You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This

A ball was being held at the palace and all knights had to attend. Kel was less than thrilled. First off, she hated anything girlish for the most part. Second off, she had no one to go with. All that formal stuff was not for her. You would think that being a knight would mean that she wouldn't have to attend. Her only saving grace was that Raoul had to go too.
She pulled on the dress Lalasa had made her and put her hair up in a messy bun, leaving some hair in front of her eyes. Her mother had told her how to put on face paints, so she did that herself. It wasn't perfect but they only said she had to attend; they did not say she had to be the bell of the ball.
A knock sounded at her door and she went to answer it. In the doorway stood all of her friends ready for inspection just like always. She straightened some tunics and hose then gave the whole group the okay. Walking out the door Neal stopped her and smiled. "You look gorgeous." Before she could stop it his lips reached hers. She almost choked. Her heart pounded and her head spun.
***I've got this funny feeling
The moment that your lips touched mine
Something shot right through me
My heart skipped a beat in time***
He swept his hand in the direction of everyone else like nothing had even happened. She was perfectly fine with that. She smiled and continued walking. Even though she acted like she was fine her insides were screaming. She had become completely immune to Neal, but now all her old feelings were back.
"Kel!" Cleon shouted. "Come here!"
Relieved at a distraction she trotted up and started to talk to Cleon. She looked back at Neal once and quickly turned around. He was looking at her funny. Her mind started playing fantasies of her and Neal. Romantic walks and kissed in gardens. She quickly snapped herself out of it remembering that it was only Neal. Her best *friend*?
"You're acting weird Kel. Are you alright?" Cleon asked.
"Yeah, just a little bit out of it, that's all."
"Good." He seemed reassured and continued to talk with her and Merric until they reached the ballroom.
First thing Neal asked her to dance. She was a little unnerved by that, but said yes anyway. Everything was fine. He was just being Neal.
"I don't see why we had to come. Just because we don't have an assignment right now we're forced to come parade in dresses!" she said.
"Well, if you ask me, I think the dress is just fine." He drew her up against him and kissed the corner of her eye. She couldn't help it; she leaned up against him. He seemed to be dragging her around, like her legs wouldn't work. He pulled her chin up and kissed her again. She looked over and saw everyone staring at them curiously.
***You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinning around
And around
And around
And around***
Helplessly she cradled her head on his shoulder and danced. Her mind was screaming 'Run Away!' but her body seemed to think otherwise. He laid his lips on her hair, earning them more stares. People would think they were together.
Her friends in particular were watching them. Some of them had doofy smiles on and some were shaking their heads laughing! They were getting the wrong idea! Or was it wrong? She liked how she felt right then. She looked up at Neal and he took the liberty of kissing her once more.
***They're all watching us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe
We're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do
Baby kiss me again***
Then the song was over. He led her over to their friends and put his arm around her shoulder. Cleon gave her that 'Explain' kind of look. She shrugged. She didn't know what to tell him. She didn't even know what to tell herself. Did Neal love her? Was he just being weird? She didn't know what to believe.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Come outside?" She nodded and let him lead her to one of the gardens. He sat on one of the benches and pilled her against him. "Neal? What are you doing?" she asked. He couldn't just do this to her. Could he?
"What do you mean?" he said, turning her face and kissing her. This time she kissed him back, lost in his obvious passion.
***Everybody swears we make a perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it goes
Boy, you never moved me
Quite the way you move me tonight
I just wanted you to know***
"You want to dance again?" he asked. He didn't seem to want to talk about it.
"Neal." He had already started to walk away, but she wasn't done.
He whirled around nervously. "Yeah?"
"What's with you tonight?" She had to know. As much as she loved the
attention she didn't want it if it was fake.
He walked over and stroked her hair. "I just want to love you."

"You want to love me?" She was so confused. Since when did he want her? What happened to being in love with court beauties? "We're just friends."
"Would a friend do this?" He asked, kissing between her eyes, on her nose, and above her lips.
She shook her head slightly. "But you're sure this is what you want? I'm not even pretty."
He brought her against his chest, holding her tight. "I'm sure. And you're not pretty; you're gorgeous."
She smiled and nuzzled his neck. He started to twirl her around, using the faint music heard from inside. She stepped with him. She would have to answer to her friends' stairs, but now she could. So much for just being friends.
