Natasha arrived early at the Patterson's house, as she had agreed to help her friend with some preparations to wait for all the staff. They owned a large and imposing house. The parents were scientists and were able to earn very well from their research. Patty was thinking of pursuing their parents career, but not so much Freddy, he was very smart, but it seemed that the world was small for the boy. At the age of twenty he had not yet met, while he loved to hold parties with friends. The preparations were ready and some young people had arrived.

"Natasha, how are you handling everything? You know what I'm talking about, don't you?" Patty was always very worried about her friend and tried to help when she was in trouble, followed her relationship with Ricky from the beginning and never had the courage to give an opinion about it, but clearly saw how bad this dating did to the brunette.

"Look, I didn't measure the consequences, and my relationship with Ricky has gotten out of hand. There was no love, I don't know what I feel anymore. I just know I don't want to see him anymore. I hope he leaves me alone. I want to start my life over. The Latin girl seemed determined on the subject. Something seemed to have changed inside her.

"And how do you think to do that? Have you got a plan?" Natasha turned to the door and found Edgar who had just entered with Kurt, her friend followed her with the look and the smile of both became very clear to the blonde.

"I'll be back!" Natasha announced heading quickly towards the door.

"All right!" The brunette didn't hear what she said and Patty smiled at the scene. If there was one person in this world who could do Natasha good, it was Edgar.
"Hi Ed, hi Kurt. Glad you came." Natasha addressed the boy as soon as she reached him at the door.

"It's not like I'm hanging around. I worked almost all day and wanted to get some rest before coming." The girl's smile enchanted him and he couldn't stop looking at her. Natasha was beautiful, the tight black dress accentuated her qualities, the platform heels made her a few inches taller, she wasn't at all vulgar but very beautiful and sensual. The boy didn't know what was happening to him, but he was very fascinated with her.

"Funny. Come on, let's have fun." She pulled him out of his trance by pulling him by the hand.

They went to the counter that was filled with food and drinks. The two didn't drink alcohol often. They grabbed a soda and headed outside to join the rest of the already crowding people.

Kurt had searched the whole party and had not seen Remi anywhere. Maybe she didn't really come. He grabbed another beer and leaned against the counter already regretting his hopes. It was best to forget whatever it was that she was awakening inside him. Maybe he should have brought Allie, not that she hadn't insisted, but he'd been categorical about the breakup, only she didn't want to accept the facts. That's when the blond boy came in and Kurt kept an eye out, but didn't see his sister with him. Already giving up, he turned his back to join the rest of the crowd when Roman called him.

"She's out there. I think two girls got her talking. Why don't you go there." Roman had noticed from the beginning the connection between the two, he wasn't to interfere with his sister's relationships, but realized how the other boy seemed disappointed to not see her.

Kurt didn't think twice and headed for the exit where he found her talking and laughing with Patty and another girl he didn't remember the name. Then she saw him and he waved at her from the door. The girl was dressed in tight, low waisted black trousers, a long sleeved black blouse that left most of her belly out, she looked perfect. She said something to the girls and came to meet him.
"Hi. You took too long. I mean, it's none of my business. Do you want to come in? Eat something, dance." Kurt's clumsiness with her was visible. What happened to him? It looked like she was the first girl to talk to.

" I couldn't leave before, I was late." Shyness was on her face. Maybe because she didn't know a lot of people at the party and all the people already seemed clumsy. She escorted him to the outside area where a metallic sound and a little too loud came out of two huge boxes located at both corners of the porch. Remi waved to Natasha who was talking animatedly with Edgar and some other friends. If those two didn't have something she couldn't say anything else, because to her their relationship seemed to go far beyond just friendship. Rich came to meet them very excited.

"Hey, you two! You need to try this drink." Rich held a bottle in one hand and a half full glass in the other. The contents weren't identified by both, as the bottle had no label. "It will leave you two crazy people to catch each other!" The short man spoke in a lower tone.

"Rich! Get out!" Kurt shouted at Rich because he could ruin anything the boy intended with Remi. Rich was a total clueless.

"Rich, come on, this is starting another song." Boston came pulling him by the hand.
"I'm sorry for his nasty comments." Kurt apologized to Remi, who had gone very red.
"Don't worry. I know how he is."

The party went well and many were already drunk, as they could not see drinks available and control themselves to drink little. The style of music changed to something quieter and soon the romantic songs that rolled over at the end of the holidays began and some couples were already forming on the dance floor.
" Remi, dance with me? Kurt ventured, for he had nothing to lose and would not stand still knowing that tonight could be a great opportunity for him to approach her.
" I'm not very good and..."

" No problem. I conduce you. Comes. Kurt held her by the waist and Remi wrapped his arms around the boy's neck. Their faces were very close arousing many sensations between them. He led her down the track to the rhythm of the song and with a few steps they were already in tune.

