New Reason for Living
Chapter 12: Romantic Dance
Sometime later, the three of us were starting to head back to Leanne's place. While we were on our way, I was surprised to hear what sounded like a discussion between Leanne and Blaze.
"Leanne, I don't know why, but I'm starting to think that there's something going on between you and Aaron." Blaze said. I was surprised to hear this, so was Leanne as she was completely shocked when she heard that. I could tell that she didn't think very much of this.
"What are you talking about, Blaze? There's no way that that's possible!" Leanne exclaimed. Blaze brightly smiled, hearing her denial. "Trust me, Leanne. I know the signs of a relationship, and denial is one of them. You like Aaron, don't you?" he asked. Leanne's expression turned into uncertainty when she heard this. It was like she couldn't be sure herself.
"Well, I don't really know, Blaze. I do get along very well with him, but I just can't be certain of that myself. We have been spending a lot of time together, but I'm not of sure of what to think of this." Leanne explained. I could tell that she seemed very unsure of this; she hadn't experienced something like this for a while.
However, I had never experienced something like this before in my life. It was like ever since I started living with Leanne, everything had completely changed for me. But I wasn't sure of why I felt this way about her; it was almost as if it seemed like I was the one that Leanne was meant to be with and she was meant to be with me. I couldn't figure out why I thought that, though.
But then, something interrupted my thoughts and caught my attention. "Look at that!" I said. Leanne and Blaze looked with me and they were both surprised. It was an area for partners to dance with each other. "How come we didn't get to see that before?" Blaze asked. Leanne brightly smiled as she looked on at this.
"I'd love to go there! The only problem is I don't have a partner." Leanne said. I wasn't sure of why, but I felt like I should go with Leanne. I didn't know why, but it just seemed like the right thing for me to do. So without hesitance, I came over to Leanne and looked at her.
"If you don't mind, Leanne, would you like to dance with me?" I asked. Leanne looked at me in surprise when she heard that. "Do you really mean that, Aaron?" she asked in amazement. I looked behind her to see that Blaze was watching us on; he had a look of alarm on his face. Despite seeing this, I wanted to have a good time with Leanne so I nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I do." I responded. Leanne beamed, delighted when she heard that. "Thanks, Aaron. We should hurry before anyone else comes." Leanne said. With this, the two of us both got into the area. I looked to see Blaze who was staring in shock; he probably wasn't expecting this to happen. I felt nervous, knowing he was there.
"Are you all right, Aaron? You look a little distracted." Leanne said, drawing my attention back. "Yeah, I'm okay, Leanne. Thanks for asking." I responded. Leanne smiled, hearing that I was okay. I was just hoping that Blaze wasn't going to annoy us once this was over.
But when we started dancing, my worries didn't seem to exist in my mind anymore. What mattered to me was that Leanne was there and we were just with each other. I smiled as I could see that she was having a fun time like I was. "I didn't know that you were a good dancer, Aaron." Leanne commented, impressed. I brightly smiled at this compliment.
"I guess there are some things I didn't know myself." I responded. Leanne happily laughed at this. I could see Leanne's bright smile and her eyes seemed to twinkle in the moonlight. It was really a wonderful sight for me to see; I hadn't seen Leanne as stunning as this before. 'I guess some things turn out better than expected.' I thought.
The two of us both brightly smiled; what mattered to us now was just being with each other and that was how we wanted it to be. No-one was around, just the two of us alone with each other. I could see Leanne's shining eyes as she smiled at me and I smiled back.
"This is the best night I've ever had, Aaron." Leanne said. "Me too, Leanne." I responded. With this, unknowingly the two of us kissed. It didn't matter to us that others were around; what mattered was that we were with each other. I had never experienced feeling like this before, but I knew that it was more amazing than anything I had ever felt.
