| Chapter 24 Part 2 |
| "Hey guys...ummm...I can't believe this many people are here!" he said trying to make conversation still contemplating whether or not to ask her to dance. "Hey J! I know this is a great party!" Mackenzie said, "I'm sorry for just leaving you earlier." He watched as Joey put his hand on her back and he quickly made up his mind, "Mackenzie? Would you like to dance?" "I would love to." she said as her heart exploded with happiness. As he took her hand and led her to the dance floor Mackenzie turned around and smiled a 'thanks' to Joey and he winked back. They were dancing for on a few seconds when "Ready To Fall" by Merideth Edwards began to play. Mackenzie nervously placed her arms on his shoulder as he gently put his hands on her waist. She rested her head on his shoulder and smiled as they began to sway to the music. Justin rubbed her back softly as tingles ran through his body. I get a feelin' I can't explain Whenever you eyes meet mine My heart spins in circles And I lose all space and time And now that we're standing face to face Somethin' tells me, it's gonna be ok And I'm ready to fall in love tonight Ready to hold my heart open wide Can't promise forever but baby I'll try Yes, I'm ready to fall in love tonight I know you've been watchin', choosin' your moment I've dreamin' of that day No one before you has gotten to me this way And now that we're standing face to face There's something that I need to say And I'm ready to fall in love tonight Ready to hold my heart open wide Can't promise forever but baby I'll try Yes, I'm ready to fall in love tonight Nothing is certain but this I know Wherever we're headed I'm ready to go I can't promise forever but baby I'll try Yes, I'm ready to fall in love tonight Yes, I'm ready to fall in love tonight Yes, I'm ready to fall in love tonight As the song ended the pair looked back into each other's eyes secretly hoping the other one would make the first move. After a few minutes of silence Mackenzie giggled embarrassedly and hugged him, "I'm gonna get going, Justin. Thanks for the dance and for making me forget about everything. I had a lot of fun tonight." "Anytime." he said, "I'll call you." Were the only words he could mumble. He cursed himself as he watched her walk away and say good bye to other people. He had never felt that way about any one. He was sure of it but he still couldn't bring himself to let his feelings be known. "Yes, I'm ready to fall........in love tonight" he sang as he watched her exit the club. |
