Without waiting for an answer, Jay held Emily's hand & took her to the dance floor. Emily felt a current passing through her body as she felt his hand. She couldn't resist him & walked with him.
When couples started dancing on his favorite tune, Michael was about to stand to go to Emily & ask her for a dance. However he saw Emily going to the dance floor holding Jay's hand. He felt disappointed. It was his fault as he didnt know how to express his feelings for her. Otherwise she would be walking with him to the dance floor. He sat back to his chair & saw them starting to dance.
Jay put his both hands around Emily's waist & started to move to the rhythm. Emily was hesisting.
So Jay held her both hands & put them around his neck & started dancing.
It was the most beautiful feeling Emily felt in recent times. She had received so much respect tonight. She was dancing with one of the most successful businessmen of her city. The distance between both of them while dancing became so narrower that she felt his warm breaths on her cheeks & neck. She was so much lost in the dance, that she even didn't recognize when the song ended.

" Thanks for such a wonderful dance". Emily came into her senses when Jay told this & planted a soft kiss on her cheek.
Emily blushed & said good bye. She went towards her friends.

"You are so lucky that you got a chance to dance with him" one girl said enviously.

" Have you got his cell phone number? Give it to us too. I want to be his girlfriend" said another girl.

" Go & propose to him already. Your life will become so successful if you marry him" one girl advised Emily.

Emily didn't reply. She hadn't thought anything about Jay yet. But she was excited already with his memories. "What am I thinking? He and I are no match at all? Why would he date someone like me when he can get whoever he wants?" Emily sighed.

Suddenly she remembered Michael. She didn't see him this whole time. She moved around to find him.
It was almost 12. So everyone said good bye & went home. Michael came out of the washroom & came out. He saw that most of the people started leaving.

"Hey Michael, where were you all this time?" he heard Emily's voice.

"I was here only. It was you that didn't see me." Michael thought & went towards her.

"I was talking to an old friend" he lied to her

."Let's go as it is getting late." Emily was in a hurry.

They both came out of the gate & Michael was looking for a taxi. Most of their classmates had cars so they left immediately. Emily sighed & looked towards Michael. " he can't even afford to buy a car"

Emily never thought about Michael in that way before. But after being with Jay for 1 hour, she didn't know what happened to her mind? Suddenly Michael's clothes were looking disgusted in her eyes.

He even never gave her a gift. His house seemed the worst house to live in whole city as she thought continuously while seeing Michael running from here & there looking for a taxi.

Michael always gave his best to make Emily happy. As he was very poor, he wasn't able to give her any expensive gifts but he always gave her roses every morning they met. He used to borrow notes of her & wrote his feelings on the last pages & would give back to her. But he never told her that & even didn't get her reply.

Was she even looking at his written feelings? He used to think that. He had decided that one day he will be so successful that he will make all her wishes true.

Michael saw a taxi which was standing far in the dark. He looked behind to see Emily standing on the road & said in a gesture that he will go bring that taxi. He was feeling bad as he kept Emily waiting for so long.
