"I still can't believe you got me to dance," I laughed as we walked back up the stairs to discover it was now empty. How long were they gone for? Pulling my phone from my pocket, the time said that we had been gone a total of two hours. Dancing had left us parched, so we ended up in the kitchen, where we spent the rest of that time talking.
Oops.

No one had ever made me laugh so much in my life, and Vic's stories were captivating. He'd been through so many fun times where up until this point I had been stuck in the house I grew up in. Sure, there were some good times like when I was young mom, Jenna, and I would bake cookies while my father wasn't home, and we'd eat all of them before he came back from work. We used to play with puppets and put on a show since we weren't allowed to watch the TV until my father came home, or the few times she managed to take us to the park. All of those were glimpses into a life I never thought was possible. I had to admit, I was envious of Vic for living a life I had always wanted. The covetous feeling was a reminder that my life was now heading in a brighter path. Even though I don't know Vic very well, something tells me Vic will be one of the people to light my way.

Everyone must've left to do their own activities again. Left alone with Vic yet again. I bit back the happiness that was about to brighten my features.
"How am I gonna meet a cute boy like you and not wanna at least ask you to dance?" I'm cute to him? My body is becoming a puddle. I'm the ice cream melting under the heat of his sun. Vic's hand found mine again pulling me toward him as his other arm found its way around my back, pulling our chests close together as he led us in another brief dance. Even though we couldn't contain our bits of laughter, the air still managed to become thick around us.
"Oh? I'm cute?" I questioned, and he playfully looked at me as if I said something terrible. "Yes, Kellin, you are cute. Very much so," his words quieted as he spoke, his beautiful deep eyes burrowing into my own. The tension constricted my ability to breathe and no matter how many breaths I managed to take it wasn't enough.
It almost kept me from speaking the words that were on the tip of my tongue, "Thank you, I think you're cute too. You've made tonight really fun." Of course, my usual shyness had to make an appearance in my words.
"You have made mine fun too. I was expecting it to be a regular night, but I've been proven wrong." A beautiful toothy smile brightened his face. Goodness, that smile makes me feel like Cupid has shot me with one of his arrows.

Was Vic flirting with me right now, or am I misinterpreting his words? The way he's holding me is telling me that I'm not.
Vic pulled away, still holding my hand as he led us over to the couch. The warmth from his hand couldn't replace the fire his closeness brought my body, and I yearned for his arms around me like they were on the dance floor.
"I could notice some eyes on us while we were dancing," I mentioned, reminding myself of that kid I saw earlier that seemed furious. What does that guy have to be mad at Vic for? I hope he wasn't his boyfriend, that would make me feel horrible.
"Ah yeah... I guess I could admit that for some reason, everyone's super interested in what I've got going on with my life. It gets aggravating a lot of the time, especially when drama is spread like wildfires."
"Is it so bad to a point where some people get mad over it...? Earlier, I thought I saw someone getting upset for some reason." A puzzled look drew his eyebrows in as he tilted his head, his eyes drawing to the ceiling. I was just curious, I hope I'm not corroding a boundary.
A look of realization crossed his features before he spoke. "You must've seen my ex. He's the one that broke up with me but, it's hard for him to let me go. I honestly think that he wanted me to come crawling back and when that didn't happen he got upset with me. I try my hardest to avoid him, so I just hope he gets over it."
I nodded in understanding. I guess I could see why he was upset now, but they were broken up. I had no real reason to care much.
