It sounded nowhere near the mellow yet somewhat sleazy tune that his favourite jazz music would make, stirring a degree of fervour within Teddy. But that didn’t drive him away. In fact, as Teddy stood in front of the stage, he seemed to appreciate the melodic music that a Badlander played nearby whilst he looked upon a sight that he could only describe as breath-taking.
Graceful movements sent Tatiana travelling across the stage as she danced to the piano piece. She was so unassuming and gentle in nature, and yet her presence on the stage felt as if each movement demanded the utmost admiration from all those who laid their eyes upon her. She whirled around, so light on her feet, as she danced with a practiced ease. Foot forward. Back. An elegant, perfected twirl. Teddy’s eyes followed as he casually smoked a cigarette. A silent look of admiration lingered in his gaze — Teddy was proud.
This beautiful dancer was his.
Not an official declaration — dare Teddy ever claim to commit to anyone ever — but he enjoyed the times that he could freely spend in her company. She seemed to like him a lot, or she at least made him assume that was fact, and in return he felt confident in being able to support her and share a romance so casually enjoyable that it fit perfectly with Teddy’s expectations. No strings attached, but an opportunity to fulfil needs without having to search too far. She made him feel content and she treated him well.
Some would say that Teddy would move from one woman to the next so quickly, simply because he could. But this one seemed to stick. Teddy would claim it was solely because she hadn’t given him reason to cut off ties yet, but usually at this point he would have grown bored and have moved on. Not this time. This time, she was less another notch on his bedpost and more a lingering thought whenever he was not with her. He had never given a woman any second thought whilst they were not near but, with Tatiana, she was a lasting thought.
He enjoyed spoiling her with lavish gifts whenever he could, and it drove him mad when she would try to decline with a humble laugh. Teddy had to resort to begging Juliette to give Tatiana the gift on Teddy’s behalf because perhaps she’d more openly accept the gift if it was from a friend rather than a lover. Teddy was undoubtedly a biased man who’d only give back to the people that he benefited from, and that much was clear in the way he would encourage the best from Tatiana when she would perform at casino nights, providing all that she may need to give the best performance that she could offer.
Maybe this was just another woman that Teddy would enjoy for the time being until he’d inevitably grow bored, but maybe this was more. Maybe he liked her a little more than he was willing to admit. As far as anyone else was aware — in Teddy’s humble opinion — she was no more than his sweet exemplar of the perfect casino performer.
Stubbing out his cigarette in a nearby ashtray, the quiet casino echoed with a singular clap of the hands as Teddy applauded Tatiana when her performance came to an end, slowly wandering over once she hopped off the stage towards him. ❝ Mais! Ya poise and finesse never fails to amaze me. ❞ He admired as he snaked an arm around her waist, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear before he grinned. ❝ Absolutely beautiful. No wonder ya such a beloved dancer at events. ❞ With all the public displays of affection that he was so invested in, he nearly forgot to take notice of the fact that the next act had not yet stood up to begin their dress rehearsal.
❝ Who’s next?! ❞ He exclaimed, waving his free hand towards the stage whilst his other hand rested on the small of Tatiana’s back. ❝ Y’all ain’t taking part in tonight’s party if ya haven’t practiced beforehand! Y’all know dis. ❞ He warned. After all, Teddy wanted his performers to put on the most perfect of performances. They were the entertainment that wowed the guests after all.
