SKY 16: Don't go

I am deeply embarrassed with what he said and left a small distance in between us and turned around to cover my face. Smirking from what he said Caylus grabbed my waist to pull me closer to him which made me exposed my bright red face.

I wasn't able to reply to him after what he said, instead I was left stunned with a bright red face.

We head our way to the entrance that was filled with beautiful decorations: bright fairy lights that were hung in the ceiling that was also decorated with green leaves and white flowers draping. It seems like we are in a magical entryway making our way to fantasy land.

I was somewhat lost in the middle of amazement that I didn't notice Caylus wasn't holding gripping onto my waist anymore. It only click on me when I felt a flash from a camera from my behind.

I turned around and there I saw Caylus with his camera pointing at me with a victory smile on his lips, "You really are drop-dead gorgeous, gorgeous."

He really does not have a break in his mouth, he keeps making my heart race like crazy.

I was about to open my mouth to tell Caylus to stop when a man suddenly barged in between us offering us that he will take some pictures of Caylus and I.

"What a lovely couple," the photographer complimented.

"Thank you," Caylus replied with a playful smile.

"Please move closer and pose," He instructed us and Caylus immediately positioned himself right beside me and wrapped his arm around my waist while facing the camera with his sly smile.

"Ms. Your boyfriend might look irresistibly handsome but the camera is here, please look at the camera for a moment," the photographer said.

I immediately faced the camera with my crimsoned face and smiled at the camera while Caylus whispered in my ear, "boyfriend....I like that".

My pulse was raising so fast and I suddenly forget how to breathe-- how can he say such a thing in public?!

But imagining Caylus being my boyfriend is literally making my heart feel weird in a good way.

"Alright! Beautiful shots!" The photographer said as he looked at the photos he took and left Caylus and I to take photos of other students and their date.

I heard a laugh coming out from Caylus after the photographer left, "gorgeous you're so cute when you're embarrassed." He wrapped his arm around my waist and lead the way to our table.

"How can I not be embarrassed when he mistook us as a couple!"

"Hmmm, I don't mind being mistaken that we are a couple...." he said and peeked at me not moving his face from facing forward to make sure we don't bump into anyone. I was too busy talking to him that I didn't care about my surrounding, unsure if I'll bump or tripped myself over but Caylus perfectly guided me throughout the walk.

"As long as they mistook you as my girlfriend I wouldn't mind such thing," he added.

"But don't you have someone you liked, how do you think she would feel?! She might feel uncomfortable knowing this relationship we have?"

"Hmm, I don't think she would feel uncomfortable. Maybe flustered or embarrassed."

"The hell? Why would she feel that way?"

"Well, who knows but after knowing in some time, she definitely gets flustered and shy real quick which makes her cuter than she already is."

Unable to give a reply I shut my mouth and walked silently not to make the atmosphere weird.

We sat at our assigned table and I wasn't even surprised who we shared the table with: Nere and Rain were sitting on my left side, Emery and her cousin were across our seat, and Febonee and his prom date were in between Emery and Caylus.

The lights started to dim indicating the program is about to start, soft music was played perfectly for a stary night theme as the MC made their way in the middle of the platform.

The program has officially begun as soon the MC opened their mouths to greet everyone.

The flow of the program was smooth and when it was almost our turn to dance so we made our way silently to get ready for our turn.

"Are you nervous?" a soft air brushed my ear like whisper.

I turned around and it was no other than my dance partner for this dance, Delice.

Delice gave let out a soft chuckle after seeing a surprised me fae him. "You're cute," he said in a whisper that I wasn't able to fully hear. "Wait what did you say?" I asked him but he gave me no reply instead he grabbed onto my waist pulling me. I am desperate for him to repeat what he said that it felt like we are arguing, well a one-sided argument, that I only realized that we are on the dance floor when the lights suddenly dimmed and the music started playing.

The spotlight was shunned in the middle where Delice and I are situated, now all eyes are on us.

I gulped in the sudden crowd looking at me but Delice squeezed my waist telling me that it's alright and relax.

I let out a breath as I follow Delice's guide.

I was a quick wet boy

Diving too deep for coins

All of your straight light eyes

Wide on my plastic toys

I am not still a hundred percent focus and am secretly making mistakes under this dress. Yes, I have been stepping on Delice's foot countless times in these heels and I can imagine how painful it is and he is doing so well to hide that pain.

Then when the cops closed fair

I cut my long baby hair

Stole me a dog earned map

And called for you everywhere

"I'm really sorry Delice," I mouthed Delice when I stepped on his foot again that his eyes twitched for a second. It must have hurt so much now.

But Delice was still so kind enough to tell me, "It's alright, just relax and imagine how that it's just the two of us dancing here."

Have I found you?

Flightless bird, jealous, weeping

Or lost you?

American mouth

Big bill looming

And I did as he said.

I imagined us to be alone dancing together in this song under the stars and moon decorated above.

Our eyes met and Delice gave me smile, it was a smile that could melt my heart....

Well, it would have if I still have feelings for him but someone has completely taken over my heart and I see no room for it to change.

I now know how much I liked Caylus while dancing to this song with the one I use to dream of being with. Funny how I realized it while dancing with someone else.

It would have been much romantic if I was dancing to this song with Caylus.

I smiled at that thought and shake it off.

Now I'm a fat house cat

Cursing my sore blunt tongue

Watching the warm poison rats

Curl through the wide fence cracks

I danced to my heart's content, enjoying this dance I have with him no longer dreaming for him.

Pissing on magazine...

The dance ended with a turn and our bodies touching each other-- so close that his hot breath is touching my skin.

Slightly catching our breath I said, "Thank you.... for everything."

I looked up to Delice and caught him having an expression I don't seem to understand.

The lights were dimmed and it was a signal for us to leave the dance floor.

Once we left the dancefloor I let go of Delice's hand which has been holding on to my hand until we return back but he grabbed my hand pulling me onto him enough for me to land on his hard body.

I was shocked by his sudden gesture that I wasn't able to move but his hand snaked to my waist while his other hand rested at the back of my head like he was embracing me. I can hear his heart beating not sure of what the coast is.

He leaned closer and now his hot breath caressed my ear, "Don't go..."

Don't go?

What does he mean?

Then I felt his warm lips meet my side of my lips.

Surprised and didn't know what to react I stood there like stone processing what just happened.

D-did he just.....

I opened my mouth to demand an answer to this sudden action of his but he let go of me and dashed off outside before I could even utter a word.

I touched the side of my cheeks where he had left a kiss on.

What is the meaning of this?

I turned around to head back to our table but I met Caylus's eyes.

Don't tell me he saw that,

No, he probably didn't since it was dark when that happened.

But there is still a big possibility that he did.

And my heart is raising so bad afraid of what he thinks just happened a while ago.

Please don't get it the wrong way,

please......
