Oh my God, I was staring at that for too long!
My cheeks were flushed, and I quickly turned my head in shame.
He smiles and says, "It's okay, babe, I'm quite the catch.".
You are true. I quickly exclaimed, "Your ego is getting bigger than your head once more."
However, you like it. He gave me one of his well-known grins, which make girls fall in love with him.
Yes, I do... Damn it, Alex! Break free!
Before he could finish, I interrupted him with, "Stop denying how attracted you are also-"
"See you around, I'm going to find John.
Just as I was about leaving, I turn around and spoke again.
"Not at all. Furthermore, perhaps you ought to quit denying how drawn in you are to me," I continued giving him a wink.
Exactly what was that? That sounded like a comeback from a third-grader.
In my tight black dress, I purposefully walked away swinging my hips side to side; merely to mock him. Every time I moved, my heels were clicking. I turned around to see him gazing at my buttocks. After that, he raised his head and made eye contact with me. I just smiled at him because he knew I had caught him looking at me.
When I finally see John, I quickly walk up to him and say, "Hey again," as I approach him.
"Hey again, pretty," He retracted his gaze to where I had come from. James is still standing in the same spot I left him in when I turn around to see him with a grin on his face.Again.After that, he made a U-turn and went to stand just a few feet away from his parents.
John gave me a second look.
"Was James giving you a hard time, because I can pound his face?"
I put my hand on his mouth to silence him.
"Say you won't say anything after I take your hand off?"With a puppy face, I asked.
"Promise."As he felt his hot breath on the inside of my hand, he mumbled.
I took my hand off and wiped it off of my dress. His breath made it feel wet.
I respond in an irritated tone, "No, he didn't do anything; he's just so cocky."
---- Two hours later, I was at the table with my parents enjoying this bizarre dessert that exceeded my expectations. I also ate everything on my parents' plates. I got a weird look from my mom.
After the food was served. My parents went up to the dance floor with everyone else and started slow dancing.
It was the final one of the evening.
Like a hawk watching its prey, I observed James as he approached my table.
He gestures to me and asks, "Would you give me the honor to have this last dance?"
"Oh, so you're acting like a gentleman now?"With a raised eyebrow, I inquired.
I try to imitate James by saying, "What happened to 'oh I'm mister perfect with an ego bigger than King Kong's dick'?" in a much deeper voice.
He retracted his arm.
"Well, Alex, you don't know a lot about me," He says it harshly. The sudden manner in which he uttered that phrase caused me to recline in my chair. He immediately apologizes and acknowledges my discomfort.
"Alex, I'm sorry for how I spoke to you. That won't ever occur from this point forward."
What did he mean when he said i didn't know anything about him? I quietly replied.
"I guess it's fine."i mumble.
"Let's try this again, would you like to dance with me?" he said as he extended his arm once more.
Don't dance with him; say no..
"Sure," I say. I put my hand in his, as he pulled me up from the seat. His hand is on my lower back as we approach.
I turned to face him as we approached the center of the dance floor, and he did the same.
He finally placed his hands on my hips after we awkwardly stared at each other. I hesitated as I wrapped my arms around his neck after feeling the warmth of his hands.
He pulled me closer once I did. I gasped because I hadn't anticipated that.
He grinned, not sneered however grinned. I don't know if this was the first time I saw him smile. It was lovely.
Is there something I missed? It appears that I did. I'm aware that I was forgetting something, but I can't recall it. After that, I didn't give it much more thought.
James was now gazing intently into my eyes. I felt awkward, so I turned away.
When I look at you, why do you always look away? He asked with a playful tone.
I returned my gaze to him.
I jokingly say, "Happy."
He lowered his face just below my ear at the side of my neck.
"You're a lovely, tiny flower."He murmured in my ear. I gave him a look of confusion.
"Alex."
I turned my face toward the path that I heard my name from.
John..
