Kismet

Part 18- Austin- the savior

Justin was not keen to watch them dancing together, he was rather frustrated. His frustration was distributed when Selena asked him out for a dance. His annoyance reduced during each step they took, but his eyes were set on Melissa.

By chance, the couples had to alter their partners after every turn; luckily either unluckily Melissa was coupled with Justin.

He gripped her by the waist tight when she tried to walk away; Melissa tried to struggle insisting him to take off his hand. "This is just a dance..." he whispered slowly to her ear.

She did not have direct eye contact with him during their dance; meanwhile Justin had his honey colored eyes set on hers.

He stared at her beauty, her elegance and felt her nervousness for she was enthused dancing with him. Each step they took, Justin's breath mingled with Melissa's and he immensely felt her heart pounding against his chest.

"You're a good dancer!"

She remained silent.

Justin's fabulous mood turned pale when the conversation commenced.

"You just denied my request for a dance, but accepted his'... didn't you?"

"It's my decision!"

"But there's to be a reason... Lemme guess..."

Justin irritates her again,

"Guess you've been crushing on him for these few seconds eh!"

Melissa flew in rage and protests against his ill-mannerism.

"Why do you bother?"

He stammers, and flatters, "I- I wanted to know since it's my party!"

"I've no such intention for anyone & I accepted his request because it'd have been a disgrace if I denied in front of all,"she adds "and... during that moment, it was only you and me- All alone! It's you who told me to be strong and show off your talents and now you just- Pathetic!"

She finished the dance, and moved away leaving Justin unthinkable of the answer for the question: "Why do you bother?" She left saying that it is better to dance with a person who is unlike him; which Justin completely felt tempered.

The youngsters enjoyed the enthusiasm till the penultimate level, breaking the dance floor; meanwhile Melissa joined to dine and underwent a public criticism.

Popular models and close friends of Justin encountered her, seen her alone by herself. "Here grab a drink?" Said Kendall, as she lend forward a glass of Brandy.

"No, but thanks. I don't drink..." denied Melissa.

"Who are you of Justin?" Hailey puts forward the question.

Melissa paused dining, thought for a second and stammered: "A- A friend!"

Selena's absence pressurized her a lot along with those jealousy girls; she was absolutely similar to a new comer at a college or worst than that.
