Dance with me

Chapter Fifteen - Lies, plans and partnerships

Chapter 15

I was in the shower wondering how a day could be so full of surprises. First, Gabriel doesn't appear and says he won't be here for a week. After that, to make me more confused Noah acts like we were teenagers again deciding to talk about past. And then he can dance. D-a-n-c-e! I was still shocked by his performance.

When he told me he learned some moves I thought he learned how to slow dance or something like that but I would never think he could really dance.

I shouldn't be that surprised, though. With his carreer and all the superstar thing, it was kind of natural for him to have to learn how to dance.

'What am I thinking?' I told myself. Instead of being worried with what he said about being sorry I was thinking about his dance moves!

"Don't fall for it, Anntonella!" I said to myself. I truly wanted to get over the past and be fine with Noah being around without getting too close to him again. Because I knew that he was different. We both were. And nothing told me he wouldn't hurt me again.

Still, I told him we were there again and that was all that mattered... I really shouldnt have said that.

The look in his eyes and the feeling of his hand on my knee. Just the memory made me shiver and I realized I was still in the shower.

I decided what I had to do. I would keep Noah away for some time and see how it would work being far from him after the 'apologising' situation... Then I would figure the rest out.

"Why took you so long?" Mila was waiting me in the living room for whatever reason.

"I had to wash my hair." I lied. I didn't want her to know I was thinking about my old best friend.

"Okay." She ignored the answer and I could say she was very giddy about something. "He asked me to meet his parents!" Oh, that was the reason.

"You say 'he' as your boyfriend Jake?" I asked just to make sure and she nodded at me jumping on the couch. "And why the freak out session?" That was supposed to be a good thing he asked, right?

"Do you know how important his familly is to him?" Mila asked as if I was stupid.

"Very important, I suppose..." I tried.

"He goes to their house EVERY weekend and always talk about them!" I still didn't quite understand the reaction.

"May I ask why you're going all crazy about it?" I asked afraid of being murdered.

"Jillian, that girl who fell from stage last year is his ex girlfriend and Brianna told me he never took her there in 5 months of relationship..." Mila said as if everything was perfectly cleared.

"So..." I encouraged her to go on.

"So I matter to him. Like he likes me enough to present me to his parents. He may even be close to say the L word!" My friend said with a grin with the size of a planet.

"The L word? We're still in high school, I see..." I told her. Was that the reason for all that scene?

"Don't laugh. I'm just nervous..." She said calming down a bit.

"Dou you... You know... Like him that much?" I suck in this kind of conversation. What should i say, 'run as fast as you can'?

"I think I do..." She said. "Oh, what the hell, I'm sure I do." Then she corrected herself.

Yeah my friend, you're in love. It wasn't that hard to realize.

"Then you two should be fine." I assured her and went to my room to rest.
