| Kevin was right. Al and his clones left about halfway through as their ladies left to refresh their make-up. Every one of them except Natalie. He decided to make his move as she was left alone in the area of bleacher the group had been in."Excuse me. Natalie?"his sweet southern drawl drained from his mouth. She turned to be face to face with the brilliant set of eyes that had been staring her down all night long. "Yes." "I don't believe we've been properly introduced. My name is Brian." "You sit two seats behind me in English right?"she said. He felt his heart drop. She had noticed him."That's right. I was just wonderin' if I could steal your hand for a dance." His voice dripped with sweetness."I don't know. My boyfriend will be back any minute." "It's just a dance darlin',"he offered his hand. She was still hesitant but curious at the same time. She had only ever dated Al since she was a freshman. Being her junior year maybe it was time for a change. She felt like he was treating her as a possession instead of his girl anyway these days. One dance wouldn't hurt. She took his hand as he led her to the dance floor as the music's pace slowed once again to the song" Put your head on my Shoulder" came on. He did it Nick thought as his eyes came across the crowded dance floor to rest upon the couple he never thought he'd see there as he danced with the girl he'd found. "What's she doing?"Mary Jane voiced to Amy. "What is she doing with the letter jacket?"her voice rose. "They'll be back in any minute. That guy's gonna wish he never laid eyes on her." She felt comfort and excitement course through her as this boy held her close moving to the rhythm of the music. Something she hadn't felt in a long time with Al. Her head rested upon his shoulder as her hand smoothed acrossed the strength of the other. She closed her eyes and drifted as he guided her moves. Be cool. Be cool he thought. You have one of the most beautiful girls here with you. Be cool. She felt so soft and the powdery scent of her wafted into his senses making it impossible to think rational right now. She lifted her head off his shoulder and wondered what it would be like to taste those lips upon hers as she held his gaze in hers. He lost all control of himself as his lips pressed softly to hers. Their lips separated as she tasted the freshness of mint upon his breath, neither one of them realizing Al quickly approaching them. He tore them apart as their lips separated sending Natalie flying into the bleachers as he grasped the collar of Brian's sweater."What do you think you're doing with my girl letter boy?" |
