Light & Darkness

Chapter 13: Dance me if you can!

'I NEED TO DO WHAT?!' I cried at the top of my lungs, getting every customer's attention. 'ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND??!'

'Aura please!' Amelia requested with her hands tied in front of her, 'It's not that big deal.'

'NO!!!' I yelled again, 'NO NEVER!' I then lowered my voice realising that I am being a drama queen right now. 'I don't even know how to do a simple dance step Amelia and... how the hell are you excepting me to do... Ballroom Tango?!' I replied in a soft voice but mockingly.

'AURA PLEEAASE!!!' she begged, 'It's really important for me, I don't want to fail my media project.'

'Alright then,' I let out a sigh and heard myself saying before I could even stop myself, 'I'll do it.'

'Yayyyyy!!!' Amelia started jumping up and down getting the attention of customers once again, 'You are wonderful Aura thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love you!' 'And you missy... are good at persuading with your killer, innocent face.' I thought hanging my head down, I sighed loudly. 'Well! I need to know everything about it,' I demanded, 'What is it about and what will I be doing?'

'OK, I am making a music video on beauty and the beast,' Amelia started explaining, 'And I will shoot everything with a camera, you don't have to say any dialogues just dance.'

'Like it's easy peasy lemon squeezy right?' I complained in my head, it was hard to keep a straight face as I felt like laughing and crying at the same time. 'So I am the beauty?' I pointed a finger at myself, rolling my eyes as Amelia just nodded her head in excitement. 'But I don't know how to dance!' I literally started panicking and turned around.

'Oh don't worry about that at all Adrian can teach you that easily.'

'WHO???' I jumped almost 2 feet high in air and turned around wildly, 'Are you kidding me?' I stared a her with wide eyes, unable to accept her words.

'Oh he is a really good dancer you know,' she sang.

I just couldn't stop the urge to laugh so, I burst out laughing, 'You have GOT to be kidding me! ADRIAN ... AND DANCE? Unbelievable.'

'Trust me Aura HE IS!' she leaned forward, 'He will be happy to say yes.'

'So you are saying he is the beast of your video?' I started laughing again forgetting that it means that I will be dancing with him. 'As if he would say yes,' I continued wiping a tear due to laughing so much with my finger.

'Oh don't worry about that!' she winked at me and then left without saying anything, leaving me laughing behind. I had to get back to work quickly and the whole day was so busy that I dint get any chance to think over it.

Next day I was standing in Amelia's school which was open for all of the students with media and ICT projects.

She took me to an hall and there I was, standing in front of a dashing looking figure. I wouldn't have guessed it would be Adrian.

I blinked wildly as I couldn't believe my eye, making myself appear as a fool in front of him. 'This, is a dream Aura... definitely a dream and a beautiful one at that!' I said

out loud, not realising if he is even there and whether he is able to hear me or not. Nope! This has got to be a nightmare! I mentally cringed.

'Oh... you don't want me to be here?' Adrian spoke, dragging my head down from the clouds and back to earth again.

'Huh?' I looked at him confused but realised that this was all real and not my imagination.
