~ Ailyn's POV ~

Everybody had gone their own way so I decided to go get some water. I was the designated driver for the night since I don't drink. I gotta stay healthy and sober for track.

I got some water and decided to sit by the mini bar when the dude with glasses took a seat next to me. Not gonna lie, he's pretty fucking cute, but I'm not looking for anything right now.

"Enjoying the party Ailyn?" He said

"So far yeah! Brandon right?" I asked

"Yeah, but you can call me anytime" he said with a smirk. What a smooth fucker.

"I'll stick to Brandon," I replied with a smile

"So tell me about yourself, how old are you? What do you do?" Brandon asked

"Well I'm 18 and I'm in college," I replied

"Oouuu smarty pants huh, what are you majoring in?" He asked

"Dance, but I do track as well" I told him

"Dang you must be fast then," he said, "and no mean to brag but I'm a pretty amazing dancer myself."

"Really huh? There's no way the weight of those chains allow you to dance," I said

"You did not just-" he said and I immediately started laughing

"Plus I think I am a much better dancer than you."

"Is that a challenge?"

"I think it might be," right after I said that, "Yeah!" by Usher came on. Brandon took my hand and dragged me onto the dance floor

"Show me what you got," he said with a smirk, and just like that, I started dancing my ass off, not missing a beat. I just kept feeling the music and adding some tricks I had up my sleeve. You could tell the kid was shook, I guess he wasn't expecting this much talent from the cute little girl sitting down.

"Your turn," I said after a couple seconds, he started dancing with such good form and technique. He honestly surprised me, I did not expect him to be that good.

Soon, people started making a circle around us, cheering and clapping. Brandon and I kept going back and forth, surprising each other with our moves. I felt a rush of adrenaline go through my body. It felt nice to be able to dance my heart out and show people what I got. Once the song was over, he pulled me aside, "wow shawty got some moves huh."

"Told you I did, but you were not so bad yourself" I replied, he laughed.

"Hey let's go somewhere quieter, I know a great place." He said, he led the way and I followed behind him. We ended up on the rooftop, the night sky looked so pretty from up here. We took a seat and started talking again. We talked about everything. We talked about his career, his music, his dancing. You could tell the passion in his eyes, it was so cute. We also talked about my college life. I told him about track.

"Well I love dancing so much, but my love for track is bigger," I said, "the feeling of when you finish a race just excites me."

"I know how you feel, when I'm up on stage with the boys hearing the fans sing our lyrics, it's such an unbelievable feeling. It feels so unreal like I still can't believe I get to live this life, it's amazing." he said

"That must be so exciting! Having hundreds of people memorize your lyrics and love you guys!" I replied

"It is! Of course, there's always the people saying we're never gonna make it big. But that just motivates me to try even harder and not give up." He said

"Well some of my motivation comes from myself and my times. I'm always trying to beat my record at every meet, and whenever I don't I go even harder at practice. But my biggest motivation is the olympics, I've been dreaming about making it since middle school." I said

"Olympics huh? You must be hella fast," he replied, '' you've got to invite me to one of your meets some day."

"There's actually one in a couple of days, you can come if you want to!" I said excitedly, I don't know why I invited him, but it just came out.

"You bet I will, let me get your number real quick," we exchanged numbers, he put his name as "boyfriend 😘"

"Haha you're so funny, I'm gonna have to change that," I said while laughing

"Well that's what I'm trynna be" he replied

"Mmm not gonna happen" I said. Yeah sure he was cute and an amazing dancer and a great talker, but no. I had just gotten out of a really toxic relationship with my ex-girlfriend. It has left me with such heartbreak that I just can't trust anyone the same way I used to.

"Mhm okay sure, we'll see about that," he smirked.

We decided to go back downstairs to the party, I kept dancing the rest of the night alongside Brandon. This boy had done something to me, something that I haven't felt in a long time.
