
Max rose still holding Liz's leg, he propped it on his hip so that it could slide down his leg.  After her foot hit the floor Max pulled Liz into his arms and moved into a quick cha-cha rhythm before spinning her around in front of him.
It's all about me, about me, about me, yeah
I wanna be you slave, I wanna be your slave tonight
I know you will, oh baby, yeaaaah
And watch your body
Ya better get it right, ooooooh...
Liz stood facing the audience, her back to his front, as she held his hands she pull him behind her to lean on him.  She grabbed each of his hands and slowly guided them down her body from the sides of her breasts to her hips.  Once she got them there she left them.  Her hands moved to Max's hair and she brought his head down towards her neck.  As his lips traveled up her neck she turned her head and met his lips in a kiss.
And that was all the audience saw as the curtain closed on the couple.  Behind the curtain Liz had turned around in Max's arms and she kissed him breathless.  Once she got her breath back she spoke to him.  "Did I ever tell you what we did instead of going to the Gomez concert that night?" She asked him as she played with his still long hair.  Since he hadn't morphed back into himself yet, there were too many people around.
"No, you didn't." Max said as he touched her bare back below the ties of her shirt.
"Well, I think that it's about time that I did.  Come on, I want to show you something." Liz said coming out of his arms to leave him on the stage.  When she noticed he hadn't followed her yet, she went back to him and pulled him behind her forgetting all about the other couples and leaving the charity ball.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Michael and Maria were pulled onto the dance floor by the coordinator of the dancers as the next couple to perform.  They were wearing coordinating outfits, to some extent.  Before they got into position Maria fixed Michael's tie.
"Maria, I can't believe you did this.  It was bad enough watching Max get freaky with you on stage. But, now you pulled me into this and I have to perform.  You know I hate dancing." Michael said as he grabbed her hands and held them fast.  He looked rather dashing and distinguished in his all black attire.  Maria had made him change into another solid black shirt, added a black tie and a black vest to his wardrobe.   Maria, on the other hand, had on a black dress that had blood red roses on it.  It was a filmy layered dress with her back bare with a slim rhinestone tipped ties and ended a with inches above her knees with a pair of black, strappy, open toed shoes.
"Michael, consider this payback.  Besides, we've done this dance before and it will be loads of fun." She finished fixing his tie and removed her hands from him.  "It was Belle's idea for us to do this and we all thought that it would be fun.  Max wasn't originally in the dance.  But, he offered to be in it and then he morphed into Zan.  The rest as they say is history.  Man, the look on your face was priceless when," Michael interrupted her.
"Okay, so you got us back good.  But, why did you sign me up for this? You know that I can't dance."
"Michael you have nothing to worry about.  I made sure to pick something that you've done before.  Now, just relax and have some fun." She said as she moved into position as the curtain opened.
Michael took a deep breath and remained in the spot Maria left him in. As the music started with a violin playing a tango beat, "Dance With Me*"  As soon as he heard it, he knew exactly what to do.
Maria took steps walking over to him until she stood in front of him.  She moved in back of him spreading his legs apart with her foot.  Michael placed his hands his pockets.  Only placing his thumps in the corners.  She spun around until she was in front of him.  Her long blonde hair accentuated her movements swiftly making them more pronounced (it was in a low ponytail).  She grabbed his hands out pockets placed one on her bare back and positioned the other with her hand.  She pulled him to her and did a step for him to mimic.
What I really wanna do
Is just dance with you 
And feel your body tight
Show ya how to do it right
I can show you every move
I know just what to do
Each step we do is refine
One dance and you'll be mine...
They moved in sync with each other in easy tango steps.  Michael mimicked Maria steps perfectly. As the last verse of the chorus ended Michael released Maria and spun her out of his arms.  When she moved out of his arms, she placed one leg ahead of the other.
So baby when we hit the floor
You'll be asking for more
Let's make love and dance the night away 
Oh come and dance with me, my baby
Let's dance, do it, go crazy
The night is young and so are we
Let's make love and dance the night away...
