Dancing In The Dark

                 Illi's POV
     Its cold and it looks like its going to rain, but of course that when Marcus and Venus want to go to the beach and brag us all along with them for a bonfire. And of course I just had to forget to bring a jacket with me.
     Lucas holds me on his lap as we look out at the water. Jukes and his girlfriend Nikole are sitting across form us while Venus, her boyfriend Dan, and Marcus and Leslie are in the water.
     "So how do feel about your best friend being with your little sister?" I ask Jules. He shrugs.
    "I feel like what he must have felt like when we were together," he answers. Lucas and I tense. This could all just turn so wrong. "But he makes her happy and that's all that really matters to me. Plus, I can kick his ass if he hurts her."
    I smile him. His eyes shine against the moon. Oh boy, your eyes, they make the moon jealous. I stand up and wipe my ajnds of on my jeans. "I'll be back," I tell Lucas. He kids, looking up at me with squinting brown eyes.
     I can hear someone following me, but I don't loin back cause I'm nearly positive as to who it is. I go through the crowd of trees and meet my destination of the bridge.
    "Do you remember the last time we were on this bridge together?" Jules asks, meaning around the wooden railing. I smile at the memory.
    "I remember it being very awkward," I say. He smiles, looking at the water.
    "Well, I remember trying to kiss you but you moving at the last moment. And your hair smelling like roses."
   Against myself, I find myself leaving into her, my lips growing closer and closer to hers. Her eyes drop to mine, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She moves her head at the last second.
     I find myself smiling at him. "I was scared of how you made me feel at that moment, that's why I moved. I knew that getting attached to you wasn't good idea." He nods, his grin falling.
   The sound of soft music catches my attention. He looks over at me. He takes out his phone and turns the music up and offers me his hand. "Can I have this dance?" I place my hand in his calloused one.
     We slowly sway back and forth. He twirls me, making me giggle. I can't remember the last time I felt this happy and light on my feet. He pulls me back my chest meeting his as he dips me.
     Bring me back up, he doesn't lean back. I find myself closing my eyes, waiting to feel his lips on mine. When they do, it feels like everything has been out back together.
    "That's what I've wanted for so long," he says. I shake my head and get myself out of his arms.
    "You have a girlfriend. I have a boyfriend. That shouldn't of happened. I'm sorry," I tell him. He grabs my arm, pulling me so I'm facing him again.
   "I haven't stooped loving you. You don't understand how many times I've had to think about coming back to you when I was in pain. You are my strength and I love you so damn much. Forget about Lucas and Nikole, think about us and what we could be this time around."
     I look out to the water. "We're older now, have steady careers. We could move in together and not hide our relationship. Get married and start a family," he says. I look over at him. "I want all of that with you and only you. But you have to give this another chance in order for that to happen."
     "I love you too," I say, kissing him. He wraps his arms around my waist. "I want that with you."

        "Where'd you guys go?" Lucas asks us when we get back to the others. Venus and Marcus wink at us.
    "Just a little far off the beach to talk. Catch up on some things," I lie. Jules smirks, licking his bottom lip sexily. Marcus throws him something. He takes out a cigarette and lights it before throwing the pack back. Something about that is such a turn on.
    "We should get going," Lucas says. I stand up and hug my siblings goodbye. I hug Jules. He squeezes my ass and kisses right behind my ear. It takes so much self control to pull away from him.
    "I love you," he says quietly.
    "I love you too."
