Chapter 7 - May I Have This Dance?

Nicky's POV:

Just looking at her I felt sick to my stomach but in a good way.

When I thought about her I feel like I'm going to go insane.

I cant keep my eyes off her every time I try to look away my eyes manage to drift slowly back to her.

She seems so in her zone.

I guess she cooks often because she has a whole playlists dedicated for what style of food she's making.

She twirled around and noticed my gaze on her ( oh shit ).

She didn't seem to mind she kept on dancing and tried to get me to dance with her.

The way her hips sway to the music

Looking into her ocean blue eyes

Her perfect caramel skin

Her laugh

Her smile

It was just her being natural

It was just her

Zara

"Cmon Harper I know your mother signed you guys up for dance lessons so let's see them" she said while grabbing my hands.

"Oh no not this type of dance" I said while backing away.

"Then take my phone put some music on and dance with me" she said while shoving her phone at me.

"Okay fine" I don't know why I give in as easily with her.

I played slow 1950's music "may I have this dance?" I asked while bowing.

"You may" she said while accepting it.

She wrapped her arms around my neck, I was shocked and first but then eased up.

I kept my arms in her mid back playing it safe I could feel her body tense up from the motion but then immediately eased up.

She arched her back leaning into the crook of my neck, still swaying to the music.

My hands slowly lowered finally resting on her lower waist.

She seemed unphased by the motion but kept swaying back and forth.

I finally gave in resting my head on top of hers. Still unphased I heard a click from a phone I look up and see my three older siblings all with phones in hand.

I mouthed *what are you doing?* but they all left.

I stopped the music and cleared my throat "we should get back to cooking" I said while averting my eyes from hers.

"Yea, we should" she turned around and started cutting at a slower, more sullen pace.

Dawn came into the kitchen perfect timing might I add. "So I'm ordering stuff to be delivered anything particular you want with your popcorn?"

"Reese peanut butter cups and some twizzlers" Zara said. Eyes not lifting from the cutting board

"Nicky?" Dawn asked

"Yes" I responded blankly. "What do you want or are you sharing with the other icky's" dawn said not glancing up from her phone.

"Tiny m&m's" I said while grabbing her phone. "Hey! What are you doing?" She exclaimed "adding it to the cart bimbo" I gave her phone back.

"Okay everything is ordered and one the way" she said. "Now let me help we're all starving". Dawn grabbed an apron.

"It's almost done chop these unions for the salad Nicky" Zara said while still averting her gaze from me.

The timer staring blaring. "Shit" I said as I cut my hand, startled from the blaring.

I heard her scream I turned around and saw Zara panting trying to get her breath under control that's when she saw me bleeding.

"Dawn clean up all of the countertops, wash everything, I'm going to clean Nicky up" she said her hand grabbing my other un injured hand.

"Bathroom?" She asked

"Up the stairs at the end of the hallway" I said while trying my best to apply pressure

When we entered the bathroom I sat on the side of the tub while she looked through the cabinets for all the supplies.

Once she got everything I jumped up onto the bathroom counter.

"This is going to hurt ready?" She asked while pouring the alcohol onto a gauze pad.
