I couldn't help but look and admire the buildings in London. It's such a beautiful place to be especially at night.
My hand is squeezed, and I see Polo looking over at me "What are you thinking of?" he asks. I smile and say, "Just how lucky we are to be here, together". He smiles back and pulls me close. We enjoy the moment together, taking in all the beauty of the city.
"And you guys are here," the limo driver says. We laugh and nod, and Polo takes my hand in his. We all get out of the limo "Our last ball of the year" Skylar says adjusting her dress "My first and last" We all laugh.
We enter the building and the lights dazzle us. Music is playing and people are dancing. I take a deep breath, trying to take in the moment and capture the feeling. I feel my worries slipping away and I can't help but smile. I'm so grateful for this experience--it's one I'll never forget.
We find a table and sit at it. "Didn't we design the room so well?" Skylar asks looking around the gym and I nod. "Most definitely" We had worked so hard to create the perfect atmosphere for the party. We wanted everyone to feel special and enjoy the night. We had succeeded.
"You want something to drink?" Xavier asks Skylar Skylar nods and he gets up looking at Polo "You coming man?" Polo didn't say anything else before getting up. I watch as they walk away "Girl he has you hooked." Skylar teases.
I roll my eyes "No he does not. I was just looking," I say. She shrugs and smirks. "Yeah, alright." We both laughed. She takes a sip of her water and looks away. I notice her gaze lingering on Xavier and Polo.
"Here you go, ladies!" Xavier says passing Skylar her drink and Polo passes me mine. "I didn't say I wanted something to drink," I say Polo laughs and replies "You didn't reject either." I blush and quickly look away.
Skylar giggles and says "You better watch out Polo, her panties will be yours by the end of the night." I look at Skylar and Xavier laughing. "Funny." I shake my head and roll my eyes. "Y'all are so aggravating."
They were having a great time at the ball, teasing each other and making jokes. Skylar was always so full of life and it was always a delight to be in her presence. I couldn't help but smile as I watched them joke around with each other.
Suddenly, a slow song started playing and Skylar grabbed Xavier's hand and led him to the dance floor. They started to sway to the music, in perfect harmony with each other. I smiled to myself, feeling so lucky to be able to witness the beauty of their connection.
Polo gets up "Come on" I shake my head "I don't know how to slow dance" I nervously laugh. He smiles and takes my hand, leading me onto the floor. I take a deep breath and step onto the dance floor. With Polo's gentle guidance, I gradually start to feel the rhythm, and soon I'm dancing along with him.
We move together in tune with the music, and I'm starting to feel the joy of dancing. I look up at him, and he's smiling at me, his eyes twinkling with delight. "You are so gorgeous," Polo says, his voice gentle and warm. "Thank you. You do too."
He pulls me closer and I lean into him, feeling safe and secure in his arms. We dance until the song is over, and then he holds me close and whispers in my ear, "My life would be so boring without you." We kiss, and I can feel my heart swell with emotion.
