A/N: Warning: FLUFF!
*Nina's POV*
Everyone finished their cones and left, so it was just me and a cookie dough-covered Fabian. He made a big show of wiping some off his cheek onto his finger and licking it which made me laugh. "If you'll believe it, Nina, I've never tasted this flavor before. It's delicious!"
"No way!" Who hasn't had cookie dough ice cream? Well, not Fabian anymore. Then he looked over at me with that gaze that left me feeling breathless and gently wiped the chocolate ice cream off my cheek. Suddenly music came on and I found myself saying, "I believe I owe you a dance, since we were so rudely interrupted by Victor at Amber and Mick's party at the beginning of the year."
*Fabian's POV*
Nina asked me to dance. I stood up and offered her my arm, but when we stepped into the common room the song somehow changed to a slow one. I panicked for a split second, but Nina wasn't pulling away, so I gently put my arms around her waist, and she put hers on my shoulders. Once we started dancing I couldn't keep a goofy grin off my face, and as I looked at Nina, neither could she. Well, she didn't have a goofy grin but a dazzling smile, and I soon lost myself in her eyes.
*Amber's POV*
"Ugh. Why did I even keep this?" I asked to no one in particular.
"Because it makes you look more beautiful," Alfie replied. He'd been giving that response whenever I asked why I kept something atrocious. It was sweet, but this was serious work.
"Alfie, I love you for telling me I look beautiful with anything, but I need you to be honest now. Alfie? Alfie!"
Huh. He was staring into space (A/N: Virtual edible cookies-whatever flavor, you choose- to those of you who guess what part of Amber's little speech he zoned out ;) ), but when I called his name he said,"Yeah, Amber. Serious judge. Got it."
"Thank you." I grabbed a wine-colored purse and held it up to my mirror. "I think it works. You?"
"Totally."
I set it down and picked up a necklace. "Oh, that's last season's look. It's rubbish."
"Buh-bye." Alfie gave it a little wave as I tossed it into the 'reject' pile. The sorting went on like this- with him agreeing to everything I said. It was very cute. Alfie was really sweet. I used to think he was a joke, but now I see how he looks at me like I'm intelligent, thinks I look beautiful no matter what I'm wearing, and is always ready to help me when I need assistance. Maybe...
I gave him one of my most sparkling smiles. "Thanks so much for helping me, Alfie."
"It's my pleasure, Amber. Now, show me the rest." I smiled to myself as I picked up a few bracelets and bangles.
*Patricia's POV*
Technology- gotta love it. I may have left the dining room, but that didn't mean I couldn't help out Trudy in the kitchen. Washing dishes, I saw Fabian tenderly wipe the ice cream off of Nina's cheek. I noticed the remote to the radio in the common room sitting on the counter and turned on the music, hoping for a romantic song. This might sound Amber of me, but I can be girly when I want to. Unfortunately, it was tuned to the wrong station. Nina asked Fabian to dance, and they started walking over. I waited until it was too late for one of them to back out, then switched stations to that one that plays slow/love songs every night. Fabian paused for a second, but then he put his arms on Nina's waist and she set hers on his shoulders. Nice job, Williamson, I thought to myself. Another idea hit me. I snuck into Alfie's room and grabbed his iPod touch. Everyone would want to see this vid. I recorded them for about five minutes, then turned it off and put it away. Trudy was taking stock of the fridge, so she didn't notice what I did.
There was only one plate left to dry when Trudy muttered,"Ade's coming in about three minutes. I don't want to disturb Nina and Fabian, so I'll wait for him outside-that way they won't get interrupted by that annoying doorbell." She quietly left the kitchen; I put the final plate away. I decided I'd had enough romance for one night- well, with real people at least. I headed up to my room to continue rereading Twilight.
