Julie's POV

I had changed into a pair of black tapered pants, matching them with a black sports bra, along with some black trainers. I was nervous for some reason, I had never taken dance before; but Mam encouraged me saying "You'll never know unless you try" so here I am, probably going to make a fool out of myself.

"Oh hey Jules! You're taking this class?" No sh!t Sherlock..

"Obviously" I said rolling my eyes making her raise her eyebrow

"You're lucky I like you Walsh!" Cameron said giving me a playful shove

"Tweedy-Walsh" I corrected her, I was getting really irritated with people messing about with my surname

"Cocky.. I like it" she winked and before I could reply to her the dance teacher walked in. He looked like he could knock someone out with one swing of his fit as fck arms! He was gorgeous, tall, light-skinned African American man with piercing green eyes. Hello to my new favorite course.

"Alright listen up mates! We're going to start off today's class with some free-styling! You can all call me Marcus.. You're up!" He pointed to a kid in class, the kid was already hyped up; jumping to his feet making his way to the front of the dance studio to show off his skills. I'm definitely in the wrong class, this kid was breaking it down like he came out of his Mums wound popping and locking it. Damn you Mam and your skilled persuasioning. Classmate after classmate went up until eventually it was my turn. Hell even Cameron new what the hell she was doing. I sighed standing to my feet. Now or never, just get it over with. I told myself

The beat filled the studio and I found my body working to the rhythm; becoming one with the vibing beats. Arm swings, jabs, popping my chest and stomping my feet as the beat picked up I found myself popping my backside twerking a bit for the classes entertainment getting some whoops and whistles. I let my body be creative, jerking my legs from side-to-side. I was really surprised with what my body could do, I was discovering a new me I haven't known was even there.

"That was great T-Walsh!" Fcks sake man! I let him call me what ever he wanted, if they all looked like Marcus they can call me rubbish for all I care

"Class dismissed, have a good day! Practice your moves for tomorrow's class" Class flew by, I decided not to change back into my clothes seeing as this is my last course

"Julie we should get together sometime and dance" Cameron said whilst I packed my stuff

"Yeah sure, I have a dance studio at home if you ever want to come by" I said throwing my gym bag over my shoulder

"As fcking if! That would be cool, for sure I'll get your number some other time and we'll make a plan out of it! I really need to go!" She said already running down the school corridors. I went the opposite direction, promising Libby I'd meet her in the school parking lot just like how we always used to last year. I kept getting double takes, as people took in the sight of me; and then it hit me, I was in my fcking sports bra!

"Look away you fcking twat!" I hissed at a girl as she gocked at me. I picked up my pace trying to get out of the school as fast as possible

"Jules?" Libby raised her eyebrow looking at me from head-to-toe

"I know I'm in my fcking sports bra! I don't see the big deal but people seem to think it's okay to have a reason to stare at my chest" I rambled making her giggle

"Well, they are nice and perky.. And want to know something?" She whispered wrapping her arms around my waist

"What?.. Lib people are staring" I hissed as she began to kiss my cleavage

"Good, let them stare.. Because no one can touch you the way I do" She said trailing her hands down to my bum giving it a rough squeeze

"What's gotten into you?" I giggled as she kissed my neck

"Nothing, you just look really hot right now. I keep picturing me between y- *BEEEEP*" looks like Mam's here, Libby literally jumped off me quicker than you could say Mam

"Babe, My Mam doesn't bite" I laughed hysterically as I saw the blood drain from her face

"I better go before she has a fit.. Love you" I kissed her and made my way to Mam's car

"What ya doin' wearin' your bra!?" She snapped

"Mam! It was my last class I didn't feel like changing" I huffed

"Oooooh! How was it? Did you enjoy it? Go on tell us about your day!" She beamed driving out of the school lot, she kept taking glances when I didn't answer smiling at me like a loon

"My teacher is fit as fck! Oh my god.. I'm telling ya, I'll be spending a lot of time in the studio" I sighed dreaming about Marcus's fit body

"Well.. Did you learn anything?" She asked uninterested in my confession

"Yeah, I surprised myself. I actually know how to dance, my body was filled with so much adrenaline after! I just wanted to keep dancing!" I spoke with so much passion making Mam's smile grow wider if that was even possible

"Oh good! I won't be dancin' by meself anymore in our studio!" She jumped in her seat

"Hey Mam? Aren't you forgetting Sophie?" I asked making her slam the break down

"FCK!"

Julie's POV

"You don't say a word to your Mum" Mam hissed as we walked up to the front door

"You know there was these really nice pair of shoes I saw-"

"Blackmail isn't nice Julie!" She said jabbing me in the shoulder scowling at me. This is going to be fun. We walked in to be met by the sweet aroma of baking

"Mmmm what's Mum baking?" I licked my lips following the heavenly smell

"Hey Mum!" I cheered going over and giving her a hug and kiss. Her smile went to a questioning pout as she took in my attire

"Dance class" I said making her raise her eyebrow

"I've taken dance classes Julie I didn't wear a bra to any of them" She said sternly

"Fine! Mam can just take me to buy some dance clothes.. Won't you Mam?" I smiled cheekily giving her a knowing look

"Aye.. Yeah.. Course" You could practically hear Mam's gulp as she stood there nervously looking sorry for herself

"Hey Soph! How was your first day? Did you make any friends?" Mum said as she walked out of the kitchen with Sophie

"Don't push it" Mam said pointing her finger at me

"Push itttt, push it real good" I sang dancing in my spot, making her huff and stomp her foot like a stubborn child not getting their way

"Aw Mam you know I'm only joking.. Come on, bring it in" I said opening my arms, she pouted accepting my hug

"You'll take me to the shops tomorrow.. Or today. I'll let you choose" I winked giving her a kiss on the cheek before skipping out of the kitchen and up to my room for a shower and change

Cheryl's POV

That girls going to be the death of us! I groaned walking over to the oven and seeing Kimba had whipped up a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. Bless her.

