Can We Dance For A Last Time?

Chapter 1

One week... One week I saw her for the first time and I still feel like I have butterflies in my stomach. One week since I met this incredible and beautiful girl. We're just friends for the moment but I want to be more. I have to let time allow me to be closer to her, she just broke up with her ex-boyfriend and I don't want to disturb her. Should I call her... No, not yet. I felt like I didn't see her for a few months whereas it was seven days ago. She's really adorable and interesting. I should keep my attention on another thing, cooking for example. I'm so hungry but there's nothing left in the fridge, I have to go to the supermarket near my house.

Just before leaving, I receive a message from my boy, James:

- "(Did you talk to destiny?)"

I'll answer him later. I'm really hungry right now. While I go to the supermarket, I pass in front of a Starbucks, it's impossible not to go inside to drink a coffee. Whereas I'm waiting for a coffee, I'm look at some cakes in the shop window, it really looks delicious, what should I take? I really don't know:

- What do you want sir? (I know this voice)

- Eh sorry I didn't still choose... Destiny?

- Oh Tristan, how you doing?

- Good and you?

- Very good, I'm really happy to see you again."

OK boy, breathe, just breathe and everything will be alright. I'm so nervous when I talk to her face to face whereas when I text her, everything is OK. Why am I so shy with girls? I have to find something intelligent to tell her, I don't want her to think I'm stupid. I want her to see the best in myself. She looked at me, probably waiting for me to tell something but she finally talks the first:

- "If you want, I have a break in ten minutes. We could drink a coffee and talk. Do you have something to do?

- Yes (what the hell is happening to you Tris) – No, I wanted to say no. I will wait.

- What do you want?"

I finally choose a cappuccino with salted caramel. In the meantime, I'm waiting for Destiny and check my Instagram account. A fan made a very cute edit for me. They're adorable, I love them so much. Me and the other boys really have the best fans in the world.

Ten minutes later, Destiny arrives with my cappuccino and some cakes:

- Oh, I didn't order a muffin.

- I bought this muffin for you Tristan. Don't you want it?

- Is it a blueberries muffin? Of course that I want it. Thank you so much Destiny, you're an angel (did I really tell her that?). Oh... eh...

- It's OK Tristan, thanks. You're really kind too."

We spend so many time to talk to her about her work at Starbucks and about my work with The Vamps. I promise her she'll meet the boys someday. Her break has to end and I don't want to leave her. I would like to invite her somewhere but I'm too shy and don't dare. Go Tris:

- "Destiny!

- Yes?

- Would you like to go to the restaurant with me tonight?

- Is it a sort of date?

- Yes, I think it is.

- I don't know, Tristan... I don't know you for a long time. Don't you think it's too early? We don't know each other. I really would like but...

- Don't worry... I forgot that I have to see the other boys tonight, maybe another time.

- Tristan, wait!"

I immediately leave the Starbucks and run to my house. I really feel stupid for asking her that. Some people were looking at us because they probably heard what I was asking for... I feel ashamed and totally ridiculous. I've never been good to flirt with girls, but Destiny is so special to me. Yes, I don't know her for a long time, but I know I want her to be my girlfriend. But I think it's totally finished, and I'll never see her again of my life. She's so beautiful, kind, I love her smile, her body is to die for, she deserves so much better than a boy like me...

The evening, I'm alone in my house, texting James about what happened with Destiny:

- "(Really Tris, I'm so sorry. Do you know why?)

- (No, I just wanted to have a great time with her, talk to her. I don't understand her reaction.)

- (What did you say?)

- (Nothing, I ran away.)

- (What! Tris, you shouldn't have done that.

- (I know, I'm a coward.")

- (No, you're not, you're just very shy with girls. It's astonishing, because you're not shy on stage with fans.)

- (Yes, I know. What's wrong with me James?)

- (Nothing, Tris, you're normal. But if you had staid with her, you would have known what she meant.)

- (Should I call her? She gave me her phone number.)

- (Why not Tris, think about this. I have to go. Text me again if you need. See you.)"

I don' know what to do right now. I think I'm not gonna do anything tonight, but I already miss her so much... Are there tears in my eyes?
