At the Fountain…

Rhi POV

After strolling along the Strip enjoying the heat and ambiance, we finally reach the hotel. As we're approaching we see the fountain. The fountain at the Bellagio is so serene and dark and mysterious at night. It holds many secrets, namely what song and dance it will perform. I would love to see it with everyone.

"Does anyone know if the fountain is going to go off anymore or did we miss it?" Kate asks.

"I have no idea." I reply.

A passerby overhears her question and says, "There's one more show at 11 pm. It's the final one for the day. You have about 5 minutes to go."

Ana claps her hands and smiles at the person. "Thank you! Have a good evening!" Ana turns to us and says, "We just barely made it in time! I was hoping to see the fountain at night with the dancing lights. I'm going to take a video this time. I wonder what song they will play? This afternoon it was pretty upbeat, maybe they slow it down at night?"

We make our way to the center of the fountain and get close to the wall for an unobstructed view.

"I don't know but the lights are starting to come up, so we'll find out soon!" Kate exclaims.

The music starts playing "I've Got You Under My Skin" by Frank Sinatra. I love this song! The lights start dancing in sync with the fountain and the beat of the song. I can't help myself and start swaying and singing along. Kate and Ana take out their phones and start recording the show. As I'm reaching for mine, I feel a tug on my hand and suddenly I'm in the arms of Alex. He tilts my head up so I'm looking up at him and he looks down at me. I can't help but think we must look ridiculous, a tall guy and a short girl. He starts swaying to the music and singing, spinning and twirling me around the small area. Oh, my he's a good dancer! Well, I should hope so, after all he does dance for a living. But this is different. This feels different. It's kind of romantic, dancing at the fountain to Ol' Blue Eyes. We dance through the whole song, never faltering, the lights and sounds from the fountain cannons emphasizing the beats. I feel like I'm dancing on a cloud. He never breaks eye contact except when he twirls me away, but he's still looking at me when he pulls me back to him. The song ends with a boom from the cannons, he dips me then pulls me up and holds me close. He looks down at me smiling then leans down and gives me a gentle sweet kiss. I'm snapped out of my trance to the sound of clapping and a chorus of "Aww." I look around and see that we've gathered quite the crowd. I guess we've given them a show too.

I blush and smile. "Thank you, but it's all him. Anyone can dance with the right partner." I look at him and grin. "That was very … unexpected." I smile shyly.

I look over at Kate and Ana and they've got their phones directed at me, recording me dancing with Alex.

"You guys! You better delete that! The world doesn't need to see that!" I say, laughing.

Kate laughs, "Uh, Rhi? You might want to look around. The whole world has already seen that!"

I look around and there are cameras recording everywhere. Oh my God! I want to crawl in a hole and die! I turn to look at them, mortified. I try to play it off, smiling and laughing, but inside I'm a mess and terrified of what is to come.

Stepping closer to the girls I whisper, "Kate? Ana? What just happened?"

All of a sudden phones start 'pinging' all over the place.

Kate looks at her phone and laughing, she says, "Rhi, I believe you just became a trend. It's all over Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook! Holy shit! You're famous!"

She's laughing so hard she's crying. I'm absolutely mortified. What am I going to do?

I look at Alex, "Oh my God."

He smiles, gives me an apologetic smile, kisses me again and says, "Sorry, I just wanted to dance with you. I thought you were a perfect dance partner."

Oh, my heart is about to burst. Where did he come from? There's got to be some sort of flaw, he's too perfect.

Luke POV

I'm sitting in front of the tv watching a movie and drinking trying to focus my thoughts elsewhere. When my phone 'pings' with a notification. It's from one of the social media sites that we all have to be familiar with in case something comes up about Grey or his family. I really wish Grey would employ his sister Mia the job of mediating social media. It's a pain in the ass and who really cares about what and who are 'trending?' I know for sure I don't. Oh well since I'm sitting here doing nothing I might as well look at it. I don't know what I thought I would see but I was definitely not expecting to see the video I'm watching right now.

"What in the fuck?" I say out loud, no one's in the room with me so it doesn't really matter who hears.

There she is dancing with that fucking bearded guy looking happy and content. My God she's beautiful and I'm pleasantly surprised she's a good dancer. There's quite the crowd that's gathered and I can see in the background there are phones recording everywhere. Scrolling through I see it's all over the internet. Some videos are live and some are uploaded pre-recorded ones.

"What the fuck?" I force out again.

I text Ryan:

L: Do you care to tell me what the fuck is going on? Why am I seeing Rhiann on the internet dancing with that guy?

Ry: Well, they stopped and watched the fountain and he decided he wanted to dance with her. At least that's my guess. It was really nice and gathered quite the crowd. We can't control what she does and you know that.

L: Fuck, I know but still it's irritating how there's nothing I can do to stop the inevitable. Let me know when they go back to their room.

I throw my phone on the table. What am I supposed to do? I certainly can't control her, and I can't make her mine, though I want to so bad. I guess I just wait and see how this plays out. I don't want to see her hurt, but I'd like to rush in like a knight in shining armor and save her.
