Like Crazy

Chapter Three: Move Lightly

"It's the halves that halve you in half."

That's what went through his mind. The gory bits of him. He stopped by his condo to freshen up a bit for the party that night. Filly was always close to him, ever so close. But when it came to mind he was ever so far. Her voice, her smile, her eyes, her body. He couldn't stop thinking of it. He never noticed this in a while but she was beautiful. She's always been. She came like a dream in his head. Always. Ever since he was little. She came in his mind like a theif in the night. "It's the halves that halve you in half." Ever so lightly it sprinkled in his mind.

"I need you"

That's what went through her mind. She has never loved someone so deeply. Not even Scott. She was over him. She thinks why she even was close to him. The gory bits of her. She never thought of loving Anton. She thought it was wrong. But could something ever be so wrong that it was right? She still felt his lips on hers. Lightly brushing, ever so soft. He came to her mind like waves on a tide. Light as brush strokes on a canvas. But it was love that would solve the puzzle. Love is what brought them closer to each other. What if she stayed in England? What would happen if she moved back? She can't go back. Not now. Note ever. "I need you." Was his voice whispering into her mind.

Anton came back to the building dressing nicely. He was a classy party yet odd. But that's what made it different from the other parties. She heard a knock on the door. "It's me." He said. Filly shouted from the bathroom. "It's open." He came in and sat on the couch waiting for her. Filly came out wearing a knee length red dress that was silky and had her hair up in a bun. "wow." Was all that escaped his mouth. Anton was in awe. She was beautiful. She was always beautiful to him but this time it felt even more different to him. She smiled. "Thank you. You look stunning." He smiles and takes her hand as they walk to the door.

They drove to the theater where the party was held in the large room. Her parents where waiting at the front door. "Hello sweetie!" Said her mother hugging her. "Oh, Anton! It's been a long time!" Her mother said. "Wonderful seeing you again Ruby." He said. He has been in their family long enough that they all go by first names. "Are you guys...?" Said her father looking at them both. "What about?" Said her father again. "He um, cheated on me. But let's not get to that." She said nodding walking inside. Her father hugged her. "Sorry sweet but congrates on you two." Anton smiled and so did she. Abby was glaring at Anton. She was always there for her sister no matter what. So she kept an eye on him.

The party colourful and the performers from the musical was there and there kids or family. Filly held Anton's hand. Felicity remembered that Scott always went to these but now he isn't and she's relived that Anton is with her so it might be a lot better.

The performers brought their boyfriends or husbands and so they played a bunch of slow songs but it felt different to Jess. Anton's body pressed on hers. He was warm, his heart beat filled her head. Why was she lucky to have him? What did she do to deserve him? But she was lucky and loved him dearly.

It felt like the night lasted forever. When she danced with Anton they moved lightly. It felt amazing. She saw her friends while dancing and never leaving Anton. She felt something was different but she liked that feeling. "I'm going to check on Abby." She said to Anton standing up. He nodded.

Filly walked over to her sister Abby. "Hey sweetie." She said. "Enjoying yourself?" She chuckled. Abby nodded. "Is Anton treating you well?" She said in her cute little girl british accent. She laughed and nodded. "That is none of your concern sweetie." Abby crossed her arms. "When can I pounce on Scott." Abby laughed. "Stay outta this love." She stood back up and fixed her eyes on the door. There she saw someone who was back for her. She knew it wasn't going to be pretty.
