"You know, Dom, even if we only got to dance once, I've been having a great time tonight. Thank you so much for this. I never knew that wearing a dress could be fun." Dom just smiled at her, glad to be in her company. They let their minds wander as they walked on in silence.
Kel was trying to think of something to say, but all that she could think of was how good Dom looked. She kept glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, not even trying to think now.
'Why is it that not matter how hard I try, I can only think of Kel?' Dom thought to himself. 'With anyone but Kel…" this was a problem Dom had run across a lot lately. 'Anytime I would talk to Kel, I'm tongue-tied like some fool.' He sighed inwardly, thinking of a way he could tell her.
They sauntered in silence for another minute before inspiration struck him, "You know, I'm glad Yuki picked me to be your date tonight, Kel" he said.
Kel blushed a little, "Yes, I don't think I could've had as much fun with anyone but you." Her heart started pumping a little faster as she scolded herself mentally for letting her emotions run wild, 'How long has it been since I lived with Yuki in the Islands?'
"No, Kel, you don't understand." Dom stopped walking, "I think everyone sees what we seem to be ignoring. You see, when Yuki asked me to take you to the dance, she asked me something else."
"Ask what was that, Dom?" Kel asked, fascinated.
"She asked if I liked you." Dom said, moving closer to her and taking hold of her hand.
Hearing this, Kel's heart seemed to jump to her throat, she was almost afraid to ask. "A-and what did you say in response?"
Dom replied slowly, "Well, I'll try and show you." He was smiling so wide as he pulled her close that Kel blushed even more, Dom wrapped an arm around her waist so that she was scant inches away from him. He put a hand up to her face and looked into her eyes. He waited for her to smile back at him before lowering his head slightly and kissing her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he put a hand against the back of her hair. They stood like together, oblivious to the world, or the ballroom full of people that they had left behind. When he finally pulled away he whispered softly in her ear, "Do you have any guesses of my answer?" He kissed her again as she blushed.
"You know, Dom, this is all very well," Kel said matter-of-factly when she had finally caught her breath and controlled her fluttering stomach. "But you never asked me how I felt." She looked up and was swallowed into the deep blue of his eyes.
"And how do you feel about me exactly?" he asked, a little unsure now, his eyes we flicking about, looking for anything to put his eyes on but Kel's perfect eyes, figure, or her beautiful, full lips...
She saw the paleness of his face and smiled sweetly at him. This time she kissed him, "Exactly the same way." Kel murmured, she put her hands in his hair and pulled him forward to kiss her again.
