Hey! Thank you again for the reviews. I'm supposed to be getting ready for
my friends birthday party but what the hell! What she doesn't know won't
hurt her. (wink) For my health this chapter will be longer! Yay! Btw here
is a pic of Sere's dress. I just typed in little black dress and picked the
first dress I saw. Great decision maker... Serena's "" = speech

Down with Love
Chapter 6
Can I have this Dance?
----------------------------------------------------- (sere pov)
Oh!
Hello! Welcome back! Ok, let me drop the act for just a second.
When was the last time you were a victim of an awkward silence? Really? Well, I'm experiencing one first hand. It is the scariest thing you will ever encounter. On top of the lovely silence is the most excruciating sexual tension you can ever imagine.
I hope we make it through this night.
"So...you say you're an author?" he kept his eyes on the road the whole time. I have to admire his driving skills but I hadn't even seen him steal a glance at me! Am I that horrible to look at? MEN!
"Yes, Yes I am. And you work for...NASA! That must be very interesting." God was this conversation dragging. I hope I don't break out in uncontrollable sobs from how horrible this tension is.
"How about we stop at that little restaurant over there?" he motioned over to a packed bar. I didn't have the heart to embarrass him and tell him what it really was. "That sounds like a good a place as any to start." I gave him an encouraging smile and we were off. Mina had taken me here to celebrate my book being such a success. To make a long story short I got piss drunk and ended up dancing on the tables and swinging from the ceiling fans yelling like Tarzan.
The good news is I'm still allowed there and I made 136 dollars from dancing on those very tables... The bad news is the hangover that followed my call of the wild adventure.
-----------------------------------------------------
We entered the bar with the music vibrating off the walls. On the dance floor people were swinging and swaying to the music. WE pushed our way through the people gyrating and made our way to a table.
I sit and tap my feet to the music. I love this song! I won't force him to dance though. I'll just play it cool and act like I don't really give a damn. I would not ask him first! A hand made it's way into my view and I looked up to find it's owner.
"May I have this dance?" Before I had the chance to answer he was sweeping up to the dance floor. For a guy like him I didn't think he had any rhythm.
(It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing)
He twirled me around and brought me close to his chest. "Catcher I'm not wearing the right dress to swing!" He smiled like he knew a big secret before he threw me up in the air. "Just wing it, Serena!" he chuckled at the shocked look on my face. I laughed along with him and....
Let it go.
----------------------------------------------------
(doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
The man could swing! Don't let anyone else come up and tell you other wise. I thought I was the only one who knew some of the moves he was doing. He even taught me a few tricks! Mina would throw a fit!
(It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing...doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah,
doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
By now the cord had moved out of the way to make room for us. This was so cliché but who was I to argue? More room for us. We used it to our advantage. I just let the music take me there.
(It makes no difference
If it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm
Everything you've got
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah)
--------------------------------------
We went I showed Catcher the best sites of New York. Sometimes he would point out things I hadn't even noticed before. Of course it was just by accident I'm sure. He said he hadn't lived here before he went into space. And you know what? I believe him.
------------------------------------------------- (mina pov)
I walked into the kitchen after awaking to the smell of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I padded into the kitchen wearing one of Andy's business shirts.
"Mmm. That smells delicious!" I froze in my tracks when I saw what he was wearing. He was wearing an apron.
ONLY an apron.
I almost giggled at the site it made to see his white little butt poking out from under the bow wrapped around his waist. If only I had a camera. This moment was golden!
It was just too good to be true. He obviously hadn't heard me so I snuck back into the room to get my purse. I know I still had some film in there from those incriminating pictures I got of Sere when she was drunk.
I said she would pay. And she will.
But I have to hurry before he realizes I'm awake. Aha! I always go digital for the dignity. I don't like the idea of someone ever getting to see these pictures. I can put them on my computer as soon as I get home.
I scurry back to the kitchen to find Andrew with his back still to me. I snap a quick picture before he can turn around. He freezes like he's seen something. What is wrong with him? Shit! I forgot to turn the flash off! Stupid Mina! He must have seen the flash.
He slowly turns around with a look of panic in his eyes. With a pan in one hand and his spatula in the other this picture is too good to pass up! (SNAP)
I giggle and run away while he is still in shock. I quickly hid the camera and hid my purse for good measure. He would never find it. I laughed maniacally and padded back into the kitchen to find....
Andrew in the same spot and pose as I had left him.
I march past him and grab a piece of bacon before kissing him on the cheek. Life just got better.
----------------------------------------
After Andrew got over his stupid spell we finally got a chance to talk.
JUST talk.
He told me about hobbies and what his job was like while I told him stories of when I was little and how love goddess management was started. We talked for what seemed like hours before I decided it was time for me to go. I gave Andy I good bye kiss and gathered my stuff.
I never even made it out the door.
--------------------------------
There! I must get ready. I must admit it was hard putting this chapter into words. My mind kept wandering off but I finally got my ass back on track! Sorry if it's a little boring. Dating isn't my forte I guess. Btw digital cameras...probably not invented back then...but I don't care! lol. I know computer and aprons were. Don't own SM the song (it don't mean a thing) or digital cameras. (Tho I have one of my own...)
