Dancing In The Dark

"WHY are you always looking at your phone? Is you're fvckin' guy can't wait?" His voice sounds pissed.

I was actually looking at my phone for how many times. Jess's was texting me, asking me if what's going on between us right now.

She's so persistent. Noah was quiet after our last conversation and I think he's thinking that I'm chatting with a guy.

I look at him and I was surprised when I saw his colliding eyebrows, battling with his deadly stare. His eyes are the most beautiful for me, but right now it looks dangerous.

I bit my lips and slip my phone inside my pocket, "I'm sorry, it was Jess. She's asking if how are we.."

His face soften, "Oh. Yeah, it's okay. I thought you're texting some, you know..other guys.." He looks embarrassed.

"No. It's okay. It wasn't my intention to pissed you.."

"You didn't do anything wrong, I was just a little..advanced.." I manage to hide my smile so he won't feel that I'm making fun of him.

"Wanna dance?" I suggest. I want to change the subject for him not to feel embarrassed.

"Sure, why not," he smiles and offered me his hands.

"How confidently good you are in dancing, huh?" I giggle and take his hand.

He shrugs, "You'll find out," then he lead me to the dance floor.

Actually, I love dancing. When I was little, my mom always ask me to dance for her. She's the first person to ever teach me how to love dancing in my own way.

I was always dancing whenever she turn on our speaker and I was happy doing it. But when I became adult, I rarely dance. You know, I have some stuffs to prioritize than dancing. And my mom wasn't here, I feel empty whenever I start to dance without her.

She's my favorite audience, because I can see that she admires me and happy for me.

"This time, I think I will need to hold your waist. Is that okay with you?" He asks. He is surely a gentleman and I like it. Some guys needs to be like him.

"Yeah. Just don't tickle me," I tease and he laughs.

"You know, Raine.. I never imagined that we'll end up dancing together," he sway his body and so as me. I can't feel his hands on my waist, it's like he's worried on making me feel uncomfortable.

"Why not? I'm a good dancer,"

"Is that a show off?" He sounds like he's about to laugh.

"Well, if it sounds like that," I shrugged and that made him laugh.

I think we are getting along fine right now, and the funny thing was.. This is a club, but the music was romantic.. We're supposed to dance like a wild animal who just got out from the forest..

But here we are, dancing like we own the dance floor. Looking at each other like we never did before, he's holding my waist in a gently manner while my arms wrapped around his neck.

It was the most romantic moment of my life right now.

Hasn't been too long since I felt this with my first crush back in high school?

We had our prom back then and he's my partner. That feeling was like 'Oh my God, my crush was here in front of me and it's also felt nice being his partner.' But right now, as I feel my chest pumping so hard while looking directly in his eyes. I have nothing else to think, I'm just amazed on our dance.

"To tell you the truth.." He smiles and hold me more.

"Hmm?"

He scratch his head and look at me, "I feel terrible for telling you to stay away from other guys, while me..so fuckin' scum for going out with my ex.."

"I wasn't able to think what you might react if you saw us together, and then you..you came and saw us," he brushed his hair and bit his lips. "I'm so sorry, Raine.."

I know I was upset when I saw them together awhile ago, I want to throw tantrums at him for shitting me but when I knew everything, it suddenly changed.

"No. Uhm.. That's alright. I'm not angry and I don't have to be angry. What role do I have in your life though? I'm just your employee.." It made me realized how shit of me to act like I'm his girlfriend. This kind of thick face I should've fix now.

"I want to avoid her as much as possible.." He bowed his head. "But, I just fucked up, I can't even tell her to stay away.. I'm so fuckin' cruel."

His last words hurt the hell out of me. The way he said it, it had full emotions. Means he really can't stay away from her. He couldn't distance himself for a bitch like Dana..

I know I'm also cruel for naming her like that, but I just can't understand why does she have to interfere with us when she chooses to let go of Noah's heart?

The way I see his guilt face right now, the more pathetic I am I think. I wanna stop seeing his emotions right now, I just want to see his blank face and stare at it until the music ends.

"Let's just stop thinking about it, I'm still enjoying this moment," I smile and he chuckles.

"Try'na make me feel better, huh?" He half laughs.

His mood changed constantly, so effin' my style..

"Nah.. I just can't bear to see your ugly face. You look like an old man with a big mud in your face.." I laugh.

He can't even hear how loud it is, so I just let myself laugh out loud in this freakin' crowded place.

Oh I hate smoke..

I sniffed. Oh God! No--

"Wha--are you okay?" Noah's worried voice came to guide me. But my anger to that fucking smoke won't get away easily. I fuckin' need to see those guys who spread their fucking cigarettes near me.

My nose watered to as I sneeze for how many times and It still hasn't stopped. I hate this allergy!

"Come here," He leads me to the sofa, I was a bit shy for showing him this side of me. I really have no intention on being a short tempered in this kind of things but I'm just really pissed and it won't stop until I find those thugs who did this to me.

"Want some water?" He asks.

I nod, "With a towel, please.."

He walks to the bar area and talked to the staffs there. I can see his friendly face from here, he was the type of person who's always have a chill personality. He doesn't want to deal with his problem as a big one. He always say that if you take the problem as a problem, you'll only get depressed and see it as a very difficult challenge.

I'm not a fan of inspirational quotes but, the way he say those words. I thought of it as an inspirational words from him, 'coz it motivates me, a lot.

But right now, I'm so fuckin' PISSED OFF.

"Hi," A guy's voice came at my side so I immediately turn my head to face him.

"What?" I arch my brow.

I'm not in the mood to flirt with anyone. I just only want one and he's here.

His face become playful, I can see his eyes on my curves as he traveled his sight on my body.

What a pervert.

This guy only wants sex from me. I know that, I'm inexperienced when it comes to this but I'm not dumb because this kind of scene was actually similar to what I'm reading.

"Are you alone?" He smiles wickedly, but not as handsome as Noah.

"None of your goddamn business.." I rolled my eyes and turn my back on him.

Seriously? Flirting with me? Your wish dude..

I'm surprised when he suddenly grabbed my arm and forcefully turn me to face him. This guy is getting on my nerves!

"What are doing?" I was trying to remove his hand but his grip tighten. "If you wont get your hands off of me, I swear I'm not gonna let it slide. So while I'm still talking nicely, get.your.hand.off.of.me."

"Not buying it baby. You're so hot, I'm going to make you undress me--" I tried to close my eyes, hoping not to hear his perverted words but then I just felt his grip loosen.

I immediately opened my eyes and saw him on the floor. His face are bruised, blood was dripping down his face and his mouth was surrounded with blood.

Oh my God.

Then I turn to look at the guy on top of him..

It's Noah!

Oh my God, what the hell he's doing?!

"Touch her and you'll never get to see the sunlight again. I'm warning you." His voice was dangerous and his fist were fold together.

Shit.
