Thread: Care for a dance? ((Me and Sharpii))

The entire time so far while they danced that first dance, Liliana was on a cloud nine. She was floating in a pool of romance and couldn't get enough of it. Perhaps Orlando really was the one for her. He went out of his way to make up for things if he wasn't there all because of his honest and pure love for her. She had no reason to doubt him anymore. It would be okay for her to pull down the walls around her heart and let him in and allow herself to love. By doing that, she wasn't being naive but taking a risk and opening herself up to him. He wanted that and she was going to give it to him since she was so sure. They danced into the center of the entire dance floor. He held her close but not man-handling her. She was elegant, not a professional dancer but she knew what she was doing, as did he. It was beautiful and she suddenly felt that everyone around them didn't exist. That it was just her and Orlando dancing to such a romantic and beautiful song, dancing such a beautiful and sweet dance. It was just them. Like this night was destined to be for them so they could debut their love and let the entire world around them know, it was their night. it felt like a fairytale. Of course she wasn't the kind to keep her head stuck in the clouds but the happy stories she knew, she felt like she was living one now. His hand, soft but strong, moved gently around her soft rosy cheek. His thumb grazed at the little corner of her mouth and his face leaned in. They didn't share little trinkets of love like this. No kisses. Small hugs, maybe a kiss on the back of her hand but nothing as a big gesture like what he was doing and she was wanting it. Had been. A true love's kiss. Their faces drew nearer, lips slightly puckered. Her eyes shut, as did his and then-- No. No. Nothing. Someone shoved into him, a misstep in the dance and it caused the moment to be ruined. This was her surprise but he couldn't just kiss her now. He had to wait for another opportune moment. Only then would he seize it. Her eyes opened and he looked down at her, exhaling quietly. Hm...I'll get us something to drink. Mingle. You know some people here. With that, he left a bummed fiance in the middle of the dance floor and walked through the dancing crowd to get them something to drink. With an exasperated sigh, she walked out of the middle of the dance floor, heading in the opposite direction and walked around. Eventually she started to mingle and then something stood out to her. The ambiance and presence of a worthy opponent. She looked into his direction. He was dressed so simply but it still screamed his elegance and extravagance by the way he pulled it off and carried himself. If only all men could be like him. He seemed like the kind who'd seize the moment whenever and not walk away from it. Turning her attention back to the chattering ladies, Lilian smiled lightly and nodded here and there but didn't speak. Orlando made his way to the drinks table and he gathered to fine glasses of wine for himself and Liliana. But the presence of a more shining beauty not too far from him caught his eye. Even though she was wearing a mask, he could tell she was of a special kind of beauty. Strong, open, not afraid. All he did was look up from the wine and there she was. It delayed him back to his fiance. It was human nature to be interested in someone else. That human lust or interest, especially if there is a type of doubt. It happens and it only makes them more human.
