Stuck in the middle.

Chapter 6

The next day everyone is talking about the upcoming dance. I have no idea what I am going to wear. An hour before it starts, I head to the cabin to pick an outfit. The only dress I brought was a pink and white striped dress. I decide to wear that. I put a white cover-up over it. Bell, Beth, and Julia come back to the cabin and we head to the dance together. The dance is held in a gym by the field. To get there you have to walk up a very large staircase, lined with trees. The four of us walk up the stairs and enter the gym. Inside decorations of all kinds hang from the the ceiling. It looks so pretty. I spot Jacob across the gym. He sees me and waves me over. I turn to the girls and say,"I will catch up with you guys later," then I walk over to Jacob.

"Hey, you look beautiful," he says,

"Thanks," I say blushing.

"Um do you maybe want to dance?" he asks.

"Sure," I say.

We jump around and dance to the song 22 by Taylor Swift. I'm having a blast. When the song ends a slow song takes it's place. He slips his arms around my waist, I enclose mine around his neck. It feels like we are in our own little world like nobody else is here. Nothing else matters. I rest my head on his chest and he tightens his grip on me. I feel safe in is arms. When the song ends, a fast song comes on. I feel slightly disappointed that our slow dancing is over.

I spend the rest of the evening having fun with Jacob and the girls. A little before sunset, they tell us it's time to head back to our cabins for cabin hour. On my way out I see Jacob leaning against the wall. I tell the girls I will be back in a second, and I walk over to Jacob. He remains silent until everyone leaves. Then he finally says," Well this was a fantastic evening."

"I will see you later I guess," I say.

He stand for a minute, thinking. Then he kisses me on the cheek and walks away. I stand for a minute and watch him walk down the stairs. Then I lean down to grab my purse I left on the ground. When I stand I see Jacob running towards me. "Jacob?" is all I can say before his lips are on mine. He kisses me passionately. He puts one hand on my face and he wraps the other around the small of my back, pulling me closer to him. My body is pressed up against his and I can feel the electricity between us. The kiss lasts forever. When I finally have to catch my breath. He simply kisses my forehead and walks away. He is gone before I can get myself to say anything.
