Running Into You

Chapter 12: The dance

When you look at me,

I swear I can't breathe,

I feel being in another world.

Cyndiana Collins's POV

As we got closer to the entrance , I became more nervous for I could see many people, business tycoons including celebrities all dressed up in highly expensive fancy clothes, I wonder how would I look if I was to choose my own dress for the night luckily Dee helped me out, I could also see flashing lights from the paparazzi. I started to feel out of place already , I just wanted to run and hide somewhere but my legs were not corporating with me at that point of time. The interior design of the hotel made me speechless, it was so exquisite and unique. The latter had chandeliers from wall to wall and all painted into flawless white and tables were set with all types of delicious food, expensive wines and mouth watering deserts that you could have imagined, the waiters were walking like everywhere to provide the best quality service to everyone present. Just in the center, couple were dancing and enjoying themselves, it felt so nice to look at them that I forgot about everything at that particular point of time.

Xavier never left my side and also helped me to find Ryan. The latter was so busy talking to a gorgeous blonde who was wearing a black gown that he did not notice us approaching. After a few minutes of waiting maybe he realized our presence and turned to us. Ryan threw a deadly glare at Xavier , who then left with the blonde leaving me all alone with the devil but not before whispering to be careful to me. Ryan then looked at me, his eyes softened. He looked really handsome in that black tuxedo. We were busy looking at each other until someone broke the growing silence by saying: "you two compliment each other really well just like a lovely couple."

"That's sweet but no Mrs.Brown, we are not actually a couple, she is just my secretary. "
Ouch, some body please kill me, I felt so hurt by his words but somehow I managed to ignore what he just said although it broke my heart. She just smiled sadly at me and left. Even a blind person could see how much I adored him but he behaved as if I just did not exist. After some minutes I was getting bored being with this moody jerk and ruthless boss of mine, I wonder if he even smiles at times or always wear that fake mode of being heartless. Finally, the party was about to end, I felt sleepy when Xavier approached me, he asked me for a dance, I just couldn't say no to him, I then turned to Ryan who was nowhere to be seen to ask for permission seriously Cyndiana have you lost it, you want his permission ti enjoy yourself, I mentally facepalmed myself and went towards the dance floor with Xavier. While we danced, he asked me about my hobbies, my job and my family. He was really decent, just like a perfect gentleman unlike Ryan.

I was really enjoying our little chit chat until I felt someone's hands on either sides of my waist, his touch set butterflies to my stomach I instantly knew who he was, he carefully turned me to face him and smirked at me, I couldn't help but blushed at him. I hated the effect that he had on me , at that point of time I just forgot about Xavier, forgot about the time, forgot about the place, forgot about the people, for me it was only Ryan and me. It was the moment I always dreamed about, it was our moment. I looked at Ryan, and then placed my both hands on either sides of his neck, he pulled me even more closer to him. We were lost in time, he looked happy and satisfied, he looked flawless just perfect as I study him as we danced , he is tall with broad shoulders. He has short and black hair perfectly combed back. Our eyes locked with each other, his mesmerizing dark brown eyes looking straight into my hazel ones, we were quiet yet our souls spoke to each other. There was a spark which we couldn't understand but feel.
