In the Heart of John Laurens

Pt.8 Dance the Night Away

I finished the song. Alex applauded, Lafayette smirked like that was his plan.

Lafayette's POV

That was my plan. I knew Alex loved music. Your welcome turtle boy.

Johns POV

I felt so happy. "Muffin man!" I said happily. "Your turn!" He didn't answer. He was asleep on Lafayette's lap. I face-palmed. It was 11:30. I sighed. "Maybe you guys should go back to your house. "Yeah" Laf sighed. "I better get this big cutie home." 

We waved them good-bye and now I was alone. With Alex. I blushed lightly. "So." I said. "What should we do now." He gave me the one minute sign and grabbed something from under his bed. It was clue. I laughed. "No seriously man." I couldn't keep it together. "I am serious!" He said not seriously which made me laugh even harder.

After I got it together he finally said. "Alright, alright. While you were dying over there I found something for us to do." "What?" I said with my arms crossed and a smirk on my face. He went over to his phone and started to play some songs on shuffle.

"Let's dance!" He smiled. I laughed and started singing to the songs while Alex awkwardly danced to them. "I remember that night I just might" Alex cut me off. "Rewind!" I fell off his bed laughing. In fact, I missed half of the song laughing. "Come on John!" Alex said. "I miss your beautiful voice!" "I'm trying!" I laughed. 

He helped me up. He put his one hand on my waist and the other in my other hand. It felt like we were dancing underneath the Mexican sky, then reaching for margaritas close to midnight. Why yes I do like Fall Out Boy how did you guess? "Are you ok?" He smiled. I was still giggling a little. "I'm fine." I said. He pushed one of my curls out of my face. "Your hairs cute you know that?" I blushed. "T-thank you." I managed. 

Then I saw something out the window. It was a little flash. I frowned. I knew exactly how it was. "What was that?" Alex asked. "The person who said he left an hour ago." We both frowned. "After you." Alex said when we went to open the window. I opened it with pride. The gay kind.

"LAFAYETTE!" We both yelled. There was a scream. "Mon amour!" I heard. "We've been spotted!" Classic Lafayette. Being a annoying spy. We heard them run away. Idiots. I still like 'em though. We always do these kinds of things to each other. It's like a joke almost.

Alex and I started ranting about it for about half an hour with our music playing in the background. At about midnight or so my favorite song came on. "I may not live to see our glory..." I started humming. "I love this song!" I told Alex happily. It was more of a slow song, but a meaningful one. Alex stood up. He extended his hand.

"Would you like to dance?" He smiled. I was speechless. I've slow danced with anyone before. No one really wanted to dance with an ugly gay kid. "I-I d-don't know how." He smiled even more. "Then i'll teach you!" He said happily. "My dad works in theater so he taught me how to dance." "Ok." I said.

I stood up, put my hands on his shoulders as he put mine on my waist. "Now step slightly foward and slightly back." I did and so did he. This felt so romantic. His eyes sparkled, his beautiful brown hair was in a pony tail.

 He pulled another curl back. "I wish I was as pretty as you were." He said as he lightly kissed my cheek. I blushed hard. "Right back at you." I mumbled. He smiled. He pulled me in and twirled me onto the bed with me on top of him.

"I'm so tired..." I said. He laughed. "Let's go to bed then." Then I realized something. "Shit I don't have a sleeping bag!" I didn't know what to do. He couldn't possibly expect me to... "Well then get in the bed then!" He said while taking off his shirt to show off his sexy abs. I couldn't blame him.It was an 70 degree September night.

I tucked myself underneath the covers. He wrapped his arms around my body. I blushed. "Goodnight Alex." I smiled. "Goodnight Johnny~" He said what seemed to be lovingly. I was tempted to say I love you but I couldn't. I just didn't know how. I wish I did. 

First off I have never slow danced before because i'm single. I just tried to think of what people looked like when they slow danced. Sorry I'm an idiot. Second off: 2 chapters in one weekend? You bet! My lazy ass just wanted to write all day! I hope you like it! For me Lafayette is such a mood because my friends are dating dudes and I'm that one friend. So yeah luv y'all! ❤️❤️❤️ (Sorry for no pic. My parents would murder me if they found more lams fanart on my phone and stuff)
