"Gloria aa ... wait" I turned around to see him comin towards me.  

To see Dean  coming towards me. I turned to see him approaching, his casual swag a welcome distraction from the turmoil of my mind.

"Hey," he greeted me with a friendly smile, his eyes holding a hint of mischief.

"Hey," I replied, unable to suppress the grin that tugged at the corners of my lips.

"What brings you here?" I asked, genuinely curious.

Dean shrugged, his whole arrival putting me at ease. "Just wanted to see what all the fuss about you was," he said with a chuckle. 

His gaze swept over me, and I couldn't help but feel a flutter in my stomach as he took me in. "How do I look?" he asked, gesturing to his own outfit with a mock-serious expression.

I couldn't resist the opportunity to tease him. "Well, Dean... you kinda look like a clown," I quipped, unable to suppress a mischievous grin.

Dean's eyes widened in mock offense, and he pouted playfully. "A clown, huh? That's harsh, Glory," he teased, but there was a hint of laughter in his voice.

Before I could respond, Dean surprised me by leaning in closer, his gaze softening as he offered me a genuine compliment. "But seriously, though, you look amazing," he said, his words coloring my cheeks red.

I reached out to cup his face gently, my fingers grazing his cheek as I met his gaze. "I'm sorry, Dean. I was just joking," I said softly, unable to resist the urge to apologize for my playful teasing.

Dean's playful façade melted away, replaced by a genuine smile as he leaned into my touch. "No need to apologize, Glow. We both know I can rock any look," he quipped, his tone light and teasing once more as I rolled my eyes.

Caught off guard by the way Dean licked his lips, my heart did a little flip in my chest. There was something about that subtle gesture that sent a thrill through me, igniting a spark in me.

"Got something on my face?" Dean asked with a hint of mischief, but his eyes told a different story.

I shook my head, trying to play it cool despite the butterflies fluttering in my stomach. "Nah, just admiring the view," I replied, flashing him a coy grin.

We bantered back and forth, the air crackling with a flirty energy that was impossible to ignore. But before I could dwell too long on the charged atmosphere between us, Dean mentioned that his dance was up next.

 "Remember to cheer huh?".  With a teasing glint, I spoke, "Okay, I'll make sure to scream extra loud for you." 

He shot back with a smirk, "Oh, I'm counting on it. Without the 's' tho, okay?" Dean flashed me a cheeky wink before darting off towards the backstage area, leaving me stunned and mouth wide opened like a fish.

 I couldn't help but gulp nervously as I watched him go.
