Chap 4. Ending the Night
10:23pm AZ Cuisine
Athrun stood up and turned his head towards the stage. He nodded to the musician, who nodded back and smiled. He then turned his back to the stunned princess and took her hand. As they walked to the dance floor, a violin and an acoustic guitar began to play.
I get lost in your eyes
And I feel my spirits rise
A soar in the wind…
Is it love I am in?
He put his right hand on the small of her back and with his left; he held her right hand gently. She relaxed in his hold and placed her left hand on his shoulder. They both slowly swayed around in a circle to the music.
I get weak in a glance
Isn't this what's called romance?
And now I know
And never what I know
'Cause when I'm lost I can let go
Her eyes wandered across his face. She admired his handsomeness in her mind until her eyes locked into a stare with his. "Wow…His eyes are…soothing… They glow with serenity." She continued to marvel at his eyes whilst he did the same with her. "Her eyes…they burn like a setting sun." They continued to stare deeply into each others eyes, as if they were searching for something. Their bodies continued to move to the music as they both lost themselves in each others eyes.
I don't mind not knowing what I'm heading for
You can take me to the sky
It's like being in heaven
But I'm lost in your eyes
I just fell, don't know why
Something's there we can't deny
Well, I'll be found
When I'm lost in your eyes
The music picked up its pace and the couple swayed faster. He twirled her around many times which brought a beautiful from the princess and several giggles. He in turn smiled and continued to twirl and sway with her.
I don't mind not knowing what I'm heading for
You can take me to the sky
It's like being in heaven
But I'm lost in your eyes
He brought both of his arms to wrap around her waist. She gasped and looked down at the closeness between them and then looked back into his eyes. Something about his eyes made her put her arms around his shoulders and bring them closer to each other.
And if I can't find my way
If salvation seems worlds away
Well, I'll be found
When I am lost in your eyes.
As the music come to its end, the pair slowly stopped their dance but continued to stare into each other eyes, lost in their own world. Inches away from each other, they slowly decreased the distance between them. Their noses touched. They could feel the others warm breath on their lips. Their eyes darting back and forth between their lips and eyes. They closed their eyes as their lips barely touched each other-
"Hey, guys! That was some dance!!"
Cagalli sighed and looked down whilst Athrun threw an annoyed look at Dearka before regaining composure. She gently pushed herself out from the position that they were in and gently smiled at Athrun. He sighed and smiled back and then turned towards Dearka.
"That's how you dance with a woman, Dearka." He stated. Dearka' face turned to a horrified look and then into a pout. Cagalli and Athrun laughed at the change of expressions.
"So you danced like that just to show me up did you?" He pouted and turned away.
"Yeah, basically." He lied. Cagalli felt a pang of disappointment in her chest at his words. She was confused as to why she should be confused in the first place.
"I'll show you, Athrun Zala! I'll show you how to dance better than that crap you just performed! Come, Cagalli!! Let us dance the night away and let me make this dance magical!!" He grinned at her and offered his hand. Cagalli, however, looked at his hand and walked straight passed and headed for the bar.
"No thanks, Elsman. I've had enough dancing for one night." Athrun chuckled at Dearka' rejected facial expression and returned to his office leaving Dearka standing like an idiot with his hand out.
Deciding to call it a night, Cagalli headed towards the restaurant doors after bidding her friends good night. She reached out to push the door before-
"Cagalli!" She turned to see Athrun walking up to her with a small smile on his face.
"Is there a problem, Athrun?" She asked as he stopped in front of her. His eyes fixed into hers again.
"No, I just wanted to say…" He took her right hand and slowly brought it to his lips. Kissing her hand and holding her gaze with his eyes. "…Thank you for the dance." He gave her a breath-taking smile and walked back towards his office leaving Cagalli more confused and stunned.
