Locked once more(Book 2)

Chapter 44

Today was the fourth day after our date. Dwayne hadn't heard anything from Jake just yet. Derek had gotten a message from him saying his team was about to go in. It had taken a few days to get her troops. So we were hoping we would hear something too. He only replied saying 'ok' to Dwayne. Meaning he would message Dwayne first. And I trusted him to message Dwayne if Tyler was there too. We didn't tell anyone else about Sam. We promised each other. Dinner was awkward, with Derek trying to avoid the confrontation.

Adrian and I had a second date last night, more like a moonlit stroll. It was nothing fancy. I made him dinner, baked chicken Alfredo, and paired it with dinner rolls. We had more wine, then we walked in the gardens. We still hadn't kissed, but again, Adrian was polite and posh. So I was not worried about that. But each moment I spent with him, my feelings got stronger. I wasn't sure that it was love but I knew I cared for him, more than I wanted to admit. I did before but now, I hated being away from him.

Today, since we all had to wait for any news, Adrian and I decided to try and keep ourselves entertained. So after brunch, we ran to the library, where Adrian had a mall speaker and his phone ready for us. And though this was not a normal thing for me, I loved where this was going. He wanted to dance with me again. But not slow dance, no, the song that played was a Spanish song by Luis Fonsi the name of it was called 'Calypso.' And it was a fun beat.

"Let me lead Rosa, and you will get it in no time," He said. I nod, He spins me into him before spinning me out.

I knew how to dance, it had been a long time, but I used to love dancing in high school. I move my hips, to the beat. He keeps moving with me, swaying his hips, like a salsa. But this was not Salsa dancing. We were just having fun. And laughing. I keep smiling knowing he was trying to keep my mind off Dani and Jake. He was the best. However, if anyone needed us, they would not know where to look unless they followed the music. We continued to dance to this song until it ended. I came into his chest spinning and stopped taking a breath. I laughed because that was fun.

"I forgot how fun Dancing was," I said, he released me and tilted his head nodding.

"It is a good distraction from all of the bad things," He said. I agreed. It did get my mind off everything. But now I wanted to dance with him some more.

"Can you tango?" I ask. He grabs my hand, as I put 'Bust the windows' on. He spins me into him. Today was the perfect day to wear a sundress. It was white but I was usually careful.

He and I tangoed for a while, and we did it in a more modern way. More spinning and more movement. Not just moving across the floor stiff as a board as some people would. This was the most fun I'd had in a while. He kept grinning at me. I smiled back. His movement got more intense. And he pulled me into him, stopping for a moment. Breathing hard, before bending me backward, slowly. I came back up looking right at him. And he stared into my eyes, only for a moment, before he twirled me again, and I came back into him, and the music ended.

We both tried to catch our breath. Both of us looked at each other. Faith was with Dwayne today so it was just us two. I did not want to make it Awkward For us. Adrian let me go not long after. I was grateful for that. Any more and my face would have turned red. I was flustered. He did this to me. I wasn't sure if what I was feeling was anything like Derek or if it was different. Was I falling for Adrian? Maybe, but I didn't want to rush things. We had only known each other a few short weeks and I wanted to take my time.

I decided I wanted to go to my room, just to breathe for a moment. Adrian was nice enough to escort me and then wait outside the door for me. I wanted to make sense of all of this. We had not heard from Jake yet, and Sam was the guilty party in letting Damien out. What was going on with me and Adrian? This was all so complicated and confusing. And honestly, I felt as if I was going to have a panic attack. I needed to breathe.
