Chapter 1-Reunited Once More
I was so incredibly nervous. Gwen and I? Why? Did they really want to torture us? When Bridgette, Katie, Courtney, and Lindsey had pushed Gwen towards me, I had wanted to turn and walk away, but instead I had walked forward and had politely asked her to dance. She accepted.
We walked out onto the dance floor which was filling up with other couples and as soon as we stood in our spot a slow song came on. Gwen and I both blushed, but she put hr arms around my neck and I placed my hands on her hips and slowly as the music began to play, we began to sway. Say something you idiot, talk, don't make this even more awkward then it already is. Gwen and I had broken up though, that was it, we were over and done, yet I was now dancing with her to an incredibly romantic song and sadly...I was enjoying it.
"You don't have to dance with me if you don't want to," Gwen suddenly whispered.
"No its okay," I said quickly. Gwen I could tell was just as nervous as me, I heard everything she said, she threw the game for herself, because she regretted what she did or because she had made a bet with my team, either way she had thrown away a million dollars that I know she definitely could've used.
"Well, its a nice song," Gwen said trying to make conversation. I nodded without saying anything in return, even though I knew I should've been talking to her. "Look Trent, this is too awkward, let's just go our separate ways and never look back," Gwen said trying to break away, but I didn't move my hands from her hips and she shot me a partly angry partly suspicious glance.
"Look, if you leave you know the other girls are going to murder you, so you might as well just stay and burrow through this awkwardness with me," I said with a faint smile. Gwen returned the gesture with a smile of her own.
"I guess you're right," Gwen said finally seeming to relax a bit more. The song stopped playing and a really sweet trumpet solo played and I smiled.
"nice trumpet solo," I commented and Gwen laughed.
"I thought you were only a guitar kind of guy," Gwen said and I shrugged.
"I am, but I know different instruments when I hear them, trumpets are important parts of jazz songs and everything," I explained and Gwen nodded.
"I know a trumpet when I hear it as well, but to me trumpets are nearly as romantic as a guitar," Gwen said softly and I kind of had to stop and process her words a few times until I finally got what she was saying.
"What makes a guitar more romantic to you?" I asked prying a bit.
"To me a trumpet is just a horn blowing out the notes, but the guitar it really carries the emotions and feelings of the player and makes the song sound so much better, anyone who plays the guitar is a true romantic and an amazing person," Gwen explained to me. The way she phrased her sentence I knew that I had fallen head over heels for her once more. She got why I played guitar, she got me and my music and appreciated them both, but was she really just saying that because it was her opinion or did she still have feelings for me?
"That's really cool Gwen," I whispered with a bright smile and Gwen looked up at me and smiled back.
"Well, I kind of said the wrong words in that sentence," Gwen explained and I stared at her in confusion.
"It sounded perfect to me," I replied and Gwen smiled and then her eyes locked with mine and we held each others gaze for a few more seconds before Gwen started talking again.
"I meant to say, 'anyone who plays the guitar is a true romantic and an amazing person-" Gwen paused as if uncertain of her words, but then a new confidence seemed to enter her and she started once more. "-You are a true romantic and an amazing person." The instant the words left Gwen's mouth I knew our whole breaking up was nothing, but the drama of the game getting to us both. I felt bad that Gwen had broken up with me, but now I didn't hate her or have a single harsh feeling against her, I loved her and wanted to be with her for a long time to come.
"Gwen-" My sentence was cut short when Gwen suddenly sighed.
"I'm sorry, that was wrong of me," Gwen apologized softly and I could see her trying really hard to hold back the tears that were ready to flow.
"No, it wasn't," I said quickly. She looked away from me, but I put my hand under her chin and lifted it until we were looking straight into each others eyes once more. "You were being honest and that's all I need from you Gwen, because now I know that the feelings between us aren't awkward or harsh, they're true romantic feelings." Before Gwen even could reply or anything I kissed her on the lips. It lasted only a few seconds, but still it was a moment I had been dreaming and hoping for, ever since getting kicked off. When we broke apart a smile appeared on Gwen's face and her eyes shone like stars in the night sky.
"Oh Trent," Gwen whispered and she wrapped her arms around my neck and now we were swaying in a hugging position. I rested my cheek on the side of her head and we just stayed like this till the end of the song, the song that was now the song that I would hear and always remember this moment. The moment I got the girl of my dreams back to being the girl of my reality.
