If It Hadn't Been For Love

Chapter 4

"Your mum's cupcake were the best goodies I ever taste in my life!" I divert the subject to hide my feelings away.

"-but hey, you look wonderful tonight..." I added. No. I just can't resist it.

"Stop fooling me Si! This dress is killing me!" Adele said as she tried to loosen the dress from her waist.

"Are the two of you have still plans to go to our prom?" Laura got in between our conversation.

"Of course Lau! You did great effort tonight! You look stunning too!" I complimented Laura.

"Bye mum!" Adele hugged her mum.

"Bye darlings! Enjoy your night! And Simon, I'll entrust you my ladies huh? I hope I can count on it." Aunt penny tapped my back.

"Yes Mrs. Adkins, you can count on me. At around 9 pm I'll drop Adele here safe and sound."

"Thank you dear, have fun!"after we bid our goodbyes, we went off.

ADELE'S POV

Dance floor

Everyone was starting to ask their partners to dance with them. The lights were reduced and the DJ started to put on some "cheesy" love songs.

I was sitting alone at the table, eating quietly. Yes quietly. 'Cause I don't want someone to notice me and talk to me. Laura was asked by Daniel to dance with him. My best friend is head over heels in love with Simon's friend. Well, Daniel seemed to be a nice and decent guy for my crazy Laura.

Speaking of Simon, I haven't seen him for awhile. Maybe he got bored and looked for another date.

Fuck this shoe! I should've wore my converse instead. I sighed.

I know for myself that I am 101% straight but I am just not comfortable wearing tight clothes, high heels and putting makeup on. Well, look whose doing all of those, plus my hair are all laid down and curled. I'm starting to get irritated with my situation right now. In the first place, why did I burdened myself of being a so "feminine" tonight, if I could just stay comfy with my pj's and tucked in my bed.

You're such a stupid Adele.

I was interrupted by a warm breath on my nape.

"You're not." I saw Simon as he sat on the opposite chair. He removed his coat, neck tie and unbuttoned his collar.

"Hey, the party isn't over yet, why are you stripping?" I yuk before I cackled.

"Oh Adele. It's as if I don't know what's happening below this table lol. You removed you shoes and currently resting your feet on the chair. Am I right Ms. Adkins?" Simon smirked at me.

See. Even if Simon didn't see what did I do, he knows exactly what I'm going to do. It's amazing that he memorized my every movements.

"Ahuh." I said while biting my pizza

"Can I have some?" Simon pleaded with puppy eyes.

"No, these are all mine. Just get for yourself at the buffet table lol."

"But there's nothing left..." Simon's trying to self-pity.

"Oh, poor hungry bear." I cooed at him and he stood up from his chair and walks his way towards me.

"What are you gonna do? Step back Si" I said cautiously but he just smirked at me.

"Fuck off Konecki, or you are going to regret this night of your life." I said trying to control my laughs and be serious.

"Calm down Delly lol I'm just going to whisper something." Simon said as he moved closer to my ears.

I believed him and focused my attention. Suddenly, I heard him already chewing something.

Simon stole a bite from my pizza.

"Fuck you Si, you tricked me!" He was just laughing uncontrollably.

"Dickhead..." I mumbled.

"What?" Simon said while wiping his tears away.

"You know, let's just dance and enjoy the rest of the night." Simon stood up in front of me and offered his hand.

Is he asking me to dance with him? Fuck. My heartbeat starts to beat crazy. My cheeks are getting hot but my body is freezing from cold. Adele, act natural.

"My feet sores." I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Wait..." Simon reached something from his pocket and it was a Band-Aid.

"What? You have Band-Aids? You're crazy Simon!" I laughed.

Simon just went down on his knee and grabbed my feet carefully. He placed the Band-Aid on the red marks on my feet and put on my shoes.

"I know this is going to happen." Simon smiled at me.

Fuck it Simon. Stop. Smiling. At. Me.

"So you didn't tell me that you've watched Cinderella?" I smirked at him.

"Salagadoo la means... Lol, come on Delly, the clock is about to tick." Simon held my hand and guided me to the dance floor.

"I don't know how to do this thing..." I said as I tried to position my hands on his shoulder.

Simon guided my left hand to his right shoulder as he held my right hand with his left hand.

"So you really watch Disney princesses movies huh?" I simpered at him.

We are surrounded with a lot of people so I felt hot even more.

"Hold on." I said as I unloose our hands.

I pulled my hair into a messy pony tail, just to reduce the hotness I feel.

As I met Simon's eyes, he's staring at me. I got lost to his hazel brown eyes.

Shit.
