His Bet

Chapter Sixty Seven

Brix

"Can I finally dance with the debutant for tonight?" I asked with my full smile. At last, I can now have my moment with this amazing girl in front of me.

Her look is unexplainable. She look so beautiful with that white dress she wears. I also observed that she shows off her bare arms, neck and shoulders that made me feel like she's a lot different tonight. As I'm smiling at her she looked at me-which I haven't seen ever since I met her. That kind of look that I'm dying to see. That kind of look like she's somewhat into me. And that kind of look like she's feeling the same way I'm feeling towards her. It might me an ounce of what I feel but I saw it. I can feel it the way she looks at me.

"Do I look really handsome tonight baby?" I cracked the unstoppable war of staring going on between us.

Her mouth was agape with what I said that made me chuckle.

"I have to look really good and handsome so I can be at least look deserving to dance with you tonight. I gave it a justice I suppose." I trailed. With my playful look so I can lighten up the mood a bit.

"You're unbelievable." She commented.

I just smile. I can't help myself from smiling cotdamnit.

Savoring the sweet music on the background I close my space between us. The lights perfectly shone on her beauty. She took my breathe away in just one look, I can't believe I'd see her this way. As I'm few inches apart, she look up at me. I'm aware I still got the white rose I'm suppose to give her. Getting it from behind I snap it's long stem and made sure it doesn't got thorns and carefully place and tuck it on her ear smoothing her hair which I'm dying to do. This is the first time I saw her lay her hair down and it felt right to touch it. It felt velvety smooth and long.

I can see how astonished she is with the gesture so I carefully get her right hand. My eyes were glued on her as I kiss the back of it with a smack sound.

"Happy Birthday sweetheart." That was the first words I wanted to say. There were so many thoughts swirling on my mind that I don't know how to place it in proper words. I wanna tell her everything I feel for her but I might scare her off. With those thoughts she snapped me out with her reply.

"Thank you. I.. I really appreciate this." She tentatively replied. I saw how her eyes can't get a hold and her voice cracked with emotions.

"Can I touch you now?" I asked for permission.

Her face turned a shade of pink but she nodded anyway. So I carefully get her right hand and place it above my right shoulder and ever so gently wrapped my free arm around her waist, finally feeling her body collide with mine.

The electricity was fast to run all over my system with my body contact with her. This felt so intimate.

There were no words that left our mouth as I savor my dear time guiding her steps. I made it slow the way I felt our world turn slow with each other's arms.

"How was it with the boys? Should I reprimand anyone from them? Tell me who is it." I finally break the comfortable silence reigning between us. My face turned suddenly serious.

"No. Yes it was.. It was uncomfortable and a bit scary but it's all fine. They're all fine." She answered.

"That's amazing ain't it?" I smiled giving her a compliment about her performance around people. Men to be exact for I know she don't do well with mingling with too much people especially with people she barely know.
