Nic's P.O.V
🌺🌺🌺

I can still hear the loud music from the inside after I grab a couple of drinks stepping outside. Back to reality  Nic! The lesson was i should have never run away from my problems.

"Cheers to that!"
I spoke to myself taking another drink of vodka.

"I've been looking for you everywhere ".

A familiar voice said right behind me. I looked back and saw John.

"Really? So how's your engagement? "

I smirked trying not to sound upset even though I really was.

"You got it all wrong. I won't lie I got engaged to Janice two months ago but that was my parents will. I broke the engagement long before I met you. I just didn't love her."

"That's okay! Why are you suddenly being defensive? What you say doesn't matter to me anyway because it doesn't work that way."

I said boldly trying
to hide what I felt for him.

"For me it doesn't.  I know this might sound absurd but the moment I lay my eyes upon you I know your the one. You just came out of nowhere and I don't care."

He whispered with hurt in his voice. I can see in his eyes he wasn't lying.

"If you don't feel the same about me. At least give me this one last dance before you walk away from my life."

He said offering me his hand.
The music begun suddenly,  he grabbed my hand firmly as we begun to Walt's, spinning circles and shuffling our feet to the slow rhythmic music.

His eyes were warm chocolate color, they cause my knees to buckle and my lips to quiver slightly.

It was getting hard to keep up with his flowing steps when he's looking at me. My dress was getting in the way and my heels making my steps clumsy or maybe it was just because I cant focus with him looking at me straight in the eyes.

It felt like the song lasted forever yet I never got tired from it. The sound of the music went even slower, the lights slowly fading as we dance under the moonlight.

He dropped my hand and before I could frown he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him.

I could feel his warm breath touch my cheeks as our face gets closer and closer. My lips trembled as his lips touched mine. I wanted to stop because I knew it was wrong but it felt right.

He pulled my hand  dragging me along with him in a lake not far from the base.

He stripped down his shoes and uniform and went for a dip splashing  toward me. I pulled down my dress since i was already wet and return the splash after I jumped in.

The cold water send chills down my spine. He went closer to wrap his arms around me.

"Run away with me"
He whispered.
