As they walked towards the community center where the foosball arena was present, Akira said to Mike,

"Hey, it's been long that we took a walk. Shall we cover that area?"

"Ok, you have a free pass today. I will do anything that you wish. But just for today ok. The pass will expire today midnight."

"Careful what you say there mister, you never know what I can ask for."

"Oh, please Akira, now you are getting on my nerves", saying that Mike started walking towards the other lane which was pointed by Akira.

As they reached the second lane, Akira suddenly stopped near a signboard that said,

"ANTILLA - LET THE TANGO PARTY BEGIN?"

A smile spread of her face the moment she saw the signboard. She looked at Mike with her face all beaming with excitement. She extended her hand and dragged Mike towards the dance center, by grabbing on to his arms. As they walked towards the center, Mike retorted,

"Why are we going there?"

"Because I wanna learn the tango, Mike. Let's check the rates at that center."

"Wait, what? But why all of a sudden? And didn't mom teach you a hell lot of dancing?"

"Mom taught me classical dance and some salsa moves, but here I want to learn the Tango."

Seriously what has happened to you. You go to London and then bam, you are completely a changed person right now. What did that place do to my sister."

"Oh please !!! Just shut up", Akira said and pushed him towards the pavement and then went inside the center along with him.

"Hi there !!!"

"Hello ma'am, Hello Sir, How can I help you."

"She is the one who needs help, not me", Mike said sarcastically and made himself stand a foot away from her.

"The receptionist laughed and said,

"Well, then how can I help you, ma'am?"

"I want to start taking Tango lessons. I am a beginner with no experience in this dance form. So can you tell me about the timings and the rates of the classes to suit me?"

"Well, we have two new batches starting up from tomorrow for beginners, so maybe you can join them."

"Oh, great, who is teaching and can you tell me about the batch strength and the rates?"

"Well one batch will be from the evening from 6 pm to 7 pm and the other will be from 7 pm to 8 pm. The 6 pm slot will be taken by our existing instructor Althea", saying that the receptionist pointed at a poster.

"That's her. She has been with us for the last 2 years and has pretty good reviews. If you want you can join a demo class of hers for free."

"Umm... ok sure. What about the 7 pm slot?"

"Well, we have a new instructor coming up for this batch. Mr. Maverick and he is going to take the 7 pm lesson. He is new but he is good. He had sent us his demo videos and he was pretty good with his dance skills."

Akira just heard the name Maverik and that was enough for her to be convinced. She didn't need any further explanations. She didn't need any more seasoning. She blurted the very next minute,

"I am in for the 7 pm slot."

"Umm... Ok !!!", replied the receptionist.

To be honest, she was a bit surprised as she thought that she might have to pitch fro Mr. Maverick properly as he was a new instructor, but not even one statement was required fro convincing her to join the batch, which was quite unnatural.

But anyways, her work was done, so she didn't ponder much about it.

"Please fill up this form and check the rates in this rate card", saying that she handed over the form and card to Akira.

Taking a pen from the receptionist's desk, Akira filled the form.

NAME - Allie Hamilton

.

.

She knew it well that she had to hide her identity. She knew it well that she had to wipe out any possible trace that could connect her with Raymond.

"Allie Hamilton, as in the notebook movie girl."

"Yeah, just like her."

Mike stood there all surprised, unable to understand the notebook movie reference. But Akira continued to ignore him and got all the paperwork done.

Then she paid 75 USD as advance money and left along with Mike. As she walked out of the dance center, she had a big grin on her face. Her heart was dying with excitement and anticipation.

She was longing for his touch. She wanted him to warm her bare skin with his breath, titillate her in every possible way with his sensuous touch. The thought itself was so steamy in her head that she started biting her lips.

"Akira !!! Akira !!!", Where are you lost?"

"Huh !!!"

"The play arena is this way. Where are you going?", said Mike and pulled his sister toward the play arena.
