Lucy's Pov

Jake's eyes keep switching from me to Gregg, "She's your date?" He finally asked Gregg. "When did you two meet?" Gregg kept his face neutral, I kept it with a frown on it.

"At the mall, not that long ago." He truthfully stated, "Being the clutz that I could be, I ran into her. I thought she was rather beautiful so I pursued a conversation with her which then leaded into my proposal of her being my date for your party."

Jake frowned more, it was visible. "I see," He hissed. "And she accepted obviously. Well, enjoy the party." Jake walked away from us furiously. Brenda's plan worked and it was all thanks to Gregg.

I turn to face him but he beats me to speak. "Forgive me if I made you feel uncomfortable at any moment." He smiled sheepishly, "I saw he was bothering you and knowing how he could get, I decided to play a prank on him."

I laughed, "Don't worry about it, it's fine. I meant to do something similar." I caught Jake glancing at us every few seconds, "What are you doing here?" I didn't mean it in a harsh way, I was curious.

"Jake's a friend." He summarized, "What about you?"

I didn't want to tell him exactly what happened so I shrugged. "My friend is friends with him, unfortunately. She just had me tag along."

He nodded causally, "And where is this friend?" I pointed toward the dance floor and he smiled. "Want to dance?"

I looked at the dance floor and saw all the people who were already there, sweating their butts off. Then, I looked at Gregg and smiled. "I'd love to." Within seconds, Gregg takes a hold of my hand and leads me toward the dance floor.

A vibrant song played and I didn't have any problem with it. Once a slow song played, I began to walk back to the table but I was stopped by Gregg. "Dance with me," He smiled.

I nodded, this is my first slow dance. I didn't know how to dance it. Gregg placed his hands on my waist pulled me closed, he whispered for me to wrap my arms around his neck and once I did, we swayed back and forth with all the other couples.

I looked into his eyes and he looked into mine. "You look ravishing, darling." He whispered after he kissed my forehead.

I blushed slightly, not once taking my eyes off him. I wanted to stay like this, in his arms, forever.
