Short story:
MY LAST DANCE.
EumieNova.
I WAS about to go to bed when a sudden compel of imagintation and a censure feeling to myself from the past flashes back. I'm still fatal and grievous! yeah these were the right terms to say.
It was one of the unforgettable and amiable days of my life. I was with my best suite. I really prepared for it. I need to contravene the occasion that it was also our schools batch graduation ball because the destitute mission for tonight was to win her.
I was about to enter the multitude when a fiery lady catches my eyes. I was able to discern her from the distance. She was very beautiful with the red long gown with a fantastic pace she does. She has the perfect ledge. She was with my best friend Annabel, and I have this deposition that my best friend was already starting her plan. They were on the pivot with my other schoolmate. I don't know perfectly if I'm prepare for this night but I have my little coffer inside my pocket to offer her.
I decided to devour some drinks offered. I might need it for the later awaiting event to dance with her. I don't wan't Annabel to make any move just to dint me over her. although I have the tension, I need to dwindle it. I appeared that my best friend was about to approach me when I turned.
"Hey Christian, finally you're here. when did you arrive? I was unable to notice you."
"I'm just right here trying to disgorge myself to start at her. She is just so beautiful. If you know what I mean." I said, while still staring to the girl who owns my eyes on that moment.
"I know."
She answered and showed a naughty smile. She get some drinks and was about to go when she turned back.
"Prepare yourself okay?"
I looked at Annabel. I perfectly know what she means and forethought the idea.
As I glance at my watch it was already 12midnight, numerous couple and group of students are already on the dance floor. I feel so odious because I really can't explain what I feel. It seems like I'm slain! I Should not obscure the event.
The time was just neat to tell her what I really feel. The perfect time I waited for so long that might lead me to be bequeath to my greatest love forever. I'm furious! why just can't I tell her and forget my fear and just be with her? I know that's not easy nut I should! It is now or never,
I stand up from I'm sitting, walked towards Annabel.
"I'm ready." I whispered in little shiver.
"Are you sure?" Annabel, asked.
"Yes? ye---s."
Annabel, hold my hands and say.
"You can do it. I can tell. And she likes you too."
I frown and stared at Annabel.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"It's just happen that actions can scream without words."
She grabbed me at my arms and dragged me to the center of the crowd where they're dancing extremely wild.
I didn't notice right away that Tori was already beside me with. I smiled at her with shy and she smile back. She doesn't have the idea how she let my heart jumps over to unending happiness with just a curve from her lips.
When suddenly the light was turned off and the music was out. I have to keep her safe that I need to hold her arms intentionally to protect from what might happen.
She fell into my chest. Having her near next to me really feels like heaven. I wasn't even notice others scream or even make a noise when the crowd became dark. It seems that everybody is aware of what will happen. After a brief moment, lights were randomly on and to our surprise we're the only person left on the middle me the dance floor. We were stuck on that situation. As I look at Tori she was staring at me with compassion. I don't wan't to put an end for all the happiness I feel during that moment. After few more second a song was being played and that was really a perfect song for me I should say.
I held a hand to Tori and asked in a very nervous voice.
"T-Tori will you be my first dance?"
She smiled as she give her hands to me and nod.
We are enjoying the moment as if no one is around. We move like wormwood while dancing to the slow beat of the music.
"Aaahh.. T-Tori?" I nervously said. I took a deep breath.
"Uuhhmm?" she asked.
"I have something to tell you..." she didn't responds.
"I... I... I..."
"What?" she patiently answered.
"I lo... I lov... I mean nothing. Yeah nothing." I would like to enunciate what I feel for her that night but I think it doesn't matter. As long as I'm with her., That was the best dance ever.
A week after the ball will be my birthday and part of it is to court her. But 2 days before my birthday I receive a call from Annabel informing me that Tori was passed away due to her long un-curable heart disease.
I don't wan't to be miserable anymore. I regret the fact that she never know what I truly feel. My love for her is like immensity without no end. And no one can enthrone her from my heart. She always lingers in me every time I remember that dance and the way she curve a smile on her lips. I grabbed my blanket, turned off the lampshade beside my bed and close my eyes. I never imagine that my first dance was also the last dance with her.
