Jane

Nervously, I offered River my hand as he pulled me closer to him sucking in a sharp breath. As the music started playing again. All I could do was look at River, all I wanted to do was look at River everything else didn't matter. River led the dance almost perfectly, I was at a loss for word watching him. I wanted to tell him what my father had said that if I wanted to I could chose him, but the nagging question in my stomach stopped me. What if he didn't want me to choose him, what if he didn't feel the same way I was starting to feel. I didn't even know what I was starting to feel, as I dropped my eye looking down, biting my tongue. I had no idea what I was feeling, did I like River, yes I would say like at times, but the other times he makes me so mad. Telling me what to do, and the other girls. As my anger flared thinking about all the other girls he always with or giving attention to.

"Jane" I heard River say close to my head, I snapped out of my thoughts as I gasped from warmth of his breath so close to me, causing a goosebumps to spread out across my body "you look so beautiful tonight" he said as I smiled and chuckled

"You don't look that bad yourself, you look almost sophisticated" I said in the best teasing voice I could as River chuckled.

"Will you do me a favor" he asked, lowering his voice to almost a whisper as I pulled back an inch to look at his face confused as I nodded "When the songs done, there be a line out the door of the boys want your attention" he paused

Looking away as I followed the gaze quickly to see many guys standing chatting near the dance floor. Some I recognized, some I didn't, but it caused my stomach sink and my throat started feeling tight and I gripped onto River a little tighter, I didn't want to dance with them. I just wanted to stay here with River. River responded by holding me tighter as I tried to not think about the ridiculous parade of men about to be shoved down my throat.

"Just do me a favor, try not to dance with any of them for too long" he said as I nodded, feeling panic still rising as he became quiet as I nodded, trying to breathe

"I don't want to dance with them" I said looking up looking, pleading with him to save me from this. However, there was nothing, he just sighed and started to pull away from me ignoring my pleas and silly attempt to try to keep him dance with me

"I'm sorry" was all he said as the music stopped and he made a polite bow as I did my best to smile and do a curtsy.

Before I could even turn and run to hide in the crowded, my hand was grabbed and I was pulled into another dance. This time the man who stood in front of me was not who I expected it to be, wanting deeply to call for River to come back. I couldn't even remember his name, I had only met him once and didn't see him again after we had arrived at his house. I remember his sister's name, Melissa, I had spent a lot of time with her. A panic jolt ran through my body, last time I saw Melissa she was trying to hook up with River in the entrance way of their summer home. I wanted to pull away from the younger son of Mr. Noonan.

"You seem very upset about something, I do hope it is not my dancing skill that are causing it?" He said in an amused ancient

"I'm not upset" stating a little too harsh to make it believable

"Yes, I'll believe that when I feel like my life isn't in danger during this dance" chuckling under his breath, as I gave him a weird look. "The look he had as I walked up to you" he laughed again "He really need to learn to control his possessive attributes not everyone is after his girl"
