Chapter thirteen: May I Have This Dance?

"Alright, remember what we talk about okay? Be confident, be proud, and don't let anything ruin any of that for you." Robert said as he poked Phoebe's forehead causing her to laugh.

"Love you, Dad, love you Mom," Phoebe said as she got out of the car "Love you too, and don't drink any of the punch," Jennifer said as Phoebe jokingly rolled her eyes and walked into the gym.

She was wearing a simple black and white dress and her hair is curled- makeup minimal.

"Hey" she heard a familiar voice behind her causing the girl to turn and see Max standing there.

"Cute sweater" Phoebe smiled seeing Max's festive sweater paired with a pair of dress pants

"Cute dress," Max said back at Phoebe smiled "May I have this dance?" Maxine asks, putting out her arm for Phoebe to take. Phoebe smiled and took it. Max put her arms around Phoebe's shoulders as Phoebe put hers on Max's waist, and they slowly started to dance.

"This is nice," Phoebe smiles as she looked around the large area, "How was your night before I arrived?"

"Uneventful," Max said, "but now you're here, I'm so much happier."

Phoebe smiled and her face lit up with an idea "I have an idea, come on" Phoebe took Max's hand and hauled her out of the gym. "Where are we going?" Max asks, following her.

Phoebe takes her around the corner, unaware of Hopper and Joyce smoking a cigarette and watching them. Steve was in the parking lot too, and he saw Phoebe there and smiled. Smiled through the concern that she was probably going to get a cold, that is.

"If you dance I'll dance," Phoebe sang softly, taking Max's hand and doing a little twirl that made Max laugh lightly. "And if you don't I'll dance anyways" They continued to dance stupidly until Phoebe ended the song.

"Where did you learn that song?" Max asked she's never heard that song before "I don't know, it just seemed...familiar?" Phoebe was unsure of her answer not knowing how or why she knew that song, it felt strange it was like she knew the song by heart.

"Let's ditch this ball thing," Phoebe says to Max, "be alone, no judging eyes or anything."

"Where do you suggest?" Max asks.

"Mine?" Phoebe asks, "Steve's staring at us right now, my parents are out on their date night. I have Vinyls."

"Sounds perfect," Max smiles, hooking her arm around Phoebe's waist and walking to Steve's car.

They were now in Phoebe's room. Phoebe was looking through her drawers and drawers of Vinyls for one specific one as Max looked around her room.

"You finished it," Max comments seeing her drawing up on the wall as Phoebe goes through the second drawer of Vinyls.

"Uhh yeah, I hope you like it," Phoebe said with a little chuckle. "I love it..." Max trails off.

"Found it!" She whispers to herself as she gets out the vinyl she was looking for. She puts it on, puts the needle in the correct spot, and starts the vinyl.

"I Could Fall In Love"

"Selena, huh?" Max asks as Phoebe stands up straight. "What? It's the Latina in me" Phoebe says shyly, "you speak Spanish?" Max asked surprised, is there anything she can't do?

"I can speak many languages, but yes I can speak Spanish" Phoebe stated as Max was impressed. "But if you don't want this song I can change it-"

"No it's ok, I like it," Max says, walking closer and putting out her hand for Phoebe to take. Phoebe does with a shy smile. She never acted like this. Max put her arms around Phoebe's shoulders as Phoebe put hers on Max's waist, and they slowly started to dance, again.

Phoebe hums the lyrics quietly. Max stared at the girl in awe, a small smile on her face as her cheeks went rosy. She was a tiny bit taller than Phoebe, not that either of them minded.

Both girls seemed to look into each other's eyes deeply, their faces getting closer and closer together. Their hearts were beating rapidly, and both were surprised the other couldn't hear it.

Max's eyes stayed connected with Phoebe's as she brushed their noses together, Phoebe's breath hitching at the feeling. A small smirk rose to Max's lips at her reaction, her heart fluttering.

Phoebe kept her eyes on Max as their faces pushed closer together, her grip on Max's hips slightly tightening as Max's hand moved to Phoebe's cheeks.

Hesitantly, Phoebe brushed her lips to Max's, the girl's eyes fluttering closed at the sensation as Phoebe watched. Their breath intertwined in the space between them, their lips centimeters away.

Phoebe's eyes fluttered closed as she felt Max brush their lips together once more, their lips finally pressing together softly. Fireworks erupted in Phoebe as Max's stomach did flips, both of them not moving their lips, hesitant to do so.

Max's thumbs softly caressed Phoebe's face as their lips slowly started to move, both of them trying to find a rhythm. It was soft and slow, but to both of them, it was perfect.

Phoebe's lips trapped Max's bottom one between them, their mouths starting to figure out what they were doing.

Max soon grew tired of the somewhat slow pace and pushed her lips a little harder to Phoebe's.

Phoebe couldn't help but notice how Max's lips felt, soft and smooth. They tasted better than she had imagined, almost sweet like candy-addictive. Max herself thought she could kiss Phoebe forever, the taste of cherries invading her mouth.

Phoebe felt Max's right hand move to the back of her head, softly pushing their faces closer. The kiss intensified to a more needy one, their lips moving a bit faster.

After a few minutes, they both pulled away, their foreheads pressed against each other. Neither of them opened their eyes, trying to relish the moment that they had just shared.

Max's eyes fluttered open, a small smile taking over her lips. She saw how Phoebe's chest was heaving from the lack of oxygen from the kiss, little pants leaving her somewhat swollen lips.

Boldly, Max pressed her lips to Phoebe's once more in a small peck before pulling away, Phoebe's eyes now opening as a small smile rose to her lips as well.

The two girls looked at each other, their hearts pounding as small giggles left their mouths. Their cheeks blazed a dark red.

Max remained one hand on Phoebe's neck, and one hand on her cheek as Phoebe comfortably lay on her hips, not noticing Steve taking photos as he had done when they were kissing. Creep, Phoebe thought.

Phoebe's mouth started to open and close to talking, but Max cut her off.

"What are we?" Max asks as the song comes to an end. Phoebe thinks for a moment - she knows what she wants, and she's not afraid of the consequences.

"Whatever you wanna be," Phoebe whispers, "as long as I get to kiss you, and hold your hand..."

"Do you wanna... be my girlfriend?" Max asks awkwardly. Phoebe smiles wider as she opens her mouth to talk. Steve smiles as he walks away from
Phoebe's door to give them space.

"Yes, Yes... a million times over, Maxine," Phoebe says, pulling max into a hug. Max hugs her back, kissing her cheek as they swayed, dancing the rest of the night away.

It's more than I can describe and I've only ever felt like this with her. It may be easy to love her, but the feelings are not simple and that's how I know it's her. Love cannot be summed up in one word. How I feel about her is indescribable.

Words are never enough...