"Hey, do you wanna dance?"

Natasha was coming back from the house with a glass of drink in her hand when she was surprised by a boy she had rarely seen.

The girl looked around the room and didn't find Edgar. She knew how annoying it was to refuse a dance. It could make you embarrassed. "All right." She was taken by the hand to the dance floor and the boy held her by the waist, she was careful not to get too close. They both danced with a visible lack of tune and the music seemed endless.

"My turn." The music stopped and Edgar was beside them on the track. Natasha flashed a smile that didn't hide her satisfaction at seeing him.

"I thought you weren't coming anymore." Natasha spoke softly as he approached.
Edgar, in turn, pulled her to him and their bodies were very close together. Natasha laid her head on his shoulder, put an arm around his neck and his other hand rested on the boy's shoulder. She closed her eyes and let the melody seem to have carried them to another dimension. She could hear his strong heartbeat, which made her happy to think a little might be for her. The girl was realizing that what he aroused in her was reciprocal.

"Hey Roman, do you dance?" Patty risked talking to the boy who always seemed angry.
" No. I don't like it very much."

" Me neither. Do you want to know my lab?"

" What?" Roman didn't know what was hidden in the invitation, because he could see from the beginning the way the girl looked at him.

"My lab, come on, I'll show you."

She led him into the basement and when she turned on the light Roman was as surprised as she was disappointed.

"You thought that was what? An excuse for me to be alone with you? Maybe it is too." Patty approached him and saw that he was red so decided to take it easy. "I'm kidding. I'll show you my little things."

" You look tired. If you want to go I'll take you." Kurt and Remi danced a little and went out for a breath. It was a little late and the girl's tiredness was visible.
"Okay, but I don't want to go home now. If you don' mind."

"Okay, we go for a drive and when you want I'll take you."

"I need to warn my brother."

They didn't find him so they asked some friends to let them know they were gone.

" Where were you?"

Natasha was a little startled by Patty's appearance upon returning from the interior of the house. Her hair was very messy and the buttons on her shirt were buttoned all wrong. The brunette looked back and realized the reason for her disorder also coming from inside the house. Roman had a rumpled shirt and a mischievous smile. She started laughing and gave Remi's message to him.

"Patty, I'm tired and I can't stay to help you, but I think you already have a helper. She said pointing to the blond boy. " Edgar will take me home."

"All right. You can go and enjoy and have fun both of you." The girl clearly had drunk too much to say that making Natasha and Edgar totally embarrassed.

"What is here?" Remi wanted to know as soon as Kurt stopped the car in front of the ruins of an ancient church. They got out and stood against the side of the car.
"I came here with a friend when we were kids. Remi felt a pang of sadness in his words. "She passed away, was murdered, and never had a chance to grow up and live so many things that might be waiting for her.

"I'm so sorry." Remi held tried to bring some comfort to the boy.

"Somehow you remind me of he. Not just for looks, but for determination, the way you look. They were now facing each other and Kurt's gaze was so penetrating that Remi hardly blinked. "I just wanted to make one thing clear. I didn't drink Rich's drink, but I have a crazy urge to kiss you."

In the absence of answers Kurt took it as a consent. He approached the girl and placed his lips over hers, the kiss was nothing angelic but intense and firm, the two there in the moonlight and the stars let their bodies speak for themselves.
"Today was perfect." Natasha said as soon as Edgar stopped the car at the door of his house.

"Yes, it was a long time ago I didn't have fun or dance that much." You dance very well.

Natasha laughed at the compliment. "Some say I get the hang of it." I'm going down. It's late, and Grandma must be worried about my delay."

Edgar wanted to say so many things, he didn't want to let the night's charm end like this, because tomorrow they would just be friends again, as usual. The boy didn't even know if they could be anything else, but when they danced together he had her in his arms and she was his for a few minutes, there was nothing between them, not Ricky, not Sarah, or any other ghost that could stop them from enjoy, this moment was just theirs. He took her hand and delicately intertwined her fingers with his.

"Natasha..." He dipped into her gaze and the girl bent over him and pressed his lips to hers. It was just a quick kiss that lasted a few seconds, but it was enough to make it clear that there might be something more between them in the future, who knows.

Neither of them took the next step or said anything. Natasha went home and fell into her bed with feelings swirling.

Edgar had a restless sleep, closed his eyes and felt her in his arms with her lips glued to his, he wanted more, much more. Now that she had taken this step he knew he was ready to talk about his feelings.

He woke up with the phone ringing nonstop, he didn't want to answer it. He looked at his watch and it was four in the morning, had slept less than two hours. Who would this time be? The mother was not home and Lis was sleeping.

"Hello! His voice was sleepy and angry.

"Edgar." It was Natasha on the other end of the line. " You can come? I need you! Please..."
