When I tryna fall back I fall back to you
When I talk to my friends I talk about you
When the Hennessey is strong all I see is you
Is you, is you , is you




Now I'm all alone. I walk through the moving bodies to go sit on the bench. Before reaching my destination I bump into a hard chest. "You should watch where you going" I look up to meet Vallys dark eyes looking down at me. His so freaking tall you'd swear he grows taller everyday.

"Sorry" I apologise but still not move. I'm trying to move but my feet are glued to the ground. "Where you off to?" He asks then looks around.

"Without your pet?" He finishes off and I feel embarrassed by him asking.

"He left. Where's your dance partner?" I ask curiously and change the topic. I never saw him with a girl here which might mean he didn't bring his girl with him and I'm grateful. "I don't recall having a dance partner" he looks me straight in the eyes.

"So you on the dance floor alone makes sense" I shake my head and we both laugh a little. We stand in silence for a few minutes until. "You wanna.. uhmm.. dance. It's okay if you tired or don't want to" he clears his throat and raises his eyebrows. I smile at his nervousness and take his hand.

We move through until we find a perfect spot for ourselves. He does the same as Kevin but this time I shiver when his hand touches me. My fingers are so itchy to touch his hair but I need to behave right. "You good at this" he comments after stepping on my feet and cursing every time which makes me blush.

"You joking right" I don't want him to feel bad about his very bad dancing skills. Maybe that's why he doesn't have a dance partner. I wonder if he ever went for a prom cause that's where you learn alot.

"This is the second time I find you dancing and it's really good" he whispers in my ear.

"You actually dance WAY better then me I've seen it" I reply but wish to take those words back cause I just exposed myself.

"So you mysterious 101" he smirks.

"I'm.." I won't answer that. I remember the day he was fixing the pipe and told me I'm going to be obsessed with him now he must be feeling the satisfaction of being right.

My fingers keep on moving going higher and higher. I just want to touch his hair. "Stalker kind I see" he speaks slowly against my ear in a husky voice. Gosh I feel wet. He has got a spell under his touch that can get me begging.

"No, I thought you..posted me dancing" I manage to speak.

"But if it was just 'checking' why are you then following me and liking my posts?" He asks again brushing his nose slightly over my ear. I am out of answers really. I don't know whether it's my brain stopped working or I am just not on planet earth. "So far two signs of stalking. Brit" he says in a sexy voice.

There goes that nickname again. I close my eyes and take deep breaths. His teasing me and I am already trapped. The next song is start of something right by Raon Lee and we dance to it's slow rhythm. When the chorus starts he takes one of my hand and I twirl while he smiles and watches me enjoy.

"Yayy. This feels so right" I say while twirling around and he just laughs a little.

We go back to how we were and enjoy the lyrics and beat. The song finishes and I have my hands on his chest while he puts his hands on my lower back. We stand like that looking into each other's eyes. I take this chance to do what I've always wanted to do and that is put my fingers in his hair.

He closes his eyes when my hands reach his skull. He enjoys it when I do that. I guess I found one of his weakness. At least now there is something I can get him with.

"Never let me go" he mumbles to himself.

"I promise" I say and mean it. Even though his not mine yet I have no plan of letting him go. And now that he asked he gives me even more reason to never.

Someone clears they throat and we let go off each other. "What's going on here?" Mike asks with a smile on his face.

"Nothing" we both say in unison. I put my hands on my arms as it's getting dark and colder. "Even a blind man can see the sparks" Mike says the sparks while pointing between us. He is right we have a spark that ignite each time we together.

"She's my Fucking neighbor" Vally says not looking at me and putting his hands in his pockets. I don't feel anything by what he just said cause I know his bluffing. "If you say so. Baby we have to go it's really urgent" Mike tells Vally. Everyone seems to be leaving me as they have some urgent things to deal with. This evening is just not meant for me.

"Okay, I'll be there" Vally tells Mike but doesn't move. Mike walks over to Lorraine and it's just us again.

The crowds got lighter as some of the guests have left. "Thanks for the dance" Vally speaks while scratching the back of his head.

"Its okay. I enjoyed it" I reply with a smile. I actually did enjoy dancing for the first time ever since moving here.

"You did.. I mean after how I"

"Its okay" I laugh a little and he lightens up.

"You look beautiful by the way" he says causing me to blush. This is the first time he has ever complimented me. I feel my heart melt by his words. I have heard that so many times today but it sounds extra special coming from him.

"You don't look bad yourself" I tell him and look at him. I was really expecting to see him in suit and tie. Maybe Kevin's dress code has got me to a point where I expect everyone to be in that. But he actually looks very handsome in any attire so far.

"Okay. Well then goodnight"
"Goodnight" he turns to go when he bumps into a chair. He turns around with pink cheeks giving me one last look and finally disappears.

"You've been standing and smiling for the past minute. Who made you so happy?" Natalie comes and stands in front of me. I shake my head and look at her. "Nobody. I just had a great party" I tell her. She looks at me and inspects my face.

"Honey come" Alex calls her from the other corner of the garden. She just looks at me and leaves. I know this isn't over but I'll deal with it later.

So much happiness in me as I sit down and smile. I feel like I'm about to explode with all this happiness so I take my phone and dial Kristen. She also came but we never did get a chance to speak as I was occupied. I laugh at my dirty thoughts and wait for her reply.

After the fourth ring she answers. "Hi girl. Wassup?" With the hugest smile I shout on the phone.

"I have alot to tell you"
