No classes today so I managed to finish the second part of this chapter.

The song you are about to hear (I mean read) later on is titled Dancing in the Moonlight, by Toploader.

Chapter 6 part two! Enjoy! :D


We headed our way to the jam-packed shore, filled with many familiar people from our school. A huge bonfire was built on the center of the place, where many more teenagers swarmed to get free hotdogs and have a few talks and a few more hook-ups on the sand. I turned my head and saw Rixon and Vee having quite a good conversation by the bar. Vee was throwing her head back as she laughed, and Rixon was chuckling with her, holding up the glass to his mouth to hide his smile. Nora seemed to notice what got my attention.

"Well, that was fast," she said. I looked at her and saw her grinning. "Think its better we leave them by themselves?" her smiled grew wider.

"Good idea," I said before snatching a hotdog from the table and took a bite. "Want some?" I offered. She took my hand that was holding the stick and held it closer before taking a huge bite, leaving a stain of catsup on the corner of her mouth. I grinned. "You're not hungry, are you?" I asked sarcastically, wiping the stain off with my thumb and licking it. She looked at me, disgusted. I chuckled again before giving her another hotdog from the table. We went near the burning logs and I lied on the ground, hand propped behind me as I ate my hotdog. After a second, Nora sat down beside me.

We stayed silent for a while, finishing up the remains of our food. After a while, I threw my stick into the fire and took two cans of soda from the roaming waiter of the party. I opened them both and gave one to Nora before drinking up mine.

I watched her as she ate, as she drank, and as she glared at me for impolitely staring at her as she gobbled down her food. She threw her battered—yes, really battered—stick to the fire and drank on her can.

"So, after hooking them up, what's next in your plans for tonight?" she asked, nudging my shoulder with hers.

Actually, I don't have other plans. I thought we were going to spend a lot time to set them up together, but I was wrong. They didn't even need our help. "I only have one other plan in mind," I said, angling my head to look at her. "It's kind of why I wanted Vee and Rixon together."

Nora tilted her head in wonder. "What's that?"

I put an arm around her shoulder to pull her in closer. "Have you for myself," I whispered in her ear.

I felt goosebumps rise on her arm and saw her cheeks flush red. It made me grin. "I like it when I see you blush. I wanna see it more often, you know?" I said, making her blush deeper. I chuckled.

"You're abusing my innocence. I bet you're having fun,"

"Bet your life, then."

"I already have."

I kissed her then firmly on her temple, making her nuzzle her face on my bare neck.

"Cold?" I asked her, feeling the coldness of her nose. It's always cold here at the beach. The fire was the only thing providing heat for the party goers. Well, maybe it's better like this. Since majority of them are sexually active teenage couples.

She shook her head on my neck. Liar. "Guess I'll have to warm you up," she pulled away from me still blushing, knowing what I have in mind.

Not that excessive, I said into her mind, grinning. I pulled her in then, and lifted her chin give her a long, heated kiss.

I pulled away a little too abruptly, leaving her eyes still closed, lips still puckered, wanting more. I gave in, anyway. I want to kiss her more myself.

Suddenly, we became one of those sexually active 'teenage' (I'm not a 'teen' anymore) couples hooking up on the sand. And though it's what I want, Nora's not suited for this kind of publicity.

I pulled away reluctantly, drawing in a sharp breath." Let's do that somewhere more private,"

"Good idea," she said, moving to stand up. But I held her in place.

"And I mean next time, Angel," I brushed the hair out of her forehead and kissed it. She pouted, turning away.

I was about to say something flirty when a new song played through the large speakers made her jolt. The mature couples around us stood up and began dancing.

We get it on most every night

When that moon is big and bright,

It's a supernatural delight

Everybody's dancing in the moonlight…

Nora got to her feel and started pulling me up. "Patch! Come!"

"What?" I mouthed, scared of what I expect she was going to say.

"Let's dance!" she answered in a duh tone.

Oh no. Oh, God. Oh, God, take me now.

I felt weak then, giving Nora less trouble of having me pulled up, because my body easily responded to her instead of to my mind because I desperately willed myself to stay on the ground.

She began dancing then, clapping her hands to the beat, while I stood there, motionless.

"Come' on Patch!" she said again. "Dance!"

"I don't—," I was cut mid-sentence when Nora took my hand and spun herself. "Nora, I can't dance."

"Of course you can," she said, smiling, still swaying to the beat. "Or do you want me to dance by myself?"

I forced my body to put itself into dancing position, putting my left hand on her waist and right hand holding her left. "It's been decades since my last dance, Nora," I said, embarrassed.

She kissed my cheek then. "You're an angel, Patch. How hard can it be?"

"I know how…" I said, before she forcefully used my hand to spin her again. "I just, can't remember… how."

She chuckled. "Then don't remember, Patch. Let it go. Just dance."

I closed my eyes and did as she said. I felt the music enter my veins and let it move me. Sure enough, I felt my body shift, feet stepping on the right place at the right beat, and my hand started spinning her from time to time.

We like our fun and we never fight

You can't dance and stay uptight,

It's a supernatural delight

Everybody was dancing in the moonlight…

"Patch!" she yelled with a chuckle, but my eyes remained closed.

I continued to dance, slowly gaining lead to our movement. It went like that for a while; the song was so catchy I didn't have to think of the next step. It just got to me.

I heard her laugh and squeal and beam. She was enjoying herself so much. I smiled, wondering what she looks like. I was afraid that if I opened my eyes, I'd lose concentration. "How am I doing?" I asked.

"Incredible!" she shouted. I could almost hear her smile. "And you said you don't know how to dance!"

I shook my head. "You're right, I don't." I said, never opening my eyes.

"You're amazing, Patch," she said. I felt my lips stretch into a smile. I shook my head. "No, really! Open your eyes."

"No,"

"Open them!" she beamed.

I hesitated but did as she said anyway.

I wish I didn't, but it was too late to not see what I saw.

We were the only couple left dancing. Everybody else was at the sides, forming a circle around us, obviously enjoying the performance.

I started to slow down, not comfortable with the unusual attention.

"Don't stop," Nora whispered as she pulled herself closer. I remained speechless, but didn't stop dancing. I got back to the beat and continued what I was doing.

Dancing in the moonlight

Everybody's feeling warm and bright

It's such a fine and natural sight

Everybody's dancing in the moonlight…

On the last two stanzas, the people started to sing the song out loud, clapping their hands. "Go Nora! Go Patch!" I heard Vee cheer.

For dances like this, I sensed the DJ would know what to do. I finifhed the dance with a drop—NOT THE LITERAL DROP, it's like a term for ballroom dance I learned back then—simultaneously as the DJ stopped the song, preventing the fade part.

We remained that way to catch our breath, and hear the crowd burst into cheers.

"You're amazing," she managed through breaths. I grinned.

"I know,"

One voice stood out—Vee's—as she ran to where we stood. She was squealing as she approached, Rixon following behind her. "That was incredible!" She beamed. I lifted Nora's upper body then from our position, letting her hug her best friend. "Amazing dance!"

"I didn't know you could dance," Rixon bumped his fist with mine.

"Neither do I," I chuckled. "I can't believe I actually danced!" I almost shouted.

"We should do that sometime again," Nora smiled at me. She saw me frown at her before Vee dragged her to the bar to give her a drink.

"I'm never gonna dance again," I quoted a song. Rixon chuckled with me. "I swear I would not dance again,"
