I've been sitting here for almost an hour. And I've been trying to find a way to get out of this conversation with Rachel the entire time. I haven't heard a word she's said. I'm smiling and nodding when I think it's appropriate. You would think she would get the hint. I hear music playing and in the corner of my eyes I see someone pulling Ari to dance. And then I hear her laugh. From the first time I heard her laugh earlier I knew it was a sound I wanted to hear again. But, I would have hoped it was me who would be the cause of it. It's almost sounds melodic to my ears. I turn in the direction I saw her being pulled in. When I find her everything stops and I can't look away. She's dancing with a guy in the most sensual way. Her full hips are moving in ways that shouldn't be seen in public. She seems so carefree and light. She moves as if she was created to dance. He's pulling on her hips to get her closer, and by the looks of him he's enjoying it a little too much. I get up to go cut in, but I feel a hand on my bicep, and I turn and see Rachel looking at me a little hurt. She smiles shyly and asks, "Do you want to dance?"

I don't want to dance with her, but I don't want to be rude so I get up and head in the same direction I saw Ari in. She doesn't even notice we're there. She's so confident and at ease in her own skin, and I find it so sexy. She's not even trying hard, it's just natural for her.

As we begin to move, Rachel starts to put her best moves forward. She's trying her best to keep my attention. But, it doesn't work. As soon as the song is over I step away and thank her for the dance. I don't stick around for her to respond, I head straight for Arianna. I cut in between her and the guy she was dancing with. "Can I have this dance?"

She looks at me nervously. "Ugh...I don't know?"

"Why Ari? You know who I am. You know that I'm not a stranger. We already straightened that out earlier." I smile at her and she begins to giggle.

"Okay, one dance won't hurt." As she steps out of the guy's hold he scowls at me and I smile. As we begin to move, Confident by Justin Bieber begins to play. I smile at the appropriate song title. I wouldn't normally be a fan, but under the circumstances it works.

She grins at me. "Okay white boy, show me what you got."

"Oh, you don't think I can keep up?"

"That has yet to be proven." She begins to move with the tempo of the song and I do my best to keep up with her. Because as much as I want to dance I'm captivated by her. I'm finally looking at her without her hoodie or any other distraction. She's breathtakingly beautiful. She has a smooth honey brown complexion and her skin looks so soft. She has the most voluptuous pink lips I've ever seen. Her nose is short and pert, and her face is round because she still has a bit of baby fat and innocence remaining. With the illumination of the fire, her eyes look green with specks of mahogany. The feeling of having her body in my arms is like heaven. I can feel her tiny waist underneath her sweatshirt. She has the curves of a woman. She is not tall, but she's not a midget either. It's just to my 6'0" height she appears tiny. Her hair is shoulder length and curly.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" She asks as she wrinkles her nose.

"No reason."

"Right." We stop talking and continue to dance. As soon as the song is over she moves to step away from me and I hold on to her.

"I said one song Sky."

My body pulsates as I hear her say my name. "Say my name again!"

She whispers, "Sky."

"That sounds so good coming from your lips."

Breathless she says, "One song Sky."

I bend down and put my nose to her neck. "I know, but this feels right having you here."

"Rachel likes you Sky. This can't happen. I won't let it happen. She's like a sister to me so you have to stop." She steps away from me and looks me in the eyes and pleads, "Please, Sky."

I sigh. "How is that fair Ari? Are you trying to tell me you don't feel this?"

"It doesn't matter what I feel. She likes you. I'm not going to do that to her. All I can offer you is friendship. Take it or leave it."

I stare at her honest pleading eyes, and I concede. "Okay. But if we are going to be friends, we are going to be best friends." I say grinning at her.

She smiles at me. "Okay, best friends."
