Chapter 5
The party resumed for a while, and Dragon was pretty much worn out. Matt saw her sitting on the couch, and he seized the opportunity.
He walked over and sat next to her. "Hey."
"Hey yourself."
"You okay?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice.
"Yeah, just a little bit tired. Some party, huh?"
"Yeah, Otto pretty much destroyed the food table and the food." They both chuckled a bit.
A couple of minutes passed on with awkward silence; well, just between them.
"So, um, Dragon?" Matt started, stuttering.
"Yeah?" She looked at him, and noticed the look on his face. Like he was unsure if he should say what he was going to say, but he continued.
"Um, I just want to say how much, uh…"
"You don't like candy? I understand." Dragon interrupted.
"What?! No! Look, what I'm trying to say is," he grabbed her hand, "I love you."
"I love you too."
They shared a kiss on the lips and looked into each others eyes for a while.
"So, do you want to dance?" Matt asked.
"I thought you'd never asked." She grabbed his hand and pulled him to the dance floor as Thriller played. (Me: I love that song.)
Meanwhile…
Mac was looking around for Estela, seeing as she left the dance floor.
He soon found her leaning against the wall in the hallway, fumbling around with her staff. She almost looked kind of sad.
"Hey, Estela." Mac called out to her. Estela jumped, startled, and looked to see Mac staring at her with concerned eyes.
"Oh, hi Mac. You scared me." She said as she looked back at her wooden staff.
"What are you doing out here, the party's in there?" Mac said, gesturing towards the main room where the music was blaring and the people were yelling and laughing.
"Yeah, well, I just got a little tired." She said.
"Are you okay?"
Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" Estela looked at him, blushing. Why is he so concerned for me? She couldn't help but get lost in his eyes.
"Well, I, uh, I was just wondering. You know, I-" he was soon interrupted by a soft pair of lips on his. He knew it was Estela and gladly returned the kiss.
"So, you ready to back out and dance some more?" Estela asked after they broke the kiss.
"I thought you were tired." Mac said confused.
"Mmm, I just needed a little energy boost." She replies slyly. Mac caught on and blushed.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" she said as she grabbed Mac's hand.
And the party continued for a good nine hours, that is, until the cops showed up with a list of complaints from the citizens. Why do the cops always have to ruin the fun? Oh well. It was great!
And a big thanks to the authors who let me use them and their oc's! This party couldn't have been better and Akari and Cameron couldn't feel more welcomed!
