like fire and gasoline

by I.Hope.You.Dance.7

Luke is fire; bright, destructive, and oh-so-addictively untouchable. The whole town knows it- and has always hoped for a good girl to calm him down. Selena is gasoline; indignantly silent until you decide to light her up. She's never needed anyone-especially a guy like him. Nobody expected them to fit together- not even themselves.

Act- 'stumbling back to normal'

It had been two weeks since 'the forgiving' and things were back to 'normal'.

"So what does belly-dancing require?" Luke asked, leaning across the piano on her stage.

Selena raised an eyebrow, a tell-tale sign that a sarcastic, Luke-related comment was underway. "Dancing."

"I know that. I mean, do you have to be a good actor?"

"Actress," she corrected, stopping dancing to stare at him, " And how does that make any sense?"

Luke shrugged, because he didn't know. "Why would it have to?"

"Because-" she stopped, looking genuinely puzzled, but then got her 'annoyed at Luke' face on. "Sense makes sense. So explain. Please."

This seemed like a terrible reason to Luke, but Selena had said please. In Luke's world, pleases always work. "You'd make a good actress."

Selena smiled, thoroughly complimented, and Luke sighed. Crisis adverted. Something in him denied that relief, yelling 'You've stumbled on something important!' Luke didn't listen, as always.
