Summer Party

Our First Dance

I try to recover from that awful sauce incident and just change the subject, talking to Lucas about our neighborhood. I'm going to show him around sometime soon. Out of nowhere, Marcus and Darius sneak behind Lucas and start splashing balloons filled with water on his head!

This turns into a full blown water fight in the garden, because Lucas takes a water bottle from the table and starts chasing his brothers. Soon enough, more people join in, even my dad & mom 😂! We all laugh and enjoy the show they put on.

Later, after sunset, the hosts turn on the lights in the garden. There are garlands strung in the trees and on the fence. Latin music is blasting on the speakers and the older men invite their wives and girlfriends to dance.

A slower song comes on and I see Lucas with his hand out towards me. "Do you want to dance?" he asks smiling. "Of course!" I reply and take his hand as he leads me to the improvised dance floor. "Uhh, I should probably put on a shirt first" Lucas says blushing. He took his shirt off when he played b-ball and didn't wear it again until now. I didn't say anything to him because, honestly, it was quite a nice view 🙈.

He comes back and pulls me close, putting his right hand on my lower back, and the left one on my hip. Lucas hugs me and brings me even closer, pressing our bodies lightly together. My hands go around his neck, crossing behind it.

At first I look at his beautiful face, lit up by the fairy lights, but then I feel myself blushing so I rest my head on his chest while we both sway side to side. I wish this moment would never end.
