Chapter 10 - EPOV
I watch her and she smiles in my direction.
Does that mean she's happy I'm here?
Newton keeps trying to touch her, but she moves away.
That seems to annoy him, and he looks angry.
If he lays one hand on her in a wrong way, I will kick his ass.
She sits down as Mike walks away with some of the guys.
I watch as she twirls her hair and looks around the room. Clearly she feels ill-at-ease.
I check to see where Newton is and I don't see him or Jessica.
This is my chance.
I get up and walk over to her slowly.
I'm not sure, if I can actually talk to her here.
At Scoops, it's so much easier.
Here, its hard because there's more people here and they expect her to be a certain way.
I look down at her and my voice gets lost for a moment.
Her beauty overwhelms me.
She is the most beautiful girl in the room as she looks up at me and smiles.
"Would you..." and my voice fails me.
She waits for me to speak again.
I clear my throat, and start again. "Would you like to dance with me?"
I hold my breath and wait as her eyes flicker to mine.
