The Love Song

Chap Three: Sway.

As soon as I went out Adrian shifted to make me some place and I was stuck in sitting next to him only, Amber seemed happy about it because she winked at me and then resumed talking animatedly with everyone.

I felt so uncomfortable sitting around the and every time Adrian shifted and his arm brushed mine, a ripple went through me and I shifted farther away from me, I seemed like a stupid outsider only answering when asked but Adrian seemed so natural, he smiled, laughed, conversed, ate, and looked so damn good for his own good, I really wanted to have him all to me, the thought just popped in my head without any signal and I froze.

"Ok, I'm going to take my bride to dance." Jason announced and I saw Amber look at him with pure adoration and smiled at them, they danced like two people who couldn't keep their hands each other yet they knew their hearts were one, I was literally staring at them when Adrian caught my attention.

"So you are the famous dodo." Adrian said and I shrugged.

"Amber calls me that, I don't know why." I told him but smiled.

"Well I do, she told me that once in your maths lecture you were staring at a guy called 'Micky' and your teacher asked you what 2+2 is and you said 5." I went beat red all over and when I looked at him he laughed suddenly.

"It wasn't my fault; I thought he had asked what 3+2 is." I mumbled and when he tutted, I blushed.

"What?! He was hot." I mumbled and Adrian grunted.

"Still! He couldn't be hot enough to make you forget what 2+2 is!" He said and then he started laughing at the mere absurdity of it.

"It seems like I know you for so long, all Amber ever talks about is you." He said and then again he gave me that smile and I stared at him, he was sitting so close to me, I could feel the warmth coming out of him and I felt ... overwhelmed by sitting with him like this, sharing my embarrassing moments and then laughing at them.

"I had no idea you were her bridesmaid because she always called you either dodo or Tulip." He said and I sighed, I would have to kill her for calling me that in front of him, apparently she liked this name too.

"Yeah well, she doesn't like my name much and you know why I'm dodo, my mother wanted to name me Tulip so that's why she calls me that."

"That's funny, I think your name's really beautiful." Adrian said and to my chagrin I blushed and he laughed again.

"You never guessed I could be the best-man?" He questioned.

"I haven't known you long and anyway she and Jason always called you Andy, so I couldn't connect." I smiled at him.

"I hate it when someone calls me Andy and apparently only Jason and Amber does, that's another reason I want to wear that pink tux." Again at the mention of the tux his mouth curved to a wicked grin.

"Oh, well Amber will kill you; I can assure you of that." He laughed at that and then pointed to his chest.

"I'm not that delicate." He put in and I remembered how he had behaved when he had had that injury.

"No believe me I know just how hard you are." I replied back. And then I saw the twinkle in his eyes, he looked at the dance floor and then at me.

"Come on, let's go dance." Adrian said suddenly and my mouth went dry.

"No, I can't dance." The thought of him holding me ...

"Hey it's all in the leading, come on dodo, it's your day." So smoothly he just swung me out of the seat and led me to the floor.

At that very moment when Adrian made me face him, the DJ changed the track and suddenly the whole club was filled with Michael Bubble. Adrian smiled and said,
