Mining Camp Memories (MCSM)

Masquerade Under the Stars (Part 2)

Thank you all for being so understanding. You all brought my dad good luck. He literally got a job the day after posting the last chapter. Thank you all so much! I love you all! Here is the next chapter to "Mining Camp Memories"!!

Lukas's POV

We all sat. No one making a move towards the dance floor. Wasn't this suppose to be a dance?

"Ask her to dance." Gill told Aiden.

"Who?"

"Maya, who else?"

"Uh. No way." Aiden protested. "Besides she'd with her best friends."

"Come on." Gil encouraged.

"I don't even know where she is! You can't tell who's who!" He crossed his arms.

"I suppose." I agreed.

Jesse's POV

No one stood up. They all sat not making a single move.

"Well this is getting boring." Maya stated.

"Yeah no one even stands." Heather agreed.

"Oh come on you two let's get the dance started and pull people into the dance floor." They smiled brightly and we stood going to random tables and pulling all of them into the dance floor, pairing them with someone else. Even Heather and Maya got a partner.

Lukas's POV

I walked through the crowd not seeing Gil nor Aiden. Some girls had come up to us and pulled us out into the dance floor. Everyone had gotten a dance partner but me.

Jesse's POV

I walked through the crowd seeing everyone with a dance partner. I smiled seeing everyone dancing. This dance was certainly going to be memorable to everyone.

Lukas's POV

I walked backwards still looking for Aiden and Gil. I couldn't see them anywhere. Not even Gil's weird looking hair. I kept looking for a while and before realizing where I was going, I bumped into someone.

Jesse's POV

I continued to walk through the crowd of miners. They were all having a great time by the looks of it. I got lost and didn't notice where I was going until I bumped into someone. I would of fallen to the ground but someone caught me by my waist pulling up.

Lukas's POV

I reacted quickly not letting, whoever she was fall. I pulled her a bit too quickly. We made contact. She had bright emerald eyes and black hair. I couldn't tell who she was. She wore a beautiful black dress but what really caught my attention were her eyes. They say you can tell alot by someone's eyes if you look closely.

Jesse's POV

I stood there shocked. He had one arm around my waist and one of my hands laid on his shoulder. We stood face to face. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. I suspected it was Lukas but there are many blonde boys with blue eyes here at camp.

Lukas's POV

She backed away from me a bit. I wanted to let go but I held on. I wanted to know who she was but the whole point of this masquerade was to not know who they were. We stayed there for what felt like years. We didn't say a word yet it felt like I've known her my entire life.

Jesse's POV

Standing there felt like an eternity. He didn't let go of me when I tried to leave but I really didn't mind. I was lost in his eyes for the longest time. A new song played and we slowly danced. Still with no words at all. Just from a mere accident we were dancing. We paid no attention around us we just waltz back and forth.

Lukas's POV

I paid no attention to those around me. I only looked into her eyes and she looked into mine. We danced for a long time and our feet began to hurt.

Yet we walked for hours talking.

Jesse's POV

He held my hand the entire time we walked and talked. We walked around the light up forest and by the edge of the lake. We were lost in our own little world that day.

Lukas's POV

We finally decided to show who we were to one another. I never thought it would be Jesse.

Jesse's POV

I was shocked to see Lukas behind the mask but I smiled none the less. I did something I never thought I would do.

Lukas's POV

What happened next I did not expect. She kissed me on the lips. It was short but it was tender and sweet. After she pulled away she looked away blushing. I too was blushing, but I pulled her towards me and kissed her for a second time.

Sorry this chapter was short and took so long. But I hope you enjoyed it!
