Cooling The Torch ch.2
Mitchie's POV
"Hey Mitchie." Johnny said, coming up behind me. "Yeah." I said, sitting on the couch. "Would you like to be my date for The Hero Awards Dinner tonight?" He asked, holding my hand. Can you say awkward? "Um. Yeah, sure I would love to." I said, shyly. "Cool. I'll pick you up around like 6. And Reed said he finished with your power assessment thing." He replied before walking off. "I couldn't help but overhear, and since you're going to the dinner with us, we are going shopping!" Susan said, turning visible from the kitchen. "Fine, fine." I said reluctantly, getting off of the couch into an elevator. (Dresses are on profile)
Award Dinner….
Apparently, I and Johnny stole the show. Throughout the night, I was bombarded with the same question: Are you and Johnny Storm dating? I kept denying that there was any relationship between us at all. I guess it was the right thing to do. It was an eventful evening. I had my first glass of champagne. (After hours of Johnny prodding me to try something new and all of that crap.) I found out that if you ice a photographer's camera when they get a little too close, you get called an icy witch. I was sitting down watching everyone swirl around the dance floor contently, when Johnny comes up behind me. "Hey, why aren't you dancing?" He asked. "Eh." I shrugged. "Ok, little missy. Come on you are going to dance." He said, dragging me from my chair. "But I…" I protested, as he led me to the dance floor. We twirled around gracefully, and I actually had fun. That is until our song started to play. It was "The Way You Look Tonight". My heart started to feel heavier, but I somehow felt safe in Johnny's arms. I hated every reminder of me and Johnny's failed relationship, but somehow I felt almost happy. I kinda think I'm falling for him again.
Aww.. wasn't that sweet. I want to thank all of the readers out there.
Peace!
