dance with me

🤳.

♤♤ -- ♤♤ -- ♤♤

I swayed my hips to the beat of the song with the drink in my hand, my friends were dancing with me in the center of the party. The music flowed through my veins, moving my body as it played. I had just got out of a relationship, a relationship of 3 years. The relationship ended because he chose her instead of me. Of course I didn't want it to end but I was not going to wait around while he messed around with her.

My body slowly came to a stop as the music turned from fast to slow. I looked at my red solo cup and back up at my friends. I sighed and went inside where all the booze was, I looked around the packed house and saw my best friend making out with someone in a dark corner. I shook my head and smirked, finally reaching the kitchen.

I grabbed the vodka and poured it until it was halfway full. I smiled and took a sip, making my way out of the house again.

"[y.n]!"

I stopped in my tracks and turned to see who had called my name. Monsé and Jamal came walking up to me with big smiles on their precious faces, I waved and took another sip from my cup.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, smiling. I knew them well enough to know that they don't do parties unless one of them really wanted to go. Monsé sighed and crossed her arms over her chest, "Ruby wanted to come."

I felt my heart stop and my smile quickly faded. "Ruby's here?"

Jamal nodded, "Yeah, he said he really wanted to come for some reason." Monsé nodded in agreement.

"Oh.." I mumbled, taking a big gulp of my drink. Monsé looked at me confused and gently pulled the cup away from my hand. "[y.n] what's wrong?" She asked me, putting a hand on my shoulder. I forced a smile and looked at Jamal.

"We broke up."

"What?! Why?!" They both exclaimed, Monsé almost spilling the drink. I panicked and took the cup from her hands, simply nodding and taking another sip from my cup.

"Olivia." I said, the music going back to the real party music. Jamal shook his head in disappointment while Monsé growled, her fists clenching. I giggled and shook my head, "Guys, I'm fiiiine."

"Boo, it's ok to not be ok.." Jamal hugged me and rubbed my back, I hugged back and scanned the crowd to make sure he wasn't around. Monsé noticed and put a hand on my shoulder.
"He's probably dancing with Olivia or running from Jasmine." She said, I shrugged my shoulders and pulled both of them outside.

Smiling, I took both of their hands and started moving my body to the music. Jamal laughed and intertwined our fingers, Monsé doing the same. We all danced, eventually letting go of each other.

I squealed, Monsé and Jamal laughed and gave me space to dance. They knew this was my song to dance. Luna Llena played and I started busting out my best moves. I felt a pair of hands on my waist but I didn't care, I grinded against the person while they moved slowly side to side. 

I flipped my hair and moved away from the stranger. I started dancing on my own as I felt a pair of eyes on me, but this was my night.. I didn't care who looked and who didn't. All I cared about was finishing this dance and getting shitfaced.

The song finished, I smiled widely and chugged the drink down.

"[y-y.n].."

I froze up. Fuck. Maybe it wasn't him? It's probablythe drink taking a toll on me. Shit. Should I turn around?

I felt my body turn. It was him.. it was Ruby..

I started to shake, my eyes tearing up when I looked at his stupid face. He smiled and took my hand in his. I could tell my face was getting red, my palms started getting sweaty. Fuck, even after 3 years he still made me feel like jelly.

"[y.n].. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gave Olivia any of my attention. All of it should have been on you.." he spoke, his eyes sparkling as the moonshine came down on both of us. The music changed to a slow dance, I bit my lip in nervousness and hugged myself.

Ruby's smile faded, he took my hand and put his free one on my waist. I moved my free hand to his shoulder, looking anywhere but at him. I heard him sigh as we danced.

"I miss this. It's only been a day and I already miss you [n.n]."

I kept quiet, feeling myself loosen up.

"I miss your late night calls and texts, I miss your perfect voice, I miss when you would sneak me into your house so we could-"

My eyes widened and I smacked his shoulder.

"Ruby!"

He smirked as he moved his face closer to mine.

"There it is."

I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever you're trying to do, it isn't working Ruben."

"Yes it is."

"How?"

"Because you're talking to me, looking at me, and dancing with me."

I blushed deeply and hid my face in the crook of his neck. I felt him freeze up for a split second, but he loosened up and continued to dance. I moved my face away and held both of sides of his face, making him stop moving.

I looked in his eyes and he looked in mine.

"Are you gonna kiss me or not?"

Ruby smirked.

"Gladly."

We kissed and the music just disappeared, everything disappeared. It was just us, nothing else mattered when I was with him. All of my worries and fears were just.. gone.

We pulled apart and leaned our foreheads together. Ruby hugged my waist while I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.

"Amor, please. Please be mine again. I hated seeing you all up on that guy like that.. you're mine." He pleaded, his eyes filled with jealousy. I bit my lip and slowly nodded. He smiled and kissed me again.

"I love you [y.n]."

"I love you too Ruby."
