You Give Me Butterflies (Discontinued)

What A Wonderful Night

Btw the picture is me blushing. I thought it was only in the cute cartoons, but I guess things work out sometimes.

Leah's P.O.V.

I walk into the gathering hall at church, and I see Brian along with a few people from our group. Brian looks at me and smiles, and of course, I smile back. I give the girls a hug and my mom gets a picture of me and Brian. 

We set off, the boys in the back and the girls in the front. My mouth hurts from laughing so hard on the way to the restaurant. When we get there the rest of our group yells to us from the party room and we go up to greet them. More pictures are taken and we all sit down to order. Brian and I sit with Clare and Daniel and order pizza. We also order breadsticks, yes breadsticks they are very necessary. We had to remind everyone to keep quiet multiple times, which was a little annoying. I couldn't hear myself talking, that annoyed me the most. But I love my group a lot and we have been able to bond over a lot. Ok enough of that sentimental stuff. We haven't even got to the party part yet! Let's go!

Once we were done eating we all got up and went to the different cars to be driven off to the dance. We were really hoping it would be great. To our surprise, we saw that it was themed "Paris". They put up cute little sceneries of Paris for taking pictures.

It was kinda boring just waiting for someone to go out in the middle of the dance floor to get everything started. Out of nowhere someone shouts "Leah should go in the middle!"

Um, what! no way! I can't go out there. I would totally embarrass myself...

"Leah, come on, just try it!", brian says as he puts his arm around my shoulders.

I look out at the middle of the dance floor and drag brian with me as I go out. I start dancing a bit and make him dance with me. More of our group comes out until we have 25 people in our group dancing. Eventually, the middle gets filled up and I'm tired of dancing. Brian and I just sit in the back and talk a while. All of a sudden, in the middle of our conversation, I have a little realization.

Why is my heart beating so fast? ...What is this feeling, why couldn't I feel it this much until now? What if I-

"Leah! Can you hear me?'

"Huh? Oh sorry, I spaced out there."

"It's alright, wanna go back and dance?"

"Uh- yeah- s-sure..."

We go back out and start dancing when he grabs my hand and starts to spin me. I get scared and almost fail the spin. Luckily, I catch myself and don't fall, but it was still embarrassing. I try to act like nothing happened when Brian looks worried.

"Are you ok? You seem off."

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm just not a very good dancer I guess."

"I'm sure you're better than you think."

"I don't think so."

"I thought you said you know how to waltz?"

"Well, besides waltzing,  I mean."

"Well, how about you teach me?'

He says this at the "perfect" time. The song "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran comes on and everyone grabs their partner. He grabs my hand and places the other on my waist.

"What's next?"

I go along with the movement and teach him the steps. After a while, he gets the hang of it and we start dancing like nobody else is in the room. It was like we could dance forever. Right when I thought we had something, the song changes and we separate. We just stood there awkwardly and tried to talk but it was way to weird for that.

(I forgot to mention! Carly danced with Logan! The guy she likes, they are too cute. Yeah, she changed who she likes because she realized she didn't have much of a chance. Carissa danced with Clay, they are just friends although Clay really likes Carissa. Clare danced with Ryan, yes she changed her mind as well. Carmela danced with Nicholas, and they were so cute. I was told they kissed, but I don't know for sure. Back to the story.)

Clare(The other one, yes there are two, you will find out her significance later) decided we should head off to the afterparty. On our way out, Brian and I held hands. It was cute I admit but I still am not completely sure of my feelings for him. It could all be in the heat of the moment.

When we get to Clare K's(This is the other Clare that isn't part of the C Gang) house, we all changed into more comfortable clothing and played some games. We played truth or dare, and Clare Kube was dared to tell the people she trusted who her crush was. She told me and Clare H.

I have never been more hurt in my entire life. She like Brian. MY Brian. I wouldn't stand for this, I said I would be right back and I told the C Gang about the problem. They weren't happy with Clare K. I knew she saw how close Brian and I were and wanted to ruin it. She said we looked cute together but yet she said this. I don't understand why she wanted to ruin my chances. I sat over by the big window that looked outside and stared at the stars outside to get my mind off of it.

"Leah? You doing ok?" Brian asks as he sits next to me.

"Yeah, I'm fine just a bit confused, after something that happened. I'm trying to get my mind off of it."

"Oh, mind if I help?"

"Yeah, sure-"

I am cut off with his lips pressing against mine. I didn't know what to do so I kissed back. I felt like I could stay like that forever. But my lungs needed air so I broke the kiss.

"What- why did you- what just happened?" I exclaim confused.

"I think we kissed but I can't be sure..." he says sarcastically.

"I know what happened, but why did you kiss me?"

"I could so tell that you like me and I like you too. So naturally, I took my chance."

"oh.. well- I just... um.."

I felt as if I could faint. I didn't know what to say. All I could do is let my cheeks heat up.

"Brian, your ride is here!" Clare K calls from the other room. 

"I'll be right there! I gotta go... But I'll see you when we get back to school. Bye."

He leaves a little kiss on my cheek and gets up to leave.

"Wait!" I say as I get up. I grab his face and pull it into mine. I kiss him gently on the lips and say goodbye. I don't know why I did that. I just couldn't help myself. My heart longed for it like I haven't longed for anything before. I had hopes for us, but I know my parents won't let me date him unless he asks their permission. Of course, I could tell him, but his parents probably won't let him date either. So who knows what will happen to us.

Only the future can tell.

Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed this romance chapter! It is really cheezy I know but I am writing this while I wait to do finals so I didn't know what I was doing. I was picking things out of my brain without trying so it's not very good. I hope you all are doing well, and remember! Think happy thoughts! I love you all!
