Cause and Effect

Part 41

A/N: Ally's dress above.

Dimitri

It was the night everything was set in motion. Alex was supposed to gain the other guards trust, while the rest of us kept watch. Mainly to make sure things wont interrupt the process of Alex getting closer.

Daniel and I walked in after Ally and Bradley did. Oliver and Elizabeth in tow. Daniel lead me over to the dance floor. His eyes filled with anticipation, and envy as he watched the people dance.

He turned around swiftly, catching me off guard. "We apparently have to do stuff together. Stay next to each other and shit like that." He grumbled, looking down. Not quite meeting my shocked gaze.

It hurt a bit to think that he doesn't consider me as a friend. Not even a colleague. He doesn't even like talking to me, or being in the same room unless necessary.

"Just... Don't touch me, is all I ask from you tonight. Okay?" His gaze did meet my eyes, and they didn't hold the usual angry glare. His eyes were practically begging me. It was strange.

Why would he be asking me such a thing? I would normally think it's because he hates me, but I don't think that's the case. If that was the case, he'd be pretending that I didn't exist. He'd completely ignore me all together, and go on his merry way.

I narrowed my eyes a bit but nodded none the less. Daniel let out a breath and walked towards the mob and dancing bodies. Me following after him. We were, after all, supposed to stay together.

We danced for a few minutes, Daniel just a few personas in front of me. And I could tell, he may be putting up this whole front, but I can tell he's extremely uncomfortable. Dancing in such a huge crowd.

A few minutes later, 'We Can't Stop' by Miley Cyrus began to play. A loud "YAS" was heard as Ally came bounding through the crowd, dragging Bradley behind her. Daniel noticed Ally, and began laughing. A certain loving, fondness being shown in his eyes. I wish he would look at me like that.

Daniel turned around, when a girl tapped his shoulder. And I had to admit she was very attractive. This girl had long blonde hair, with a little pink streak in the side. She was wearing a short black strapless dress, that hugged her curves perfectly, and black heels to match. Her face held, what looked like a little bit because of the flashing lights in the club, of make up. She also had a black headband, with a red rose placed on the side of it, to match her dress. She basically looked like a model.

Daniel smiled at her and waved. She leaned close to him whispering something in his ear, as he visibly tensed. He backed up a bit, which was a bit hard since he was in the middle of other dancers.

The girl placed her hand on his chest, bringing her body closer to his. Almost as if she was trying to grind her body against his. And it made my jealousy spike.

Only I should be able to touch him like that, even if he didn't want me to. I would actually have love behind all my touches. Not just because he looks hot, but because I actually care.

I tried to reach them, but all these other people were in the way. Pushing me back and forth as they moved to the beat of the music.

I looked from side to side, moving people slightly while muttering an 'excuse me'. When I looked up to Daniel, he was trying to get the girls hands off of him. It looked kinda hard to do since this bitch was relentless, and he had limited space.

When I finally reached him, I wrapped a arm around his waist, suddenly getting a idea. "What are you doing, get off my boyfriend!" I yelled at her.

She widened her eyes, and backed away looking embarrassed. Daniel matched her expression. Except a little confusion was probably mixed in. The girl narrowed her eyes, seeing Daniel's expression.
