Pale fingertips drift across her warm pink-tinted cheek. Dark lashes casting shadows across her face as she sleeps in content. Her slim fingers grip mine tightly as she shuffles closer to me in her sleep. I shouldn't have came here, I should have ne...
Can I say thank you to all those votes I recently got? Super thankful for you all who vote!
The loud beat of music fills my ears as the bodies are highlighted by quick changing lights. The air is heavy as bodies sway and move to each song. Each person letting go and allowing their bodies to move as they forget their worries.
As a group of four, we surround a table with drinks that Connor sweet talked an older girl to get for us. Each of us holds a shot of clear liquid and Connor begins to count down, his voice faint with the loud bass of the music.
"1

Drink!"
With that, we all flick back the drinks. Instantly, I begin to cough as the burn of liquid trails down my chest to rest in my stomach. Cole laughs as he smacks my back lightly. He hands me a drink to help chase away the burn so I can breathe normally again.
Turning, I glare at Connor as he laughs heartily. He has his arm swung over jasmine's shoulder as she rolls her eyes at his antics. He sees me glaring and wickedly grins as he grabs his girlfriends hand to drag her to the dance floor. Eventually I lose sight of them as the fall into the crowd.
Sighing, I sip my drink as I turn back to Cole who is already staring back at me. Raising an eyebrow, I begin to speak when he surprises me with a question.

"Want to dance?" His brown eyes twinkle lightly with the flashing lights. A small grin twitches at his lips as I sit there stunned. Not sure what to say at first, my eyes move from his hand to his face a few times. Before allowing myself to be held back, I decide to let it go and nod.
"Sure!" I grab his hand, which makes a full blown smile stretch his lips. He grips my hand in his firm grip and lightly drags me into the throng of people. Steering us to a gap in the crowd.
Stopping, he turns to me with a strange look on his face. Swallowing slowly, I step closer to him as I raise my hands to circle around his neck. His large warm hands settle on my hips as we begin to sway to the music.
The song switches to something intimate and slower. Our bodies brush lightly as we continue to stare at one another. I won't deny that being around Cole made me feel something. A faint flutter in my chest that felt warm. He was a sweet and caring guy, the type of guy who holds the door open if he sees you coming. The type of guy you can bring home to meet your parents. The type of guy who would love you forever.
He's the type of guy Jasper told me to find. A guy who can give me a human experience.
Yet, as I knew he should be the person I should end up with. There was still at the back of my mind, a voice telling me that there is only one person who will ever be my other half. The one person who is meant to love forever. And unfortunately, Cole is not the one for that. Deeply embedded in my heart is one and one alone.
