Jesse headed into the crowd, Lindy's hand in his. Love is strange was playing and they headed into the centre, bodies surrounding them in a haze of sweat and heat. But all they noticed was each other.
Love, love is strange,
Lot of people take it for a game,
Once you get it, you'll never wanna quit (no no)
After you've had it, (yeah yeah) you're in an awful fix.
Many people, don't understand,
They think love, is money in the hand,
Your sweet loving, is better than a kiss,
When you leave me, sweet kisses I miss.
Lindy's arms were around Jesse's neck and his hands were placed gently on her butt. They swayed gently, smiling in their own little world. Not wanting to come back to reality.
The next song was more music than lyrics and the crowd bobbed up and down together, going with the beat. Jesse had her skirts in his hand and their legs were wrapped together. They bobbed, feeling as if their bodies were joined by the music. He leaned her back and she rolled quickly. Her hair sweeping gracefully. She felt totally safe in his strong arms.
He spun her round and she followed with her feet, trying to keep up. The beat seemed to be getting faster and the steps more complicated but before she could panic she knew he was a strong leader and would make sure she didn't look like a fool. She spun into him, leaning into his chest and bobbing again. He placed his hands on her hips and circled them with his. She looked up at him and smiled. Neither of them wanted this to end.
After about an hour they were both hot and exhausted. They ran, hands joined outside into the rain.
"Wow this is a great way to cool off!" Lindy laughed. Jesse nodded drops of water falling from his hair.
"I guess we better get back." He said, leading the way to the car.
"Do we have to?" Lindy asked daringly. "Let's just, go somewhere"
Jesse stood in the rain, considering, "ok then mi Bonita!"
They drove for a little while, until they came to a field, they pulled in and as it was still raining they stayed in the car, with the radio on.
"That was so amazing, it was great," Lindy said, beaming
"Yeah it was, you can only dance that good with some people, that you're… never mind"
"That you're what?" she asked, tipping her head to the side, he leaned closer and whispered,
"That you're close to, but that's not allowed is it, mi Bonita,"
"I guess not," she whispered, leaning in closer still. "We shouldn't be here at all, no we're very, very, very bad" she kissed him, "we should not be here at all!" he kissed her again, hungrily.
I've been meaning to tell you,
I've got this feeling that won't subside,
I look at you, and I fantasise,
You're mine tonight
Now I've,
Got you in my sights,
With these
Hungry eyes,
One look at you and I can't disguise I've got
Hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I!
Their bodies pressed closer, Lindy slid back, leaning against the door. He moved closer to her, sliding along the seat. He traced his hands on the small of her back, down her leg, under her skirt; she untucked his vest top and slid her hands to caress his chest.
I wanna hold you, so hear me out,
I wanna show you what loves all about,
Darling tonight.
Now I've got you in my sights,
With these
Hungry eyes,
One look at you and I can't disguise I've got,
Hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I; I've got,
Hungry eyes,
Now I've got you in my sights, with those
Hungry eyes
Now did I take you, by surprise?
I need you to see,
This love was meant to be.
"Wait," Lindy said, breathlessly. Jesse slid back along the seat,
"I'm sorry," he said, looking at his hands on his knees, they were gripped quiet tightly. Lindy assumed the same position,
"No, I'm sorry, I'm the one with the boyfriend. I just can't I want to but I can't cheat on Jake, not like that."
Jesse looked up, "dump him then, just dump him."
"I want to, but I…"
"What, why not?"
"I can't dump him now, while we're on holiday."
"You could but you won't, am I just a holiday fling to you, screw with some guys mind. It doesn't matter, he's not like me," as soon as he said it he knew it wasn't true and wanted to take it back,
"Yeah that's exactly it! I think you're scum because you're poor and who would even care?"
"Well you are ashamed of me, don't even deny it!"
"Yes I am! But not because of you, because of me! It wouldn't matter who you were, I'm still cheating on someone with you!"
Jesse said nothing; there wasn't anything he could say. He turned the ignition and started the car, they headed back and the radio blared love Is strange, Jesse hit the button and they drove home in silence.
The next day Lindy woke early as usual and decided to go out into the sun, she needed to think. She wasn't ashamed of Jesse, was she? No, it couldn't be that, she wasn't just having a bit of fun with the Staff. No, she was different, or was she? She pulled on aknee lengthbeige skirt, a pale pink vest top and some wedges. She wouldn't be dancing today.
She walked along, past the cabins of some of the staff. She went to the lake and sat on the fence. A familiar face came up, Adriana.
"Hey, Lindy right?" she said, smiling, "mind if I sit?"
"Sure,"
"So you ok?"
"Yeah," Lindy said, wondering if Jesse had spoken to her.
"Yeah he did, you're certainly different, he thinks so anyway. I've never seen him like this with anyone. I mean he's been out with people. But I don't know he seems to act different around you, like he wants to impress you."
Lindy looked at her, "I don't know what to do, I don't even know who I am, or what I believe. I just feel sick, I want him but I can't have him, he says I could but I can't, it would be wrong."
"I know what you mean," Adriana smiled, "it's hard, for him you've got a choice, and its yours alone. I see that you have more to consider than simply what you want."
"My family, they would be devastated, ashamed, Jake, I don't love him but I don't want to hurt him, and Jesse, he would lose his job. I just don't think there's anything I can do, without hurting someone. I don't even know what I feel for Jesse, is it love? I don't know, what if it didn't last, I'd hurt, everyone for nothing,"
"I can't tell you whether you love him or not, love is a hard thing, but so is regret, and that's even worse than getting hurt." Lindy nodded, "well I know you wanna think so I'll see you around. I think you should talk to Jesse, but if you want to talk to anyone else, I'm always here."
After Adriana had left Lindy knew she was right, her and Jesse had to talk before they could decide anything. She ran round to his cabin. She walked straight in and there he was, kissing the blonde girl. Lindy stopped stock still for a second, then ran out,
"Lindy, wait!" she heard from behind her. But she didn't stop.
She ran as fast as she could to the main house, into the breakfast hall.
"Lindy, hey, I've been waiting for you," Jake said, pulling her chair out for her, "I've got something to ask you." Lindy sat down and smiled,
"Hey, thanks for waiting before you started, but I'm not hungry."
"Oh, I've already eaten, sorry"
"It's ok,"
"So can I ask you something,"
"Sure," Lindy said, frowning slightly. She didn't want to be her; she wanted to be at home, with her friends, never having known Jesse, contented with Jake. Suddenly Jake was kneeling in front of her, her eyes widened. Oh no, Jake, what are you doing?
"Lindy Green, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?" Lindy couldn't speak, she was in shock.
"I…"
A/N well if you want to find out what she says then review and I'll update, see told you it'd get different!
