Elios smirked, but he immediately cursed himself when he saw a fuming Leiah
in the audience. "I'll be right back." Leiah stormed out, and Selenity
watched her go with him. "Go then, I trust you." He followed Leiah out,
and caught her arm. "Leiah, I am sorry!" She turned and glared at him
with venom in her eyes and voice. "I am not going to go out with you
again!"
"I never said anything about that!" Pulling her arm from his grasp, she started to sing.
"I thought I knew you
Thought that I knew you well
We had a rhythm
But I guess you never can tell."
He was aware that she was slowly backing him into the ballroom.
"Oh I learned early
Never to ignore the signs
You'll be forgiven
It ain't worth that much to my mind."
Elios was okay with that, but he was not okay with the fact that they would very soon be in the ballroom.
"Lovin' you (was) so easy
It's hard to say goodbye
But if it's the way it goes it goes
Just a page in my history
Just another one of those mysteries
One more lover that used to be
If you think you're in my head
You been seriously misled."
Now, they were in the ballroom, and they had a rather large audience.
"Loving somebody ain't your average 9 to 5
It takes conviction it takes a will to survive
I'm not somebody who commits the crime
And leaves the scene
But when I've been dissed
I don't spend much time on what might've been
I'm not about self-pity
Your love did me wrong
So I'm movin', movin' on
Just a page in my history
Just another one of those mysteries
One more lover that used to be
If you think you're in my head
You been seriously misled."
The king did not look to thrilled at the moment since his daughter was apparently in love with a player.

Then, she was gone, and he said; "I'll just be going now." And disappeared into his room.
Selenity had been seriously thinking about Elios for the last week, and she kept returning to the night that she had allowed herself to fall in love with him. Every time she spoke to others, they said the same thing, and today was no different. "Princess, when are you going to drop that guy?"
"I'm not!" She said sharply and took out her anger on the girl.
"People are sayin'
That boy is gonna hurt you
His kind of love is not for real
He's only playin'
Foolin' with your heart girl
But I know how he makes me feel
And I don't need any other proof
They just don't understand
They don't know the truth."
The poor girl was getting the brunt of it, and it was not even her fault!
"Momma says he's bad for me
Poppa says I'll be sorry
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
And all my friends doubt him
Tell me I should live without him
Everybody's talkin' my baby down."
Unfortunately for the girl, it had to be said, and Selenity was finally saying it.
"He's not like the others
Nobody wants to see it
They don't even wanna try
Judge a book by its cover
And you'll never know the story
There's so much more than meets the eye
Oh and I know his heart is true
I don't need anyone
To tell me what to do."
Selenity made a thorough point of saying that he was being judged by what another person said.
"Momma says he's bad for me
Poppa says I'll be sorry
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
And all my friends doubt him
Tell me I should live without him
Everybody's talkin' my baby down.
My sisters and my brothers
Tell me I should find another
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
Oh but they can't feel his touch
They can't feel his kiss
They don't know what it's like to be loved like this
I don't care about their point of view
'Cause it's understood
When the love is good
Nothin' else is gonna do."
Since she was in love, there was not turning back, and she had to make it clear that she had no intention of leaving Elios.

The girl stuttered until she was out of view. "I. I'm s. sorry, I didn't m. mean." Selenity shook her head. "I am the one who is sorry, I just couldn't hold it back."
"I never said anything about that!" Pulling her arm from his grasp, she started to sing.
"I thought I knew you
Thought that I knew you well

But I guess you never can tell."
