Sharna was thrilled, Derek was already showing amazing progress. They had a fun connection and have been getting along great. Season 25 was already so much better then the last. Sharna and Derek had just finished a eight hour rehearsal and instead of going home she decided to go see if he was finished yet, because the idea of spending the night alone was not appealing.
As she walked down the hall to his rehearsal space she could feel her muscles aching, all she really wanted to do, was go home and take a nice hot bath, but she didn't want to do it alone. When she got to the room she quietly opened the door as to not disturb them. In the middle of the room, Artem and Nikki where still working, so Sharna went an sat in the corner by his bag. Artem saw her in the mirror and couldn't help but smile. He knew she was probably tired, so was he, but it made him happy to know she wanted to wait for him. They only had one more thing to run through for the night so Artem knew he could have Sharna to himself in just a bit.
Sharna watched as they finished the last part of the dance and couldn't help but flinch when she watched Nikki flip her boyfriend over herself and to the ground. The thud he made when he landed was enough to make her stomach tie in to knots. When he stood up, he smiled then hugged his partner goodbye while telling her what time to meet tomorrow.
Artem smile got bigger after turning towards Sharna. As he walked over to her she put her hand out for him to help her up, when he grabbed her hand, he intertwined his fingers with hers and bent down to pick up his bag. As he did that he noticed how cold her hand was so he pulled his sweatshirt out of his bag and handed it to her, she smiled at him and let go of his hand to put it on. Once it was on she grabbed his hand back and they started walking to the door. On the way to his Ā car, Sharna rested her head on his chest which made Artem tighten his grip on her hand.
"Should we get food on the way or order in?" Artem knew neither of them would feel up to cooking, they never are after the first few rehearsals of the season, too many long hours.
"I think order in. I just want to get home, shower and curl up with you." Artem kissed her on the head and murmured okay before stepping away from her to open her door. She kissed his cheek before sliding in.
The whole ride back to Sharna's home was spent in a comfortable silence. The only noise that could be heard was the quite hum of the engine mixed with the soft tones from the radio. They held hands the whole ride, and Artem had a steady rhythm going as he rubbed his thumb across her skin. The two hadn't been together long, having gotten together on the summer tour after months of filtering and getting closer. But in the time they spent together since tour ended they have gotten in to a nice routine. They would spend most nights together, usually at her place since she was still trying to settle in, they would either spend the night cooking together since they both enjoyed the time in the kitchen, or they would order in, cuddle on the couch watching mindless tv, or helping each other with the dances they had to prepare. Then in the morning they would take whatever car took them home the night before, which meant that one of their cars where always left at the studio, just in case one finished early and the other didn't want or couldn't wait, which didn't happen often.
When the couple got home, after loving her puppies, and ordering some food from their favorite Thai place a few streets away, they both got in to the hot bath Sharna had started while he ordered. They spent a good 20 minutes in the hot water, letting it soothe the aching in their muscles, while they talked about everything the could think about. By the time they got out they only had to wait minutes before the door bell rang. Once Artem got the food they both curled up on the couch while watching the episode of their favorite show that had to be recorded the night before.
A few hours later, once the food had been consumed, and they got caught up on missed tv, the two stumbled into the bedroom where they immediately slipped in to bed. Once they where both lying down, Artem put his arm out behind Sharna head and she curled in to his chest, putting her head on his chest. As he tightened his grip on his girlfriend, they both relished in the feeling of holding each other, they both knew this could be it, they could live together like this forever and never get tired of it.
