First Dance by rosecsolace

Book two of The Walkers Series ~~~ I saw his hands run down his face as he placed his glasses on the table next to him. I walked closer to him, lowering my voice by saying, "You deserve someone who will cherish you. Not someone who will corrupt you." I said, my voice low. He turned around and looked at me, a pained look on his face. "Do you think that's what you're doing to me? You think you're just 'corrupting me'?" He asked, stepping towards me. "That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm corrupting you and then when you find a beautiful, perfect, sweet girl, you'll get to move on and be happy and have a family. You won't be with a girl who is a fucking skank, and can't even have children." I said, looking up at him as he walked closer to me. He stepped closer to me so he was right in front of me, putting his hands on my face and running his thumb over my cheekbones. "You are a beautiful, perfect, sweet girl, princess. Even better, you're my beautiful, perfect, sweet girl. I can't move on and be happy and have a family if it isn't all with you. I don't want it if it isn't you." ~~~ Hanna Fox has had her whole life planned out for her. High school, prima ballerina, then principal ballerina by the age of twenty.