She held her hand out to him; he took it and pulled her body to his. She put her arms down by her side.  Michael swept his hands down her body until he reached her hands hanging by her sides.  He maneuvered them into a fast pace salsa, then slow paced salsa steps.  Their hands never moved from being clasped by her sides as they moved in synchronized movements expertly executing the steps.  She looked up at him and he held her gaze for the a while.  Then, she broke her gaze from his as she placed her hands on his shoulders while his moved to the small of her back.
On put your hands in mine
Promise, I'll take my time
We'll dance from head to toe
I can dance fast or slow
Baby look into my eyes
Let the music hypnotize
Let our bodies synchronize
When we're dancing you'll be mine...
Michael, still looking down into Maria's eyes, reached up and grabbed one of her hands off his shoulder to spin her around.  After two spins he brought her back to him and they moved together at an ease with smooth salsa steps.
Still holding one hand he swung her out in front of him and let her salsa toward the audience then turn back to him.  They moved into a fast paced tango.  He spun her once again before they began the tango.
So baby when we hit the floor
You'll be asking for more 
Let's make love and dance the night away 
Oh come and dance with me, my baby
Let's dance, do it go crazy
The night is young and so are we
Let's make love and dance the night away...
As they moved into a fast-paced tango, Maria felt her hair start to come down, tendrils of her hair were hanging down out of the black band she had surrounding it.  Michael stopped to dip Maria back while doing so he propped one of her legs around his waist.  When he brought her back up, he placed her other leg on his waist thereby bring her chest level with his face.
Maria placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed herself up and onto Michael's shoulders before turning herself around.  She then slid down his back until she was on her feet again.  Once she was on her feet she turned and kicked a leg out over Michael's thigh to have him spin her around to stand in front of him once again and they moved into a fast paced salsa.
Oh when it comes to dancing
I know how to move
When it comes to passion
I know just what to do
I feel the music inside 
I feel like I am alive 
Pretend I was right
Let's make love...
As they salsa around the floor, Michael spun Maria around numerous times.  After doing a double spin, he pulled her back to him and brought her in close before he dipped her back.  But, this time instead of bringing her up, he leaned her down and placed his head on hers.  Maria wrapped her arms around his neck; her fingers touched his slicked back hair.  "So how was I?"
Oh come and dance 
Let's dance
The night
Let's make love and dance the night away 
Oh come and dance with me, my baby
Let's dance, do it go crazy
The night is young and so are we
Let's make love and dance the night away...
"You were perfect, spaceboy.  Just perfect." Maria answered before meeting Michael's lips in a kiss behind the closed curtain.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Maria and Michael had made their way back to the table to see Belle and Shawn talking.  Maria wondered where Liz and Max had gone.  So as soon as she sat down she asked.
"I don't know.  She said something about Gomez. And then she and Max took off." Belle shrugged.  "Whatever, that means. So Michael, tell me did you like your surprise?"
"Like is not a word I would use." He answered only to have Maria look at him questioningly.  "What? You know I hate dancing and besides that I wanted to kill Max."
"Yeah, Maria you should have seen it.  The guys all got steaming mad when they saw Max with you and the other women.  I had to practically cover Shawn's mouth so he wouldn't laugh." Belle said looking over at her still amused husband.
"Hey, if you would have told me what was going on I wouldn't have reacted the way I did.  But, it's not my fault they were so amusing.  I didn't laugh at all of them.  But, I did laugh especially at Miguel.  First, he was like to voice of reason with you guys then, Max and Kay danced.  I'm surprised that we were able to hold him back considering how mad he was.  He was practically flying out of his seat with his anger.  It was so funny." Shawn said placing his arm around Belle's chair.
"Even, I have to admit that was funny.  Because, he was Mr. Calm, Cool and Collected until Kay was up there with Max. He was so pissed." Michael said as he and Shawn laughingly high-fived each other.
"You guys are so immature." Maria said rolling her eyes as the curtain opened for the next performance.
