His eyes went to his feet.
I could tell he was embarrassed at the way his cheeks turned red and his smile looked distressed.
Suddenly I had an overwhelming urge to take his hand. So I did. He looked up at me surprised that I had the courage to. I myself was surprised at my own boldness.
My hand found it's way to his face and I put one had on one side. The other let go of his hand and went up his arm to the back of his neck. He still seemed shocked, but I could tell he was warming up to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. We had gotten up to dance with the dozens of others and I felt like I wasn't different from the rest of them at all.
I finally wrapped my arms around his neck. He bent down and kissed my neck, but then he went back up to my face and kissed my cheek.
Eventually his lips found mine and I felt like I was a sweaty mess. His kiss was light at first but then I smiled into it. Then he smiled back. His smile was so adorable that I moved my hands onto his cheeks as I felt them lower from his smile. We kissed for a good five minutes and I couldn't tell if that meant we were dating, but I did not want to think about that now. He was here, I was here, and that's all that mattered. After I backed my face away from his I rested it on his shoulder. Swaying to the song that was playing. We didn't say a thing after that until I took his hand and went to the bar.
After four more of those mystery drinks the club started to close. I couldn't stand up straight, but Cole led me out and I left my car there to be picked up in the morning. He drove me to his apartment and I fell down on his couch. He carried me to what looked like a bedroom and he told me he would sleep on the couch in the other room.
"Cole?" I asked not really able to feel my lips moving.
"Yes Zee?"
" Can you stay in here with me?" I asked.
"Zee I'll..." He started.
"Please?" I batted my eyelashes because it always seemed to work in the movies.
" Okay." He said finally.
"Goodnight Zee" I could hear him say as I drifted away.
I smiled at him and fell asleep 3 seconds later.