"Hotttt! Hottt!" I fanned me mouth as the hot cookie burned me mouth

"Yeah babe, that's what hot cookies do" Kimba said shaking her head as she walked in taking in the sight of us

"Open your mouth pet" I said with a mouth full of hot cookies. She smiled thinking I was going to feed her the cookie in me hand, she opened wide closing her eyes. I spit the cookie out of me mouth, and fed it to her

"Babe! What the fck!" She cringed, ready to spit it out

"Eat it if you love us!" I said seriously, I didn't expect her to but she chewed and swallowed the chewed up, saliva infused cookie

"Fck off!" She pushed me out of the way grabbing a cookie for herself

"Did it taste any good?" I asked cheekily taking a bite out of the warm cookie

"You wanna have a taste?" She asked putting a piece in her mouth

"Go on, only cause I love ya" I've never done anything like this before, I was never one to share me food; especially not this way. Being with Kimba showed sides to us I didn't know existed. I would surprise meself everyday

"Open up" She said chewing the cookie well before bringing her mouth to me own making out with us slipping the chewed up cookie into me mouth

"What the fck?" I heard Julie gasp making us spring apart and wipe me mouth quickly

"You guys are so disgusting" she cringed her face full of disgust and horror

"I was only giving your Mam a kiss" Kimba said trying to make the situation a little bit more normal

"Mum cut the crap.. I watched you chew the food and practically spit it in Mam's mouth. Arghhh I just wanted to come down for a cookie.. I don't even want anymore!" she shuddered walking back out of the kitchen

"Can I just say, that was the best cookie I've ever had" I said making Kimba laugh loudly

Julie's POV

"Soph.. You sleeping?" I whispered walking into her room

"No" She yawned sitting up and making room for me on her bed

"Did you have any troubles today?" I asked pulling her into my arms

"No I made a lot of friends, one girl already called me her best friend.. I don't even know her name" She said making me laugh

"My little sister is popular, makes one of us" I said making her giggle

"Your cool Julie, some girls sister in my class was talking about you" she said getting my interest

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, she said she hoped you guys would become friends" I wonder who she was talking about

"Hmm, anything else happen?"

"My teacher is extra nice to me.. Do you think it's because of Cheryl and Kim?" She was way to clever for her age

"Probably, are you upset about it?"

"No, I get to always lead the line" she said proudly making me laugh at how innocent she was

"Alright princess, get some sleep" I said seeing how tired she was, I tucked her in giving her a kiss and saying my good nights before going down to the front room

"Hey boy! You're getting so big, yes you are.. Yes.. Yes!" I cooed rolling about on the floor with Lucky as he licked away my face

"When you're done making out with that dog come give us a cuddle" Mam said as she laid out on the sofa turning on the telly

"Oh does Mama want a cuddle? Yes she does!" I picked up lucky in my arms walking us to Mam

"Don't you dare put that dog on us!" She warned putting her legs up in the air like it would stop me

"I don't think he likes you very much.." I giggled as lucky jumped out of my arms and ran out of the room like his life depended on it

"Come here bubba" She said taking my arm and yanking me on top if her

"Mam you're like an anaconda.. You don't need to wrap your legs around my waist for a cuddle.. Can't you just cuddle like normal a person?" I groaned

"Alright go on, how do you want us to cuddle ya?" She asked unwrapping her legs from around me

"Spread your legs out just a bit" I said laughing at how wrong that sounded. I slid myself on her, placing my legs on either side of her thigh with my head resting against her chest and my arm around her waist

"Better?" She asked wrapping her arms around me

"Mhmm much better" I said smiling at how much I always dreamed about cuddling with my biological Mam, and here I was; whenever I wanted a cuddle, I didn't even need to ask.

"Live shows are coming up" She said running her fingers through my hair her voice soothing me.

"You excited?" I asked

"A little nervous actually, bless the contestants I've grown really close to them.. They're like me own"

"As if" I scoffed making her giggle and kiss my head a few times

"Course I only got me little bubba, I'm holding her in me arms" she said cuteley giving my cheek a few strokes

"Mam.. What do you think I should do with my future?" I asked, she didn't answer for awhile so I looked up seeing her deep in thought

"Mam?"

"Yeah.. Sorry, what?" She asked snapping out of her daze

"I asked you what you think I should do for my future" I asked again

"Why are you asking about that now, you're still little Julie" she said suddenly getting defensive

"Mam.. I graduate next year" I laughed lightly at her sudden change of mood

"Will think about that when the time comes, can I just cuddle ya and watch some telly with you?" She whisper pulling me closer to her

"Yeah.. Yeah of course. I love you Mam"

"I love you more baby" she whispered against my temple giving it a few kisses. I couldn't help but wonder why she got so upset with me talking about my future. I get the feeling she was afraid that I was finally growing up.
