Chapter 80: Chapter 80
" Do you want to d..dance with me ?", he asked.
I was surprised. " Yeah..", I nodded.
He stood up from the chair, fishing his phone out of his pocket. His fingers danced on the phone screen and soon a music, which I instantly recognized as 'Thinking out loud' by Ed Sheeran started to Play. He increased the volume to the maximum and placed it on the desk. Then he looked at me and started slowly walking towards me.
I couldn't believe he offered to dance with me. I was standing in surprise even when he came near me. I stood like that looking at his baby blue eyes for a few seconds. He too stared back at me.
" Grab my shoulder.", I finally mumbled and soon felt the warmth of his hand on my shoulder. I placed my hands on his hips. Then we started slowly moving to the song, without breaking eye contact.
I continued to sway to and fro, staring into his eyes. I didn't feel it would be a good idea to take out my usual party moves or ball dance moves. It probably won't work out well with Michael. And he might stumble down since he probably has less experience in dancing.
" I think you're supposed to s..spin me Ethan.", he suddenly mumbled.
" Oh..okay.", I nodded withdrawing my hands from his hip. He took his hands from my shoulder and I grabbed his right hand, slowly spinning him. He gracefully spun twice and then placed his hands on my hip. " J..just follow my lead, alright?", he then said. I nodded a bit surprised, placing my hands on his shoulder.
He then started moving sideways. " one and two and one two three...one and t..two and..", he mumbled as he stepped his foot to the right and then back. Soon he was doing the same steps in a faster pace with me. To say I was taken aback would be an understatement.
" You are really good at dancing ! ", I said in surprise. He let out a small laugh and continued to move holding my waist, his eyes squinted along with his smile. His moves then became faster and wider and I followed his movements in awe.
Suddenly he took his hands from my hip and raised it for me to spin him again. I took his hand and he did three spins quickly. When he came back facing me, I picked him up by his hip and twirled him, causing him to let out a giggle.
" How are you so good at dancing ?", I asked him as I placed him down.
He held my both hands and smiled at me, moving back and forth. " Am I g..good at dancing ?"
" Yes ! ", I said. He then withdrew one hand and bend backward making me gasp thinking he is going to fall. But his body flexibly curved backward and his right hand touched the floor while his left hand was still in mine. I was awestruck.
" I used to take d..dance lessons while I was in middle school.", he said bending up back with ease.
" Woah ! ", I uttered, my mouth was an ' O'. He again let out a quiet laugh making my heart flutter. I held his hip and pulled him closer. He placed his one hand on the side of my back and stretched the other. I took it and intertwined our fingers letting him to guide me through the part of the song that was now playing.
His moves and his warm touch on my back was giving me butterflies inside my stomach. The way we moved forward and back, side to side with our eyes locked with each other, gave me strange pleasure. Never have I felt so much passion in a dance I shared with any girl at any party or ball before. The feeling he was giving me was indescribable
I couldn't help admire his face again. He was perfect. He looked almost inhuman, like an android or an anime character with his blue eyes sparkling in the light.
His right leg suddenly came in between my thighs and I was starting to lose my control. The Nicky Jam song which was currently playing fuelled the butterflies in my stomach causing me to stare hard at his lips. I could hear his heart beat increase at my hungry stare.
My right hand that was on his hip slowly slid underneath his shirt and he shivered at the feeling of my fingers on his bare waist. His movements almost came to a halt. I was so close to him yet I wanted to be more close. I bend down until my forehead pressed against his. " I love you Michael.", I whispered low and he bit on his lip. Then the next moment his lips were on mine.
I wasn't sure who kissed who. But our lips were brushing against each other in synchrony and I couldn't think about anything else. He snaked his hands around my neck and pulled me closer, deepening the kiss.
My left hand caressed his cheeks and my right hand roamed under his shirt, feeling the softness of his skin. It felt like smooth silk. He moaned against my lips as I squeezed his flesh and it made blood to rush to my lower part. His fingers then intertwined in my locks and pulled it backward as our lips brushed roughly against each other.
I knew I would completely lose my control and do something to him if this continued. So I soon pulled away from him. He looked away panting. I took steps away from him while trying to catch my breathe.
" Michael, can you please dance for me ?", I asked him once he caught his breathe. I was now sitting on the desk chair and he was sitting on my bed.
He shook his head. " it's...it's long since I danced. I forgot everything I l..learned."
" No..you sure can show me something. You don't need to dance to a song. Just show me some moves.", I said. He looked away biting down on his lips. " Please Michael...it's only me...just show something. ", I pleaded.
" Okay.", he nodded and finally got up from my bed. Then he came walking to me and took his phone that was on the desk. He changed the song that was playing and a slow unknown music started to play.
He walked away from me, humming and swaying his hips to the song. Then he suddenly moved his legs wide and stretched out his one arm, starting with a wavy motion of the arms. I couldn't properly watch that fascinating movement of arms cause more of my attention went in between his thighs.
The next moment he jumped up in the air, throwing his head backward making my eyes go wide. My gaze instantly fell on his flawless neck. Then he was moving around in the limited space of the room, dancing effortlessly to the song. His shirt occassionally moved up and flew in the air revealing the honey blonde skin underneath it.
I watched him holding my breathe as he moved around gracefully. He was dancing like it was natural to him. I was totally fascinated by his moves. He was living into the song. He sure dances to this song often or he can't dance this perfectly. He was simply breathe taking to my eyes.
The music ended very soon and he stopped dancing. I wanted to see him dance more. I was thinking to ask him to dance again but he was breathing heavily of exhaustion. His face was wet and his shirt was drenched in sweat. His legs were slightly shaking from all the hard moves he showcased in front of me.
Before I could say anything, he stepped backward and fell down on the bed. I stood up from the chair and walked to him.
" You are an amazing dancer.", I whispered falling down beside me.
" Th..thanks..but I'm not a g...great dancer or a..anything", he panted out . "Ahm...I'm dancing after l..long. That's why..", he said referring to his heavy breathe.
I leaned in and kissed his sweaty forehead. " You are great at dancing. Don't try to argue with me.", I whispered in his ear. He didn't say anything but a crimson blush spread over his already pink cheeks.
We lied like that for fifteen or twenty minutes, holding our hands. I told him I was feeling butterflies in my stomach when he danced with me and no other person ever gave me butterflies. He never replied but I kept on telling him how I felt about him. Then he suddenly shot up from the bed and asked me whether I want to dance again. I immediately jumped up and said ' Yes '.
I turned out the lights in the room and lit my night lamp. And then we started dancing again to a John legend song in the dim light. We were having our own ball in our room while the whole school was in the auditorium, dancing. We could hear the sound of the ball from afar.
We danced for hours and I didn't feel a bit tired. I wanted to dance the whole night away with him, staring into his blue irises. I was enjoying every second and I knew, this night was going to be a memorable one in my life along with last night.
