It just happened in a second really. A quick turn of the head and I was in love with her long white hair, stormy blue eyes, and creamy skin just like chocolate.
I had no delusions of course. It was just nice to fantasize. I knew she would never notice me. Not in this place. Not with these people more handsome than I. But none of them were worthy of her. Who could be?
I'm ugly. I have no false delusions about it. It's just fact. I'm a demon on the outside and whatever good there is in me is invisible to everyone.
When I teleport i spread a stench of brimstone so fowl that i couldn't teleport around her for fear she would be disgusted anymore by me.
I am barely human. I am deformed and she, is is more than human. And more than pure.
I couldn't believe it. She was coming to me? No. She was dancing to me. And I danced with her. To the music. It was pumping in our very veins. I felt electricity all through my bones with her. I was drunk. I was high. I was flying. I was with her.
It was fun. But it ended. I'll never forget the way she felt on me. Not even noticing the stares we got. Her, the loveliest creature. And me. Just a creature. I'll never forget her. She will forever hold my heart and passion. My lady love, I shall worship you from afar, my goddess.

He was different from the others. He was mysterious and foreign.
He mostly kept to himself throughout the party. Politely nodding when someone spoke to him.
He looked so lonely.
I just wanted to help him. Make him have fun. With me.
I was drawn to him. I couldn't stop myself from pulling him with me onto the dance floor.
The crowd parted a little to let us through. I turned to him and put his hands on my waist. He stared wide eyed at me, his golden eyes blinding.
I moved to the lazy beat of the music. Forgetting where I was. He moved with me, holding me, and for a moment there I saw Kenya. I saw us both there, dancing under the brightest of stars, with the wind blowing gently, into my hair. And he was there with me.
Then the music stopped, and we were away from each other. The day was soon to come, and I had a class to teach later in the afternoon. As I lay in bed, I still saw his eyes, and I still felt his hands on my waist.
