We shared stories and stuff this and that, laughing our soul out and just having a great time. At pass 10 we'd recognize the tantalizing melody coming from the strum of a guitar.
"It's time!" Tanya giggled excitedly. One by one their partners gave them the gesture of invitation to the dance floor.
Aljen was the last to stand up, before she reached to his man "I'm starting to get guilty here"
Giving her the eye roll of as if "Used to it" I simply said and they went.
There I was, An empty piece of a shell
Just minding my own world, without even knowing.
What love and life were all about and you came. You brought me out of the shell you gave the world to me. And before I knew. There I was, so in love with you.
Seeing my friends being genuinely happy with their partners make my heart pleased. I don't know if I'll be able to feel something again after my traumatizing past. I'm not a stone cold heart, might have just forgot how things like it worked. No one knows what tomorrow brings so I'm just gonna live to the fullest, I guess.
"Why is a gorgeous woman seating alone in the table while everyone's gone clingy in that dance floor" the manly voice making me gasp.
"And you aren't in the dance floor as well" I boast at him.
"Well if you allow me to do the honor of having you, I'll be there" Ave sounded so confident.
I've never been ask for a dance but if this count as living life to the fullest, maybe i should try.
"I'll be delighted" giving him the satisfaction he's trying to hide.
As we mixed with the crowd, we stood and I was awkward. He's giving me a "what?" look.
"Confession. I have no idea how this whole dancing thing work aside from one" I pause "I'm fully aware that I'm suppose to wrap my hand around your neck like everyone does, the problem is I'm 5'1 and your-
"6'3. You worry your arms would go numb?" He said undertone.
"Exactly!" Nodding at him.
Slowly He grabbed my right hand making my arms wrap is waist and took my left hand to enclose them with his right hand and place his free hand on my back.
"How's that?" He breath near my ears that makes me shiver.
"Brilliant!" I look up meeting his eyes. I can smell a vastly man scent.
Swaying with this sweet melody of the iconic singer singing their master piece.
You taught me how to love
You showed me how tomorrow and today
My love, is different from the yesterday
I knew, you taught me to love
And darlin' I will always cherish you
Today, tomorrow and forever...
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began, When I met you.
"When I listen or hear music, I had to analyze what it means." Ave murmured out of nowhere "This one is about how the person changed his being in a snap when he met this other person"
"In a nice way. Maybe love at sight, If there's such. I mean can people really fell in love at first sight?" wanting a debate with him while we dance slowly, my temple resting on his chest.
"That's what happened to me and my wife" he uttered, taking my hand off him. I didn't wanna ruin something even if we were just dancing its just not right. "I didn't mean-
