They sit just bar stools away, separated by the dance floor, with friends in between, trying not to be obvious. But, the look in their eyes gave them away. She glanced in his direction, his eyes were intent on her. She was giddy and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t hold his gaze any longer, and coyly looked down at the drink in her hands, smiling and shaking her head, sighing. She looked up and peeked again in his direction. His eyes met hers. She giggled and quickly looked out at the dance floor. It was intense. She hoped he would ask her to dance.
The boy exhaled heavily and put his hands on the table, keeping his head low. He pushed himself up and looked over at the girl again, ready to ask her to dance. It was too late. A guy walked over to her and she laughed as they spoke. The guy leaned close to her, putting a hand on her back. The boy sat back down on the stool watching curiously as the guy smothered her. She smiled shaking her head. The boy was relieved. But the guy was persistent and he could see she was perturbed. He debated getting up and saving her from him, but his courage wasn’t solid. Instead, he watched.
The girl was irritated and couldn't take anymore. She stood, turned and walked away. A hand grabbed hers and she spun around with fury. And then she smiled brightly as the boy asked her to dance. She nodded and he led her to the dance floor. They swayed and serenaded each other until the close of the night.
