Dang, I'm gonna be late. I gotta be there by 8:30 and its 8:26, I'm about five minutes out. I'm speeding which is probably not the best thing to do since the accident, but I'm gonna do it anyway. I finally get there and its 8:36, I groan and get out of my car after I park. I run up to the crowd of people trying to find Milton, I scan the crowd until I see a guy in a white t-shirt, blue madras shorts and long blue Sperry's wiping his hands with baby wipes. Milton.
I get through the crowd until I reach him, ''hey what up Milton?''
Milton jumps and puts his hand on his heart, relived, ''Jack you scared me.''
''Sorry Milton, didn't mean too, he-''
''Hey, Jack who's your friend?'' said a voice behind me.
I turned to see Grace smiling, ''oh hey this Milton, Milton this is Grace.''
She waves at Milton before pulling me away from him, toward the sign up table.
''Sign up for painting,'' she says putting her chin on my shoulder.
''Why?'' I ask playfully.
''Because I am along with my sister,'' she says the last part while rolling her eyes.
I sign up for painting and walk with Grace to the Painting station, Im painting an inside of an almost finished house when Kim comes in the house, it's just us besides the two girls who are near a corner talking.
''Hey Kim,'' I say putting on a smile, remembering last night.
''Oh hey Jack what's up?'' Kim said with a smile.
''Nothing just painting, you?''
''What do you think, Jack?''
I laugh and then a weird question pops in my head.
''Kim you know how to dance,'' I ask.
''Yeah, I was classically trained to waltz, why?''
Then I lied, ''I got invited to this ball by some random girl and-''
''Are you talking about The Masquerade Ball?'' said one of the girls in the corner.
''Uh, yeah,'' I say digging a bigger hole.
''OHMYGOSH THAT IS THE PARTY!'' she yelled suddenly.
I turn back to Kim who is looking at me up and down, she then's goes over to the iPod speakers and put her iPod in and scrolls to a song(All about us by He is We ft. Owl City). The sweet sound of a guitar walks in my ears.
Take my hand
I obey and take her hand walking closer.
I'll teach you to dance
Obviously.
I'll spin you around
She fixes my back bringing a bit closer to her.
Won't let you fall down
She moves toward me and I move towards her, making me fumble a bit.
Would you let me lead?
Uh, yes.
You can step on my feet
Just then like the song was magic, I step on her foot.
Give it a try
I am.
It'll be alright
I know.
The rooms hush, hush and now it our moment
We trill.
Take it in, feel it all and hold it
I'm trying but she so breathtaking.
Eyes on you, eyes on me
I don't notice anyone but her.
We're doing this right
Yeah cause I'm being teached how.
Then the chorus comes around.
Cause lovers dance when their feeling in love
I am.
Spotlight shinning
The sun already in the room because after all it is early afternoon.
It's all about us
Yes it is.
It's all
About us
And every heart in the room will melt
I hear the girls snicker and 'aw' a few times.
This is a feeling I never felt but
It's all
about us
Next, I hear a male voice so I decide to lead.
Suddenly im feeling brave
I guide us across the room.
I don't know whats got into me
Me either.
Why I feel this way
Can we dance
Real slow?
Can I hold you, can I hold you close
I pull Kim a little closer.
The rooms hush, hush and now it our moment
Take it in, feel it all and hold it
Eyes on you, eyes on me
We're doing this right
Chorus.
Cause lovers dance when their feeling in love
Spotlight shinning
It's all about us
It's all
about us
And every heart in the room will melt
This is a feeling I never felt but
It's all
About us
Do you hear that, love?
I'm staring at Kim now, smiling.
They're playing our song
Do you think we're ready, oh I really feeling it
Do you hear that, love?
Do you hear that, love?
Do you hear that, love their playing our song
Do you think we're ready?
Yeah, love, I'm really feeling it
Do you hear that, love?
Do you hear that, love?
Do you hear that, love?
They're playing our song
Do you think we're ready
Yeah and oh I'm really feeling it
Do you hear that, love?
Do you hear that, love?
Lovers dance when their feeling in love
Spotlight shinning
It's all about us (It's all about us)
It's all (Do you hear that, love?)
Every heart in the room will melt
This is a feeling I never felt but
It's all
About us
'Cause lovers dance when their feeling in love
Spotlight shinning
It's all
About us
Every heart in the room will melt
This is a feeling I've never felt but
It's all
It's all about us
With that the song ends but I continue to hold her, getting lost in her eyes. She looks away, so I gently let go.
''Uh, thanks the song's nice,'' I say trying not smile uncontrollably.
She walks over to the iPod speakers and takes out her iPod and slips it into her pocket.
''Are you two dating?'' one of the girls in the corner asked.
''Um uh no,'' we both said in unison.
''Yeah right,'' she said the while pulling out her phone, texting someone.
I was walking back to my car after a long day of working. I was about to drive off when I remembered Milton and stopped. I tapped the stirring wheel, waiting on Milton. I watched as people talked and walked to their cars, one group caught my eye, specifically. A group of four guys, three looked like they were jocks fresh out of high school, the other not so much. They were pushing and bullying the skinny one, I couldn't make out who the skinny one cause of the dark. The skinny one tries to get away from them while looking around for someone or something. I lean toward the stirring wheel trying to see who the skinny guy was. Milton. I get out of my car and run over there as the red-headed tried to grab Milton's neck. I get there in time and catch his arm, pushing it away.
I stand in front of Milton, ''back off.''
''Calm down pretty boy,'' the red-head said smirking evilly, ''we're just playing around.''
''No your not, you been doing this since we were juniors in high school, its getting old.'' Milton said kind of to himself.
''Hey, you shut up no one was talking to you, we were talking to pretty boy.'' said the dark headed one.
I got in his face, ''you probably shouldn't have done that.''
