"I thought I said that I was ok with you going?" Annabeth asked when Antonio turned back to her. "The lady wanted to dance with you."
"But I didn't want to dance with her," Antonio replied with a nervous smile, "I wanted to dance with you." His hold on her hand tightened a little as they locked eyes.
"Oh…" Annabeth muttered. She tried to hide it at first, forcing down the emotion but in the end gave in. Her lips arched up a little as a little smile formed on her face. "Is that so…"
"Yea…" Antonio replied, "it would be rude of me to leave someone I want to dance with simply because another person asked. I was the one who asked to dance afterall."
Annabeth chuckled, her eyes brightening up as they looked into Antonio's bright light-brown eyes. "Right… you were."
