My Only Love

Chapter 23

Nate felt sentimental deep inside as he remembered holding Kate in his arms. There was a sadness enveloping him thinking about the times ahead without Kate by his side. He was brooding, deep in thought just as 80's music blasted on the dance floor. He knew he was turning out to be a lousy date. Alive one moment, quiet and morose the next. But Amanda was patient with him that he admired in her as urged him to the dance from the corner booth they were in.

C'mon it's time to strut your stuff. She said making a come on look to him her eyes dancing with mischief.

Nate had to grin. You sure you're prepared for this. I'm a mighty killer on the dance floor. Even if 80's is not our time. It's the best beat.

Then prove it then she challenged as she started to sway her hips and let loose.

Nate forgot his troubles for a while. She looked really sexy, her hair flying maddeningly about, her hips swaying exuding an aura of femininity and passion.

Aw what the heck! He laughed just as Night to Remember was played by the band.

Amanda was the perfect dancer as he complimented her moves. It just felt free and it invigorated him, releasing all his loneliness even though temporary.

I love the 80's tune. It's the best time actually even on the dancing part. In our time and age I don't know if we can dance to our beat anymore.

I know he grinned as he made a smooth turn around as he twirled Amanda until they were so near each other.

It was like heaven for Amanda being in Nate's arms. She was glad she was able to relieve him of his deep thoughts. He looked almost lonely when he sat there in the corner booth. Again it was because of Kate. What she had Amanda had no idea. But she was being fought over by two equally wonderful guys. Lucky girl she thought.

You dance so well. She commented.

He laughed I warned you right. One of my hidden talents. One I usually keep hidden only on rare occasions it comes out.

She giggled. It isn't a full moon right? I'm starting to hear werewolf sounds.

Very funny. He chuckled. He started making howling sounds right there and then which made Amanda laugh. Nate can be very adorable when he wanted to be. They laughed simultaneously.

They started to let loose again as "Whip it" was played. Nate enjoyed dancing with Amanda she was all carefree and vibrant in the dance floor. They were both flushed while talking but it was great to enjoy for a while. Not to look at Ryan and Kate just for the moment and stop punishing himself. Maybe even hoping Kate was looking and make her jealous. The plan should still be in action right?

And what are your other hidden talents Nate Porter? She said teasing him candidly. He loved the way he danced, the smooth flow in his moves. The way he complimented hers feeling as if they were dancing as a couple. A couple. It sounded so good to Amanda. She would definitely have him. She thought. All she had to do was play her cards right.

Oh you'll find out in time. He grinned back and there was again a glint of mischief in his eyes one that excited Amanda as he whirled her around until he was locked in his arms. Again it was dreamy being in his arms.

Kate was with Ryan on the side lines sitting it out. She could not help but look at Nate and Amanda truly enjoying themselves in the dance floor. They made a striking couple with Nate's dark hair and Amanda's auburn ones, they were suited perfectly. A wave of jealousy came to her recalling the times that she and Nate danced together. They were both good dancers and it brought back a lot of memories of the good times they had. Now he had Amanda. Maybe in time she would be his girlfriend. It was all over the girl how much he adored Nate. She could see that Nate was enjoying her company too. They were going their separate ways now, gone was the time they would spend their free times together. She started it. Nate was not to blame.
