Seeing is believing

Chap 17

Andy smiled as his lips parted from my knuckles. He took my hand in his, causing me to blush as our fingers intertwine. He pulled me gently down the few remaining stairs and out into the party. A few guest noticed me and being to wiser to each other while occasionally pointing which made me hot and bothered. Andy noticed my uneasiness and leaned sideways towards my ear as we walked. "They are noticing you because it's been a while since you've come here. These last years, you've only managed to get into the forest." His words confused me, of course since I had to recollection of ever being here, or seeing these people. But I followed Ash's advice, keeping my questions to myself and only replying with a simple nod and smile. Speaking of Ash, I angled my head to try to find her. I squinted, try to spot those ravishing red and black curls as me and Andy proceed. There! Among the crowd, I saw her dancing with a tall man. Sleeked black hair, several lip piercings and a pricey suit. He also wore a glittery mask over his gleaming hazel eyes with leather gloves clinging to his fingers. I smiled when they both slowly leaned in and shared a passionate kiss. "Sir. Motionless finally made a move!" I turned to see Andy looking in the exact same direction with a crooked smile. "Huh?" Andy glanced at me. "He's always had feelings for our cat, Ash. He never had the balls to do anything, but I guess he manned up." I giggled at his reply. Suddenly, Hatter stepped in front of me in the blink of an eye grinned and held my hand with both of his hands. "I have some business to attend to, my lady. I'll return soon." He bent down and kissed my knuckles before leaving me. I didn't mind, his sweet gestures made me happy and forget the bad things. "Hey there, cutie." I turned to see Ashly in the same outfit, rather close with a smirk. He may be quite creepy, but I'm not scared anymore. I folded my arms with raised eyebrows and a smirk. "Hello, Ashly." He chuckled, taking a step forward. "You've certainly toughened up, sweetie." I grind and set my hands on his bare chest. I stood on my tip toes and whispered into his ear. "I'm not gonna sleep with you." I could sense his disappointment, but when I pulled away, he was still smirking. "Touche." He said, retrieving his step. I laughed and punched his shoulder playfully. "Ladies and gents! May I have your attention?" I turned to see Andy in the center of the dance floor, but by himself. He cleared his throat with a grin. "I want to do something that I haven't done in a while, so I may be a tad rusty. But I want this to be dedicated to an amazing person who has appeared in our lives once again." My heart fluttered as his chilling blue eyes connected with mine for a split second. But then he suddenly started doing a strange turns while twirling his top hat around. His legs twisted and spun as his shoulders moved. He done a series of weird crouches which made me smile. I folded my arms and furrowed my eyebrows while grinning. "What is he still?" I asked Ashly with a turn of my head in his direction. He was grinding widely while shaking his head. "Futterwaken."
