The Unpredictable

Chapter 3

It was quiet for a while between me and Adam, just standing in silence. I didn't even tell him about the mysterious guy that I have spoken with earlier, it wasn't that important after all. Time surely passed pretty fast while standing beside him; I did feel something that I wasn't sure what it is. Maybe safe? or maybe nervous? IDK.

It was about 8 pm. Everything was entirely soundless but the relaxing music playing in the place. There was an old man who was playing the piano, I wasn't sure what music he was playing, but it is surely relaxing that sends you to another planet.

Me and Adam were observing our surroundings, who is there and with whom they were speaking with? It was a bit difficult to recognize people faces but we tried our best to identify those who we are looking for.

"You see that guy standing over there?" Adam broke the silence. He was speaking in a hushed voice so no one can hear him.

"...Yep," I said. trying to focus on which specific guy was he is speaking about. "Which one exactly?" trying not to sound dumb.

A small smile formed on his face, "The guy with the big furry hat" he explained.

"Oh, yes. The guy who is wearing the blue suit?" I said, trying not to laugh at the person. Who would wear a blue suit with a big furry black hat?! Whatever.

"Yes, young lady. Him!"

"What about him?" I spoke.

"He is our first target tomorrow; we will meet him in the bar that you have probably heard about."

"Oh yes, they have introduced him to me." So, he is the guy who works with the mafia, all I heard about him that he plans for everything and anything. He is kind of mysterious but, we found out that he was associated with the bombing of the New York train station last year.

We were able to know that because of cameras that probably he and the people he works with didn't pay attention to it.

"Are you ready to start?"

"Tomorrow, right?" I spoke. I was wondering if we were supposed to do anything today.

"Yes," He smiled. "I was just trying to make you excited, that's all."

Before I could say anything else, one of my favorite songs started playing on the speaker. I Didn't even realize that the piano guy finished playing. The song was 'Sway' by Michael Bublé. Who doesn't know or even love this song? Suddenly Adam opened his palm in front of me.

"Would you like to dance?" He said waiting for me to respond. I think I did take a long time to answer, though it was just a second.

"It would be rude if I turn you down, so of course," I said. I was nervous because I didn't know how to dance, they should have taught me how to dance instead of using a gun. On our way to the dance floor, I wasn't sure if I should tell him that I don't know how to dance, will he laugh?

He puts one hand on my waist, and the other was holding my hand. I also followed and put my other hand on his shoulder. I wasn't making any eye contact with him, I forced myself to look at other things surrounding me. I felt every eye in the crowd was looking at us, nobody else was on the dance floor.

"Are we supposed to have everyone's eyes on us?" I said locking my eyes on the ground.

"Don't worry about other people, they wouldn't know who we are. Just have fun, maybe for the first and last time?!" He spoke. I can feel his face is looking down at me, his eyes waiting for mine to look up and forget the crowd.

My dress made everything more impossible to move. It was touching the ground down to Adam's shoes. I wasn't sure what my legs were doing anymore, just following Adam's body movement.

"You know I have never danced with another person before." I finally spoke, and at this moment, I looked up to see Adam's reaction. I was right; his face was looking down at me, or maybe he just did, or perhaps it was looking at me this whole time. I don't know anymore.

"Then this is my pleasure to be the first person you dance with." His smile was very friendly and beautiful. Not going to lie, he did look extremely attractive when he smiled.

I can feel my heart beating faster, my face burning and turning the brightest red you have ever seen in your life. I lower my face back down focusing on the tips of my dress once again. I was praying for the song to end faster because I felt my hands sweat; hopefully, he doesn't notice any of this. Why was it taking such a long time for the damn song to end?

At a moment, I thought that Adam was going to let go of my hands as he was walking inches away from me. Thus I realized that he was trying to spin me. trying to prevent me from falling and tripping on my dress, I held one side of my dress tighter, and he spun me around. When I came back to my normal positions, we continued dancing. This time I was closer to his chest.

"Don't be scared young lady," he said.

I wasn't sure what he meant, as the song ended everyone in the crowd was clapping and cheering. We both walked back to our table.

It was the time for us to leave, our drivers were waiting for us to enter the cars. Before I get in my car, Adam takes my hand and whispers something to me.

"Thank you for the dance, though do not let anyone know about that." He winked and walked away. I wonder why he doesn't want me to tell anyone. Was I a bad dancer or what?

The guy in the red suit aka Adam was surely mysterious, and I can't quite understand the way he's thinking. Though, I am sure that it will be a fun time working with him.
