Dance To The Beat

Chapter 10...

Raffie

At the party...

"You should at least do the line dance, Raff," says Rhia.

I shake my head. "Go ahead. You could do it without me." I say.

Finally, Rhia gives up on convincing me to do the line dance and joins the crowd.

The party's theme is western that's why there is line dancing.

I watch her enjoy the night at the same time, looking for Javier. Telling him my decision.

I got up from my seat and went to the balcony to breath some fresh air. I then heard "Boys Like You" and started swaying to the beat and snapping my fingers. Then I air guitared, then air piano.

The next thing I knew was that I was dancing, the moves were the ones that I've been thinking whenever I hear or listen to the song.

I felt someone come and dance with me.

When the song ended, I looked behind me.

It was him.

"So," says Javier. "What's your answer?"

He was a bit out of breath when he asked me.

I shake my head. "No."

"What?!" He says.

He runs a hand through his hair and tries to calm himself down.

"But why?" He asks.

"I don't want to commit the same mistakes I did before."

"Then tell me what is that mistake so that I could understand," he says, hitting his chest lightly.

I felt the tears coming. I immediately leave him there in the balcony and went back inside.

^°^°^°^°^

The party ended around midnight. I got on the bed immediately, not caring if I have to clean or something.

But why?

Aaahhhhhh. Javier! I thought

His words were coming back, something's telling me that I could trust him, only that I'm sacred to tell him.

"Hey!"

I woke up. Rhia was beside me, her hand on my shoulder.

"Are you okay?" She asks.

I nodded. "Yeah. Why?"

"You started sleep-talking so I thought of shaking you out of that bad dream."

"Well, thanks then," I say, putting my hand on top hers.

"And also to wake you up to change and clean up."

I looked at the clock on the bedside table.

"It's only 1:30 in the morning," I say.

"Another reason for you to get up."

I swing my legs out of the bed and stood up. "Fine," I say exasperatedly.

Older siblings be like....eh!

Next morning...

"WAKE UP! WAKE UUUPPP!!!"

I woke to Rhia's scream got knocked out of the bed. I just found myself on the floor and my butt aching because of the fall.

"What's up with you and that racket of yours?" I ask.

"He's here!" She says.

"Who?!" I ask.

"Ja—"

The time I heard the first letter of his name, I got up and ran to the door.

I cracked the door open a bit, there he was😓. Javier was talking to my parents, Raymond was in the room, part of the conversation.

I look back at my sister. "What's he doing here?" I whisper-shout at her.

She shrugs.

I look at the people in the living room.

I'm dead, I thought.
