"Heh sweetie, I'd like you to meet someone" said dad then he gave me a kiss on the forehead, I'm not in the mood to talk so I just let mom and dad do all the talking, "I'd like you to meet the Reyes family" its the people they were talking to earlier "this is Mr. Drake and Mrs. Vanessa Reyes, they are our closes business partner, we've known each other ever since the company is being established, they brought their eldest son with them" dad said, "please to meet you may name is Nicholas Luke Reyes" its the cute boy Chelsea was talking about but I'm not in the mood I just shake his hand "Gabriella" I gave him the best smile I could give right now, "sweetie can you give Nicholas a tour of the house" mom said, "s..s..sure mom" I faced Nicholas "shall we go?" I asked him "sure thing" we left our parent behind and proceed to our tour....

I only took him to the places that is interesting I'm not in the mood to show him the whole house, plus a lot of people are inside, I took him to the pool, the tennis and basketball court and I also took him to the music and dance hall, lastly I'm planning on taking him to the garden, "it looks like your only taking me to the parts of the house that are interesting" I stop walking, "um... Are you angry?" "No, not really I think its better this way since a lot of people are inside plus I just want to get out of their co'uz its getting kinda boring, you know meeting different people then only talk about businesses" I smiled at him "I understand how you feel" he smiled at me "shall we go to the garden" he said "ah.." "I kinda figure you'd take me there last", I smiled at him then we started walking.

"your garden is beautiful" he complimented "thanks.." I shortly replied, its a full moon tonight it makes me want to just stare at the clear night sky, it feels like it can wash all the pain inside my heart, "beautiful huh?" I nod, "how many people have you met" I asked him "well your the 15 person, you?" "Your the first, I didn't meet any of my parents business partners co'uz I've been talking to my friends the whole time", then there was deep silence until he broke it, "is your friend the girl who kept staring at me?" He asked with a smile "y....yeah that's Chelsea my best friend, oh my gosh its kinda embarrassing that you saw us" he chuckle "it OK, your friend is pretty cute though" I smile because of what he said "are you trying go hit on her?" I sarcastically asked "wh...n.no its just that---" I didn't let him finish co'uz I burst in laugher "oh men, you've got it all wrong" "hahaha don't worry I'm just kidding hihihi" then I saw him smile "you have a cute laugh and a beautiful smile" "thanks" I shyly replied

Then a song played Its can I have this dance by high school musical

Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine
And let the music be your guide

"Oh I love this song" I said "I love it when Troy and Gabriella danced it" he said, then he held out his hand "can I have the honor"...

Won't you promise me?
(Now won't you promise me,
That you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing
(To keep dancing)
Wherever we go next

"Ah n....no thanks I'm not a good dancer and I've never dance before, so--" he cut me off "its alright" he calmly said "but what if i step on your feet?" "Then I'll try my best to avoid it"...

It's like catching lightning, the chances of finding
Someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling
The way we do

It took a little longer but I gave my hand to him, we dance but then I suddenly step on his feet, so I push myself but he grab my hand "ah..I think that's enough, I'm stepping on---" "it OK I'll guide you" the encouraged me, again he made me smile, the way he said it, it make me want to follow him...

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
(Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?

He puts my hand onto his shoulder while his holding the other one, then he put his hand at the below my arm, "Ok, one step forward, one step back, one step forward, and one step back, then turn around turn around, and again, one step forward, one step back, one step forward, one step back, turn and turn around" I kept following what he told me and I've been watching my every step so that I won't step on his feet

Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all

"You're getting it, you're doing great" he said "but still missing something" "what?" He touch my chin and he looked into my eyes, "you have to look at me in the eyes then dance with confid" he said sweetly

And you can't keep us apart
(Even a thousand miles can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is wherever you are

It's like catching lightning, the chances of finding
Someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling
The way we do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
(Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?

We are dancing and dancing under the midnight sky, this is the first time I've met him but how can I feel this comfort from him its like I've met him from a long time ago, like a love story of reincarnation....

Oh, no mountain's too high and no ocean's too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour, what we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe that we were meant to be! Oh!

It's like catching lightening, the chances of finding
Someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling
The way we do

The song is almost finish and were still looking at each others eyes, "you did well, Gabriella"

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
(Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance

We gave our final bow but before he let's go of my hand he gave it a kiss

With that the song is finished, "its thanks to you, Nicholas" he smiled and I smile "is it OK to you if I call you Ella?", No one ever asked me that before "sure I'd love it if you would call me that, no one ever calls me that, your the 1st" he chuckle "I'm honored", suddenly we heard clapping hands which made us turn our head, "m..m..mom?, dad?" "How long have you been here" Nicholas asked our parents, "long enough, that was a wonderful dance" said Mrs. Reyes "indeed" mom agreed, "well it was a fun night but we must be heading home" said Mr. Reyes, we walked closer to them, "um... Thank you for coming to my party Mr. And Mrs. Reyes and thank you Nicholas for the dance" he smiled and nod at me, "oh Gab you don't need to be so formal, call us aunt Nessa and uncle Drake, k?" "um... Sure aunt Nessa" she smile at me, "we'll show you the way out" dad said, "thank you, well son give your goodbye's to Gabriella" uncle Drake said "bye Ella it was nice meeting you and thank for the wonderful night" he said "Sweetie you should go inside the house its getting cold" mom order before leaving with the Reyes family

I had a painful night because what Alex said, I know that he doesn't have feelings for me but he didn't have to be so blunt about it I though I won't be able to enjoy this night, yet even so in a brief moment I was able to forget about that because of Nicholas...

I was just about to get in when something caught my attention it was Alex and his staring at me from inside the house, ho.....how long has he been standing there, he suddenly turn his back and left...

Wait did he.... Did he saw me and Nicholas dance, why is did he just turn his back at me?....
