When Sora came back from the washroom, Reyhaan was nowhere to be found. She scanned the room but she couldn't find him. A worried knot formed between her brows. Just then someone tapped at her shoulders lightly.
"My lady! May I have this dance with you?", Reyhaan bowed and held out his hand out like a gentleman smiling when she looked at him in surprise.
The shock quickly dispersed and Sora chuckled! But next moment she worriedly spoke, "I know a little how-to dance but I have not danced till date! It will be a problem for you!"
Though Sora knew how to dance it had been years since she had danced with her female teacher. She had never danced at balls or events like this.
Reyhaan leaned and whispered near her ear, "Don't worry just follow my lead! We will do it slowly!" Reyhaan assured Sora confidently. Knowing he will be her first dance partner some bubbly feeling fluttered inside him.
'Wait! It is also my first dance! I never felt to ask someone before! She is my first!', Reyhaan thought and a faint smile appeared.
Nodding Sora slipped her hands into his. They made their way to the huge dance floor in the middle of the ballroom.
People made room for them, as they walked towards the middle of the dance floor. Reyhaan pulled her closer gently, her body stiffened first but then looking at him she close the gap as if they were made for each other and Reyhaan placed his left hand on her waist and palmed up his right hand for her hand!
Sora smiled and put her right hand softly on his shoulder while her left hand was on his right hand which was waiting to entangle. He engulfed her hand with his. His large hands were able to cover her long slender fingers completely. Her hands were looking delicate between his fingers. He moved his hand on her waist and pulled her towards him.
A wave of happy feelings surged through Sora's body as she looked up into his eyes and their gazes locked. Looking lovely in each other's eyes.
Everyone could not help but look again and again at the sensational couple who had become the center of attention. Unfazed by the eyes of everyone, Reyhaan continued to hold her, and pulling her towards him brought a lot of gasps from the ladies who were still dreaming of being there.
It had been seconds since Sora did not move and Reyhaan finally realized that something was wrong with the girl.
He raised a brow as he looked deep into her eyes as if asking what the matter was?
"I am nervous", Sora whispered.
"Continue to look at me and think of all the best things in your life and you would not be nervous anymore.", Reyhaan replied dotingly.
'Aaah! My prince is so considerate! He asked me to look at him! Wait, was he flirting with me? It was flirt right?', devil Sora chirped but asked Sora! Sora nodded to herself, 'Yah, it was flirt!' while angel Sora was already on cloud nine!
The rhythm of their bodies danced slowly to the music. Their bodies molded together, he could feel the beat of her heart, her soft breath on his jaw.
He twirled her around, dipping her as he leaned forward closer to her. Staring at the beauty in front of him Reyhaan's breathing became shallow and his heart suddenly felt heavy with this content feeling.
"You're so beautiful!" Reyhaan murmured suddenly. A soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
Suddenly, they heard loud clapping around them.
Sora noticed the music had already stopped and they also noticed there was a spotlight on them. It seemed time has passed too quickly while looking into each other's eyes!
While they were dancing, everyone had stopped to watch them in awe as they sway to the music. They could see how much the couple seem completely taken with each other.
His lips curved into a doting smile as he said, "I recall someone telling me just now that she does not know how to dance!"
"I am willing to learn if it is you! I...I mean if a dance partner is like you it is not that difficult it seems!", Sora corrected herself smiling sheepishly.
"Humm..", Reyhaan pursed his lips.
Sora thought something and spoke, "But really, you danced too good."
"Doesn't look that difficult," he countered.
Sora smiled, "It's just that I didn't expect it from you."
Reyhan looked at her questioningly, and she asked, "You never had a girlfriend, right?"
Sora was itching to know about this and she finally asked this.
"Hmm," he agreed.
"Never danced with any girl too?" she added, dancing in her mind.
"Hmm." he agreed again.
"See, that's why I was surprised," said Sora.
Once the dinner ended, Sora and Reyhaan said their goodbyes to their business acquaintance and left the venue without waiting for the party to end. Reyhaan walks beside her and still holds her hand while making their way out of the Hotel as if she will be lost!
Reyhaan then asked his chauffeur to come to the hotel's entrance to drop Sora home. When his chauffeur opens the car for the lady, Reyhaan instinctively puts his hand over her head to protect it while Sora sitting in the car. This gesture made her heart happy again and her heartbeats skipped!
